Trump & GOP v. Pope Leo

I have an acquaintance (wouldn't call him an actual friend) on Facebook who consistently posts apologist material for MAGA. The Pope is criticized for visiting Muslim sites and acknowledging some commonality between Islam and Christianity when he should be speaking out on the violence by Islamic states, as if he condones it. So he's only allowed to make statements addressing politics they approve of. The universal message of peace is lost on them.
 
anecdotal example :

An all white crew painted my house in Topsail Beach. They arrived around 9am took frequent smoke breaks, a 90 minute lunch, and went home at 4pm. They worked only a half a day on Fridays and not at all on the weekend and did a pretty mediocre job.

Flash forward a few years to me getting my house painted in Carrboro. It was an all Hispanic crew. They arrived at the house before dawn and waited in their vehicles until it became daylight and worked until dark with a 1/2 hour lunch. They worked on the weekends as well. They did an excellent job so much so that neighbors were asking me for the company's phone number.
this very much mirrors my experiences with workers in various construction and service fields in my area.
