Now that the Middle East issue has been resolved and nothing bad will ever happen there again, we’re now learning about the REAL problem the US faces: the Pope.
On Monday, The Free Press reported that in the wake of the Pope’s annual address to the Vatican’s diplomatic corps in January, in which he criticized states seeking conflict around the globe, the Department of Defense invited Cardinal Christophe Pierre for a meeting. At the time, Pierre was serving as Pope Leo’s personal envoy to the United States.
The Pentagon requesting a meeting with a Vatican official is “unprecedented,” according to the report.
According to Vatican and U.S. officials who were briefed on the meeting and spoke to the publication, the Pentagon criticized the Pope’s statements in January, interpreting them as hostile attacks on Trump’s policies. […]
In the wake of the meeting, the Pope reportedly refused Trump’s invitation to attend the nation’s 250th anniversary events.
Instead of spending July 4th in the U.S., the Pope will instead visit Lampedusa, a small Mediterranean island that has become an entry point for African migrants attempting to reach Europe.
A Vatican official speaking to The Free Press said the Pope has no plans to visit the U.S. while Trump is in office.
“The Pope may well never visit the United States under this administration,” the official reportedly said.
The most fascinating detail I’ve read about Mushroom Cock’s latest international diplomatic headache is that that one of the goons snapping at the Pope in this meeting apparently invoked the Avignon papacy, or the period when Philip IV of France was feuding with the Roman mob, culminating in him kind of imposing a French Pope on them who relocated the papacy to Avignon, before a later one took it back to Rome and the Avignon mob elected their own Pope. I presume the implied threat was that if Leo didn’t stop being a bitch to Trump, the latter would designate his own (probably supplied by FIFA), which would be ironic on a number of levels, but personally I’m actually impressed that someone in this regime has even heard of the Avignon papacy, let alone what it was. I generally don’t expect much historical awareness (especially about 14th century France) from American governments, but I expect it even less than usual from the current one, so I do have to acknowledge it this time, however grudgingly…
No, really. I told myself I’d watch (or, more accurately, hate-watch) this thing once it became available on Amazon and someone had ripped it from there and started circulating it elsewhere so that I wouldn’t have to pay for the pleasure, and tonight (with the film having landed on Amazon just a few hours earlier and already spread elsewhere) that was just what I did… albeit I did play it at 1.2x speed to make it a little quicker, and in doing so I learned that if you speed Mushroom Cock up to 1.2x, he almost sounds like a normal person. That is the sum total of what I learned from this thing, mind you; I expected practically nothing from Melania, yet I was still genuinely taken aback by just how vacuous this obscene puff piece actually proved to be. It’s astonishing how little is really going on in this thing; Melania herself comes over as just the most vapid, closed-off charisma void possible, and the film itself a 105-minute wank, nothing but pure narcissism. No insights, no stakes, and no wonder two-thirds of the crew reportedly had their names removed from the credits. It wasn’t even good for a hate-watch. Fuck me and my morbid curiosity, eh. Still, this is the first feature film I’ve watched all year (been watching a ton of shorts), and if nothing else that means everything else I watch this year will have to be a masterpiece by comparison…
