You gotta remember - the Catholic Church has a history of cozying up with fascism (WWII) or participating in genocide (the Inquisition, the Crusades). Nuns for tRump surprises me not at all.

No, they're a right-wing successionist order, for whom the answer to the question, "Is the Pope Catholic?" is "No."
@evamarie @CanisPundit
The Church coming to Japan, China and South America was not a good thing.
I used the novel "Shogun," as a catalyst to read about The Church in Asia.
BIXIE HATES RICHARD CHAMBERLAIN AND CATHOLICS WORSHIP ME AS A GOD I SAY THBPT THBPT THBPT

In the past, I was telling Eva that I like Western Civ history.
Boy, was The Church evil.
Get Starz and watch some TV:
I’m familiar with the Medicis so I’m very much looking forward to watching this show.
Looks HAWT (or wikkid sick bro as the Massholes say).
Was it as HAWT (wikkid sick bro) as this?
😏
@InUnfunky @evamarie @CanisPundit
Fallout, I enjoyed it.
No one told me.
I bet you forgot that the Sarita chick was in "Mississippi Masala." HAWT
@InUnfunky @evamarie @CanisPundit
Also, go to Madrid and see Hieronymus Bosch's The Garden of Earthly Delights. I was lucky to get a tour of it & other works before the museum opened for the day.
Can't I just sit here in SE VT and listen to the Porcupine Tree guy remix of this, instead?
@InUnfunky @evamarie @CanisPundit
You & V. could do it. The kids are adults. Go to Europe for 2 months.
You think the chicks at the Pint would let me go away for 2 MONTHS? I get shit from them for taking 2 NON-CONSECUTIVE DAYS off!
🤣🙄🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😁😁🤣🤣🤣
@InUnfunky @evamarie @CanisPundit
Tell them to, "kiss your arse."
Bring out some British language.
"Today in local news, beloved busy burger and brew joint closed because the grill guy decided to traipse about Europe. Also, all Dunkins in town received an 'F' during health inspection. All this and more tonight, pictures at 11!"
All joking aside, that ain't how restaurants work, Bixatudinal. The "daytime prep manager" thinks he's some white-collar shit, takes 2.5 weeks off during the summer when most busy to go to ME. WTF
And I don't "vacation," B. 😎
@InUnfunky @evamarie @CanisPundit
Trey. I recommend vacations. If work sends me somewhere, I stay longer on my own dime for sightseeing.

“Pesta kommer”—“The plague is coming”. Illustration by Theodor Kittelsen ~ ca.1894 Nasjonalmuseet Oslo
Today’s book maintains that the plague has always been here.
No, not Camoo. 😏

My work friend is going on a 14-day cruise of fishing villages of Norway. I'm jealous.
Tell said friend to find Johnny Ray AKA Trey In Oslo -- My Fellow Flurduh Man In Exile, International Edition -- and tell him "Trey says you're A DIIIIIIIIIICKKK." Also "I'll put the 'CZ' on the cheeks of your LIFE." He'll get it.
I’ve got family in Finland and Denmark, but I’ve started a new job and don’t have enough vacation time for a proper trip.
First world problems, I know.
Same here but AL, GA, and FL.
(Not that I want to go back there, just sayin.')
Also, 6 cats.
😆
NTM -- for those of you lovely nauts who don't know...that's not how restaurants -- particularly small mom n' pops -- work. So now you know. 😮 😀
Lolz hey Bixelicious, check out Sheriff “Hanging” Chad arresting peeps at me olde alma materz. Does he even Mar A Lardo, bro?
Flurduh men apparently can’t help themselves.
@CanisPundit There are several species of penguins, each with unique characteristics that can help distinguish them from one another. Here are some key features to look for when identifying different penguin species: 1. Size: Penguins vary in size, with some species being larger than others. For example, the Emperor Penguin is the largest penguin species, while the Little Blue Penguin is the smallest. 2. Coloration: Pay attention to the color patterns on the penguins' bodies, as they can vary between species. Some penguins have distinct markings or coloration on their heads, chests, or backs that can help differentiate them. 3. Habitat: Different penguin species inhabit specific regions or environments. For example, the Emperor Penguin is found in Antarctica, while the Galapagos Penguin is found in the Galapagos Islands. Knowing where the penguins are located can help narrow down the possibilities. 4. Behavior: Observe the behavior of the penguins, as each species may exhibit unique behaviors such as breeding rituals, foraging techniques, or vocalizations that can be characteristic of that species. 5. Bill shape: The shape and size of a penguin's bill can also help identify its species. For example, the Adélie Penguin has a short, pointed bill, while the Chinstrap Penguin has a thin, black line running under its chin. 6. Flipper size and shape: The size and shape of a penguin's flippers can differ between species. Some species have longer or wider flippers, which can be a distinguishing feature. By paying attention to these characteristics and doing further research on specific penguin species, you can improve your ability to distinguish between different types of penguins.
@Satchelpooch good on @Bix memory, but it’s like saying ale versus lager, they’re both beers. @evamarie

Plus, think of Leonard Leo... the Federalist Society.

Religion has been corrupt and ripped Europe apart.
But, if I remember correctly, these are not Catholic nuns.
