Trump already has the sexual assault conviction, I'd say he's a shoe-in for pope.

JD meets with Pope ▶️ Pope dies ▶️ Trump becomes Pope ▶️ JD meets with Trump ▶️ ...

He knows his phony baloney base is supposedly Christian, right?

This is what they'll tell you with a straight face.

Noah was a drunk, King David killed a man so he could have the widow, and King Solomon had thousands of slaves.

The Lord can choose to work through flawed me; we must look past their character to see the holy spirit within.

Exactly why, as a small child, I couldn't understand anyone following this bullshit. They contradict themselves and then expect you to believe.

There's historically bad blood between Catholics and Protestants in America. All the recent Pope stuff is designed to fan those flames.

Non Catholics lump the two together but Protestant America is taught young that Catholics are in the same group as Jews, Muslims, and everyone else they hate.

So this is all dog whistling.

He straight up said "I'm not Christian", they don't care

I want to believe. Video source please!

Something something God uses imperfect people, I guess.

Edit: I mean that's something I've heard of MAGAts saying. Apparently they don't care because somehow they're convinced Trump is chosen by capital-G-God an will do God's will even if he's sinful as fuck.

Joe Biden would also be displeased.

Has anyone asked Trump about it?

"I didn't know I could be pope? This is the first time I'm hearing it. I think it'll get in the way of..well I could be, maybe I will do it. The pope and president at the same time? Wouldn't that be beautiful? Everyone's saying it."

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 hours ago

they did ask him and he said "being pope would be my first choice", you'll note how you were unable to even come up with something as nonsensical as what he actually said..

[–] [email protected] 4 points 13 hours ago

don't protestant leaders find this disgusting in a different way?

sorry i forgot, nothing means anything anymore.
