Trump admin cancels $11M Catholic Charities contract amid feud with Pope

Right? I see no downsides to this.

I can see him starting his own religion instead, once he realizes how much merch he can sell.

This is how I imagine Netanyahu talks to Trump to get him to do his biddings

Think of prayers asked and answered as an exchange of goods. Now tariff them.

He's had the Petty Bitch title for most of his life, though.

It's just not enough for him to rape children anymore. When Donald Trump rapes a child, he only hurts that one child. By taking millions from a charity that helps children, Donald Trump has found one more way to ruin many children's lives all at once.

Trump seems like a person who heard that old meme about "How many children could you defeat?" and he ran with it.

Stopping food programs for children. Bombing elementary schools. Raping children. Caging children and separating them from their families. Deporting children despite their being US Citizens.

Trump is working from every angle to harm as many children as possible.

Trump's been a notorious petty bitch since the 1970s.

"Add"!?

It was already there from the start

His pettiness has allowed him to achieve amazing things. He used it to fuel his ambitions to replace the Catholic Church.

Now he is the one offering sanctuary and relief to countless pedophiles worldwide.

Trump eventually betrays everyone who trusts him. Including his own family.

A shame that a whole country wants their intentions to be decided by a narcissist.

I'm curious if there's historical record of anyone or especially a leader being as petty as this short fingered vulgarian.

I'd like to think anywhere before say 1900s they'd have dealt with such an issue in a way relevant to the times. But we have stories of Nero and Caligula.....is Trump going to join their ranks in history? I do hope so, but as a footnote, the worst thing for him is to be forgotten when he's done.

At this point, beyond all political crap, the proper stand is to just ignore the orange infant. I thought otherwise before, how to ignore a driving force in the world? Well if every other country stops acknowledging him, he'll probably have a stroke or something. Seriously let's all make an ignore Trump day/month and everyone including countries just don't acknowledge he's there. At his age that may least overcome one issue. Plus the rage posts will be great for the books, history and psychology.

Seriously who lets someone like that get into power? He's a petulant child and should be treated as such but somehow he's been treated with kid gloves cause he's rich.

Him in a vacuum? Yes, probably.
However, it's the handlers and enablers Wormtonguing him behind the scenes that make it difficult.

Call it a tariff instead and it's got legs.

Dear Internet Jesus, I don’t usually ask for things for myself, but . . .

That would be funny to see Biden going into a church and Vance being stopped outside.

He's actually petty enough to try. Lmao that would be fucking awesome

That idiot would probably try to tariff them.

Frankly fuck church's they should pay taxes. Fucking shits. Fuck religion

People unironically believe Trump is cool and suave.

Context is important. He's a charlatan, cool and suave to people who are easily manipulated. Which is supposed to be the atheists, but it turns out, believing in made up shit your whole life and ignoring science makes you way easier to manipulate than being an atheist.

Not until someone puts a bullet down his eye socket.

And even then....

It's stupid in a LOT of ways. But yes, that's one important one.

you realized the voters, are dumber than he is. and he called them suckers and losers.

Most Christians hate Catholics. They don't even consider them Christian which blows my mind.

Is there oil under Vatican City?

I certainly plan to bring this up to my highly catholic family members and see where their loyalty truly lies.

If we could channel their cognitive dissonance to turn turbines, we'd solve the energy crisis.

Meth?

Might as well just get rid of the first amendment at this point.

You're super late to the party. 1A has been a running joke in legal circles since checks notes the Alien and Sedition Acts.

It's always been a paper promise. Even when the state isn't explicitly cracking down on anti-government speech and opposition groups, they're constantly surveilling and censoring it. Without a meaningful political coalition surrounding the speaker, cops always find an excuse to arrest you for something. And if you can't lock someone up, well... don't look to hard into who shot MLK.

I’ve literally never celebrated a death. Any loss of life should be considered a tragedy IMO, even if that tragedy brings with it relief. Even people we’ve considered evil in the past were deeply damaged and unfortunate. They were innocent at one time, until the world corrupted them. That’s who I mourn for.

I’m going to make an exception for this man and his cronies. I promise to make it my own annual holiday. Take the day off work, go out with friends and talk about how batshit the situation was, read aloud his worst hits, go out to dinner and toast to his demise, play this David Cross bit which I hope to have memorized someday.

I hope to start this tradition as soon as possible.

So, I think that Trump starting fights with the Catholic Church is probably a bad idea from the standpoint of the Republican Party, but if I were the Democratic Party, I'd probably be watching this with interest.

But Democrats are probably more likely to be pro-Choice, and the American Catholic Church has made the abortion issue a litmus test for support. Even with all of Vance's bloviating, I haven't seen any US Bishop say they would deny him communion, like they threatened to do to Biden.

Really, the Catholic Church has brought this onto itself. They openly supported the candidates that are now deporting and torturing it's most vulnerable parishioners, all to make sure they could punish women who make choices the Church didn't like.

You realize the church isn’t getting the money, the church is using the money

to house immigrant children entering the U.S. without adult supervision

You’re not hurting the church when you no longer let them use your money to help care for the needy, you’re only hurting those needy

Don’t let your hatred of organized religion distract who this hurts

Three years from now after the charity goes under and no longer exists. But don't worry, a judge will write a mean sentence about trump.

Trump turns everything into a circus so it’ll be more WWE. Pope “Last Rites” Leo vs Donnie “The Art of the Deal Breaker” Trump. Leo’s got youth and stamina, Trumps got 120lb weight advantage. Leo could lock a win with his Second City Smite, but it’ll be curtains if Trump lands his Fifth Avenue Finisher. Oh, and who’s that in the mask!?! It’s Jeffrey Epstein with a steel chair!

Is he even catholic?

Fuck the Catholic church and fuck Donald Trump and fuck you
