This quote is insane after this last week…
It feels like someone is giving him terrible advice, like trying to actively sabotage his base. The Daily Show had a bit about him looking tired and not trying to lie anymore. It sort of feels like that too. Maybe he just really doesn’t care.
Bonkers week on this front.
John 13:34, Matthew 5:9, Matthew 26:52, Luke 6:27
The Pope is right to bring Jesus’ word to light here, if Vance is truly faithful. I wish you peace, verily.
My point. He is infallible, specifically in this matter.
If a core Catholic belief is the pope is infallible, especially in the domain of theology & religion, then why is Vance saying any of this? Sure seems like his “Catholicism” is name alone or perhaps his faith is more Protestant than he wants to admit. Or, he has values above his faith, and for a Catholic, that seems worse.
Whatever, Jan.
Edit: I’m ex-Catholic. I don’t need a theology lesson about the specifics. What the Pope is expressing here is within the domain of church doctrine.
Stop trying to defend fascists with pedantic details.
Yeah, I don’t get how JD internalizes the Pope. For a Catholic, the Pope is supposed to be a/The voice of God. Looks like JD got no reverence for what God is trying to communicate.
Really funny to see a man dedicate his life to these values just to see him say, “God, can you not give me guidance right now? I’m doing war stuff.”
John 13:34, homie. Sorry Jan—your homeboy said it, not me.

Operation Cyclone again? I thought we already did this episode…
I have good friends that are Kurdish immigrants who fled Saddam, but this won’t work. It’ll be the same shit, arming another group, spreading wars, and creating ripple effects we can’t perceive.
I recreated a website on the anti-Christ into a slide deck. It has biblical quotes for identifying the AC. I would argue there’s more evidence for a particular reading that may not align with a MAGA Republican’s reading.
I’m not a Christian, but I believe the Bible is being used terribly by modern Christians. It has for a long time.
Jeopardy: what is “a concentration camp”?
Rhetorically speaking, can we please not give them marketing campaigns? They would run this.
Gaming literacy is a real thing. Most people who didn’t grow up with 3D games don’t intuitively understand it. I’ve seen many boomers either stare at their feet or the ceiling & they have no clue how to solve their situation because they are disoriented. Same with young kids learning.
It feels like this is a rage bait engagement ploy. Frontload the video with bullshit (again, projecting, because these same claims are levied against the last election in favor of 47), then put some rage bait shit at the end that the press runs too. The outrage bounces off of Teflon while his audience & the people pissed signal boost / raise engagement.
Why is “don’t” censored a bunch in the Epstein file? I wonder… 🤔
See Trump 1, week 1, “alternative facts.”
Doublespeak, as someone said.
I was included in this. Was laid off back in June 2025. One of the best places I ever worked.
The industry is super tough. I got very lucky & started a new job at the beginning of the month. Being out of work for 6 months sucked, and some people I mentor have been out much longer.
For years, I’ve heard people say, “What? You want to outlaw wealth?”
This level of wealth? Yes. Tax it at 99% above 1bn.
You won the money game. Stop playing it. Help society.
Billionaire math
Average USA billionaire has about $7b in wealth.
2026 * 365 = 739,490
$7,000,000,000 / 739,490 = $9,465.98
You would need to make $9k per day, for 2026 years, to catch up to the average billionaire wealth right now.
It’s estimated in 2026 that it would cost $37b to end world hunger until 2030.
Also note that Musk, Bezos, and other extreme billionaires are up to 100x of the average here ($700b for Musk). Who is making $900k per day?
This is not natural, it’s not rational, and it’s completely bullshit. You can come up with whatever distraction you want (“wealth & income aren’t the same”), but we should be taxing every dollar above $1b at 99% or higher.
30 years * 365 day = 10,950
$1,000,000,000 / 10,950 = $91,324.20
I could easily live off of $91k per DAY for 30 YEARS.
If you put these numbers against a human time scale we can understand, I don’t see the argument for this level of wealth, especially not as people go hungry, without clothes or food, and children die.
“Not sure why” = American propaganda against “communism”
