Vatican waits for white smoke

[Lirefighter]

I was just wondering what would have happened if a Democrat President had posted a photo of himself dressed as the Pope. The Republicans always like to whip up stupid stuff into a massive controversy with fake outrage. J D Vance is particularly good at doing this. The beige suit was the classic one under Obama. Also, they had a meltdown when Obama asked for Dijon mustard rather than American mustard on his hot dog.

The former president made a beige splash in a world dominated by dark and grey garb.

You couldn't make it up...
I bet Obamas response to the 'scandal' was not patch on the Don's.
You must surely admit that the nonchalant manner in which he dismisses the dross fired at him from the press pool is rather refreshing?
Surely!

I am fascinated by Trump and would love to meet him. I find his manner unique. But I don't find it refreshing. Essentially, he lies almost continuously. He is one of the greatest ever propagandists.

I suppose you could call it propagandizing, although I don't think his intentions are negative in any way, or nefarious.
He's a showman, he wants to entertain his audience, and yes, he exaggerates everything, but that is not the same a lying.
Not really.
If he's being serious you can tell.

You've got to love Trump.

His address at 4pm today about the UK trade deal among other things showed him at his best, Mandelson showed respect, I think they'll get on.

Donald Trump gushes over British ambassador’s ‘beautiful accent’ during trade deal announcement

Donald Trump praised British ambassador Lord Peter Mandelson's "beautiful accent" as the pair met in the White House as a UK-US trade deal was announced on Thursday, 8 May. The US president and Sir Keir Starmer formally announced a deal, with Mr Trump adding that the “final details” of the...

One of the president’s most prominent Catholic allies, Steve Bannon, called Leo the “worst pick for MAGA Catholics,” deeming him the “anti-Trump pope.” “This is an anti-Trump vote by the globalists that run the Curia — this is the pope Bergoglio and his clique wanted,” said Bannon...@ Politico

An interesting take on the new pontiff who may be just the guy to reign in the worst impulses of the MAGA mob infesting the world with their madness.

Apparently the new Holy Father has a degree in mathematics, so not only does he understand Sin, he understands Cos as well.

Live from Stamford, have re form missed a trick? People pay good money to see her perform, who pays to watch a politician?

This was in the gutter when Carnie came visiting in Oval Office.
There were times when one could almost imagine what Carnie was thinking when Trump was rambling on about nothing in particular
New pope and Pope Trump, wonder how that is going to play out

 

[noseall]

That's what I like about the don.

Oh Lordy,

He's not a politician.

No. He's a rip off merchant, a rapist, a convicted felon, a misogynist, shags prostitutes and is an adulterer.

What's not to like, if you are a low intelligence RWR?

 

[noseall]

He is just a normal bloke. You see bad in everyone, your problem nobody elses.

My moral compass says liars, cheats, adulterers, fraudsters, rapists, convicted criminals, misogynists and ego driven racists - are not the best role models, no.
I'm happy to have that 'problem' ta.

There’s no evidence it happened

Precisely.
The existence of the (stolen) diary, and it belonging to Biden's daughter has been authenticated. She wrote to the court to attest to that.
The contents of that diary have never been authenticated, nor has the contents been authenticated as being factual.

The alleged contents were published by a right wing organisation during the election.

a month before the November 2020 U.S. presidential election, a right-wing blog named The National File published what it claimed was "a copy of the complete diary of Ashley Blazer Biden,

You've been plssed since 2016

Right wing populism has been destroying the U.K. since 2016, no wonder decent folk are pizzed off

Sadly this country has too many easily led fools who can’t see they are being duped by Farage.
