What a weird cunt

Is this how we get the Orange Catholic Bible?

[–] AdamBomb@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 14 hours ago

I see what you did there, well played

[–] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 day ago

Frank Herbert was a genius writer, and we should never forget that.

As soon as the pope died I told my partner he would do this.

"Some say, not me, that I would be the best pope there ever was. I am the most wonderful christian man there is. The presidency has been very successful - just look at the polls! From today I declare myself POPE TRUMP!!! The DANGEROUS left will call me many nasty things, many bad things. They are deranged and nasty but I am now the pope and they will not do anything about it because they are WEAK. Some say Sleepy Joe Biden killed the pope, now I don't know if that is true, I don't think it is but it might be true, I don't know. KING POPE TRUMP 2028!!!"

I think a prerequisite to becoming pope is knowing how to read

[–] HexPat@lemm.ee 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Pretty sure this is now illegal in Texas

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

It's only illegal for Democrats. Republicans won't be prosecuted.

Again, this fully convinces me he definitely did NOT order the assassination of the pope.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

More zone flooding. Ignore and move on.

Wouldn’t even be in the top 5 of the worst or most immoral popes in history, which is crazy.

[–] BigMikeInAustin@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

Why does Trump fantasize about wearing a dress?

[–] DBT@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

This guy reminds me of that movie Little Nicky where Satan’s son comes to earth and is preaching to a church congregation (while standing in a pizza? Am I remembering this accurately?).

He even paints his face orange like the devil lol

Edit: Here it is

The trajectory of the shit moving toward the fan has reached its end.

[–] console@lemmy.world 0 points 15 hours ago

I feel like it's extreme ragebaiting/trolling. Either way had a massive laugh despite him being an ass

[–] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 11 points 1 day ago

Yes please take him as the Pope and remove him from the presidency.

[–] aturtlesdream@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Okay, he can be the pope if it means he is no longer president. There is slightly less damage he can do that way!

[–] Don_alForno@feddit.org 2 points 20 hours ago

A lot less damage I'd say. Also, the job is for life, and even if he resigned they'd lock him away in some villa and he wouldn't be allowed to make public statements anymore.

Win win win if you ask me.

[–] kn0wmad1c@programming.dev 7 points 1 day ago

Someone invoke the TAKE IT DOWN act on it

[–] libra00@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Someone with some photoshop skill ought to change this to be the face from the painting Trump said he hated it and then reply to his post with it. Bonus points if you add some greasy McDonald's stains to the hat and/or robe.

[–] AidsKitty@lemmy.world 0 points 19 hours ago

I think he wants to put the idea out there that he could "step in" as pope if needed.

[–] KingGordon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He misread pope as rape and signed right up.

[–] DrSleepless@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Or maybe he figured he could molest more children
