Pope Innocent XLVII

JD Vance was the last visitor that Pope Francis received, so he should really be prime suspect for the latter’s death shortly afterwards. There’s no evidence for any wrongdoing, of course, but a one-way trip to El Salvador seems appropriate for a crime like this.

Now there is the idea that the president should be the next pope. Some bootlickers, Lindsay Graham prominent among them, suggested that it would be ideal to combine the Papacy with President of the United States. When asked, the president himself said “I’d like to be pope. That would be my number one choice”.

All very silly and you could pass it off as a joke of some sort, albeit a joke with no obvious setup or punchline. But now he posts an AI picture of himself dressed as Pontifex Maximus. If this genuinely is a joke, I’ve really lost the thread by now.

Catholic bishops don’t find it funny anyway: “There is nothing clever or funny about this image, Mr. President. We just buried our beloved Pope Francis and the cardinals are about to enter a solemn conclave to elect a new successor of St. Peter. Do not mock us.”

It’s so annoying that the administration consists entirely of trolls and edgelords. They throw out random insults, lolcats and memes, then move on. Don’t care. In the past they would have been banned for this nonsense, but it’s too late for that.
