We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

Not wanna be that guy but... Right after meeting with the couchfucker!

I might, for once, hop into the train of conspiracies. For fucks and giggles, that's it.

He gave the fucker 3 kinder eggs! I'd personally be offended if the pope himself, as an easter present , gave me a fucking kinder egg! I mean, you find those in any supermarket for around 6-7€ each. And that's the present you give to the VP of "the most important country in the world"? That's not a diss, that's THE diss.

They are exotic in the USA, where they are illegal. Clearly the pope was trying to kill Shady Van's kids.

The AP reported:

The 88-year-old pope offered the Catholic vice president three big chocolate Easter eggs for Vance’s three young children, who did not attend, as well as a Vatican tie and rosaries.

I saw the images. Kinder eggs. They are by no means unique or even good. They are just cheap chocolate with cheap licensed figures. I mean, there are way better eggs if you want to make a meaningful present. He just went with what the fucker deserved. A cheap option for a cheap asshole.

Kinder Surprise eggs are illegal in the US, as federal regulations deem them a choking hazard.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinder_Surprise

A 1938 law, the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, prohibits confectionery products that contain a "non-nutritive object", unless the non-nutritive object has functional value.[34] Essentially, the Act bans "the sale of any candy that has embedded in it a toy or trinket".[35]

If Pope Francis actually gave Vance's children Kinder Surprise eggs


as opposed to some other type of chocolate egg


we can reasonably assume that the pope was trying to murder Vance's kids, and that Vance probably felt that he had to strike before the pope made any subsequent attempts.

I didn't mean to dispute that. I just checked what you stated and posted what I found for anyone else who, like me, wasn't up to date on this meeting. I share your assessment.
