Conclave (2024)
The Pope has died, and a Cardinal at the Vatican (Ralph Fiennes) is in charge of the conclave that will elect a successor. A lot of scheming occurs. The director manages to make a bunch of priests talking with each other feel suspenseful. There's a surprise at the end that I liked.

But above all you should understand that there can never be peace between nations until there is known that true peace, which, as I have often said, is within the souls of men.

I can’t get over how, a month after the “inauguration,” James Carville advocated for Democrats to make what he called a daring political maneuvre: to “play dead,” not realizing that the party had already been doing that for years.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.
And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

Eight Dems voted to reopen the government, assured by John Thune that there would be a vote on ACA subsidies, right? What’s the status on that? Oh I see. Silence. And House GOP says No. It’s almost as if you can’t trust these people.

Think about all the evil assholes in this administration.
They *all* expect to die of old age, obscenely wealthy, surrounded by family, because that is how the US has allowed *every single previous evil asshole* to live after doing their atrocities.
They learned they will never be punished.

The only reason to have the military in D.C. is to increase tensions and antagonize people to the point they over-react, creating "justification" for increasing crackdowns on innocent people. It's all a con.

I only watch CBS for sports and I'm always amazed at these copaganda franchises that have somehow spawned six different shows with twelve seasons each. And all of them called "NCIS: Duluth" or "Ambulance Firemen Marshals" or some shit.
