Pope Francis Wouldn’t Leave Earth Without Confronting Trump’s Evil Head On
A beautiful man stares into the vile, mascaraed eyes of our national nightmare and doesn’t blink.
In Italian, it is called “Il bacio della morte.” It means the kiss of death. In the iconic scene, Michael Corleone aggressively kisses his brother and informs him that “he knows it was him.” If you have never seen The Godfather, I say no more. JD Vance, looking pretty in a gentle hue of springtime mascara, was granted an audience on Easter Sunday with Pope Francis less than 24 hours after the Pope had declined to meet with him.
It will go down in world history as “L’incontro della morte,” or “the meeting of death.” JD Vance met with the ailing pontiff for only a few minutes but managed to threaten the great and saintly man several times by offering him his “best wishes” and, fatally, “I pray for you every day.” It was those words, a call to the dark forces of all that is rancid, weak, and evil in humans, that served as the executioner’s bullet. Within hours after Vance passed on his bad energy to the pope by shaking his frail hand, a hand that represents the goodness of God in more ways than Vance, Trump, or anyone aligned with MAGA could ever perceive, he breathed his last.
