Just FYI, I WAS raptured. Thankfully, I've been fully vaxxed for years, so my 5G signal is full bars! Do me a favor and take care of the #Vaticats, k?

The 1st amendment guarantees that the GOVERNMENT will do nothing to impinge upon your freedom of speech. A company not allowing you to use their product b/c you violated their terms of service in NOT a violation of 1a. A POTUS using the DOJ & FCC to threaten his critics into silence IS.

Of course.

"Escalators are for CLOSERS!"

Also today, the same guy went before the leaders of the world and made an impassionate plea for them to fight the REAL evils of the word. Namely: - There's a conspiracy of escalators & teleprompters against him - Him not getting credit for stopping 7 wars - People expressing free speech

1 minute of VatiZen 😇 #Vaticats

Reminder: Podcaster, & FBI Director, Kash Patel claims Epstein didn't traffic women to ANYBODY but himself. That includes to Alan Dershowitz who admitted to receiving a massage on Epstein island (while keeping his underwear on) & Prince Andrew, who paid off one of the "non-trafficked" women.

Today a man publicly made the claim that Tylenol causes autism. This was the same man who just 5 years ago made the claim that COVID was no big deal. And he got his information from a man with no medical experience who is leading the Department of Health and Human Services. ...

Excuse me, Padre, it's pronounced Gumpel. Your Director. And wow, birthday shoutout from the roof at the Vatican! My Jewish family will be so proud. Thanks, Padre (and Bryan and Sheralise)!

Do you think they'll mind if I just leave a trail of clothing through the Vatican?

Oh! There's a Rapture this Tuesday?!?! We haven't had a good ole Rapture since Harold Camping in 2011! ... Good reason to call-in sick, yeah? ☺️

Disney copyrighted "Steamboat Willie" in 1928 then lobbied Congress to extend to almost a century. It entered the public domain Jan '24 & it should be 100% legal for ANYBODY to use it. But Disney is using the THREAT of baseless lawsuits to scare people away from doing so. apnews.com/article/disn...

I'm just posting this now so I can reference it when Trump gets ill or passes and his supporters demand that we all "honor the presidency".

"We have investigated ourselves and have found that we did nothing wrong. ... Also, we fired the people who recorded us doing wrong." www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Dear tech bros, Congrats. You played yourselves. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

This is the 19th death of a person in custody of ICE since Trump turned it into a poorly-trained personal army of terror.

The community is spending a Friday night with the Uomo d'Acciaio!

Long week. I need some moonches. #Vaticats

In the Catholic sacramental tradition, priests cannot absolve a penitent of a sin if they were an accomplice to that sin. Why don't pardons work the same way?

Worried about the consequences of violating the civil rights of US citizens? Easy... just hire a bunch of morally-flexible thugs who don't have a single day of law-enforcement training under their belt, give them gear and a mask, and tell them that POTUS will pardon them for any laws they break.

This is the man who is primarily responsible for SCOTUS being the way it is today. And yes... He is still in office.

If the GOP is so satisfied with Kash Patel's claim that Epstein didn't traffic any women to anybody but himself, it seems a bit strange for them to block the testimony of the CEOs who could tell us exactly why $1.5b flowed though Epstein's accounts.

Look... It's time to stop supporting networks that kowtow to dictators. It doesn't matter if they're looking for a merger or just to curry favor: If they are actively helping our democracy fall into darkness, don't watch ANYTHING they make. variety.com/2025/tv/news...

Now that kids are back in school, remember: - We require kids to be in school for 8 hrs/day - Trump cut $1b from school lunches so less-fortunate students go hungry during the years when their bodies need the most nourishment to properly develop. www.livenowfox.com/news/usda-ca...

Trump taking the UAE off his "do not receive AI tech" list was puzzling. Why would they be ON the newly-created list only to be immediately taken off? ... Now that it's been confirmed that the UAE gave $2 billion to Trump's crypto, it's less puzzling. www.commondreams.org/news/trump-u...

The DOJ deleted a 2024 study by the National Institute of Justice showing that right-wing extremism in the US is far more violent than any other political ideology. B/t 1990 & now: - Far-right = 227 attacks, killing 520. - Left Wing = 42 attacks, killing 78. newrepublic.com/post/200537/...

Jesuit Brother Guy Consolmagno is retiring after 10 years as director of the Vatican Observatory. He leaves a legacy of bridging faith and science, teaching that humility and collaboration are key to discovery. Thank you, Brother Guy! www.americamagazine.org/faithinfocus...

These officers saw a "weird" brown-skinned man driving in Arkansas - They stopped him, opened his sealed mail, found a bottle of perfume called "Opium" & assumed he was dealing drugs. The man's wife did better detective work than the entire police department. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zm4b...

Just the President of the United States responding to a perfectly legit question about his conflict of interests with, "I'm gonna tell on you"

Pope Leo arrived at Castel Gandolfo on Monday night and plans to spend the day there. On Tuesday, he met with Catholicos Karekin II, Patriarch of the Armenian Apostolic Church.

At some point I'll need to explain to a generation of new Catholics how tens of millions of their fellow Catholics read: "I was hungry, & you didn’t feed me. Thirsty, & you didn’t give me a drink. A stranger, & you didn’t invite me into your home" ... then added "but you MAGA'd, so good job."

Many will point to 2018's "Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission" (584 U.S. 617) to say that this SCOTUS has already ruled (7-2) that you CAN'T be prosecuted for refusing service ... unfortunately, SCOTUS was too cowardly to rule on freedom of speech. They should fast-trak this.

This was a fully-modern city, housing almost 600,000 people. It has been reduced to rubble by those who would prefer that those people just not exist. ... And by at least one who would like to build a golf course and resort.

The United States is murdering foreign nationals without even a shred of admissible evidence to prove that they were drug dealers, terrorists, or otherwise a threat to ANYONE. nypost.com/2025/09/15/u...

I can't unsub 365 as I've never been subscribed to Office 365. I'm still rocking Office 2007 and I'm quite happy with it, thank you. (Runs in a VM - I only use Word & Excel)

"Feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!" #Vaticats

Could you imagine if Democrats had tried to fire, imprison, deport anybody who made light of, or spread conspiracy theories about Paul Pelosi getting brutally attacked in his home?

15 years ago the GOP claimed the ACA had "death panels" that could decide to kill you. Even though the originator of the talking point couldn't FIND the part of the bill that did that, the Tea Party went claiming that Democrats wanted the power to kill people for being "undesireable".
