I think the Pope might know people who could decide to increase the pressure. And they’d be right to do so.

Trump and the white house mob are hostile to Catholics .

And totally on point with this administration.

Anyone who speaks about "who we are" needs to define "we" first.

Ahh but it IS who you are now.

Uh, we have been this for quite a while!

This is exactly who we are to the extent we will not or cannot counteract the forces that installed this sort of sadism in power.

I would argue that it’s mostly men who do those horrific things.

Uh oh, his very soul is in trouble now. The Church is alive!

Even epstein said trump was no good--this comes as no surprise.

It is truly sickening. But are we better than this? I don’t know. I wish I believed we were.

TBF it is exactly who we are. And its disgusting.

BREAKING: It is exactly who you are.

Ya, unfortunately..it is who the US govt & its supporters & GOP is!!

Joe many times can you say “strait jacket” for the nut?

Yeah hate to tell you but this IS who you are. Maybe not you personally but certainly 74 million of you are excited that you are bombing the non-whites.

It's always funny to hear that line: "That's not who we are". Reality check. That's exactly who we are. Not everyone individually but as a whole, that's exactly who we are. Until we make a change.

But it is who Trump really is.

It's precisely who we are

No, but IT IS WHO Trump & HIS EVIL REGIME ARE! Once AGAIN the people who CALL the TRUTH "fake news" ARE the ONES CREATING FAKE NEWS for their ENJOYMENT!

We're proving we're not better than this daily.

the white house it's evil

Unfortunately, it’s exactly who we are. Until our elected officials get off their butts and do something, they are representing the people of the United States and our values - the ones they have decided to decimate

This administration is anti-catholic. When is the Supreme Court case coming.

By saying “we” he takes the focus off of the exact individuals who are actually responsible. This softens the intended point in the same way the media is now doing. Say his name and make him own it.

No respect at all - what happened to you America?

Unfortunately, I believe you’re correct.

But that IS who trump is.

That's what many Americans are, unfortunately

I agree with Cardinal Cupich. If we agree that this is who we are now, then we capitulate. I believe we shouldn't accept this as a norm; Ever. I do not care what the percentages may, or may not be, this is not who we are, and I will continue to resist this regime.

😡😡😡

The cardinal is right in assertions but for one: they are VERY Amerikkkan. The USA is a violent place, and the clips reinforce that self image amongst its stupid, ignorant, and depraved citizens. And besides, he's speaking for the largest pedophile organization in the world. Cover-up central.

Americans LOVE war porn, they're addicted to it By Americans put up with and funding shit like trump and Big Media infotainment, that's who Americans are: shit

Speak for yourself. Not who many of us are. And definitely not who we want to be running things or making decisions. Those people should be in prison for war crimes.

Yeah, about that.

Trump is morally bankrupt just like every single Trump voter. Ironic that racist KKK slime call themselves "Christian." The "evangelical" cult is a bunch of criminal racist slime following the scams of con artists who pervert religion into mind control for the dumbest third of Americans.

This administration is twisted. Inhumane

Unfortunately Cardinal, this IS who this regime and the Republican majority are though.

Unfortunately, it IS who you are until you find the will and the gumption to clean house and remove the assholes you installed into leadership positions.

Reason 1,063 Congress should FUCKING IMPEACH, REMOVE, ARREST! DO SOMETHING!

Really sick.

murder & rape is just a game to the scum occupying The Whitehouse #Trump #EpsteinClass #EpsteinFiles #TrumpsteinFiles #Resist

Every day that American bombs and bullets can capriciously murder someone from another country is a day of unease for me. As the father of a murder victim, I just can't fathom the pain my country and tax dollars are causing.

“It IS sickening. This is not who we are… we’re better than this!” 🤘💙🔪🗡️💙🤘

That's who "Power Ranger" wannabe Pete Hegseth is...

Narrator ‘but it was exactly who the Americans were….’

So true! This is NOT who we are! We stand for humanity, decency and for our Democracy. 🗳️💙🌊🇺🇸

Thank you, Cardinal. Media people often lose touch with human feelings, or even values, when pursuing cheap editing tricks that the latest tech makes possible. They have to be reminded that they are not there to enjoy the trivial powers of tech, they are there to make sense of what is happening.

Narrator: “it was, in fact, exactly who we are…”

It sure as hell is starting to look like this is who we are. We elected an evil madman not just one but TWICE. And we still haven’t hit rick bottom, apparently.

So do you think he’ll declare war on the Vatican now? What an idiot. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

SCUMBAG TRUMP

No. You are incorrect. It is who SOME of us are.

Unfortunately, this is who almost half the U.S. population is!!!

We obviously and definitely are not and we don't need a guy in a goofy hat to tell us. Although it is who St. Josemaria's Opus Dei gang are. www.commondreams.org/news/trump-p...

I’m trying to forget how stupid they were and how many still are!

He’s right. It’s sickening!

Putting a microphone in front of religious figures is a big part of why Americans are destined for disaster. You might as well put your faith in astrology! WTF!

Sorry, your eminence. This country voted for that guy, so this is exactly who we are.

It's who some of us are.😡

Unfortunately, it is who we are until we fix this mess

Except that, apparently, it is who we are. In the present.

But you’re not better than this…. If you were, we wouldn’t be having these conversations.

:(

That game-boy video of real war as "entertainment" is a measure of the emotional maturity of Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth -- roughly 12-13 years old? It's mental illness on the one hand, perhaps alcoholism on the other? In neither case, not well adjusted men suited to the jobs they have.

I'm so tired of "not who we are". Can somebody start saying "not who we should be"?

Drunk Pete acts like this is the most recent edition of "Call Of Duty" as he talks about taking "no quarter" and other such bullshit... "Collateral Damage" is acceptable... this from GOP who beat their breasts about the "sanctity of life".. Pro life my ass...

Take a look at the road that brought us here, if you haven’t read our thoughts on the other branches of government they are all here, the conclusion is currently being written. Please let us know what you think of this post! www.the1776.org/post/the-exe...

MAGA submissives will excuse anything- ANYTHING- the authoritarian big man says or does.

Just saw it live

Doctors don’t dress in robes and a shawl with magic light in their hands. Puh- leeze.

He really fucked up. The doctor thing just makes it so obvious even to maga, just how stupid he thinks they are.

He says don’t believe your eyes people! I demand you don’t believe your eyes, damn it!!

despicable!

Why is Donald trying to save Jeffrey Epstein

That caught my attention too. Best guesses are: Perhaps it’s one of the Horsemen of the apocalypse, War? Or maybe an archangel, the avenging kind that does the actual smiting? Trump has no actual knowledge of the Bible or related lore, I doubt he generated this. I think he reposted fan art.

A bunch of immature, sick fucks running our government.

Therein lies the problem. Allowing it to continue demonstrates that this is exactly who we are. Some have always been this way while the vast majority aren't & are angry & are speaking up & out We need to take notes on how Hungary got rid of corrupt Orban family & working on re-democratizing Hungary

This lawless fascist dictatorship is part of the #GlobalFascistDeepStateHydra stripped naked by the #EpsteinFiles. It is not We The People of this nation & this planet. It is the obscenely wealthy subhuman monsters addicted to cruelty & the fascist tools & sycophants that worship them. #NQNQ247

It seems it is who we are. Or far to many of us are.

Unfortunatel, it’s exactly who many of them are.

Well WE are, but they ARE NOT, they are Sickos!

Correction: This IS who we are. It is NOT who we should be.

This is totally who we are.

Very true. Disturbing

😂😂😂

If that POS isn't the anti-christ, he is definitely a prelude to him...!!

It's deeply fucked because it is probably like at least a third of us.

Aren’t we, though?

But it is who we are. (Unfortunately) PS the Catholic Church has a long history of making examples of their enemies that have crucified and tortured in a very public realm. So it’s even more so who you are Cardinal.

White people would gather with their children to watch lynch mobs kidnap, torture, hang, mutilate, and burn Black men. So, dehumanizing and murdering "Others" as entertainment is sadly who white Americans are.

(Until we get rid of Trump) it's very much who we are.

No way am I on trumps side on this But this is a lot of bullshit coming from the Catholic Church I think what shocks trump is that they pretend to not have behaved as he does

focus your disgust on Dolan, the man can barely contain his trump adoration, his brother who owns Madison Square Garden allowed trump to use it free of charge for a close to the election rally

And approved by Pope Leo who has refused to “ visit” the USA until the deranged orange guy is gone

Cupich is one of the most progressive Cardinals (for Catholic church standards). He was Francis appointee. He's been pissing off tradcaths for years now.

I hear you and 100% agree. One of the saddest times for me was when I understood that some people in this country do think violence and targeted oppression is the answer, and cruelty is acceptable means. He is rejecting that and also holding out hope for all of us, especially those who claim Christ.

That's what trump and his maga followers are though...they live for that shit

It is who we are. I’m so sick and tired of people saying this. It isn’t all of us, no, but it does represent us, so it is the US and 77 million people who voted for this man and his administration.

It's not who we (gestures around woke Bluesky) are, but it is who the Grand Old Pedo party is.

Then don’t have your guys show up at Trump events and be all smiles

From the people who did Mass Grave in Canada: www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...

It wouldn't be happening if that wasn't "who we are". There are enough of "us" who either don't consider government a necessary enough part of society that the people we elect be held to at least a basic level of ethics, morality, and humanity, or don't care enough to bother to vote.

I love to see these actual Christians standing up against the vile Trump Regime. They present quite a contrast to the faux-Christians who encouraged him to attack Iran in order to “bring on the End Times.”

👀

Oh, this is sadly exactly who so many of them are.

This IS who they are. Trump and Hegseth think that bombing and killing people is entertaining, like a gruesome reality tv show. It's disgusting for official White House and Defense Department officials to proudly post these videos as if killing people is a game.

It is who we are or we wouldn’t be seeing this. We wouldn’t be sitting here on our phones watching the mad king destroy everything. This is maga and they are not upset or leaving like they pretend. Just because there is an outrage of the day doesn’t mean they’ve left the cult. No.Theyll do it again.

It is who they are though! They are blood thirsty vampires

It’s 100% who maga is.

My heart♥️can’t do enough for the daily pain Isreal and my country, the United State of America is inflicting on a senseless perceived pseudo war. I detest Netanyahu, Trump, Orban, and Putin. Freaking just go away. To Hell where you belong!

I have to say I agree with the Cardinal. Makes the Dept of War look like juvenile bullies.
