Hands off the people’s pope, MAGA scum:

Elbridge “Bridge” Colby, an upper-class nepo baby and weasel of the Groton/Harvard/Yale variety and a right-wing Opus Dei-lite Catholic like his pal JD Vance, summoned the Vatican’s representative to the U.S. to the Pentagon for a Mafia-like threat, according to the New Republic.

“The United States,” Colby said, according to a blistering new report by The Free Press, “has the military power to do whatever it wants in the world. The Catholic Church had better take its side.” One U.S. official present at the meeting brought up the Avignon papacy, a period in the 14th century in which the French monarchy bent the Catholic Church into submission, ordering an attack on Pope Boniface VIII that led to his downfall and subsequent death and forcing the papacy to relocate from Rome to Avignon, a region inside France.

Do you fucking believe it? They’re basically threatening Pope Leo with another handpicked false pope if he doesn’t hop to Trump’s command. Boy, does this stink of smelly Steve Bannon.

What’s the matter, boys? Aren’t the hundreds of evangelical whores who praise Trump as a virtual God and kiss his orange ass enough to fill the massive hole?

Go ahead, I dare you. If there’s anything that will drive fallen-away Catholics back to the Church, it will be finding out that Trump had his goons threaten Pope Leo.

America!

Last week, the cancer surgeon prescribed Tramadol pain pills for my fractured vertebrae, but the CVS told me they would only give me three weeks’ worth without a prior authorization from the doctor. Is this a CVS thing, or does it happen everywhere?

Anyway, I cut them in half because I’m sensitive to most drugs. Boy, was I right! It was the first time in four months that I wasn’t in constant pain (it even got rid of the arthritis pain in my thumbs) BUT I was high as proverbial kite. Or drone. So I can be pain-free, but won’t have my functional wits about me.

So I decided to cut the halves in half again. (Not easy, because the pills are oval.) They took the edge off the pain, but I still felt woozy. I decided I would not take them today.

But here’s the weird thing. Everything hurts even more without them. It’s only been three days. Are the pills engineered to keep me taking them? I know that happens with oxycontin. Oh well.
