From what I can tell not the worst guy. Sort of a continuation of Francis though more moderate.
I’m sure he’s not great in like an absolute sense. Don’t really think any pope would be. Also I’m not a catholic so idrc what they do. But I just read a bunch of comments from a bunch of tradcaths malding about this choice so I’m happy.

Oh no my congressional decorum! 
Yes. In fact I’d prefer it to whatever the hell it is you’re suggesting
What’s your point here? We should be policing how people dress because having an outfit makes someone feel good? That’s such a non-point. And who’s to says this style of dress doesn’t make Fetterman feel good?
No one’s gonna shit on Claudia de la Cruz because the whole point is it shouldn’t matter what people wear. It’s the content of what they do that matters.
Yeah it was the case in 2016 also that Trump just listens to the last person he’s talked to. I wouldn’t be surprised if Bessent comes out on top. I’ve already seen him portrayed as “the adult in the room,” especially after this recent spat with Musk.
Any idea what wing he represents? I know he worked for a hedge fund. I don’t think of him as one of the Thiel-backed tech bros though
Damn didn’t realize trump had bars like that
Hetero-Pacific Agreement 
lol like the first thing trump did in 2016 was to nix a trade bloc against China that included Japan. This man’s ability to accelerate US collapse by years is unparalleled
The adults are back in charge

And Baron Trump, through the baron trump time travel conspiracy, is Fidel’s father
Amazing post. Don’t forget how he clings to stale memes that haven’t been funny (if they ever were) for over a decade. You don’t see Trump posting Pepe like it’s 2016 anymore yet Musk is convinced doge is the height of humor and the letter x is still as epic as it was when he was 10 years old
Looks like trump is getting tired of winning
If this happened in like 2016 or earlier I’d be celebrating. At this point it’s bled into the real world so much does this really mean anything. My Instagram explore page might as well be /pol/
my people yearn for oversized murder machines
Oh you think you’re a birdwatcher now? Cause you saw one bird? Listen up asshole, I’ve logged literally thousands of birds across seven continents and five oceans. Birds you’ve never even heard of. Birds that haven’t even been discovered by science yet. I’ve been published in ornithology journals for my observations. I’m recognized by the RSPB and the American Birding Association as one of the world’s premier birdwatchers. I’ve given lectures on ornithology at universities worldwide. And you think you can come in here with some fucking crow you saw in your backyard? Asshole.
I have seen the stuff about protecting pedophile priests. Obviously horrible, but it’s also the Catholic Church so I’m not really expecting great things from them. Iirc Francis was also not great on those things. Not really sure if this guy is worse, I don’t keep up on those things.
Can you expound a bit on the Rerum Novarum? I’m not in a place where I can really read anything rn. I did look briefly at the Wikipedia page, it seems like it’s mostly some typical lib “we don’t like socialism but we’re also against ‘crony capitalism’” stuff. Is that generally correct?
I wasn’t expecting some socialist or something in the papacy. But I suppose I’m coming from the perspective of seeing a lot of people hoping for the immediate rollback of the past 70 or more years of social progress after the election of Trump. Like a great worldwide mandate to return to the social order of old. And so even though this guy seems like just some basic moderate, not even as progressive as Francis (a low bar), the fact that he’s not completely against those reforms and in many cases supportive seems like not the worst outcome.
