The election of pro-democracy and pro-Europe Peter Magyar is like if we elected a guy name “Johnny America,” as Magyar is what Hungarians call their country. I find this really, really cool, and also a little extra “fuck you” Orban and his autocratic allies. ---

Trump is now rage-tweeting at the Pope as if he thinks he needs to win a primary next month.

The Catholics cannot be happy with these attacks on the Pope. Even though I am no longer religious, it makes me angry as someone who was raised in this religion. And this photo? The crazy is simply exhausting. ---

I am so torn about this latest hilarity. I am no fan of any pope. Sure this guy seems to actually spout the good things about Christianity, but he’s still the leader of the biggest child molesting cabal this planet has ever seen. I don’t forgive and forget so easily. So basically, I’m watching these MAGA dopes - with their crosses around their necks, and their ten commandments in schools, and their God bless every frickin’ thing the trip across - gearing up to go to war against the very thing they claim to be … and laughing my balls off. ---

So… can the Pope excommunicate someone who isn’t Catholic? Or are we just gonna have to settle for JD Vance being denied the blessed sacraments? ---

If I recall from my earlier Catholic years a non Catholic cannot be excommunicated. As for the Vance issue, I have no idea. I have not been a practicing Catholic for many, many years. ---

He likes crime I guess. We don’t like a pope who says it’s ok to have a nuclear weapon. We don’t want a pope that says crime is ok. I am not a fan of Pope Leo. He seems to think being Pope is like being the mayor of Terre Haute, IN or something. ---
