Fake Hillbilly JD Vance (or whatever his name is) met with the Pope.
Then the Pope died.
Coincidence?

Pope Francis was the most progressive Pope in my lifetime. Sad that the last visitor he had is so regressive.

Either the Pope mustered just enough remaining strength to give JD a strong talking-to, or he got so fed up after meeting him that the Pope was like **** it I give up.

IF? The left is a conspiracy.

It is not some conspiracy theory. It is a social media meme level political swipe at Vance, and while mildly humorous, it is still sad that it is competing with, in some ways clouding the subject of, the loss of a Pope.

Good one!

Your opinion.
Pope Francis has also received his share of criticism in and outside of the Church for his liberal stances on social and political issues. A departure from Church teachings and usually conservative leanings.
Regardless, I will mourn his passing and pray for his soul.

Yes, he disgracefully suggested un-Christ like compassion towards the gay community, and mentioned the obligation Jesus commanded to welcome strangers. How dare he?

The Left thrives on conspiracy theories and has for a long time. Where do you think the “Deep State” came from?

Never heard any left leaning person use that phrase. Only right wingers.

What do you mean by "if"? It's all you do--Russia collusion, 6 January insurrection, Trump is a fascist, Trump is a king, Trump is overthrowing democracy, Trump is destroying the economy, etc.

CTs from the first page of this forum:

• Trump says black people should live in raw sewage.
• It’s science: Trump voters are dumb
• Meet the 8 MAGA Outlets Disrupting the White House Briefing Room
• Social Security Benefits To Be Interrupted Soon: Ex-Administrator
• The right-wing wants us to have more white babies, but who wants to bring them into their racist, misgynistic world?

It was because Vance isn't Catholic.

Pope Francis was the most progressive Pope in my lifetime.

You did not live during John Paul II?

Sad that the last visitor he had is so regressive.

You have been extremely regressive this year.

It's as if you had a Trump-is-always-wrong conspiracy theory.

Nah it’s not even close to being a symmetric situation. By all objective measures, conservatives are far more prone to conspiracy theories- and the reasons why have been studied extensively. It’s a very odd phenomenon.

“Results confirm that conservatives have lower sensitivity than liberals, performing worse at distinguishing truths and falsehoods. This is partially explained by the fact that the most widely shared falsehoods tend to promote conservative positions, while corresponding truths typically favor liberals. The problem is exacerbated by liberals’ tendency to experience bigger improvements in sensitivity than conservatives as the proportion of partisan news increases. These results underscore the importance of reducing the supply of right-leaning misinformation.”

Can Vance please go visit Putin?

Agreed. The left has been far worse recently.

It's another of your conspiracy theories.

Falsehoods like, "Joe Biden is sharp as a tack." or, "Trump is a fascist."

The article calls news partisan, so it's not completely wrong.
