# This Weeks Discussion Theme: [Consoom Trumpler] (https://arete.network/polls/39f7e396-11a0-4c41-9cf4-deaf34f80341/)
In this weekly we consoooooooooom Trumpler! Unless you been living in a log cabin off grid for the last two weeks you likely know Trump has been arrested. So, what did he do? They must have finally gotten him for his trips to Epstein Island? Oops, wrong guy. Wait oh it must have been for his son’s shady business deals with Ukraine and China. Dang, wrong guy again. Oh, wait, it has something to do with that corn star Hurricane Denise? Wasn’t all this nonsense settled like years ago? Who knows... Just need to crack open a few more Dylan Mulvaney Bud Lights and turn on CNN. Is there any sports ball on?
 
 
 
 
 
Discussion ideas:
 
 
 
* What is your opinion on Trumps arrest?
* Is it really campaign finance fraud or just weaponized lawfare?
* Do you think Trumps arrest have harmed his prospects for 2024 or helped?

Content mirroring between [scored.co/c/ConsumeProduct](https://scored.co/c/ConsumeProduct) and [arete.network/b/ConsumeProduct](https://arete.network/b/ConsumeProduct) is now ready for an experimental test run. There are bound to be some issues starting out and changes may be reverted if anything goes catastrophically wrong.
   
I have tried my best to minimize the number of requests to the Scored API as much as possible, which means that feed updates won't happen in real time, but they should still be frequent enough to display fresh content (currently a 15 minute interval). Old posts will be updated when accessed directly or when listed on feeds.
   
I've made sure to respect content deletion and not retain deleted content, so as long as everything works as intended, content deleted by users on scored.co should become unavailable as soon as someone attempts to view it, if not prior to that through feed updates detecting discrepancies.
   
Any posts or comments you make on Arete Network's Consume Product board will be automatically crossposted to Scored by a bot account.
   
Mirrored content is by default hidden from Arete's front page, but you may choose to enable it in [your settings](https://arete.network/settings/), or turn it off entirely if you so desire.
   
~ u/Elvis_Interstellar on Scored.co

The time is now to begin pushing the message that the lower races need to police their own. It is their responsibility, and their complacency must now be seen as guilt. The families and friends must now be held accountable for their own even if they're innocent. Whites are no longer the bad guys for pointing it out.

 If this hasn't lead to a fully fledged rebellion, nothing will. You know its bad when TallestSkil has a point again

That's all really. Just wanted to reiterate

> The Fioretti, or "Little Flowers", is not a biography, btu a collection of episodes, or, as the title itself describes it, the fairest and choicest flowers of the seraphic life of S. Francis and his companions.

These stories remind me of a fully Western version of the Eastern writings of the episodes of the "Desert Fathers".

Excerpt:

> CHAPTER XXIII How S. Francis delivered the brother that was in sin with the devil

> As S. Francis was on a time at prayer in the House of Portiuncula, through divine revelation he saw the whole House surrounded and besieged by devils, as it were by a great army, but no one of them could win an entrance into the House; for the brothers were of so great sanctity, that the devils could find none in whom to enter. But as they so continued, it happened on a day that one of these brothers was offended with another, and thought in his heart how he might accuse him and take vengeance upon him; for the which cause, while his heart was devising this wicked thought, the devil, finding the door open, entered into the House and set himself upon the neck of that brother. But the heedful and pitying Shepherd, who was ever keeping watch over his flock, seeing that the wolf had entered to devour his little sheep, at once let call to him that brother, and bade him forthwith disclose the venom of hate he had conceived against his neighbour, through the which he had fallen into the hands of the enemy. Whereat he being affrighted at seeing that the holy Father knew the secret of his heart, discovered unto him all its venom and malice, and acknowledged his fault, and humbly begged for penance and mercy; and this done, whenas he was absolved from his sin and had received penance, immediately, before the face of S. Francis, the devil was away; and the brother thus set free from the hands of that cruel beast, through the loving-kindness of the good Shepherd, gave thanks to God; and going back, corrected and admonished, to the flock of the holy Shepherd, he lived there-after in great sanctity.
