If he wasn’t a sexist and a homophobe I’d actually like that guy. But Catholics have a long history of misrepresenting scripture to suit their political purposes, and centuries of bad habits are hard to break.
Two-Scoops wanted this parade in his first term, but the military told him the roads in DC wouldn't take the weight or something. Apparently he wanted it so bad he made somebody find a city where it would work. edit: my bad, I assumed he was having the parade in Chicago, it will be in DC - where the army says it will do $16 million in damage to the streets. This has been factored into the $45 million price tag. Fun trivia: this is enough to build 3 new typical size high schools - but at least we know it's for a good cause! Happy Birthday, Taco Boy.
My mother is so happy to have tickets for this.
He's not just trolling MAGA, he's trolling the media. Now they have to make a choice as to which event they cover. Do they cover the Pope, and his anti-MAGA message, or do they cover HitlerPig's latest empty flex?
Now we just need to get some old bands back together and surround DC with aged rockers and rappers talking shit about felon 47.
Since when did US pres had military parade
Since the us population elected an imbecilic dictator.
When we became a shit hole authoritarian nation like what we were taught in school how the United States was better than them
CCP = GOP
The only kind of MAGA I enjoy seeing is a raging pissed off MAGA, crying with impotent boomer rage. Go Leo!
Sounds like a large protest in crime-addled Chicago is about to get shut down by ICE.
If it's mostly white people they'll have a hard time.
you’ve not been paying attention to ICE lately huh?
Divinely inspired
OK but this is pretty funny. If this is how the new pope rolls, I'm here for it.
He must guilt trip tf out of his flock -
You know who He wants to have the bigger crowd, right?
You Damned well better.
Always the bloody Orangemen, There shall better be no Orange Sea to part yonder morrow else Wrath shall reign down like Jesuits on an undeveloped desert land.
Capisce?
I'm not Catholic and don't really care who the Pope is but I know that MAGA doesn't like him. That makes me like him.
Weird they don’t like him since he’s a pedo enabler and trump is a pedo
Might be because he already has enough pedo enablers and one more might give them away
I went to Catholic school and most of my friends parents would have been democrats, were it not for abortion. If the new pope can convince those Catholics to stop supporting republicans, it’s a win.
He's still a senior member of the catholic church and is complicit in covering up their sex abuse of children, but at least he seems to be fairly not-fascist about most other topics.
Except the part where is explicitly stated marriage is between a man and a woman.
Yeah, like, his fascism jubilee isn't going to be in Chicago, so this article is just hunting for clicks.
But the media is going to split coverage. There will be very direct comparisons of crowd sizes. Some people will have to decide which event to attend, as they can't attend both.
The last part is the most important.
The pope coming to America is always a big deal. He's explicitly calling on American Catholics to choose sides.
Fuck the Vatican and all but boy is it tempting to go show my "support"
Should have done it in Baltimore.
What context am I missing here? Why Baltimore?
Proximity to DC.
Well, why not just have it ALSO in DC?
