    There’s a thing going round Dutch media circles that the pope also spoke with Mona Keijzer, Dutch Minister of housing, appointed in the current PVV trash fire government that somehow still hasn’t collapsed, and herself fairly cringe. The running gag is that if either Keijzer or Vance met the Pope at a different moment, he might still be alive instead of having died of cringe overload.

      What a horrible way to die… Having to listen to hour upon hour of “confessions” about lusting after couches, and excessively detailed descriptions of couches he had fucked… No doubt at some point the pope was begging to be raptured.

      At least he didn’t have a chat with Marjolein Faber. Otherwise he’d have retroactively died two months ago.

      Liz Truss was so horrible that if she did not actively poison the Queen, made her so digusted with UK/world as to give up all hope for life. JD, as vice anti-Christ, can have a similiar effect.

        can you imagine being a religious convert and then meeting the religious leader and that leader shortly dies… combine that with being Trump’s partner and not seeing religious revelations in these days… and yet it seems that those with the most dedication to religion are running to fill in the black hole

        Appreciate I can come across as being pedantic but she was Queen of the U.K. and the fourteen commonwealth countries that still recognise her as head of state.

          That doesn’t make her not the queen of England, though, so the other person isn’t wrong.

          The thing that makes her not the queen of England is being dead as shit.

              The full list of her titles is a short book.

              Even the “full honorifics” are usually a long and boring paragraph.

              People usually don’t use them because a) it’s annoying, b) it takes too long, and/or c) we don’t particularly want to honour her and the extremely long list of genocides that those titles are formed from.

    Truss probably met the Queen cause meeting HRH is a bollocks formal procedure that they go through to ask them if they can form a government.
