I didn't think he would really do it.

because the pope wouldn't give him his couch

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 3 days ago

That pure malice that emanates from JankyDick is not recommended for anyone over the age of 80.

Well the Pope ghosted JD, so JD obviously ghosted the Pope.

Being anywhere in Trump's orbit speeds up your trajectory towards death like Matt Damon in Saving Private Ryan. Donald Trump is, essentially, a biological version of "The Machine" from The Princess Bride pushed to 50.

Since the pope was only secondarily contaminated, the process was slower, but he was already so close to death as it is.

Given the conservative drift of major institutions over the past year or so whoever they pick for the new Pope is probably less likely to excommunicate him

[–] ShittyBeatlesFCPres@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

We’ll see how it goes but Francis chose a supermajority of the current Cardinals. With the exception of Cardinal Pizzaballa, I don’t know any of their names, much less their views.

Cardinal Pizzaballa

That cannot be his real name.

Looks it up

Huh, TIL.

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 13 points 3 days ago

Because Elon wanted it. Vance doesn't have an ounce of initiative in his body. He doesn't need a reason other than his boss asked him.

[–] RangerJosey@lemmy.ml 12 points 3 days ago

Because he's evil. And the pope publicly gave him a lecture. Made him look smaller than he already did.

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 4 points 2 days ago

I don't know, but he better have said thanks

[–] Pronell@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I don't know the why but the first thing I said when I found out was "Polonium".

killed him to further the prophecy that this is the end times.

[–] painfulasterisk1@lemmy.ml 9 points 3 days ago

He spoke Spanish

[–] RabbitBBQ@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

So a conclave power struggle is set off behind the scenes to try to install Cardinal Burke so that they have one less institution to get in the way

[–] vga@sopuli.xyz -1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It's a joke.

A rather bad joke, imho. I think "when they go low, we go high" is a good ideal. ... however you want to interpret that phrase.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 10 points 3 days ago

If you're in the vatican, what else is there to do?

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 5 points 2 days ago

Truth is, he wasn't trying to. Vance wanted to show off his zombie Jesus costume, but it turned out to be a killer costume!

(I just wanted to throw something in that isn't the same jokes everyone else is making)

[–] 0x01@lemmy.ml 8 points 3 days ago

Because he didn't say "thank you" clearly

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's all that white on white, he kinda looked like a couch. He wasn't trying to kill him, but the old man was frail and looked too much like a cushion.

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 2 points 2 days ago

good god no

Couldn't hear the safe word through the ball gag.

[–] Bongles@lemm.ee 7 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Everyone here seems to be in on something that I've missed.

Edit: I read a reuters article, I see he met with JD yesterday.

[–] Clairvoidance@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Clearly he visited India today to discuss a Hindu Nationalist takeover of America

he threatened to release the video of him and cardinal wuerl spit roasting a luxury couch.

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

The pope's death was God's plan. God is the murderer. (Again)

[–] LarryLurkman@lemm.ee 3 points 2 days ago

Butthurt, his hallmark.

[–] octobob@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 days ago

JD Vance had FOXDIE

[–] nothingcorporate@lemmy.today 5 points 3 days ago

What's a Nazi's favorite color smoke?

White smoke.

(For all y'all non Catholics, the vatican has white smoke to signal when they elect a new pope...and ya know...JD Vance is a nazi.)

[–] Bronzebeard@lemm.ee 4 points 2 days ago

The pope wouldn't let him ogle the holy see.
