It was the first thing I heard about today and I couldn't help but think that the orange ogre would think of the pope's death as grandstanding!

but for those who are, i think it's fair to say that krasnov and the pope are headed in opposite directions.

apparently the former isn't done making hell on earth for millions of people yet.

maybe this time he will accept the Maître d's offer of one more wafer-thin mint.

Still, the day is yet young. One dares to dream.

Done in by outraged children at the WH egg roll today, when they discover no candy to be had.

Pope Francis and Trump are standing on the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City with a huge crowd below. Francis leans toward Trump and says, "Do you know that with one wave of my hand I can make every person in this crowd go wild with joy? This joy will not be momentary, it will be long lasting and they'll forever remember this day and rejoice!" Trump scoffs, "I doubt that, Pope! One wave of your hand?....Show me!" So Pope Francis backhands Trump and knocks him off the balcony.

BREAKING NEWSFLASH!!1!!!1!
"In a report several hours before Pope Francis died, he had quick pecular smile on his face, a lift of his eyebrows, and in a low voice not quite a whisper so it could be heard": "Divine Intercession." in both italian, then repeated in English.

Approximately 5 minutes later after times were cross checked; while near the begining what may have become a long, rambling, semi-incoherent speech on the pavement near the entrance to The Rose Garden; on a perfectly clear blue sky DC Spring day - a lone, out of nowhere, but gigantic lightening bolt hit President Trump.

After the near bolting of the assembled crowd stopped, and the attendant screams calmed down: all that left was a huge splotch of char on the pavement, and a tipped over podium.

Part of the press core cheered. The rest of them looked on horrified at their mirthful colleauges.

As soon as the word flashed around The USA, then The Globe: about 95+% of The World's Nations, and 60+%, or so of Americans: people on the streets of cities who also poured out of buldings, and towns broke out into spontaneous celebrations even more massive then when President Biden won in 2020!
They continue.".
