is reporting that the Pope's brother received bomb threats yesterday. He lives in suburban Chicago and is a mild mannered teacher! Deplorables! But haven't heard of any treats to the MAGA brother here in SW Florida!

I know that X is a sewer but JFC... every troll and hardcore MAGAt out there is working overtime trying to outdo each other on that post. Sickening. Even as a life long Catholic, I never paid that much attention to the Pope. This particular pope is a person made for this moment. I hope this will only magnify T45s revolting and inexcusable nature once and for all.

It is especially sweet that Pope Leo never mentions who he is talking about. All these fuck yer feelings people are sure sensitive for some reason. A hit dog will holler.

At least for me, it loses most of the intimidation factor.



But I understand not wanting to expose one's self and others to even a hint of toxicity.

14. I called my so-called reps Ricketts and flood today.

I told Ricketts that I have come to believe that the only people he serves are the people that have as much money as him. But if he should change his mind one thing they should both listen to today is the Pope and Tammy Duckworth; they speak for the American people.
