Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

MTG thinks everyone can crush a beer can on their head. Everyone that counts, that is.
If only it wasn't so trivial for her to trick people into giving her attention and publicity.
Ignoring people with power does not negate their power. Don't confuse powerless online trolls with powerful societal figures. Please, please don't.
Really? "Oh pleeeease, you dunce, I know it's difficult for people like you to understand, but powerful people are powerful".
You are defending engagement with what equates to a soap opera for politics. You are actively defending people memeing about what some politician said - in this case even about something that is completely irrelevant to anyone but deluded religionists - which is just a lot of lies in every instance anyway.
Why don't you promote engagement with shit they DO instead?
Are you deliberately fueling this pointless meme bullshit about political theater to make people feel better about themselves, in order to prevent them from doing something about the actually bad things that are going on outside of their doors right fucking now?
Or was that just some masturbatory eruption to satisfy your condescending impulse to snortleingly correct the defective thinking of some mentally inferior fool on the internet?
Why is my reply so heated? I see two possibilities:
- you do not know what you are doing
- you are doing it exactly because you know, and possibly because you are paid to do it.
And I give you the intellectual benefit of the doubt and say you are doing it deliberately.
People like you have been distracting the public discussion like this for as long as I live, and you try to make people criticizing the distraction look stupid, while elevating yourself.
"Pleeeeeeeease don't be a dummy, my dearest friend and buddy, pleeeeeease!". FUCK that.
We see preparations for concentration camps, actual genocides, the implementation of total surveillance states, the enactment of police state enablement laws, dismantling of human rights of every level, a burning planet, techno-oligarchs, so called "centrists" buddying up with fascists, territorial-/resource wars... and you defend people talking about SOME CUNT TALKING ABOUT SOME DEAD ASSHOLE WITH A TALL HAT? IN A POLITICS SECTION!
What the fuck!
If you say "Hey buddy, don't harsh on our stupid time, let us only talk about dumb stuff this year", I might just think "sigh Ok..." and dejectedly walk away, having my lack of faith in humanity validated once again, but your way of defending it is actually revolting to me.
Yeah stop giving fucking morons like this attention.
That's the main problem in the world right now. Smart and genuine people are completely ignored and loud morons get all the attention.
"Hmmm what should we make an article about today? This scientist that found a cure to a rare disease, this philanthropist that saved thousands?" "Nah let's write an article about this batshit insane moron that keeps screaming bigoted and racist things"
Making people angry = views/clicks Making people happy = no one cares
It's kinda a two sided coin though. If you don't pay attention to her, she will likely get by doing even more unhinged things with fewer repercussions than she has now.

He finally defeated this evil man... after he rose to being the fucking pope, led the church for 12 years, and died at a ripe 88 years old...
Idk, I feel like God didn't do much at all. But if he's striking down evil, I'd get to painting your door in sheep's blood real quick, Marge.

Huh, pretty on brand with Republican Christian values to be celebrating a person's death.
Not any person, the literal representative of Jesus Christ on Earth.
Her version of Christianity doesn't believe that so that doesn't really have any effect in this situation
She's consistently tactless. At least she has that going for her.
He was still conservative AF, but the MAGAs think he’s “evil” because he was advocating for helping those who have less than you, helping refugees, and treating people with compassion, even if the look or love differently that you.
Being a selfish asshole is MTGs entire brand.

Bleach blonde bad-built butch body needs to understand everyone looks at her ratchet ass and the traitors she aligns with and hopes the evil dies soon and hard.
I worry next pope will be a fascist. I wish this cunt and her leader would die.
It’s because he was just a bit nicer to minorities than other popes, right?
And to migrants.
There has to be others, Luigi can’t have been the only one. We. Are. Waiting….
why wait when you can be the change.
Allegedly! The evidence is slim. It's reasonable to assume the killer is still out there...

Antichrist laughs when Pope dies! Will you be safe from her Rapture? Tonight on Sick Sad World!
Fuck this insanity. All these hollows need to be removed from society before they destroy it.
Last I checked DJT still alive and well so this doesn't check out, Marjorie.
Also, DJT is just the tip of late-stage-capitalism's iceberg of evil so wake me up after we abolish billionaires, convert all large companies into worker co-ops, and design our cities to be walkable places connected by public transportation
I'm glad we can always rely on the MAGA sycophants to say the most deranged and antichrist things.
Chances are she will die before I die. I'll save this quote of hers for later use.
If evil was being punished by God, why the fuck is this screeching demon still alive?
When religion and politics travel in the same cart, the riders believe nothing can stand in their way. Their movement becomes headlong–faster and faster and faster. They put aside all thought of obstacles and forget that a precipice does not show itself to the man in a blind rush until it’s too late.
In 1933, Hitler signed the Reichskonkordat (Reich Concordat), a treaty with the Vatican that required the regime to honour the independence of Catholic institutions and prohibited clergy from involvement in politics.[158] However, the regime continued to target the Christian churches to weaken their influence. Throughout 1935 and 1936, hundreds of clergy and nuns were arrested, often on trumped up charges of currency smuggling or sexual offences

LOL "trumped up charges."

Are there still Protestants who are assmad about the "papist" Catholics? Feels like a complete anachronism like hearing slurs against the Irish and Italians.
Oh, absolutely, I know Protestants who don't consider Catholics to be Christians at all. And a large part of the current religious conservatism in America is based on these Protestant Evangelicals.
Catholics who are rooting on the Christofascists just because they are currently anti-abortion don't realize that it won't be too long before Catholics are targeted. The Christofascists never liked them anyway, they just liked their votes. Once they no longer need to rely on votes to stay in power, they don't need the Catholics anymore.

I was raised in a Baptist Church and my pastor used to spend a significant amount of time shit talking Catholics.

I suppose any pope who gives a crap about the actual people is considered a bad pope by republicans.
If her god existed and worked like she thought to defeat evil, she would have been toast long ago. She's the epitome of evil.

What an obnoxious piece of shit.
I thought it was an onion type article from the headline. I was all "You're not going to get me this time"
Then the comments made me realise it wasn't satirical. Christ.
Extremely old and sick person eventually dies
Yeah, that wad all MY God's work!
These people are so sadly simplistic

God's intervention can be observed when an 88 year old dies of natural causes.
