Mike Johnson Says Pope Was Asking for It
(newrepublic.com)
Fair enough. Then so was Charlie Kirk.
Oh, not like that, huh?
A man under a tent with the words prove me wrong written on it while arguing against gun control getting shot was definitely the definition of asking for it.
OMG! Mike Johnson raped the Pope?!?
/s
We HATE the Pope!
-People who want the Bible to be Law!
What you’re missing is that evangelicals think the Catholic Church is demonic.
Mike Johnson is not Catholic. He's a Christian Nationalist Protestant Evangelical piece of shit. They don't even have to pretend to give a fuck about the Pope.
The pope shouldn't have been dressed like that.
Such a sexy dress, he made Mike fail his mastorbation pact.
same with that dude hes always talking about. Blessed are the peacemakers. Shut the fuck up and stay in your lane. BE-AUGH-TCH!
Leo needs to call that punk ass out and show him how Chicago deals with Antichrists
Some years ago I would have laughed at the idea that the pope could be on any side of this but the wrong side. Then I found out just how stupendously, stupidly evil evil can get. I'm not laughing now.
Mike Johnson is such a cowardly fucking liar
Are we gonna kill the Pope?
I mean, the DoD literally threatened exactly that
When?
Undersecretary Elbridge Colby summoned the Papal Nuncio to the Pentagon, said the pope better get in line with Trump, and referenced the "Avignon Papacy", a historical event where France kidnapped and killed the pope then set up a puppet Papacy.
Edit: Looking into it, the original story came from "anonymous Vatican sources", and has since been officially denied by both sides.
January 2026.
The DoD held a meeting with Vatican officials where they threatened them, saying the US has the military power to "do whatever it wants" and that the "Church had better take its side"
There was so much going on then, I must have missed this. This is insane
Again? I don't think they'll let Vance in now.
Lots of folks are calling him turbulent
These guys messing with the Pope is hilarious. I dont even do religion and I know this is gonna be fun. Are they going for the Henry the 8th method?
I thought they were reactionaries in the "bring back the 1950's" sense, but they really want to bring back the 1500's. Mike is going to post his theses on supply side economics and neocon warfare on the front door of the St Louis Cathedral in NOLA.

Always have been. The notion that "conservatives" wanted to "conserve" anything but oligarchy (or literal monarchy, if they can get away with it) has never been anything but a lie to swindle the rubes.
