A meme of Trump riding a bicycle would be every bit as absurd as him reading a book.

[Lazzyyyyyy @em_Lazzy]

The fact we are going to have our first trillionaire before everyone has access to clean drinking water is proof our current system is not for the greater good but for the greedy.

Well... he's not wrong... 😅

This is excellent.

Congratulations to Sebastian Sawe for running the entire London Marathon in less time than it took Russell Brand to tell @piersmorgan his favourite Bible verse.

[Ian Smith, Sr. @iansmithfitness]

Sloppiest blowjob award goes to this fucking retard.

[Jeff Tiedrich @itsJeffTiedrich]

my favorite Bible story is probably the one where Jesus starts an unprovoked, unnecessary and illegal war, blows up a building full of schoolgirls, destabilizes the world's economy, tells the Pope to go fuck himself, and then jets off for a long weekend of golf at Galilee-a-Lago

Has anyone else been seeing these Dr. Trump ads nonstop on TV or is it just me?

The President of the United States, a man who controls approximately 5,500 nuclear warheads, went on social media on a Sunday night to inform the world that the Pope is weak on foreign policy. The Pope. The man in the white robes who spends his days asking people to be kind to each other.

Trump’s complaint, delivered with the subtlety of a concrete mixer reversing into a garden party, was that he doesn’t want a pope “who thinks it’s OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon.” 
One pauses here to consider the geography of this argument. Because from Lagos to Lahore, from Buenos Aires to Bangkok, there are rather a lot of people who have spent the last several decades looking at the United States, its history of regime changes, its aircraft carriers, its habit of deciding which civilizations get to continue existing, and thinking: you know what, we’re not entirely sure America is the right country to be hosting this particular conversation.

Trump then posted an AI-generated image of himself in biblical robes, healing the sick, with light pouring from his fingers, eagles overhead, and what appeared to be the entire American military establishment looking on in quiet reverence. Just in case anyone felt the evening had not yet reached peak theological peculiarity.

The pope, for his part, had spent Saturday leading a prayer vigil in St. Peter’s Basilica, where he suggested that the kingdom of God operates without swords, drones, or vengeance.  He named nobody. He threatened nobody. He asked for peace. This, apparently, is what passes for a provocation requiring a 500-word Truth Social rebuttal and a messianic selfie.

Never before has the relationship between Washington and the Vatican revolved around two Americans. Specifically, a 79-year-old politician from Queens and a 70-year-old pontiff from Chicago.  It is, in its own catastrophic way, quite the achievement.

There are roughly one billion Catholics in the world. Trump’s approval among American Catholics alone has already slipped from 52 to 48 percent since the Vatican tensions began. And that is just the Americans. The global ones have not yet been polled, but one suspects the numbers are not trending upward.

The remarkable thing is not that a president and a pope disagree. That is fine. Healthy, even. The remarkable thing is that the president chose to resolve this disagreement by implying he personally installed the pope, casting himself as a divine healer, and then calling the leader of 1.4 billion Christians a radical leftist who is bad at his job.

There are, it turns out, some constituencies even Donald Trump cannot bully into submission. One of them answers to a higher authority. The other one has been around since 33 AD and has outlasted rather a lot of empires.

Electing idiots.

[Fellaraktar🇺🇦 @fellaraktar]

Thank you America.

You went first.

You showed the rest of us that right wing populists are full of shit, achieve nothing and will drag nations into the abyss.

Your example might have saved Europe from a dangerous shift.

Good luck in November, my friends! 🫡

You got this.
