(7,993 posts)but I sure am loving this. I love hearing and reading the title, "Pope Leo." That's fun.
And, I'm glad he picked rumpy's BD parade day to take over the coverage. I am a veteran who is sick of hearing rump defend his parade by claiming that we are the most powerful military and should display it. No, we shouldn't. I don't mind parades and bands, but trotting out the hardware to show you that we can kill you is not something to do. Everybody already knows, and we don't need to rub anybody's nose in it. Especially on a day where rump can claim a birthday parade for himself. It is a waste of money and it is something that we don't do.
I do like the submarine joke, though.
Overall, Saturday, June 14th is going to be exciting. Trump thought he would be front and center, but Pope Leo is going to supersede that. Rump's Pope portrait can't begin to compare with the excitement of a real Pope, someone who may emphasize kindness, courage, and inclusion of the oppressed. Words of encouragement to go forth and do right. Or something. Anyway, it seems to be a party, and not for rump.
And the rally coverage should be exciting!
I don't think the Pope is trying to help rump. I can't see how it would help him. Rump is going to be furious when he sees all the coverage Pope Leo gets. The narcissist in rump is going to explode. Better keep that ambulance handy!
