'Evil is being defeated by God': Marjorie Taylor Greene celebrates after Pope's death
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) celebrated following the death of Pope Francis on Monday. "Today there were major shifts in global leaderships," Greene wrote on X just hours after the pontiff died. "Evil is being defeated by the hand of God." Greene's remarks came after Rep. Nancy Mace's (R.....
This made me laugh incredibly hard, so had to post it.
If only it wasn't so trivial for her to trick people into giving her attention and publicity.
Yeah stop giving fucking morons like this attention.
That's the main problem in the world right now. Smart and genuine people are completely ignored and loud morons get all the attention.
"Hmmm what should we make an article about today? This scientist that found a cure to a rare disease, this philanthropist that saved thousands?" "Nah let's write an article about this batshit insane moron that keeps screaming bigoted and racist things"
Making people angry = views/clicks Making people happy = no one cares
Bleach blonde bad-built butch body needs to understand everyone looks at her ratchet ass and the traitors she aligns with and hopes the evil dies soon and hard.
Chances are she will die before I die. I'll save this quote of hers for later use.
Antichrist laughs when Pope dies! Will you be safe from her Rapture? Tonight on Sick Sad World!
This fucking Battletoad...
Last I checked DJT still alive and well so this doesn't check out, Marjorie.
Also, DJT is just the tip of late-stage-capitalism's iceberg of evil so wake me up after we abolish billionaires, convert all large companies into worker co-ops, and design our cities to be walkable places connected by public transportation
I'm glad we can always rely on the MAGA sycophants to say the most deranged and antichrist things.
He was still conservative AF, but the MAGAs think he’s “evil” because he was advocating for helping those who have less than you, helping refugees, and treating people with compassion, even if the look or love differently that you.
Being a selfish asshole is MTGs entire brand.
He finally defeated this evil man... after he rose to being the fucking pope, led the church for 12 years, and died at a ripe 88 years old...
Idk, I feel like God didn't do much at all. But if he's striking down evil, I'd get to painting your door in sheep's blood real quick, Marge.
Timely reference. Nice.
It’s because he was just a bit nicer to minorities than other popes, right?
And to migrants.
Huh, pretty on brand with Republican Christian values to be celebrating a person's death.
What an obnoxious piece of shit.
I thought it was an onion type article from the headline. I was all "You're not going to get me this time"
Then the comments made me realise it wasn't satirical. Christ.
MTG is proof that a horse can get sunburn.
With one eye staring directly into it at all times.
Fuck this insanity. All these hollows need to be removed from society before they destroy it.
If her god existed and worked like she thought to defeat evil, she would have been toast long ago. She's the epitome of evil.
Maybe she worships Tzeench?
Nah, given what we know about Drumpf and his cohorts, Slaanesh is the one being worshipped. Tzeench likes change, but the debauchery and depravity that is currently happening with this administration fits more.
Khorne was G.W., Nurgle was the first trump term, Slaanesh is the current one, Tzeench will probably be the redeeming god. The Materium can only handle so much.
I suppose any pope who gives a crap about the actual people is considered a bad pope by republicans.
When religion and politics travel in the same cart, the riders believe nothing can stand in their way. Their movement becomes headlong–faster and faster and faster. They put aside all thought of obstacles and forget that a precipice does not show itself to the man in a blind rush until it’s too late.
In 1933, Hitler signed the Reichskonkordat (Reich Concordat), a treaty with the Vatican that required the regime to honour the independence of Catholic institutions and prohibited clergy from involvement in politics.[158] However, the regime continued to target the Christian churches to weaken their influence. Throughout 1935 and 1936, hundreds of clergy and nuns were arrested, often on trumped up charges of currency smuggling or sexual offences

LOL "trumped up charges."
The Catholic Church has been a political institution for almost its entire existence. It is probably the *oldest * political institution in Europe, having existed since AD 30 according to its own history (though as you get further back in time, history starts turning into legend and mythology; it's really not clear where that line is).
During the Middle Ages, you could very well be burnt at the stake for heresy or be sent to die in the Crusades, upon the orders of the pope. And for over a millennium, the Church directly ruled over a pretty sizeable piece of territory in central Italy.
Are there still Protestants who are assmad about the "papist" Catholics? Feels like a complete anachronism like hearing slurs against the Irish and Italians.
Oh, absolutely, I know Protestants who don't consider Catholics to be Christians at all. And a large part of the current religious conservatism in America is based on these Protestant Evangelicals.
Catholics who are rooting on the Christofascists just because they are currently anti-abortion don't realize that it won't be too long before Catholics are targeted. The Christofascists never liked them anyway, they just liked their votes. Once they no longer need to rely on votes to stay in power, they don't need the Catholics anymore.
Yeah, American Protestants have hated Catholics for generations, and it's only made worse by the fact that Catholics tend, in general, to be more left-leaning than Protestants so they're now on opposite sides of the political aisle too. The fireworks when they finally start going at each other full-tilt for a change (instead of going at everyone around them) are going to be sweet indeed.
I've met Mormons who don't consider Catholics to be Christian, which is pretty fucking hilarious.
ETA: Speaking of Catholics who try to cozy up to the right-wing evangelical Protestant movement because they have common causes but don't realize they are being used... The Mormons are even further up the enemies list of the right-wing Protestants than the Catholics. And they too don't seem to be aware of this. Basically if the likes of MTG get their wish to crush gays, trans, feminists, atheists, and liberals under their boot heels, they will turn on themselves. Starting with the non-Christian religions, then the JWs, then the Mormons, then the Catholics. They will go with the lowest hanging fruit.
And soon you may ban books and newspapers, and turn Catholics against Protestants, and Protestants against Protestants, and try to foist your own religion upon the mind of man. If you can do one, you can do the other, because fanaticism and ignorance is forever busy and needs feeding.
Inherit the Wind, 1960
Oh, they absolutely still exist and they are breeding more of them.
And they talk about Catholics - the OG xtians - as not being "really real xtians".
Which is SUCH a wild take. But
Are there still Protestants who are assmad about the “papist” Catholics?
Yes, there are.
I strongly suspect right now the stuff we just saw with Vance and now MTG is an attempt to exploit existing American anti-Catholic vitriol that's been in the USA since forever. Basically, a further attempt to "divide and conquer" the USA using existing religious divides. I don't think this is just some variation of Republicans being hypocrites, I think all of this is to purposefully further an agenda to divide America further to prevent unity, this time between white Catholics and white Protestants.
The Catholic Church has absolutely done lots stuff that is wrong, in modern times and historically, but at the same time, in certain Protestant households you still have folks putting Catholics in the same sentence as Muslims and Jews when they go on their bigoted and racist screeds. They see Catholics in the same way they see black folks, Jews, Muslims, immigrants, etc. But since it's "white Christian against white Christian" people don't talk about it much, it's more acceptable to hate Catholics.
And you also get ex-Protestant/ex-religious folks who were raised like that, to see Catholics as pagan, who don't seem to realize that while there's definitely stuff the Catholic church has done wrong, there ALSO is a whole shit-ton of Protestants in the USA who simply hate Catholics because they were taught that from childhood, along with all of the other racist stuff.
They might have started to de-clutter their mind of other stereotypes or biases or racisms they grew up with, like the ones against Jews or Muslims or whatever, but don't stop to wonder about how much shit they were told about Catholics is wrong or right. So they're still susceptible to dog-whistles even if they consider themselves atheist.
And that's what Vance and MTG are doing right now, dog-whistling against yet another group in the US to prevent unity with them.
She still speaking so we all know that’s not true.
Let's see if you could make it till 88, Marge.
It is her favorite number.
Trump did and he's the president. If he can do it, anyone can do it! Trump for Pope! LOL... Not LOL, I hope he doesn't start his own religion after the 3 more years are over.
God's intervention can be observed when an 88 year old dies of natural causes.
Stupid Russian cunt.
The distance between her eyes keeps getting smaller. Or maybe its a camera effect.
My TED talk on the non-existence of god is simply me blowing a raspberry and pointing at a photo of this woman/cyst.
It took me too long to realize you didn’t mean blowing air out of your mouth onto a raspberry.
Holy fuck.
Cromagnon Taylor Green at it again
Cro-Magnon are modern humans.
Empty Greene is more Piltdown.
Marge is one of AM's creations that escaped confinement.
Not even human. Just angry protoplasm.
Y'all forgot Marge was a Qanut didn't ya
depressing comment self destructed
