Yeah. Why the fuck did that stop? It worked and then it just vanished.

I actually think if a person is completely normal, they're sort of boring and sad. So, I think of weird as a compliment.

But if they want to keep being offended by being called weird, I'm all for it. It's the sort of thing I guess a bootlicking sycophant would be offended by. They've given up their individuality and their ability to think for themselves to try to fit in and receive praise from their dear leader, so it makes sense that they'd be offended to be called weird.

Because it goes squarely against his plans. He literally wants to to the worst and the pope is here standing in his way so he has to threaten him.

Ultimately I think it’s deeper but simpler than that, they are all very very very afraid of the reality of our existence, and additionally intimidated by how much they don’t actually know about the nature of reality. They get an explanation and stick to it like superglue, any suggestion that explanation is wrong bring the fear of the unknown and their own powerlessness back to their conscious minds and lash out violently to protect their simple and easy to understand worldview

So, what you're saying they're saying is: The Pope Stated it!!!!!!!

He literally expects that his followers be cucks, and cheer him on as he rapes their God, savior, religion, country, and daughters.

I'd still be pissed off at them....

Of all the actual harm he has caused to god knows how many people, from the welching on debts, starting an insurrection and raping women, him insulting god is what actually gives them pause.....

Eligibility

Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution sets three qualifications for holding the presidency. To serve as president, one must:

• be a natural-born citizen of the United States;
• be at least 35 years old;
• be a resident in the United States for at least 14 years.[126]

A person who meets the above qualifications would still be disqualified from holding the office of president under any of the following conditions:

• Under Article I, Section 3, Clause 7, having been impeached, convicted and disqualified from holding further public office, although there is some legal debate as to whether the disqualification clause also includes the presidential office: the only previous persons disqualified under this clause were three federal judges.[127][128]
• Under Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment, no person who swore an oath to support the Constitution, and later rebelled against the United States, is eligible to hold any office. However, this disqualification can be lifted by a two-thirds vote of each house of Congress.[129] There is, again, some debate as to whether the clause as written allows disqualification from the presidential position, or whether it would first require litigation outside of Congress, although there is precedent for use of this amendment outside of the original intended purpose of excluding Confederates from public office after the Civil War.[130]
• Under the Twenty-second Amendment, no person can be elected president more than twice. The amendment also specifies that if any eligible person serves as president or acting president for more than two years of a term for which some other eligible person was elected president, the former can only be elected president once.[131][132]

So, going down the list:

• Pope Leo XIV was apparently born in Chicago, so he meets the natural-born citizen requirement.

• Pope Leo XIV was born in 1955, so he's 70 and meets the 35 years of age requirement.

• It looks like, checking other sources, that the 14 year resident is just a requirement for cumulative residency over one's life. Unless he has other things he did that Wikipedia doesn't mention, he was in the US until he joined a mission to Peru in 1981, so he should meet the residency requirement.

• He has not been impeached and convicted, so he meets that requirement.

• He has not rebelled against the US, so he meets that requirement..

• He has not yet been elected to be President more than twice, so he meets that requirement.

According to WP, he's still a US citizen.

So I expect that he could. There are no restrictions on also being a foreign citizen (he is a citizen of Peru and Vatican City as well) or of not also being concurrently a foreign head of government.

"Maybe we can combat MAGA by creating Catholic theocracy."

Absolutely would be eligible

I gotta respect the fact that the new pope is from Chicago. I'm not a fan of religion as a whole, so I have no attachment to the Catholic Church and believe they still have a lot of abuse and generational baggage to make up for.

But I can at least appreciate having a second American world leader out there, acting sane and doing better global PR for the United States than we seem capable of doing ourselves. I'll take any silver lining I can find at this point, something to convince the world that we're not all insane.

And maybe he can even convince the less sane of us to at least do the right thing in the end, who knows.

*in world. Spirituality is fine though

It's almost like the US needs some sort of underlying principle like, just spitballing here, "separation of religion and government", or "separation of church and stateliness" or something. Nah, that'll never catch on.

Never thought I'd see the day where I was compelled to side with the Catholic Church in any kind of conflict.

The wope (woke Pope) seems alright. Better than the last one at least and that guy was pretty good too

There are dozens of us. Dozens!

It's weird that people still think that's the motivation behind what's going on.

They could release a video of Trump raping an infant to death and absolutely nothing would happen to him. If anything the files are a distraction from them consolidating their fascist state.
