So Mayor Poops MisTaken said this about Trump’s rendition of the Pope;
To see this content posted from the official account of the White House, less than 2 weeks after the passing of Pope Francis, is incredibly distasteful. Decorum still matters in the public square, and everyone across the political spectrum should find this unacceptable.
While I commend him for trying to correct our president like he did before the election when he defended Haitians and their culinary preferences. But this is the same dude who gave Trump a B minus in his first term. But what irks me is it took making fun of a religious leader to get you to budge?! Really!? What the H’ck is wrong with you?! And while I agree it was a horrible thing to do, it was clearly satire. Even Worm infested Sally Tomato knew this was satire.
But why not call him out when he sexually assaulted women? Or when he bankrupt folks? Or when he mistreats minorities in blatant racist rants? Or when he cheats on his current wife with a pornstar? I guess those things are NOT a redline for you? But, boy, when he mocks a Christian leader, I better say something. Gawd Blez Yah. Paul, we both know you voted for Trump, twice. Don’t think you are going to change him. That ship sailed with his waistline years ago. I know you EvenJelloLickers look at Sally as your special project, but once an atheist always an atheist. That is what he is, and you know it, you just don’t want to accept it. As for abortion, if he wasn’t the Republican candidate for president he would have put Misoprostol vending machines on every street corner of every major city in this country.
Distasteful? More like dismal.
It’s even worse. I think it was a B+.
These are very strange times, indeed.
Like Rome, Trumpism was not built in a day, and like Rome, Trump’s political antics or political antiquities will not disappear quickly, but rather will sadly continue to penetrate the fiber of our country like a true and lasting Jim Crow stain, and primarily because we do not live in a time of courage, but rather discourage, or rather discouraged from the inadequacies of many of our current political leaders today to stand up to Trump and not stand next to him.
I believe it was the fall of ’15, when Trump and Pope Francis got into a Twitter battle, with the Pope then relinquishing. Let’s when I knew Trump would be the nominee and the next president. This took place during the same period when Trump bragged about shooting someone on 5th Avenue and not losing any supporters, and after Trump had talked about Megyn Kelly and bleeding during a presidential debate, and then there was a question as to whether John McCain was an authentic hero by Trump, the bone spurs sufferer, as well.
The madness of Trump has made our political system mad. Being offended by the Pope Trump picture is understandable, but as this post points out, there is so much more to be mad about when it comes to Trump.
Trump is an embarrassment. Every day is like a Thanksgiving dinner with that one uncle. This Pope Trump picture screams for a 25th Amendment solvency, but as long as he has his Playmate cabinet, well, that will never happen.
JFK once gave a speech to protestant clergy in Houston to state that the Pope would not be controlling him. Now, sixty-plus years later, we have a president who jokes about being the Pope and is in power due to a constituency that has historically not only not liked people of color, or Jews, but also Catholics. This contradiction speaks to the further madness of our times, where a political leader, who divides, discriminates, and promotes hate directly and indirectly, has been given carte blanche by too many of our American citizenry and its leadership through their past tolerance or indifference to Trump’s multitude of obnixous comments and acts, which some in the religious community have had the audacity to shrug off in the recent past as merely a mulligan or two….. Imagine that……
( and Woodstock adds: “Say, does anyone know if the College of Cardinals has their own Electoral College?…. Because if so, then we might be in trouble…. If you know what I mean” ….

poops voted for trump three times, not twice.
I’m not sure if any of them are still alive, but there once were people in Yorba Linda, California, who voted for Nixon nine times.
….. Shxt happens…….
“I’m so excited for this new conclave”…. “This is more exciting than the Olympics”….. “I’ve submitted my name, but no email back from them, yet”….. “AND, like most job application cover letters, I’ve admitted that I’m willing to relocate and convert”….. “In fact, I told them that I was very down to earth and willing to take the name of something like Pope Pig-Pen”….
