Photographer now has a one-way ticket to El Salvador.

Genius!

😂 😂 😂

Well they certainly aren't going to want another Jesuit, with their compassion and social conscience. A nice, regressive, immigrant-loathing, LGBT-hating, wrath of God, pope is definitely on their wish list.

I don't think apologies are in her repertoire.

OK. Probably sighing, then. With a side of

Well that wasn't weird at all.👾

Nah. She'll pull out her "I really don't care do U?" jacket from the back of the closet.

Hasn't she been deported yet?

Brilliant!!
I bet they feature on the next episode of Have I Got News For You 😁

The WSJ article mentions so many corrupt awards of $$$$$$$$$ contracts. Keep on coordinating the protests, 50501!

Definitely not. No one knows what happens during the voting process, just the process itself. It's fiction with some true, already known details, such as sealing the dead Pope's room with red ribbon.

Maybe it's prophetic..... let's hope so.

I find it hilarious that Vance seems to believe he's a Christian but to find he's RC is the icing on the cake. I live in a world when I feel a bit sorry for God. He gets all the best people. I'd have more faith if a bit of justifiable smiting took place every so often.

Not just that. He's a convert, which means he'll have gone through a RCIA course. He can't have been paying much attention. Maybe he was at the back with his phone, posting secrets on Signal.

Ooh. Now why does Vince being a convert not surprise me?

He does seem very... easily swayed to new moralities and household gods.

Kindly put, PerkingFaintly. Good of you to not describe him as gullible, grasping and lacking in intellectual rigour of any kind with morality so flexible he must have an inner core of plastic.

He’s probably paid as much attention to it as JRM ever paid to the section of the catechism on social justice.

As my aunt would say, a weak reed.

The US has imposed tariffs of 3,521% on solar panel imports from Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Thailand.

🙄

Is it April Fools Day? Honestly, the world's gone mad

I didn't sleep well last night so read that last comment as "...and household goods."

I pictured him deep in prayer to a food mixer. 😇🤦🏻‍♀️

Is that a typo?

Don't give him ideas! He'll be onto the next one before you can say Moulinex!

I understand (but will stand corrected by Americans on here) that a 'proper' American used to be a WASP, ie, White Anglo-Saxon Protestant, the election of JFK as president was a big deal because he was a Catholic. The fact that a Catholic like Vance is in the vanguard of American nationalism shows how things have changed*

The Supreme Court is stuffed (over half) with Catholics and it's clearly been a deliberate thing. Scary if you think women's rights are important.
