        Actually, it cannot so long as “that thing” sits in the big chair.

          A mob of Donald Trump fans have apparently been gathering outside St Peter’s Square for the last few days, hoping to replicate their ‘historic liberation of the Capitol building on January 6th’.

            The new Pope is JFK Jnr.

            You heard it here first.

            I was only joking

              I was close!

              He's an American, Robert Prevost. From Chicago!

                Pizzaballa can still win this if Mike Pence has the courage

                You were warned.

                    https://www.forbes.com/sites/dereksaul/2025/05/08/at-least-two-pope-bettors-made-more-than-50000-on-robert-francis-prevosts-longshot-selection/

                    On the blockchain-based site Polymarket, six users profited at least $20,000 on Prevost wagers, according to a publicly available ledger of all bets placed on Polymarket.

                    Leading those winners was a whopping $63,650.65 profit off of a $1,059.52 bet from a user named “JustPunched,” a more than 6,000% return on investment.
                    Polymarket rival Kalshi said one bettor on its platform received a $52,641 payout off of a $526 wager.

                    Prevost was a long-shot candidate on both sites before the church announced his selection, with just 1.6% and 1.8% market-implied odds of becoming the next pope as of 12 p.m. EDT on Thursday on Kalshi and Polymarket, respectively.

                    That means a $170 bet on Prevost at 12 p.m. would have netted a roughly $10,000 payout.

                      Prediction markets might not be too useful for opaque processes like this.

                      Education is extremely important.
