JUSTICE! POPE SNUBS VEEP J.D. AT HIS INNAUGURAL MASS!!!

[thewayne]

Oh, my! WHAT A BURN!

Junkyard Dog Vance, or is it Juvenile Delinquent Vance? got all of SEVENTEEN SECONDS in the procession line after the mass. A basic "Hey, how ya doin'? I'm praying for your soul, J.D., it needs it." and a hand shake, then the pope was off to the next person.

Who did the pope spend a lot of time with? He had "extended" private audiences with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Peruvian President Dina Ercilia Boluarte Zegarra!

PERU!

J.D. got snubbed for PERU!

I do so love it when the fickled finger of fate stops and says 'Nah, not your day, bud!' and makes Peru the anointed one to get a nice long gab session with the pope.

I would like to visit Peru some day: Russet did grad work there and they have some great telescopes there in the Andes. Sadly, once we move away from high altitude, it's unlikely that Russet will be able to return to it for any significant amount of time.

Leo, in his previous incarnation as a bishop, had some very choice tweets about the operation of Our Beloved Leader in his first term in office, and in what they were doing thus far in this term, I expect the slight was intentional.

I am glad he is carrying on Francis' work in the snubbing of JD Vance department.

Francis is ROFLHAOing in heaven!  Probably also fist-pumping and shouting "You go, girl!" I'm an atheist, but I think it's a great image.

Well, Leo holds Peruvian citizenship, doesn't he? So of course he's chatting with the president of the country he made his home for so long.

[thewayne]

I meant to mention that, thanks for catching it.

I hope Leo washed his hands after that handshake.

Actually, it would've been hilarious for him to pull out a bottle of hand sanitizer before meeting the next person in line.

[thewayne]

Oh, that would have been rich!  Especially considering JD's boss is a germaphobe and doesn't shake hands.

Poor JD.
Just can't get a break.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hugs, Jon

[thewayne]

The lickspittle bum doesn't deserve a break!

[disneydream06]

I couldn't agree more. :o

[gingeriana]

I mean, he is not wrong. The dude REALLY needs all the prayers he can get, preferably "get well" prayers

[thewayne]

He does, but I don't think they'll help.  He threw his card in with the Orange Buffoon, Project 2025, Peter Theil, and with MAGA et al, there's not much going back from that.  His soul has been run through a shredder and the pieces burned.

That's a perfectly good thing for a pontiff to do who wants to give no aid or comfort to the American Heresy that he's probably going to try and deal with in his reign as Pope.

It's good to see that someone who is a known figure in the world has their priorities straight about who is important and who is to be dismissed as creating more problems than they could be expected to try and help solve.

This is something to smile about.

He was certainly due for a snub, way to go Pope Leo :)
