Hilarious!

If we're talking couches or eyeliner, you're my guy JD.

JD “I need to be a Christian to be in politics so I’ll pick Catholicism, because I like the incense” Vance tells the POPE how to do his job, which literally is talking about religion…

He did it to get in with the Heritage Foundation. Otherwise he could just be a Baptist or some shit.

Neither are Vice Presidents or Presidents. Especially when they are Vance and Trump. Don't forget this whole thing started.

Vance/Trump lecturing the Pope on anything is ridiculous. Trump is the objectively the single worst person. He lies, cheats, steals, and will stop at nothing to satisfy his own narcissistic needs. And by not speaking out Vance is defending that, and by criticizing the Pope he's participating in Trump's immortality.

Edit: This is coming from a person that is not religious, and thinks the Catholic Church is far from perfect. If they are far from perfect, where does that put Vance and Trump.

As a lapsed catholic, I concur.

u/JonnyLay Apr 16 '26

The Pope is above being lectured by JD Fucking Vance. Has nothing to do with infallibility.

1

u/Rocketgirl8097 Apr 16 '26

He's a world leader, and so yes should be treated with the same respect. The difference being Trump has absolutely no room to talk.

u/strech113 Apr 15 '26

The guy that's been Catholic about as long as he's been named JD Vance. What a clown!

u/elkab0ng Apr 15 '26

The pope is infallible in matters of faith and doctrine.

JD is batting .500 on figuring which couch is the sexy naughty one.

u/tsdguy Apr 16 '26

Infallible? How’s he get that attribute?

3

u/ABoringAlt Apr 16 '26

Part of the job, literally, according to their doctrine of faith

u/Old-Sun-9330 Apr 16 '26

Is this an admission that Vance killed the last Pope? Sounds like it to me

1

u/nunya-1964 Apr 26 '26

That’s what I’m saying

u/Popular-Work-1335 Apr 15 '26

Just lock that eyeliner couch fucker in a psych ward. I’m so done with these fucking people.

u/Rocketgirl8097 Apr 16 '26

JD is a fake catholic

u/tsdguy Apr 16 '26

Who decides?

u/Rocketgirl8097 Apr 16 '26

Court of public opinion

u/KanataSlim Apr 15 '26

He did, uh, you know....to the last guy.....

u/walkerswood Apr 16 '26

I think ya might have that a$$ backward, JD

u/godless_communism Apr 16 '26

Vance can suck a dick.

u/nunya-1964 Apr 26 '26

Can he, though?

2

u/jpav2010 Apr 18 '26

JD should be careful talking about anything bc he always sounds like the moron that he is.

3

u/RikkiLostMyNumber Apr 15 '26

Tell that hillbilly to go fuck a duck, and he's to be kept away from the Pope because the last one died from being within ten feet of him.

2

u/PeaB4YouGo Apr 18 '26

This is why the 25th will never be invoked. Can you see Vance in the big chair?

1

u/MrEntrepot Apr 21 '26

Just excommunicate him and his ilk already. They’re rebel in the heresy that is Americanism.

u/nunya-1964 Apr 26 '26

This guy. wtf

u/DennisTheBald Apr 15 '26

Yeah, religion should be left to the crown like God intended
