JD literally woke up one morning and decided to debate theology with the fucking Vicar of Christ.

I can respect debate but that’s not what happened here. This is a blasphemous tantrum. “I’m not wrong, God is.”

You don’t get to join a cult then bitch you aren’t in charge.

INNNNN THIS CORNER, wearing all white and a skull cap, he's the Vicar of Christ, the Bishop of Rome, the SUCCESSOR to the Price of the Apostles, iiiiiiiIIIITS POPE LEO THE FOURTEENTH!!

And in THIS CORNER, wearing a tailored suit and red tie, Couch fucker, white trash cosplayer and world's worst negotiator, John Dilbert Vaaaaaaance!

Pretty sure they would ring him up as the Undefeated Champion, The one, The only, Pope Killing, Couching Fucking Monster Jack Daniels.... (What that's not what it means?)...John Dilbert

Had to look it up myself

James David Vance (born James Donald Bowman

Looks like he had him a gender-affirming name change.

This would be fantastic. We can even honor Leo’s Chicago roots by playing Alan Parsons Project during his intro.

Sometimes I think that if there was an anti-Christ, they wouldn’t be aware that they were the anti-Christ. If that’s the case, JD Vance would be the perfect candidate.

I think it's a plan to keep their names mentioned in media, free advertising of sorts...

Maybe you don’t want to tie your name to this news cycle
