Could Donald Trump really be next to Pope? Yes. Keep kneeling. [View all]

Today is a great day for the Church, a day when other religions will be put on notice that they can no longer keep taking advantage of the Catholics. And it’s about time.

This is an actual post by U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham on the social media site X:

I was excited to hear that President Trump is open to the idea of being the next Pope. This would truly be a dark horse candidate, but I would ask the papal conclave and Catholic faithful to keep an open mind about this possibility!

The first Pope-U.S. President combination has many upsides. Watching for white smoke…. Trump MMXXVIII!

Dominos, Nabisco. Thank you. Thank you. Love to see all the kneeling.

As your new pope, I will be bringing back the Catholic Church, which frankly, has been run into the ground by stupid, crooked foreigners for many centuries.

I call them “centuries.” It’s a word that means a hundred years. Most people don’t know that.

No more meek inheriting MY Earth

Today is a great day for the Church, a day when other religions will be put on notice that they can no longer keep taking advantage of the Catholics. And it’s about time.

The Muslims are laughing at us. The Buddhists are beating us badly in Asia. And the Jews are eating our lunch.

So sad.

And what are we doing? Giving away money to the poor. Hiding our good-looking young nuns in non-flattering clothing. And over-regulating so-called “sins”, which are really just people using their leverage to make some shrewd deals.
