Chinese bureaucratic power extends into the cosmic realms, apparently.

Surely this is the Bee?

However, China's foreign ministry was quick to issue a statement, saying that the Dalai Lama's reincarnation "must be approved by the central government."

Wow. I thought this was the Bee. Hard to tell when it comes to Rats and Commies.

I can't remember the historian (I believe it was Will Durant), who said Marxism was just one of a long line of Christian heresies.

Some poor kid will be chosen if he likes it or not

[Highest Authority]

The Chinese government thinks they’re God, or, Federal judges.

China are pure evil scumbags.

“Marxism was just one of a long line of Christian heresies.”

Great analysis—whoever said it.

Communism takes every human virtue and turns it into a vice.

“Marxism was just one of a long line of Christian heresies.”

Great analysis—whoever said it.

Marx was ethnically Jewish, born to an apostate family that had converted to Christianity. Such is a very serious undertaking for a Jew, especially at that time. I'm guessing he felt pretty alienated as a child. One wonders therefore to what degree his adult philosophy was a cynical rebellion.

Is this for real?

To be fair, they haven’t demanded approval in the selection of the Pope.

But who knows? Maybe that’s on the agenda for later.

When he is identified there will be the traditional acclamation , “Hello, Dalai!”

[Jeff Chandler]

I loved Satchmo’s version.

[cowboyusa]

So we have that going for us, which is nice
🤣🤣

[MikelTackNailer]

Now if they would just forbid an alien invasion, world-wide plague and nuclear Armageddon I’d feel a lot better.

Letting me have next week’s winning Powerball numbers would be nice, too.

“To be fair, they haven’t demanded approval in the selection of the Pope”

They have demanded a veto on the selection of Catholic Bishops within China.

"The reincarnation of the Dalai Lama, the Panchen Lama and other great Buddhist figures must be chosen by drawing lots from a golden urn, and approved by the central government," Mao Ning, foreign ministry spokeswoman, said at a press briefing, Reuters reports.

This HAS to be true because no one could make up anything this stupid.

Bill Murray caddied for him!
