What about Pope Alexander VI who became pope in 1492 — but before then he was just Rodrigo Borgia, a member of the notorious Italian crime family the Borgias. And in true crime-family fashion, he used money to buy his way into the papacy.
He also had several mistresses and fathered at least nine illegitimate children — possibly as a result of hosting orgies.

You mean like Pope John XII who came to the throne in 955, when he was just 18. Shortly thereafter, he turned his residence into a brothel, gambled with church offerings, and was even accused of castrating a cardinal. Praise the Lord!

“When people ask me if a god created the universe, I tell them that the question itself makes no sense. Time didn’t exist before the big bang, so there is no time for god to make the universe in. It’s like asking directions to the edge of the earth; The Earth is a sphere; it doesn’t have an edge; so looking for it is a futile exercise. We are each free to believe what we want, and it’s my view that the simplest explanation is; there is no god. No one created our universe,and no one directs our fate. This leads me to a profound realization; There is probably no heaven, and no afterlife either. We have this one life to appreciate the grand design of the universe, and for that I am extremely grateful.”

On January 3, 1954, Einstein sent the following reply to Gutkind: "The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish."
That was a year before he died, so I guess it took him a while to figure out there was no God.

Putin has publicly said he prefers U.S. President Joe Biden to his predecessor and aspiring successor Donald Trump, a remark widely interpreted to mean exactly the opposite, as the former KGB man hopes his notoriety will boost the Republican mogul.

We now know that there is a reverse correlation between high intelligence on the one hand and illness and death on the other. If you compare the 25% of people with the highest intelligence with the 25% with the lowest intelligence, the latter are at twice the risk of dying prematurely.

Donald Trump, 2005: “I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. When you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab ’em by the pussy. You can do anything.”

That is until President Biden figured out a genius workaround. While Donald Trump was being charged with 88 felonies (recently convicted of 34 of them) and overrun with grievances and dreams of authoritarian retribution, Biden was expertly managing the U.S. oil supply.
The Economist explains how he did it:
In 2022, when he released 180m barrels of crude—or one-third of America’s stockpile—he sold at an average of $95 a barrel. In July last year, when the West Texas Intermediate (wti) benchmark was at $67 a barrel, he began to refill the reserve. The president has replaced about one-fifth of what he sold, posting a profit of $582m, and has managed to time the market to perfection.
Treasury officials estimate that Mr Biden’s early sales knocked about $0.40 from the price of a gallon of petrol.
Funny how “top-class businessman” and convicted felon Donald Trump never did anything like that!
The seeds of Biden's plan seem to go back to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the emergence from the pandemic. Prices were high, supply was low and Biden and our European allies wanted to prevent Russia from using its “oil machine” to finance the war. After he was unable to strike a deal with Saudi Arabia, Biden came up with his plan to use the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to hedge down oil prices.

I told you Gp had a 45 IQ. As a noun, ‘use’ can refer to several functions. Primarily, it denotes the act of utilizing an object or resource. For example, “What is the use of this tool?” In this case, ‘use’ inquires about the tool’s purpose. Another function of ‘use’ as a noun is to convey the versatility or range of applications an item possesses. For instance, “The use of smartphones extends beyond communication.”
You were talking about the "use of the word MAGA MORON.

Putin knows that Trump is so stupid that he can destroy the USA. Remember that Trump increased the US Debt 40 percent to give himself a tax break.
He has said that if he gets reelected he will cut corporate taxes and eliminate SS and Medicare. Remember that one of Trump's professors said the Trump was the dumbest student he ever had.

Donald Trump was a tool in a long-running Russian campaign to weaken the United States. That’s been documented in Republican-led investigative reports, and now it has been updated with new evidence, thanks to the U.S. Intelligence Community’s assessment of the 2020 election. The report, drafted by the CIA, the FBI, and several other agencies, was released in unclassified form in March 2021, but it was presented in classified form on Jan. 7, 2021. In other words, it was compiled, written, and edited during Trump’s administration. It destroys his lies about the election, and it exposes him as a Russian asset.
The report debunks conspiracy theories, promoted by Trump and his lawyers, that hackers in other countries robbed him of victory. “We have no indications that any foreign actor attempted to interfere in the 2020 US elections by altering any technical aspect of the voting process,” including “ballot casting, vote tabulation, or reporting results,” says the document. A separate analysis released by the Department of Justice reaches the same conclusion. The IC report adds that evidence of such operations, if they existed, would have shown up in U.S. surveillance or in “post-election audits of electronic results and paper backups.” The report implicitly mocks insinuations from Trump’s lawyers that former Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez, who died in 2013, somehow rigged Trump's defeat. “We have no information,” it notes drily, that “current or former Venezuelan regimes were involved in attempts to compromise US election infrastructure.”

CEOs weren’t too pleased with Donald Trump’s performance at a private meeting in Washington this week, CNBC said Friday.
The presumptive GOP presidential nominee addressed top business leaders and spoke about the corporate tax rate at Thursday’s gathering, which featured Walmart’s Doug McMillon, Apple’s Tim Cook and JPMorgan Chase’s Jamie Dimon.
A number of CEOs “walked into the meeting being Trump supporter-ish” but left it thinking that he was “remarkably meandering,” Sorkin said on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”
“[He] could not keep a straight thought, was all over the map,” Sorkin recalled hearing from attendees. “These were people who I think might’ve been actually predisposed to him and actually walked out of the room less predisposed to him.”
One CEO reportedly said that the former president didn’t outline how he hopes to achieve his policy proposals, while at least two people in the meeting described Trump’s energy as being subdued, according to CNBC.
