Seems newsworthy to me when powerful government officials say unhinged and deranged things.

[–] NotJohnSmith@feddit.uk 13 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

She strikes me as someone who says controversial things to remain relevant.

Reminds me of one we had over here, I intentionally don't remember her name but like Piers Morgan but less relevant.

Always chuckle at went on TV saying she hates people calling their children after places.... and her daughter was called India.

She was a Qanon wine mom YouTuber prior to her political career, so yeah, you are 100% correct.

[–] Flemmy@lemm.ee 7 points 4 hours ago

American Christianity is weird to me. Cult like group rituals and yet it's my fault for noticing.

[–] PragmaticOne@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago

Wow what a speck of dust :/

[–] El_Azulito@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

Is she vile because she knows that we know that she’s a bleach blonde, bad-built butch body bitch? I mean, I’m down to go ad hoc too at this point. 💪

[–] Hikuro93@lemmy.world 15 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

If anything he was "rescued", or "promoted to headquarters" if you will. Because he was too good a man for these times ahead, and sadly had been getting weaker for a while. And the world is morally poorer for his departure.

I don't view the Vatican as the shining beacon of light it wants to be, but Pope Francis was a great Pope, who more than talking, walked the walk and lead by example. Loved by catholics and even people of other religions, as well as many atheists/agnostics. A unifying force of good.

Yet before he went he made sure his last big act was to admonish Vance and the Trump administration. Good on him.

He was gasp ... Nice to people sometimes?!

[–] RR321@lemmy.ca 8 points 7 hours ago

Did she misspell her name?

[–] WhatSay@slrpnk.net 48 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

If evil is being defeated, why is she still alive?

[–] Aedis@lemmy.world 6 points 11 hours ago

Because she is a different being than the being that was defeated.

She's still a little bitch.

[–] flandish@lemmy.world 115 points 13 hours ago (1 children)
[–] usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 34 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

She has neither the warmth or depth.

(I didn't come up with this)

[–] aido@lemmy.world 7 points 8 hours ago

So what she's saying is the JD Vance really did kill the pope?

[–] painfulasterisk1@lemmy.ml 11 points 9 hours ago

Because he spoke Spanish? Wow, that's racist.

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 30 points 11 hours ago

Quite tasteless but it is MTG.

[–] peteyestee@feddit.org 57 points 13 hours ago (4 children)

I wonder if there's a country or group of countries that will save Americans that are still decent human beings?

[–] smegger@aussie.zone 54 points 13 hours ago (3 children)

The way things are going, it's getting harder and harder to see the good in America. I know not everyone is like what we see in the news, but there's clearly enough to allow things to keep happening. I feel sorry for the regular people in America.

[–] OccultIconoclast@reddthat.com 1 points 4 hours ago

The revolution will not be televised

[–] WhiteRabbit@lemmy.today 18 points 13 hours ago

Yeah, I feel like I have to add in a disclaimer now whenever I tell someone I’m American. ‘Oh and btw Fuck Trump!’ lol

[–] natecox@programming.dev 6 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

It is a very slim minority of very loud people who are actually evil, who have inveigled a regrettably large number of people who are not necessarily evil but are short slighted and easily manipulated into acting against their own self interest.

Being an American does kinda suck these days though as a result.

[–] peteyestee@feddit.org 2 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

I never understand this view because most people I know are absent from any thought aside from consuming and materialistic escapism. Basically no one I know doesn't support trump.

Ignorance is evil. It doesn't take education to be a basic decent human being.

[–] limer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Having seen how the world treats Russian citizens, no.

But that is later, after things get worse. Fur now there are plenty of options for those who have money, or are brave, or talented or some combination. Everyone else here will suffer through it

[–] Treetrimmer@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I have no money or talent (according to the mainstream) so I guess I'll just got fuck myself

[–] limer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 9 hours ago

There are dozens of us, I’m thinking when it gets really bad I’ll start a twelve step support group on how to deal with the fallout

[–] Treetrimmer@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 hours ago

I'd love to know because I want to GTFO of here asap

I wonder what the Catholic Trumpers here in Louisiana will think of her saying that?

I'm gonna have to ask some.

[–] Supervisor194@lemmy.world 12 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Catholic Trumpers agree with her. They hated this pope.

[–] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Then they arent real catholics

[–] habitualcynic@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

This.

I’ve been Catholic all my life. How can you be Catholic but oppose the pope, one of the central parts of the religion? It means you don’t trust God’s judgment, therefore you lack faith, therefore you’re not Catholic.

Oh right, they don’t think.

[–] cyan_mess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 4 hours ago

As the old joke goes, "how do you call a Catholic that disagrees with the Pope? A Protestant".

[–] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Its always infuriating me when people "pick and choose" from religion. Either you take the whole deal or nothing. In this case, the pope, the direkt link and voice of god on earth. If you defy the pope, you defy god and say you know better.

I was raised catholic, and what made me leave was people like that, normal and priests of all levels. No you arent better just because you hold a spiritual position, no your "sinns" arent less evil, no god likes all people no matter their sexuality ethnicity gender identity aso otherwise he, to their own logic, wouldnt have created it!

My favorit joke is "so why did they kill jesus?" He said "be kind to another, help the poor, dont be greedy, love another, and spread love"

[–] habitualcynic@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Well said and I’m stealing that joke at the end lol

[–] Mirshe@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, the thing a lot of Catholics in America don't wanna look at is the fact that we very well might see another schism between American Catholicism and Roman Catholicism within our lifetimes, possibly within a decade. The American church has been drifting REALLY far from the RCC, and not in the good ways.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

Not just Catholics It's All American Christians. American Christianity is just moving extremely far away from its traditional roots, be that Catholic or Protestant or what have you. Of course I would argue the real Schism seems to be between Christians and Christ.

[–] Treetrimmer@sh.itjust.works 15 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Don't worry, cognitive dissonance will save them as usual

[–] projectsquared@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

You lost me at “cognitive”.

[–] azimir@lemmy.ml 21 points 13 hours ago

Georgia elects horrible people: news at 11 (but only the executive branch approved news agencies, everyone else has been locked out to preserve alternative fact distribution)

[–] griff@lemmings.world 13 points 13 hours ago

Marjorie Trailer Queen has spoken!!!

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 10 points 13 hours ago

She's a proper troglodyte. Almost identical to those clay caveman reconstructions you see.
