Two Catholic bishops have expressed regret about agreeing to a White House meeting that produced a publicly distributed photo of them praying with Donald Trump.

Milwaukee Archbishop Jeffrey Grob, in a statement titled “A Public Apology,” said Sunday that he had received many questions and comments — some of them distraught — about the meeting on Thursday which he and 11 other bishops attended.

He said the meeting was speedily publicized by the White House with photos and a video, without consent of the participants, and less than two weeks away from the midterm elections.

    We’ll have exactly the same problems (worse by then) when Dems sweep in next presidency, probably with a zionist at the head of the Democratic party, backed by corporatists money. The Dems wont save us, we’ll have to muddle through ourselves somehow. This is why so many people are looking to coerce the dems to be better rather than focussing solely on republican crimes to the exclusion of the bigger picture.

      We sure did well by not punishing the last set of confederate traitors.

      There needs to be real consequences or the fascists will keep doing it.
