Pope weak on crime just killed me
GENUINELY the village idiot is the ruler of the world. It’s straight up like from some medieval Arabian folk tale or some shit
Can someone help give Humpty Dumpty a push off the ledge?
This brings me to what is for my money the funniest part of this whole not-actually-funny thing: a sentence from the journalist Peter Baker’s New York Times article about the question of Trump’s brain. (Emphasis mine.)
While the country has had presidents whose capacity came under question before, most recently the octogenarian Joseph R. Biden Jr. as he aged demonstrably before the public’s eyes, never in modern times has the stability of a president been so publicly and forensically debated—and with such profound consequences.
As the New Yorker has its famed two-step, this is a classic Timesmaneuver: carefully sidestepping the tricky commitments of describing reality—What if somebody suspects that I think things???—and reporting only that people have opinions. “Forensically debated”! Signs and wonders.
Ah yes, truly that is the news. Not that Donald Trump is demented and out of touch with reality; nor that by absolutely any definition of “stability” he is at best mid-collapse right now; nor that multiple times per day, he says and does things that are plainly and utterly disqualifying in the position he holds. The story is that people are debating whether any of that is true.
it’ll get worse before it gets better (if ever). honestly i’m surprised they’re not just printing “everything trump says and does is correct, true, righteous and divine, while anything anyone else does or says should be considered fake news until trump says otherwise”
I’m not Catholic, but you know he’s an apolitical religious leader, not in charge of any crime-fighting group, right!?
Well, he is an head of state as well…
he’s an apolitical religious leader
He’s literally the absolute monarch of a theocratic state.
He’s the Pope, not Batman, dumbass
I remember when the popes used to wear spandex and whip around rooftops and kill demons. They are soft now.
Why have a popemobile if you’re not going to skid it into a crime scene and throw some cross shaped scabbards at some sinning motherfuckers? It’s a waste.
Maybe he does? The Vatican is pretty clean and crime-free…
I’ve never seen him nor batman in the same room, but I’ve also never seen Batman kill people and rape children either
Batman killed a bunch of henchmen. He just didn’t kill the person ordering them around. Which is on par with him being a billionaire.
🤔
A little while after deleting the post from his social account, Trump staged a press event at the White House in which he had two bags of McDonald’s food delivered to him by a lady wearing a red T-shirt with the words “Doordash Grandma” on the front. Look man, all I can do is describe these things. I am not responsible for the world being like this.
They staged this stunt to promote ‘no tax on tips’. Which is what everyone is all interested to discuss obviously. Why “grandma” is next to a company logo on the press conference (i mean, Tesla, yeah obvs but doordash?) . . . Unknown.
