   Blasphemy and heresy are not, and cannot be, crimes in the US, and do not constitute "high crimes and misdemeanors" that would be grounds for impeachment (see Article VI and Amendment 1 of the Constitution). So Trump and Vance are free, under US law, to continue their weird kerfuffle with the Pope.

   Ignoring the constitution, unilaterally starting wars, rampant corruption, and gross incompetence, however, are a different story.

     @PiiiepsBrummm @sundhaug92 @adamshostack He’s so far tied with Henry for divorces, but Henry remains ahead for spousal beheadings.

     @sundhaug92 @adamshostack @mattblaze
     I lost count. Did he already pass Henry on the number of wifes? And how about the beheading?

     With MAGA he already started a cult. No big step to become a church there.

     OTOH he probably would be proud to be compared to Henry.

     Steve's Place repeated this.

     @adamshostack @mattblaze OTOH Trump is well into the Henry VIII way if mistreating women

     @mattblaze I mean, you only say that because you don't remember that the last guy who feuded with a Pope like this ended up establishing his own Church, and that's a clear violation of the 1st A.
