Trump 2 changed the calculus
Yeah, my hot take here is that the church wanted an American pope to be able to clap back at Trump, and try to sway some of his religious supporters.
Pope Francis was from S. America, so technically this is not the first American pope.
Quick question: what is the demonym (a word used to identify people who are from a particular place) of the people from the USA?
Yanks
USers.
US-American, often abbreviated to just American.
American. Or if we're being a little silly 'Murican.
According to English speakers who didn't understand the proper meaning of words like "continent," it's "Americans." It's stuck around now though.
According to most other languages and nations who use more accurate descriptors, it's closer to "Statesman." You know, people from the 'United States'
Personally I'd say Statesian than Statesman, but it is the same thing
US Americans
Amusingly, the very first search result I got for "US americans" is Exactly what I thought it would be
Here in Murica the colloquial meaning of an unqualified "America" is "the United States of America" its just the way we speak ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The big ol' typo in this meme makes it work even better.
Covfefe is probably served at conclvaves.
Conkla-vavies!
I'm starting to think we live in a Neal Breen movie.
No... no... NOOOOOO!!!! IT MAKES TOO MUCH SENSE!!!!!
It's a simulation, and they're just fucking with us now.
Who?
If you have 2 hours that you just really fucking hate and want them to suffer, watch “Fateful Findings” on Youtube. Someone uploaded it and since Neal Breen publishes and distributes all his own movies, Youtube doesn’t scan for them as copywritten.
Update: I watched it. This shit is up there with The Room. Distractingly awful.
That ending. I would have thought the President of Bank could have come up with an original way to off himself.
And why did Neil have to say every line twice? Why did he have to say each line twice?
Homie. He doesn't make movies. He makes ART!!!
Did your laptop survive?
They're fine, along with my title-less identical books
Don't watch it alone, it's actually mentally exhausting. I managed two alone, no more. Watch it with at least one other person so you can snark it as you watch. Fateful Findings was probably the worst. If you're not brave enough to face them alone, Kurtis Conner and Space Ice have snarks of the full films.
Also his films do get taken off YouTube for copyright. Internet archive has the full collection though.
I like to stream bad movies in the background while I work, but they can't be distractingly bad, like Ghost Rider 2 ... I'll check it out.
We need #EyesOnBreen right now
An American pope? In this economy?
It worked in Blazing Saddles 🤷
Dank reference. 🫶
Oh fun, I look forward to American gun insanity getting mixed into the Catholicism.
I'm sure the new pope is honored to have CitiesByDiana congratulating him.
Conclvave sounds like something you see a doctor about after a week locked in a room with hookers and blow.
👊 🇺🇸 🔥
This cannot be real.
It's real, this is a meme Instagram account.
Real but satirical? I'm okay with that.
I wonder if he’s going to turn himself into a sandworm.
