I'm a Catholic and if I weren't so lazy on Sunday, I'd be right back at Mass!
My kids are Jesuit educated - social justice is part of the package, as if faith, and doing for others all for the greater glory of God...DOING is part of it, not just saying
Holy Mother Church and I haven't been on speaking terms for close to 50 years, but I'm a big fan of Pope Bob. (The fact that he's a White Sox fan is a big plus.)
It's not enough to get me to return to the fold, but still...
Let's give THREE CHEERS to one of Jeff's "greatest posts of all time" His GOAT POST.
IMO, 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 our equitable melting pot society". Trump thinks America is all powerful therefore He can do whatever he wants, to whoever he wants, whenever he wants. Period. That's the Trump doctrine, pure and simple. The CULT believes that Everything he says or does to promote American Dominance is AWESOME! It's proof of their concept of America's Divine Omnipotence. In that view, the POPE is just a low level religious functionary.
Hopefully, the the MAGA CULT is a small enough minority of Americans that we will win hugh 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 and help overwhelm MAGA🙏
Praying on behalf of my fellow citizens north of the 49th that your votes for Dems will bring a rapid invocation of the 25 Amendment and the US and the world will be rid of the Ignoramus in Chief.
I get tired of correcting this, but you're from Canada so you have an excuse for not knowing this. The 25th amendment would have to be invoked by Vance and a majority of the Cabinet. Not going to happen regardless of the midterm elections.
Oh, and on behalf of the majority of sane Americans, let me apologize to you and your fellow citizens for the absolutely shameful way you've been treated by Trump. One of the top priorities of the next president will be to try to make amends and re-establish the historic friendship between our two nations.
Thank you for your response. As an FYI, a lot of Canadians are familiar with your Constitution, including Article 25. And so to assume that I know nothing about the 25th or any other Amendments for that matter is disparaging to those us who are well acquainted not only with the US Constitution but constitutions of other countries as well. I would add that my father was born to a Canadian mother and American father, thus bestowing upon him American citizenship. It was renounced when he elected to serve in the Canadian Army.
Trump in my opinion doesn’t think America is all powerful, he thinks the office of the presidency is all powerful. Which means he being the president is all powerful. And he believes he can do or say whatever he wishes to do or say. He says so constantly. And of course SCOTUS has given him full rein. Full permission.
dumpy, hegsbreath and covenant eyes believe they have been endowed with the power to smite people. Is that even a thing anymore? If so, I'd like to know who endowed them with that and who do you beg to for that power. Asking for a friend that has a list for some smiting.
That old black magic that they know so well--Ancient devil whispers what they want to hear--their conscience seared --It's God who smites the demons fall --It's sure past time in history's rebound to sound the silence of peace come round--and echo in the stratosphere. thanks be to the Pope may he continue to put that maggot down and smite him with the Word of God! as his his calling....sorry I'm on my soapbox
Yes, I do hope they stop demanding the impossible sparkle ponies of their dreams and show up to vote against Fascism (R) this time. No, they are not all Democrats, but they should show up anyway! Vote D for Drive, not R for Reverse, okay kids?
if you want to feel coffee spew out your nose mid-cup, read the following while taking a sip: “you know what a corner store is, you brain-dead asshole. it’s where you go to buy corners.” 🤓
I watched The Thick of It years ago via (illegal?) Bit Torrent. Superb--and I don't care all that much about British politics. You of course enjoyed Capaldi as Tucker in In the Loop, too--especially when he asks James Gandolfini's Army general, "Have you ever actually killed anyone? And falling asleep on them doesn't count."
Malcolm Nance explained that the SOH is open but you still need to be guided through by Iranian Guards, etc... so what do the insurance companies say?
He also explained that Trump has said he can seize Iranian oil on tankers anywhere and claim it like he did with Venezuela. According to Malcolm he does not believe Iran agreed to that, but then they can stop delivering oil at all by ship, and India can come get it by land.
The guy who writes about What's Going on with Shipping is explaining how it is not good that ships are going to the US. The fuel prices are still going up here because we sell our fuel on the open market and the highest bidders already got it, so it is going to cost.
There is another guy explaining about how the Oil Tankers going to the US are not good news for us as well. Mr. Global is explaining why the oil tankers coming to the US and that it is not good for the US. https://youtu.be/QYFS3XdXhgg?si=2B_K1tPVV8nycGqi
Trump and all of his people are not reliable reporters of what is going on, and our media, sans any other sources of information, are not reliable reporters of anything other than, "Trump says..."
Jeff truly is a National Treasure. A real hero, like the Pope, in this age of cowards. #TheAgeOfMonsters
Jeff is to me like Vonnegut, and even better than Hunter S Thompson - "Fear & Loathing in tRump's America."
Jeff is perfect for this digital age, as his posts, with all the gifs & links, could not not translate effectively on the written page. He is beloved by his readers for good reason, and I absolutely rank him up there with those two, Vonnegut and Thompson.
I'll forever grateful for Jeff's awesome posts. Invaluable for processing this insanity.
And this….service members are not being fed properly because these morons who thought would be fun take on the Middle East caused the Strait to close supplies are not getting in. Are you kidding me? They’re eating spoiled foods and haven’t seen a piece broccoli in weeks, not to mention hygiene products are running out!!!! Please listen to Aaron Parnas’ news today. It’s appalling what our soldiers in uniform are enduring.
The deprivation and abuse endured by our service members (for what?) mirrors that suffered by Putin's troops in Ukraine. When Trump said "suckers and losers" he meant it. They're throw-away pawns, like the generals.
Yes. I read that sailors around the world trapped in there are not eating properly or getting enough water to drink or getting paid. 20,000 seafarers stranded according to this.
If they're having food logistics problems now, how in the fuck are they going to feed these guys in a land invasion? Maybe that's why Trump harps upon Hannibal Lector. Our boys are supposed to have the Iranians for dinner.
The USS Ford, the largest aircraft carrier, has had longstanding plumbing problems. Crew standing in long lines to use the head. Crew sleeping on tables. An engineering fire that took 2 days to extinguish. Our illustrious government chose to under build the sewage system on this ship. Why? I guess plumbing isn’t as sexy as weapons systems.
It's a very fucked-up Earth 2 on which I wait to hear what the Iranian spokesperson says to verify whatever gibberish was excreted from the White House.
Yes. All my detectors go into the red zone with Whiskey Pete. And sadly they do with Eric Swalwell too. I was hoping they might be defective with respect to Swalwell, but they have never failed me. Sadly.
Same here. Not terribly surprised, but my spidey senses were tingling too. He's definitely the guy who prompted someone to design and sell drink covers for women to carry when they go out. (And I love how offended the guy gets)
The oil slick on top of his head is what gets me. He's got a whole make-up studio and hair salon next to his Pentagon office--can't anyone advise him against pouring a bottle of Crisco over his head every morning?
I look at him and have the same reaction as when I'm walking a path in the woods and I realize that "red touch yellow" or I see the red hourglass or hear that buzzing rattle.......
The gospel of Tarantino. Good one. Can't wait for the pope to go medieval on their asses. Since I'm not a member of the Catholic tribe, I marvel at Donnie's rake stepping skills at insulting over a billion people's religion. Truly he is, his own worst enemy.
To me all organized religions are at least a little cultish. But this shows how stupid and egotistical this dumbass is to pick a fight with the Pope. He is everyone's worst enemy, including his own.
Woke at five, window cracked, pollen already on the tongue — what the body knew before the phone did was this: something hollow has been put in charge of something enormous. Jaw clenched since February. Not metaphor. Data.
A former White House lawyer went on cable Wednesday night and said what the Beltway has been miming for months. Ty Cobb — 75, Trump's own first-term counsel — told Ari Melber on MS NOW that the president displays "the classic symptoms of Alzheimer's," including sleep-wake reversal producing four-a.m. Truth Social screeds and cabinet-meeting naps.
I've also seen discussions that it's frontotemporal dementia. Hardly matters which, he is clearly exhibiting increasing cognitive impairment. Miller, et al, will keep him there as long as they can so they can keep running (ruining) things.
I've seen the progression of Alzheimer's close up in a family member, plus Trump's father had it so there's a genetic risk as well as behavioral risks. He violates all the rules of brain health - he's an obese rage-a-holic, who never exercises his body or mind, and apparently has a lousy diet. I've been saying it's Alzheimer's for some time. Now in the mid/late stager which means he truly can no longer differentiate reality from wishful thinking.
Jamie Raskin has proposed creating an independent commission to examine the capacity to discharge his duties of his office (sorry I don’t recall the proper terminology). It’s unlikely to pass the Rs, but the method is right in the Constitution.
Yes, and he's a Constitutional scholar. It's a legitimate response. But the point is that such a commission does not currently exist and so the only present method involves Vance and the Cabinet of sycophants and buffoons.
I wonder what it's like to wake up and just enjoy your day? I remember a time, just over ten years ago, when we enjoyed a simpler time, still recovering from the Great Recession, yet things were on a steady upswing. Yes, those were the days. We deserved better times!
Then suddenly, the orange slug oozed down his golden escalator and the experience was like hearing a record player's arm scratch across your favorite vinyl record. Life as we knew came to a complete stop, and silence was forever broken in our land by his droning voice and the monotonous stupidity he spewed forth to anyone forced to listen. Not long after, in between bouts of swearing and railing against his very existence that I began sighing with exhaustion. Often. Most days. And I've been sighing ever since.
Remember - the Republitards opposing him as Prez candidates were a weak bunch who all collapsed when the Orange Turd started his racist; misogynistic , bullcrap.
Specifically, he said that all black children are on psych drugs, all should be taken from their parents and institutionalized ("re-parented"). Somehow, white kids on the same drugs should stay with their white parents. Given the substances he put in his body and up his nose, and the fact his dad was assassinated, maybe this all comes from the parenting he didn't get.
I remember a few years ago, trump was walking past people to attend a rally. He was just past a cult member who waved her hand at her face like she was having a hot flash. My God, she must have something REALLY WRONG with her to feel attracted to this steaming POS.
I am not a religious person - I don't belong to any faith, but here I am agreeing with the Pope. I'm also a life-long Democrat, but here I am agreeing with MTG. The world is truly out of whack.
P.S. I'm waiting for Kegstand to quote from the Book of Armaments from "Month Python and the Holy Grail".
Mary Trump suggested his speech was generated by ChatGPT because he's a stupid lazy fuck. I would have LOVED to have been in the room with Samuel L. Jackson when he found out Pastor Pete ripped off his homicidal sermon from Pulp Fiction. "That mothafucka."
Here in NC, we have the Rev. William Barber speaking out against the trump travesty. But it is fantastic to have an international leader sticking it to the felon/pedo/war-profiteer/etc,etc.etc.
I've generally no use for religion.....but Rev. Barber is the real deal, and he sure has had no use for Demento from the first moment. Pope Chicago appears to be of the same ilk.
Expecting Fox jabbering liars to know what they are talking about, even their professed doctrinal source material like the Bible, is futile. But luckily for them, their brain dead and bullshit-consuming audience does not know or care.
"ALL CONTENT AND OPINIONS EXPRESSED ARE COMPLETELY MADE UP AND OFTEN DOWNRIGHT DELUSIONAL IN ORDER TO CONTROL YOUR THOUGHTS AND EMOTIONS. HAVE A GREAT DAY!"
Like the disclaimers they rush through on pharmaceutical ads.
"May cause death or brain damage. Do not take if you're allergic to it. Side effects may include heart attacks, explosive diarrhea, and severe hemorrhaging. Speak to your doctor if your brain starts pouring out of your ears."
Pope Leo really walked in like, “I know some of you were hoping to rent Jesus out as a Pentagon mascot, but absolutely not.” And watching the usual Fox sermonettes melt down because the Pope used Christianity for something outrageous like peace, mercy, and not turning God into a war brand has been deeply satisfying. Nothing rattles the faux-holy crowd faster than an actual Christian sounding too much like Jesus.
thank you for attending my Ted Talk in 'how to write a clickbaity headline'
I am so glad you wrote about Trump’s stupid feud with Pope Leo. We Chicagoans are so proud of da Pope, we’re practically busting our buttons
I'm an atheist or agnostic but the pope makes me want to convert to Catholicism. Finally, a religious leader who is truly decent. Bravo.
I'm a Catholic and if I weren't so lazy on Sunday, I'd be right back at Mass!
My kids are Jesuit educated - social justice is part of the package, as if faith, and doing for others all for the greater glory of God...DOING is part of it, not just saying
However. They won’t ordain women and are against abortion. But his morality is consistent.
Holy Mother Church and I haven't been on speaking terms for close to 50 years, but I'm a big fan of Pope Bob. (The fact that he's a White Sox fan is a big plus.)
It's not enough to get me to return to the fold, but still...
Same.
Born into the web of Catholicism, I became an atheist after an attending catholic school Arne see your point.
Let's give THREE CHEERS to one of Jeff's "greatest posts of all time" His GOAT POST.

The ironic part is that the CULT has actually made is less prestigious, less proud, and far less admirable than we were even 4 years ago.
Here's hoping there are enough engaged non cultists to turn this around.
Praying on behalf of my fellow citizens north of the 49th that your votes for Dems will bring a rapid invocation of the 25 Amendment and the US and the world will be rid of the Ignoramus in Chief.

No disparagement meant, but your post implied you didn't know how the 25th worked. There will be no "rapid invocation" of it.

Pope Bob — that’s a “keeper” as my beloved father to say when we caught a good one…he’s a good one. Chicagoans should be proud!
There's no "feud." Trump is whining and bitching. The Pope is treating him like a gnat buzzing by his ear.
It was very well-done!
You do it better than I do jeff.

today in Shit That Happened While I Was Busy Writing This Shit
"Iran Declares Strait ‘Open’ After Lebanon Deal, but Trump Says U.S. Blockade Continues"
so now it's DONNY's fault that the strait is closed, or what? I can't keep up
https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/04/17/world/iran-us-war-trump
Now it's Iran's turn to fuck with the stock market. I'm sure Donnie and his cronies didn't have time to short oil this time.
Oil is going up. I hope all the regime crooks who went short take a beating big time
Late breaking update:
Iran opened the Strait
OIl prices plunged
Stocks went up too
And what does America's Idiot do?
He asserts the US blockade will remain in place
Another pointless flex
So he can save face
He crowed "Our transaction with Iran is 100% complete"
Wow, Strong Leader, that's quite a feat
But just what is this transaction
And what does it mean?
Nobody knows.
It's more BS from the BS machine
A never ending supply....
just another war crime.
All I saw was bent crude tumbles to $90 a barrel.
As usual he continues to fuck things up through his inimitable blend of stupidity and malfeasance.

You have toys being in charge of our military. Can’t help but think of “Chuckie” being in charge.
If they're having food logistics problems now, how in the fuck are they going to feed these guys in a land invasion? Maybe that's why Trump harps upon Hannibal Lector. Our boys are supposed to have the Iranians for dinner.
Prob not a popular or accurate scenario of what might happen. 🤮🤮🤮
The USS Ford, the largest aircraft carrier, has had longstanding plumbing problems. Crew standing in long lines to use the head. Crew sleeping on tables. An engineering fire that took 2 days to extinguish. Our illustrious government chose to under build the sewage system on this ship. Why? I guess plumbing isn’t as sexy as weapons systems.
Sympathies but I would consider not seeing a piece of broccoli in weeks a plus.
If Malcolm, the Pope and Jeff are all on the same side
🤔 shite now I can’t stop thinking what if Malcolm, the Pope and Jeff walked into a bar…
😂
That’s it in a nutshell, Linda Weide!
“. . . our media, sans any other sources of information, are not reliable reporters of anything other than, ‘Trump says’. . .”
It's a very fucked-up Earth 2 on which I wait to hear what the Iranian spokesperson says to verify whatever gibberish was excreted from the White House.
G'mornin' Linda. What a day to be al.....a.....a..pissed off!
He just wants a cut of the toll Iran has decided charge ships coming thru the Strait.
Coulda sworn biBI said he was calling the shots
Yeah…I’m getting dizzy!
Just what I was going to say. 😵💫
It's now the Strait of Schrödinger.
Good gawd! Dull Donnie's so out it, he's like, 'Well, if nobody else will step on my dick, I'll do it myself!!'
Now the peace president is claiming credit for ending a tenth war - the one he started. I hate that guy.
smh
Well let’s just wait and see what gets posted Monday at 6:30 am. My guess is we are about to switch back to tariffs to manipulate the market
What is it about Pete Hegseth that triggers my gag reflex every time I see his photo?
Everything
Because women recognize the type. They are a genre all their own. Toxic.
Yes. All my detectors go into the red zone with Whiskey Pete. And sadly they do with Eric Swalwell too. I was hoping they might be defective with respect to Swalwell, but they have never failed me. Sadly.
I'm still sad/mad about Swalwell. Now I guess I'll vote for Steyer. At least he cares about the earth.
Same here. Not terribly surprised, but my spidey senses were tingling too. He's definitely the guy who prompted someone to design and sell drink covers for women to carry when they go out. (And I love how offended the guy gets)
Don't know about you but unctuous sexual predators repel me
Gag reflex because a steaming POS is actually talking.
😂😂😂
For me, it's his belligerent, glowering scowl set off by his carefully constructed oily coif.
The oil slick on top of his head is what gets me. He's got a whole make-up studio and hair salon next to his Pentagon office--can't anyone advise him against pouring a bottle of Crisco over his head every morning?
You're a decent human being responding to poison.
I look at him and have the same reaction as when I'm walking a path in the woods and I realize that "red touch yellow" or I see the red hourglass or hear that buzzing rattle.......
Drunk-ass dudebro, the type going "Whoooooooo!" in a bar, and you know nothing good can possibly come from being in proximity to him.
He has resting mean girl bitch face.
Nasty ...
He’s a disgusting pig! Hope the war tribunals get him!
He has that look about him of "I'm going to attack you."
If you're gonna fuck with the Pope
Then you're a dumbass, a dimbulb, a dope
'Cause da Pope always wins
And you and your sins
Can run in a highway, ya mope.
Booze loving Hegseth had best lay off the vino
It led him to quote the Gospel of Tarantino
His Deus Vult
Is a death-loving cult
And he's an insecure bambino
The gospel of Tarantino. Good one. Can't wait for the pope to go medieval on their asses. Since I'm not a member of the Catholic tribe, I marvel at Donnie's rake stepping skills at insulting over a billion people's religion. Truly he is, his own worst enemy.
To me all organized religions are at least a little cultish. But this shows how stupid and egotistical this dumbass is to pick a fight with the Pope. He is everyone's worst enemy, including his own.
Woke at five, window cracked, pollen already on the tongue — what the body knew before the phone did was this: something hollow has been put in charge of something enormous. Jaw clenched since February. Not metaphor. Data.

That is enough for me.

Time to 25th this motherfucker outta that seat.
I've also seen discussions that it's frontotemporal dementia. Hardly matters which, he is clearly exhibiting increasing cognitive impairment. Miller, et al, will keep him there as long as they can so they can keep running (ruining) things.
Not if the Dems can take both houses in November. Articles of impeachment have already been prepared.
From your lips to the goddess's ears! My local Indivisible group is turning our energy to helping Dem campaigns in the coming months.
I've seen the progression of Alzheimer's close up in a family member, plus Trump's father had it so there's a genetic risk as well as behavioral risks. He violates all the rules of brain health - he's an obese rage-a-holic, who never exercises his body or mind, and apparently has a lousy diet. I've been saying it's Alzheimer's for some time. Now in the mid/late stager which means he truly can no longer differentiate reality from wishful thinking.
I heard that segment yesterday with Ari. Nice to see Ty Cobb come over to the honest side as opposed to what he was involved with previously.
You saw that Eastman was disbarred right ?
Since the 25th requires the action of Vance and a majority of the Cabinet, how do you propose to do that?
Jamie Raskin has proposed creating an independent commission to examine the capacity to discharge his duties of his office (sorry I don’t recall the proper terminology). It’s unlikely to pass the Rs, but the method is right in the Constitution.
Yes, and he's a Constitutional scholar. It's a legitimate response. But the point is that such a commission does not currently exist and so the only present method involves Vance and the Cabinet of sycophants and buffoons.

Wow. Beautifully stated captioning of our collective sadness. You nailed it. Sigh. 💔🇺🇸
Remember - the Republitards opposing him as Prez candidates were a weak bunch who all collapsed when the Orange Turd started his racist; misogynistic , bullcrap.
Me too, girl, me too.
And when you run out of shit to report on Trump and Iran, Jeff, there’s always the story about RFK “measles” Jr. saying two years ago that black children on ADHD drugs should be re-parented. Nothing racist here. https://www.cnn.com/2026/04/16/health/video/terri-sewell-presses-rfk-black-kids-adhd-howard-digvid
Holy shit. In any other administration, that would be front page news and he would be shown the door.
Yeah, well he has his magical racoon penis so they cannot harm him. He will smite them with it and they will cower in fear.
Where as, this isn’t an “administration” - more like
15 clowns stuffed in a VW Bug.
Specifically, he said that all black children are on psych drugs, all should be taken from their parents and institutionalized ("re-parented"). Somehow, white kids on the same drugs should stay with their white parents. Given the substances he put in his body and up his nose, and the fact his dad was assassinated, maybe this all comes from the parenting he didn't get.
This entire administration is staffed by living examples from the Abnormal Psychology textbook. There's not a single normal person in there.
True. Even the alleged "adults in the room" like Rubio and Bessent are defective.
Every damn Republitard is defective!
But wait, there's more! Man who audibly shits in his pants on camera is "embarrassed" by the DoorDash stunt.
hahahahahah
Oh but his ‘tacky’ remarks got chuckles from the crowd… srsly HE CAN DO NO WRONG 😒
I remember a few years ago, trump was walking past people to attend a rally. He was just past a cult member who waved her hand at her face like she was having a hot flash. My God, she must have something REALLY WRONG with her to feel attracted to this steaming POS.
Maybe she was fanning away the stink.
Haha!!! Maybe!!! 😆 💩
I am not a religious person - I don't belong to any faith, but here I am agreeing with the Pope. I'm also a life-long Democrat, but here I am agreeing with MTG. The world is truly out of whack.
P.S. I'm waiting for Kegstand to quote from the Book of Armaments from "Month Python and the Holy Grail".
Kegs got WAY too much airtime for his Pope Fiction thingy…
Srry he reminds me of the kid who automatically forces a cheesy smile for the camera - ANY CAMERA
Just gonna pile on w/a hearty Sea Shanty 🙄

I can't help but wonder if there was resistance from behind. Was Kegsbreath trolled by an unknown speech writer? The very thought makes me smile.
Mary Trump suggested his speech was generated by ChatGPT because he's a stupid lazy fuck. I would have LOVED to have been in the room with Samuel L. Jackson when he found out Pastor Pete ripped off his homicidal sermon from Pulp Fiction. "That mothafucka."
I might actually like him for that . . . Nope. Nothing can save him from my utter contempt, not even quoting Monty Python.
Sometimes a worse evil unites all honest people.

Thank you for the Peter Capaldi Star Wars bit. I needed that. :-)
Perfect (human) antidote to a week full of AI slop thank you
Here in NC, we have the Rev. William Barber speaking out against the trump travesty. But it is fantastic to have an international leader sticking it to the felon/pedo/war-profiteer/etc,etc.etc.
AND HE NEVER MENTIONS HIM BY NAME! THAT’S THE BEST PART
I've generally no use for religion.....but Rev. Barber is the real deal, and he sure has had no use for Demento from the first moment. Pope Chicago appears to be of the same ilk.
So, who is nominating Pope Leo for the Nobel Peace prize??
Hard to convey just how crazy all this is, but you do a masterful job.
Jeff gets 5 FKN 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 for CONSISTENCY‼️ it’s really amazing
In one of his TS posts the idiot referred to HezBOOlah.
He's such a fucking moron.
The breadth of his ignorance is truly stunning. Remember how he pronounced Yoze-might?
Expecting Fox jabbering liars to know what they are talking about, even their professed doctrinal source material like the Bible, is futile. But luckily for them, their brain dead and bullshit-consuming audience does not know or care.
Remember Doc, in court FAUX attorneys said it should not be called news, it should be FAUX Entertainment…
Yes. And that admission, which would be a damning one in a sane arena, went unnoticed by the outrage-addicted dummies who watch Faux
IT SHOULD BE A REQUIRED CHYRON THAT RUNS THROUGHOUT THE SHOW

smaller words, Doc!? 😝
Oh, right. Something appropriate for the capacity of their audience. This one I saw years ago; "WE LIE. YOU COMPLY"
HahaHA‼️
Pope Leo really walked in like, “I know some of you were hoping to rent Jesus out as a Pentagon mascot, but absolutely not.” And watching the usual Fox sermonettes melt down because the Pope used Christianity for something outrageous like peace, mercy, and not turning God into a war brand has been deeply satisfying. Nothing rattles the faux-holy crowd faster than an actual Christian sounding too much like Jesus.
A Pentagon Mascot! That’s exactly what they do!!! He’s just part of the programming, a useful ad spot, a logo. You nailed it again, VMB! 👏🏻💜👏🏻💜👏🏻
