Idiotam habemus - Trumpum the Bigly XXX - Trump thread #143

[Spandauer]

No grey smoke necessary.

First 100 days have come and gone. Vance has killed the Pope, Musk is melting away and Trump's tariffs are on a slow boat to China.

Coming soon... Bigly's Birthday Parade. What could possibly go wrong?

@MrTiddlesTheCat 13k tonnes of prime British beef could be worth four times+ the value of 13k tonnes of US mince.

Oh I can imagine he was his personal choice, despite that fact he appears to be far more moderate than the orange one.

Can't wait to see his Truth Social 'statement'. I'm sure it'll end up in gibberish about having won the election. It's a WITCH HUNT!!!

Well, if it were a real Vatican witch hunt, at least we could look forward to Scrotus being burned at the stake.

The new pope focussed a lot on peace - I bet the orange guy now thinks they're on the same page! He will be disappointed when he realises the Pope's truth is actually very different to his own ...

Born in Peru and a naturalised US citizen, I believe. From Chicago and had done extensive missionary work in Peru.

Ed - sorry got that wrong born in Chicago but also has Peruvian citizenship.

The real question being, Cubs or White Sox?

Aww, it appears BBC got it wrong! I had the notification to say he was going to be known as “Leon” and was hoping we could refer to him as the Anti-Musk!

Trump says it's an honour.
French father, Italian mother - Trump wouldn't let him be born in the US and take citizenship nowadays!
I heard it said they don't go for US popes as it means too much power is in one country but because he's also a Peruvian citizen and his parents were other nationalities then this wasn't so much a concern - personally thinking they realised he's so different to the orange one there wouldn't be consolidated power!

Dodgers 😜

Mets.
Although DH is a BlueJays fan.

Mets, eh? Well, that's better than being a Yankees fan!

😆

I think Leon is the Latin and Leo the anglicised version.

Apparently Leo does (did?) social media and has taken Vance to task previously.

Maga Laura Loomer is taking it well, "woke marxist pope"

Ha ha Loomer is totally melting down on Twitter. That’s good enough for me.

There’s no chance it’s incidental that they’ve selected a pope who has been critical of Trump in the past. These things are never accidental.

I used to work in a supermarket. All beef sold in the UK should be traceable, every packet should have the cows ear tag printed on it. When we opened beef products to sell on the counter, we had to keep it's number in a log.

TRIP US have done an emergency pod on the new Pope. Just listening to it now.

Hilarious that MAGA world is in papal meltdown.

Apparently the answer is White Sox.

Although @JoshLymanSwagger I'm doling out a personal extra credit for your Mets answer.

MAGA are not happy. Excellent trolling by the Vatican here. Well played cardinals.

😂

@Wallaw He really should have been a St Louis 🐦 fan...

Hehehe...
I see what you did there, conclave!
