AKA one more reason for American archbishops to hate the Pope. And Catholicism. They should really break off and make their own dipshit church. That's my stance, and I'm stickin' to it.

They are disappoint locally that the Pope isn't Catholic'ing right. Did it ever occur to them...

Josh, I’m extremely disappointed that you don’t seem to be acquainted with the ideas that make one Christ-like; a Christian, in other worlds.

Gossip isn’t a good look on you, son.

Gee, I wonder why AP didn't run a headline that said "...a visit that could strengthen the Biden Administration's image that they take no guff from China."

The 26 can say what they think since they are:

1. Not running this year
2. Retiring/resigning
3. Have made it past the primaries
4. Are running in a safe GOP race

True, but I wouldn't usually expect them to say anything just on the general principle that if a Dem does it, it's bad. I'm not saying they deserve admiration or praise for it, but, for me, anyway, it's still noteworthy.

That used to be my joke: "Some say life begins at birth, others say life begins at conception. I say life begins with the words 'Hey, can I buy you a drink?'"

As round and round we run;
And the truth shall ever come uppermost,
And justice shall be done.
