Pope Bob from Chicago is not backing down, having just tweeted this:
"Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth."
As a recovering Catholic, trust me, you don’t want to convert. You can, however, enjoy the fact that Pope Bob is doing great work in making the 🍊💩👜 and its cronies look like the idiots they truly are. And hopefully, turning a lot of voting Catholics away from the idiot children currently in charge.
Lapsed Catholic here. I greatly admire Pope Leo. I greatly hate Donald Trump. Why take care away from innocent kids? I don't think it's their or the pope's fault. Why not, as a nation, we take Prez Dumbfuck and his idiots out of Washington? A desert island devoid of air would be nice.
Oh no. I'd be very suspicious of them until they have scientific proof of the existence of their particular god. They don't. They never will. Don't be a sucker.
I love Pope Bob, but that's where it ends for me. 😅 I can't believe how easily and quickly these fake-ass "believers" in the white house can abandon their beliefs!! I hope that little Johnson gets booed out of his church and I hope his kids are asking LOTS of questions right now.
I was going to say just about the same exact thing Arne. You’re readin my mail as my mom used to say.
The pope is just an honest, awesome person. I don’t ever see myself in another religion but if anyone could lean me that direction it would be Pope Bob
Hahahaha. Better not piss off the Chicago pope, who speaks better English than the num-chucks in Donny's WH. Oh, and please don't trash talk raccoons, Jeff. They would NEVER live in Donny's/Dinsdale's head, but maybe spiny Norman, the occasionally giant hedgehog. Anyway, funny you mention Monty Python, as we are all currently trapped in an endless episode of "Flying Circus" minus the satire.
As much as we democracy loving liberals don't want to believe the depth of faith Trump's cultists have in his "who cares about democracy or an equitable melting pot society" ethos. America is all powerful therefore America can do whatever it wants, to whoever it wants, whenever it wants. Period. That's the Trump doctrine, pure and simple. Anything he says or does to promote American Dominance is AWESOME! (they firmly believe).
Hopefully, this is a small enough minority of Americans that we will win majority victories in the midterms. It will be a VERY noisy victory on both sides when we do.
Those 7-10 million Democrats who sat out the 2024 election to give us Trump had better show up in Nov.🙏
I am a barely-practicing Jew who doesn’t care much for organized religion. But Pope Bob from Chicago could have me baptized and chanting Hail Marys by dinner time.
Me thinks dumpy and his enablers vastly underestimated, (as always their style), the outcome of picking a fight with Pope Leo, better known to all who love him-Pope Bob from Chicago. Chicagoans never back down from a fight and especially one where they "HOLD ALL THE CARDS"! Good luck to dumpy, hegsbreath, just dance and covenant eyes. Give it up guys while you remain are empty handed, so to speak.
I love you and your work, and I hope you'll take this suggestion in the view it's intended. I cringe a little bit when you call him "Bob" because it reminds me of when people insist on referring to trans people under their previous names (aka "deadnames.") A good friend of mine posted a meme about this after Leo became pope, pointing out that, see, it's not so hard to respect a person's chosen name, is it? It doesn't detract from any of the points that you make to refer to him as Leo rather than Bob. Whatever you decide, I remain grateful for you and your work in the world, which is helping me and so many others to get through The Horrors.
Nice. All Trumpian roads lead to Russia. I’m loving how the new Prime Minister of Hungary laid bare for the world to see his predecessor Orban had been funneling money to CPAC. What everybody knows is that Orban was getting that money from Putin. Time for the Dems in Congress to probe foreign investment in Republicans’ campaigns. I don’t care how many times you launder it, the money starts in Russia.
You know one of the favorite places for Russians to launder money? High-end NYC and South Florida real estate. Gee, look at those real estate goofballs negotiating with Putin. I wonder what’s most important. Peace in Ukraine or property deals?
Eileen, that's exactly what HRC said during the 2016 campaign, and she got pilloried for it. But she was right about everything. And you're right about the need for investigations. All roads lead not only to Putin, but also through Epstein. Ugh.
Ooooh....I love Manhattans. The cherries called Griottines are absolutely worth your investigation....find them on Amazon. Add a tiny bit of the juice to your concoction. YUM!!
Sadly, I was forced to give up alcohol. My unreasonable doctor has a rule against mixing it with my pain medication. I miss Pinot Grigio most of all, but I also miss the occasional cocktail 🍸 😢. I'll be on pain meds for the rest of my life, so I'll never get to try a dry martini.
(Unless I cheat…which I will likely do when we have midterm results. Please don't tell on me!)
My friends introduced me to the "007" which is a variation of the famous Vesper martini. It uses very, very little vermouth (doesn't need to be Lillet blanc), and equal parts gin and vodka. It's so smooth and delicious. 🍸
Randy, the volunteer bartender at the American Legion in Palm Springs, CA makes the very best 007 ever. Believe it or not, but that place is the hottest ticket in town on Friday nights when they have live music and dancing.
Sometimes, after reading the news, I have a liquid salad in the form of a Bloody Maria! There’s vitamins in there, vegetables, etc. so it’s healthy. The tequila helps with the “what the actual fuck did I just read” syndrome haunting all of us.
Jeff, all this Christian religious talk by this crew just dialing it up more so is amazing to me… they are always so proud of their “alternative reality” spouting “facts”.. Yesterday our minister of offense read a quote purported to be from the Bible, however it was discovered to be from the hit movie Pulp Fiction… I can’t, I just can’t anymore..🤮
Sadly not unusual anymore but when i read that about the Tarantino quote i thought it had to be from the Onion or Borowitz report. All of this insanity is enough to make those of us with at least some sanity left feel insane.
I thought it was funny in its over the top skewering of smokers, Captain Hazelwood of Exxon Valdez infamy, and the hoax of global warming, according to conservative dumbasses
Tiny Mike is a member of the NAR. This is just a quick search from Google but:
"Mike Johnson's Association with the New Apostolic Reformation
Acknowledgment of Influence
Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House, has publicly acknowledged that the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) has had a "profound influence" on his life. This connection highlights his alignment with the movement's beliefs and goals.
Overview of the New Apostolic Reformation
The NAR is a controversial Christian movement that combines elements of Pentecostalism and evangelicalism. It advocates for a form of Christian dominionism, aiming to influence all aspects of society, including government, and seeks to weaken the separation of church and state.
Political Implications
Johnson's ties to the NAR are significant, especially considering the movement's involvement in political activities, including efforts to support Donald Trump's claims regarding the 2020 election. This connection raises concerns about the influence of religious extremism in American politics.
In summary, Mike Johnson is indeed associated with the New Apostolic Reformation, which plays a notable role in shaping his political views and actions.
Stop posting about Hot Mayor Mamdani! I'm married for crying out loud. :P
Presidential Ass-Kiss Industrial Complex had me cackling.
On the subject of religious fuckery, did you see Kegstand Pete quoting Jules' monologue from Pulp Fiction at a prayer something? I just about died and so did much of the audience who knew it wasn't an actual Bible quote.
JustADick's tome about his conversion to Catholicism has a Methodist church on the cover. Kegseth thinks Jesus wrote the script for Pulp Fiction......
Not only should journalists claim the "What the fuck is wrong with you?" prize, but they should also adopt a query that we would apply to certain people, back in my youth on Long Island: "Does it hurt to be that stupid?"
And Tarentino makes no secret of the inspiration for using nor that it’s made up except for the last two lines. Here’s a hint for the Christo-fascists: Ezekiel was making it clear that the right of vengeance is God’s alone.
Well no wonder the rich were pooping their silk panties when Mamdani was elected. Tiny, tiny violins for alla you entitled jagoffs. Strait of Vermouth. I believe it's near the Sea of Gin and the Mount of Olives. You can't make this shit up.
Probably one of Tuberville's heroes, Adolf Hitler, wouldn't even let my forerunners convert- he just killed them straight out. These trumpers have been rewriting history to make Nazis acceptable- so much more extreme even than 'convert or be killed.' Now that they are paying Geo and CoreCivic to build and run our very own concentration camps, they are even less likely to criticize the Nazis. But, as always, trumpers don't see irony.
I have a comment for each stop on the Big Wheel of Moron. Scott Bessent: If the Earth's natural habitat is water, why can't we breathe in it? The Just War doctrine states that the only just war is a war of self defense when you've been attacked. Accordingly, Iran is the only one fighting a just war right now. Tommy Tubs: "What kind of religion says if you're not in our religion, we'll kill you?" Well, Tommy, at one time Christianity was that kind of religion. And I firmly believe that it would be again if they thought that they could get away with it.
The Christian Nationalists ARE KILLING WOMEN with their misogynistic laws allowing them to bleed out in hospital parking lots instead of giving them the medical care they need.
Tommy got dropped on the head too many times. Given that the base never does actual research on anything and just takes whatever junk is put out there as gospel truth, they'll just bob their heads in agreement or hide in fear. There's a substantial Muslim population near me in Chicago. I work with Muslims. None of them are murderous blood thirsty people who want to kill Christians. My Dad was in the hospital for an open heart procedure some years ago and we were waiting while he was in surgery. There was a large Muslim family waiting in the same area while their loved one was in surgery. They had brought tons of food for their wait. They went out of their way to share with us and were very kind. That's been my experience across the board. Kind and generous. Family oriented.
I'd rather see them in the skit where people are hiding behind 'shrubbery' in a field, and when they stand up they get exploded:
"Mr. Musk cannot be seen. Stand up, Mr. Musk! BOOM!" "Mr. Bezos cannot be seen. Stand up, Mr. Bezos! (No one stands) STAND UP MR. BEZOS!....no, I don't want to. PLEASE STAND UP, MR. BEZOS!....oh...ok.....BOOM!"
Most of what Holy Brother Johnson references doesn't mean what he thinks it says. Stunningly stupid, amoral, vicious bit of fermented plankton that he is.
As much as we democracy loving liberals don't want to believe the depth of faith Trump's cultists have in his "who cares about democracy or an equitable melting pot society" ethos. America is all powerful therefore America can do whatever it wants, to whoever it wants, whenever it wants. Period. That's the Trump doctrine, pure and simple. Anything he says or does to promote American Dominance is AWESOME! (they firmly believe).
Hopefully, this is a small enough minority of Americans that we will win majority victories in the midterms. It will be a VERY noisy victory on both sides when we do.

https://x.com/Pontifex/status/2044759211100291129
Pope Bob rocks the world!!!!
IDK, as an atheist or agnostic I'm tempted to convert for Pope Bob.
Atheist here, and I'm not afraid to say I love me some Pope Bob!
Same here, Jane and Arne!
Me too, Cheri, Jane, and Arne!
Jane NC, me, too!!
He had me at "darkness and filth."
“filth” here…
I’m biased; But when you need a job done right, hire a Bob
Right on, Bob!
b o o m
As a recovering Catholic, trust me, you don’t want to convert. You can, however, enjoy the fact that Pope Bob is doing great work in making the 🍊💩👜 and its cronies look like the idiots they truly are. And hopefully, turning a lot of voting Catholics away from the idiot children currently in charge.
Lapsed Catholic here. I greatly admire Pope Leo. I greatly hate Donald Trump. Why take care away from innocent kids? I don't think it's their or the pope's fault. Why not, as a nation, we take Prez Dumbfuck and his idiots out of Washington? A desert island devoid of air would be nice.
("devoid of air" A truly great idea, Jan. That never crossed my mind. Thanks for adding that to the important discussion of: "what's next?")
Ditto! But I'd convert only to "Pope Bobism."
Definitely!
good point!!
This Quaker is thinking of going to Mass!
Oh no. I'd be very suspicious of them until they have scientific proof of the existence of their particular god. They don't. They never will. Don't be a sucker.
As a Jewish agnostic the thoughts of converting have crossed my mind too. Love this new pope!
Love it!!!
Same here arne!
Me too 😁
I love Pope Bob, but that's where it ends for me. 😅 I can't believe how easily and quickly these fake-ass "believers" in the white house can abandon their beliefs!! I hope that little Johnson gets booed out of his church and I hope his kids are asking LOTS of questions right now.
‘smart career moves’ is what it’s called iirc
I was going to say just about the same exact thing Arne. You’re readin my mail as my mom used to say.
The pope is just an honest, awesome person. I don’t ever see myself in another religion but if anyone could lean me that direction it would be Pope Bob
good idea, I don't claim any special religion, but his sounds awesome!
Ditto!
Hahahaha. Better not piss off the Chicago pope, who speaks better English than the num-chucks in Donny's WH. Oh, and please don't trash talk raccoons, Jeff. They would NEVER live in Donny's/Dinsdale's head, but maybe spiny Norman, the occasionally giant hedgehog. Anyway, funny you mention Monty Python, as we are all currently trapped in an endless episode of "Flying Circus" minus the satire.

I love this Pope. This girl hasn’t been to church since 8th grade but Pope Leo makes it a possibility again.
As a catholic turned atheist in a war zone I approve of your message Sheila.
Me too !
Yeah, you are aware that almost all of what they'll be talking about will be nonsense and lies-- right? Stay home and read (another) book. IMHO.
This is the direct result of Trump and his “disciples” attempting to lecture the Pope on theology, and I am here for it!
We’ve got a “woe.” Can we get a smite? Anyone got a smite? Please God bring on the smiting.
The MAGA cult army flipped out on X in response to that post. What a fucking freakshow that cult is.
Never read the comments on X.
They are truly depressing....
So very true, Jane.
I am a barely-practicing Jew who doesn’t care much for organized religion. But Pope Bob from Chicago could have me baptized and chanting Hail Marys by dinner time.
Some of the Jewish Nazis in Trump’s camp have almost convinced me of becoming antisemitic!
Me thinks dumpy and his enablers vastly underestimated, (as always their style), the outcome of picking a fight with Pope Leo, better known to all who love him-Pope Bob from Chicago.

Hilarious! LOL!
Sock it to em Pope Bob!
Not Catholic
Not even religious
But I love this guy!
If there were more religious guys (and gals) like this, religion might stand a fighting chance of continuing to exist
This killing people while waving the bible has got to stop.
The pope knows this as do all the sane people in the world.
The pope needs to be aided and abetted—not disparaged.
I’m an atheist but I love Pope Bob! Possibly because we both come from Chicago. I even forgive him for being a White Sox fan.
Beautifully stated.
I just spontaneously converted to Catholicism. Smoking a cigarette and staring at the ceiling right now.
This Jewish/atheist gal is definitely in the "Pope Bob from (the South Side of) Chicago" fan club!
That sounds like a curse. A mal ojo on the Trump administration.
Go Pope Bob!! Show all the traitors to this country how it’s done! 🙌
I love you and your work, and I hope you'll take this suggestion in the view it's intended.

Is it just me or does it sound like every time Hegseth tries to say Strait of Hormuz it comes out “Straight Up Vermouth?”
Bessent is going to sail up the Strait of Vermouth all the way to Manhattan. On the rocks.
I think many in the administration might be considered White Russians
Nice. All Trumpian roads lead to Russia. I’m loving how the new Prime Minister of Hungary laid bare for the world to see his predecessor Orban had been funneling money to CPAC. What everybody knows is that Orban was getting that money from Putin. Time for the Dems in Congress to probe foreign investment in Republicans’ campaigns. I don’t care how many times you launder it, the money starts in Russia.

Definetly not Sex on The Beach
Ugh!
Yep.
Woah Jen ~ good one!!
Is it just me, or does anyone else have fantasies of watching somebody smack that smug look off Soybean Scott's face?
Oh......I don't want to WATCH somebody.......................
I have a particularly grotty pair of gardening sneakers that I would happily use on Soybeanssent. In service of my country.
I'll pay good money to see that! You're a true patriot, Joyce!
Me, too! Lots of money.
One of many punchable faces!
I feel th at way about a lot of administration members. This morning I was thinking a lot about someone slapping Hegseth.
It's not just you, Jane!!
Long line that winds around the block.
I pay $100 for that opportunity!
I raise my hand to that!
Yes!!!!!!!! He makes my skin crawl.
Not just you. I would love to slap him upside the head and wipe that smirk off his face. He's so awful.
🖐️🖐️
Bessent: a stupid stupid person.
😆
not that there's anything wrong with that, I love a good Manhattan - in a lowball glass with one big rock!
From mid-March:
Too bad the Strait of Hormuz
Ain't filled instead with booze
'Cuz then Whiskey Pete
Might think it neat
To try a tanker cruise
Nice! 👏👏👏
Our new Poet Laureate, folks! 👏👏
😂😂😂
👏👏👏
HAHAH! Is it too early for a martini??
I like a martini. I've never had straight vermouth, tho
My dad’s drink was a Manhattan “very dry,” meaning wave the cap from the vermouth bottle over the glass.
The surrealist filmmaker Luis Bunuel claimed his martini allowed a beam of sunlight to pass through the bottle of vermouth and then land on the gin.
Much like my brother’s suggestion. Bring out bottle of vermouth, present bottle to glass of gin, put vermouth back in cabinet.
Ooooh....I love Manhattans. The cherries called Griottines are absolutely worth your investigation....find them on Amazon. Add a tiny bit of the juice to your concoction. YUM!!
Not Amazon, Please! Boycott Bezos and all his enterprises.
I'm aware... just not sure where to find these little French cherries.
I like a gin martini, shaken, not stirred, straight up, with two olives. When served, bow in the direction of France.
My dad would just whisper "vermouth" over his gin martini.
Me neither.
Coat the glass with vermouth. Blue Cheese, Crisp Olives, Shake the hell out of it. Vodka for me. CHEERS.
I'm a classicist and prefer good gin. To each his/her own.
Ever had Blue Coat? More juniper forward than most.
That sounds better than a salad for lunch! Mmmmmm!
P.S. Vermouth is disgusting. It is like the vomit from a wino, who also ate a bag of sugary cough drops.
Jennifer Patterson - the black haired 'Fat Lady' said "I like keeping Vermouth around because I'm not inclined to drink it."
Buy dry Vermouth and mix it with gin. It's sublime.
Sadly, I was forced to give up alcohol. My unreasonable doctor has a rule against mixing it with my pain medication. I miss Pinot Grigio most of all, but I also miss the occasional cocktail 🍸 😢. I'll be on pain meds for the rest of my life, so I'll never get to try a dry martini.
(Unless I cheat…which I will likely do when we have midterm results. Please don't tell on me!)
If vermouth was the last bottle of booze on earth I'd give it a shot.
Thats an awesome description!
I agree. Vermouth is gross. I go straight in to most liquors with some ice and a splash of water. Sometimes I leave out the water.
My friends introduced me to the "007" which is a variation of the famous Vesper martini. It uses very, very little vermouth (doesn't need to be Lillet blanc), and equal parts gin and vodka. It's so smooth and delicious. 🍸
Believe this or not, I have had that drink at a great restaurant in Ambler, Pennsylvania. It WAS good!!
Randy, the volunteer bartender at the American Legion in Palm Springs, CA makes the very best 007 ever. Believe it or not, but that place is the hottest ticket in town on Friday nights when they have live music and dancing.
It's 5 o'clock somewhere!
In Pete Kegstand’s office, the clock stopped at 5:01.
I keep making the "joke" that I'm gonna replace the water glass by my bed with a glass of Tequila so I can just wake up drunk!
Don't do it! I've been down that road. It turns ugly.
Sometimes, after reading the news, I have a liquid salad in the form of a Bloody Maria! There’s vitamins in there, vegetables, etc. so it’s healthy. The tequila helps with the “what the actual fuck did I just read” syndrome haunting all of us.
It's 5:00 somewhere. Ukraine and Hungary, as a matter of fact (if they haven't switched to daylight savings time yet.)
Never.
I prefer my straight vermouth with a lemon twist 🍸
"Ssshrthrhufph Vermmofffht (hic!)"
LOL
😂😂😂😂
Yup!
LOL that's his usual order.
It’s not just you
😂🤣😂🤣
Jeff, all this Christian religious talk by this crew just dialing it up more so is amazing to me… they are always so proud of their “alternative reality” spouting “facts”.. Yesterday our minister of offense read a quote purported to be from the Bible, however it was discovered to be from the hit movie Pulp Fiction… I can’t, I just can’t anymore..🤮
yeah, Pete's fake prayer is shortlisted for this week's 'this week in stupid'
Gets my vote.
Jeff you named it right when you said Wheel of moron.
You can post AI with yourself divine
But that don't make you a saint
You can deceive your cultist stooges
With your every bullshit feint
You can brag you're making us great again
When it's abundantly clear you ain't
With your anus mouth and labia neck
That means your chin's a taint
Doc working overtime!
It's twoo, it's twoo! 🤣
😜
😂😂😂😂
👏👏👏👏👏
That was a surprise ending! GREAT! Publish, Doc.
This. Well. I can’t even find the words to properly appreciate its perfection. Oh, maybe I did. 🤣
👏👏👏👏
OMG. 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Brings a whole new meaning to eminently quotable
Most of Jules’ recitation from Ezekiel was made up, except the last two lines, and inspired by its use in a martial arts movie from the 1970s.
Sadly not unusual anymore but when i read that about the Tarantino quote i thought it had to be from the Onion or Borowitz report. All of this insanity is enough to make those of us with at least some sanity left feel insane.
OMG... Well, Kegger probably has it on a loop so he can watch it over and over and over again...
My best laugh today. Thanks.
What was it? What did Kegsbreath say?
he quoted https://youtu.be/x2WK_eWihdU?t=65 as if that was actually in the Bible
Holy shit, I missed that one and probably woulda caught it cuz I loves me some Pulp Fiction.
"fuckbrainoligarchosis" Get this in the dictionary ASAP! 😂😂
And yes...Waterworld was time I'll never get back. What a shitty movie.
The attack on Pope Bob is going to backfire spectactularly... Limp Dick Mike is just that. WTF.
Everything is a bad cartoon right now...these people never fail to be even dumber the day after they were dumb.
Thanks for the Monty Python, too. It's perfect!!
Waterworld - you can tell the order in which scenes were filmed by how bad Jeanne Tripplehorn’s sunburn was in each.
Thank you, Susan! Was entering the comments just to mention Jeff’s brilliant new word!
"fuckbrainoligarchosis" is my favorite new word. I think it should be in the DSM-6 (psychiatric manual)
I thought it was funny in its over the top skewering of smokers, Captain Hazelwood of Exxon Valdez infamy, and the hoax of global warming, according to conservative dumbasses
I dont think Mike Johnson is even Catholic.
He's a Southern Baptist, according to google, but it doesn't say anywhere where he actually goes to church on Sundays either inbDC or Louisiana.

Me too. Him and all his big ideas to do "actual good" for "real people" and "keeping campaign promises."
Same. 😜
You ladies are feelin' Zohrandy
LOL
*snorts coffee*.
Dude. Your brain is beautiful.
Nah. Probably just a couple of pounds of neurons arranged in a gelatinous mass
He is hot too. Such a nice eye candy change from the fat, old MAGAs we are usually stuck looking at. Course it would be hard to out hot Rudy 🔥 🥵
Well no wonder the rich were pooping their silk panties when Mamdani was elected. Tiny, tiny violins for alla you entitled jagoffs. Strait of Vermouth. I believe it's near the Sea of Gin and the Mount of Olives. You can't make this shit up.
Tuberville asks the question “What religion requires that you convert or be killed?” Has he ever heard of the Spanish Inquisition?
Probably one of Tuberville's heroes, Adolf Hitler, wouldn't even let my forerunners convert- he just killed them straight out. These trumpers have been rewriting history to make Nazis acceptable- so much more extreme even than 'convert or be killed.' Now that they are paying Geo and CoreCivic to build and run our very own concentration camps, they are even less likely to criticize the Nazis. But, as always, trumpers don't see irony.

The Christian Nationalists ARE KILLING WOMEN with their misogynistic laws allowing them to bleed out in hospital parking lots instead of giving them the medical care they need.
Well, you know God's will and all.
Tommy got dropped on the head too many times. Given that the base never does actual research on anything and just takes whatever junk is put out there as gospel truth, they'll just bob their heads in agreement or hide in fear. There's a substantial Muslim population near me in Chicago. I work with Muslims. None of them are murderous blood thirsty people who want to kill Christians. My Dad was in the hospital for an open heart procedure some years ago and we were waiting while he was in surgery. There was a large Muslim family waiting in the same area while their loved one was in surgery. They had brought tons of food for their wait. They went out of their way to share with us and were very kind. That's been my experience across the board. Kind and generous. Family oriented.
Pissant doesn't seem to be aware that he is a land-dwelling mammal.
How about we call it the Trump Strait Jacket
I'm in favor of this change! 😂😂
America needs a comedy troupe to come up with the equivalent of Upper Class Twits.
Imagine a sketch featuring Bezos, Thiel, Musk and the Zuke—it practically writes itself!
Never get tired of that skit.
“Oh, poor Oliver! He’s run himself over! He’s dead, but he’s not necessarily out of the running…”
🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
I'd rather see them in the skit where people are hiding behind 'shrubbery' in a field, and when they stand up they get exploded:
"Mr. Musk cannot be seen. Stand up, Mr. Musk! BOOM!" "Mr. Bezos cannot be seen. Stand up, Mr. Bezos! (No one stands) STAND UP MR. BEZOS!....no, I don't want to. PLEASE STAND UP, MR. BEZOS!....oh...ok.....BOOM!"
"How Not to be Seen".😂😂😂😂
HA!

Turn my head and cough.

I wonder, at any given time, what percentage of Trump's cabinet is drunk or high?
A sizable proportion. Evil and stupid? All of 'em
I'm afraid to even know. 😳
"it is a very well-settled matter of Christian theology, there’s something called the ‘just war’ doctrine."
Yes, it is, and it doesn't say what Holy Moses Johnson seems to think it says.
Most of what Holy Brother Johnson references doesn't mean what he thinks it says. Stunningly stupid, amoral, vicious bit of fermented plankton that he is.
Holy Brother: in the Bible, first edition, it sayeth: “And god came down and struck Republitard cretins off the face of his kingdom.”
He's a moron. Total ass kisser.
As much as we democracy loving liberals don't want to believe the depth of faith Trump's cultists have in his "who cares about democracy or an equitable melting pot society" ethos. America is all powerful therefore America can do whatever it wants, to whoever it wants, whenever it wants. Period. That's the Trump doctrine, pure and simple. Anything he says or does to promote American Dominance is AWESOME! (they firmly believe).
Hopefully, this is a small enough minority of Americans that we will win majority victories in the midterms. It will be a VERY noisy victory on both sides when we do.
Those 7-10 million Democrats who sat out the 2024 election to give us Trump had better show up in Nov.🙏
Rule #1 of governing: Do not quote the Bible and other religious texts to justify your actions.
Rule #2: If caught quoting scripture, immediately read the actual text to the cameras.
Rule #3: If your quoted text is wrong, resign immediately.
I wish Mamdami was my mayor.
I wish he was my president.
