Practice makes perfect.....post on....
will report back with his comments after the visit, which I am eagerly awaiting.
I don’t even try. To quote Trump about Obama, he can defend himself.
the comments, not the visit!
Yes, and the news hawks revel in every statement he makes to sow dissent within the church. They never analyze his perspective and they always surmise conclusions further than what he has stated.
Like the article said, menace or farce? he’s either malevolent or less than bright.
(sigh)
I absolutely loathe that man, he is bereft of common sense, and as much as I hate to mention the looks of someone, he looks like he’s inbred. Eww, I just don’t like him.
Don’t ever change, Rika.
The pope is blissfully bereft of the knowledge of how communism coerces and threatens people-probably doesn’t even care that Castro paid people for a day’s work and gave them food to show up and line the streets when Francis came to town...
Hillary Clinton seems to be
Bereft of sense and reason-
She keeps making jokes about
What might border on treason
Wiping servers with a cloth
And messages that disappear-
Those attempts at humor and
Flashing the driveby a sneer
Any time she gets cornered-
And just like way back when
The Cobra queen acts as though
The WH were still her den..
I’ve come to the conclusion that this pope is totally corrupted from living in a socialist/communist country, and may well be numbered among those who were considered apostate...
I just went to confession Saturday, but with the way I disagree and wish he would go back to Rome, I should probably be confessing every other day...
Rumor: Scott Walker is dropping out.
The French dog ate his master’s soft hat .... Yes, he was truly beretfed of headgear.
Jeb on the wrong side of immigration, common core and gun rights. He makes me cringe.
Wow. I had bigger hopes for him, but I haven’t liked his positions too many times.
A +++ great job!
I am bereft that it looks like yet again I will be forced to vote for the person who makes me projectile vomit the least.
( hope you have recovered from being sick)
