22. His spirituality is not a bastion of fascism.

I do see the Catholic Church that way though.

I think Trump does too.

[Cuthbert Allgood]

2. Doesn't want to die.

[orangecrush]

3. Probably

A wise decision.

[markodochartaigh]

7. To me, it looks like

Vance harassed and chased Pope Francis down knowing that he was really old and was recovering from a life-threatening illness. The stress from being confronted like that certainly could have tipped Pope Francis' fragile health over the cliff.

Isn't it basic knowledge that if you have had poor relations with a family member you refrain from confronting them when they are ill? "I don't want to upset so-and-so, just let them know that I dropped by."

[Tommy Carcetti]

4. It's a miracle.

I actually legitimately laughed at a Babylon Bee joke.

[orangecrush]

6. ...

[hlthe2b]

5. He's a mighty smart man...

[djacq]

8. DL knows what's up

[Martin68]

9. The word is out. Vance is bad news. And bad for the health of elderly spiritual leaders.

[FoxNewsSucks]

10. Smart. Very smart.

[orangecrush]

12. I'd love to watch the Lamas

Sweep up the Trump administration's sand mandala.

[FoxNewsSucks]

15. That's really cool,

I'd seen a video of the sand paintings they do a while back, and it's so impressive

[GP6971]

31. Could be...one never knows.

[malaise]

33. It's freaking hilarious

That is all

[LetMyPeopleVote]

38. Welcome to DU

[live love laugh]

11. Welp the Pope died right after meeting him soooo ....

[lame54]

13. G.R. Vance...

Grim Reaper

[Figarosmom]

14. Its fake but funny

Who was the right wingers that meet with Queen Elizabeth the day before she died? Oh yeah it was Liz truss the short timer as PM, and it was 2 days before she died.

Maybe they are killing off left wing world leaders

[3Hotdogs]

18. It was last year, Lizzie was a guest panelist or lecturer or whatever. In the middle of her presentation,

a screen dropped down. It had a drawing of a head of lettuce. She got pissed and left the venue.

[BurnDoubt]

16. Angel (?) Of Death.

[BigmanPigman]

17. I have no respect for him due to Nxivm and the cult

that paid him to speak and endorse literature for the sex cult Nxium/Keith Reniere.
https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2020/08/9971298/did-the-dalai-lama-endorse-nxivm-cult.

"On May 6, 2009, the Dalai Lama arrived in Albany, New York to speak on the topic of compassionate ethics during difficult times at the inaugural World Ethical Foundations Consortium conference that would be attended by 3,000 NXIVM members at Palace Theatre. High ranking members of NXIVM joined him on stage. At one point, the Dalai Lama placed a traditional ceremonial Tibetan scarf, known as a khata, around the Raniere’s neck. The WEFC was a non-profit organization established by Raniere alongside sisters and NXIVM members, Sara and Clare Bronfman. Sara in particular is credited with helping book the Dalai Lama to speak at the event, thanks to her relationship with his “personal emissary of peace” to the United States, Lama Tenzin Dhonden. Some allege that she was romantically involved with Dhonden."

23. Never heard about this

[BigmanPigman]

27. It was a surprise to me as well.

I didn't even know about that sex cult until after their dear leader Keith was already sent to jail for 120 years.

When I watched the HBO series about his sex cult where women branded each other on their crotch area with his initials did I become aware that such a thing was in the news and I missed it for several years somehow.
The Vow on HBO and Catherine Oxenberg showed how they got this evil monster convicted and it took a lot of time and money since Keith manipulated millionaires into giving him their fortunes so they could be in his cult. Catherine Oxenberg was fooled and then her own daughter joined the cult, got branded and had female sex slaves of her own. Freaky! For the Dalai Lama to be conned into getting money, speaking with him and writing a plug for his cult was astounding. I guess everyone can be fooled.

[orangecrush]

28. Quite interesting

Thanks for the info!

[Celerity]

19. Fake news. No such meeting was scheduled between Dalai Lama and JD Vance. Also, The Babylon Bee is a RW satire site.

https://www.wionews.com/world/fact-check-did-dalai-lama-cancel-meeting-with-us-vp-jd-vance-after-pope-francis-death-8989768

Fact check

The claim made above is fake. No such meeting was scheduled between Dalai Lama and JD Vance.

Moreover, The Babylon Bee is a satirical news website, that sometimes post fake news as per its satirical take on events.

“The Babylon Bee is the world’s best satire site, totally inerrant in all its truth claims. We write satire about Christian stuff, political stuff, and everyday life," The Babylon Bee wrote in its About section.

“If you would like to complain about something on our site, take it up with God,” it added.

[FSogol]

34. Next you'll tell us The Onion isn't real either.

[Celerity]

36. It's so dismaying that this OP is still up. Also dismaying is how many times these type of OPs get put up here and how

many fall for them. The level of discernment here is distressingly low for far too many at certain times, as is the lack of vetting by far too many OP posters.

[FSogol]

37. When someone posts a Meme, that isn't their personal guarantee that it is the truth. It is intended as a joke.

Nothing to get worked up about.

[Celerity]

41. It was not posted as a meme. It was never identified as satire. Look at many replies in the thread. They accepted it

as real.

[fujiyamasan]

24. I know it's fake

But it’s creepy how death has followed this guy. He’s in India and 20+ people end up dead in a terrorist attack.

JD reaper!

[orangecrush]

25. Very strange indeed

[NJCher]

26. Look at the Pope's face

I enlarged it to see the expression.

He looks surprised?

If anyone else looks, please tell what you think his expression means.

I’m not sure I got it right with surprised.

[orangecrush]

29. The "how did you get past security" look

[NJCher]

32. That's it!

[orangecrush]

45. ...

[Ping Tung]

35. It probably isn't true but if it was it may have been to protect the innocence of his couches.

39. The internet is having fun with vance killing the pope

Normally this type of meme dies after a day or so but so far the internet is still having fun







Who wants this shirt?

I like this hat

[orangecrush]

40. Awesome

Thanks

[ShazzieB]

43. Highly entertaining!

Especially the action figures!

I have to quibble with one of these, though.

KT "Special MI6 Operation" wrote: "Pope dies after meeting the most disgusting individual to ever set foot in the Vatican." But I'm not sure the last part is true. After all, Trump visited the Vatican in 2017!

[malaise]

44. Love it
