If Pope Francis dies we need an even woker pope to replace him. I’m talkin’ women priests. Trans nuns. A Swiss Guard that brutally enforces DEI. Excommunicating JD Vance. It should make the Unitarians look like Opus Dei.

MLK: "Everybody longs for meaning. Everybody needs to love and be loved. Everybody needs to clap hands and be happy. Everybody longs for faith. In music, especially this broad category called Jazz, there is a stepping stone towards all of these.”

Robert Menendez was one of the purest New Jersey politicians of my lifetime even before he got arrested with a bunch of fucking gold doubloons and unmarked bills in his home.
