He turned his head, not tilted it.

Why would America be in flames?

Corey is beyond prayer, but his family could use it.

Not according to Catholics. We continually pray for the souls of the departed. Purgatory is part of our faith.

Orthodox too. Prayer is efficacious for all souls, whether they are experiencing a foretaste of heaven or hell until the final judgement.

That is why traditionally in foreign cultures, one said "may God have mercy on his/her soul" , though I do think that "rest in peace" has the same intention, though not as clear.

My mother's 106th birthday anniversary was Thurs. I prayed for her soul that day (and sent note to brothers and children suggesting same). Protestant here. Nothing to do with doctrine, just moved to offer prayer.

Members of the Latter Day Saints also pray for the souls of the departed but they don't tolerate queers and child molesters in their pulpits.

No one is deprived of God's mercy if repentant.

Having repented multiple times, I've never gotten a return receipt.

I was given an autonomic nervous system to handle that.

"Why would America be in flames (if Trump was ended)"?

.... I think you're right, right-wing America would have done nothing. We're too soft and would stay at home.

The GOP would put up Nikki Zion Hally who would continue the hollowing out of any Christian influence in our govt. There will be no revolution...

As I’ve said,there will necessarily be some killing in our future. But to wake the sleeping or one eye open giant that is us, it will take something so egregious…

Killing president trump would do it. Prettysure

Trump's weakness (?) is that he actually has a heart when it comes to his competition having lost. He is extrembly competitive, but feels for the loser. It is a good trait, a leadership trait.

I am sorry that you take my words as being that of an adoring fan. 🤭Obviously you have not read my many posts of honest critiques about certain things he has done or said. 🤔

I am not a blind fan of anyone!!

I am. however, entitled to my observations which include RFKJR being a man of integrity and reason.

I base my assumption on Trump from when he was running on 'getting Hillary' for her illegal actions in 2016. After she LOST to him, his rhetoric turned nice, going as far as saying that she and Bill were good people.

While anyone in politics or business is an opportunist, I still stand by my observation. I think that he hates losing because of his competitive ego, but he is gracious to those who he has lost to.

In any case, what does it matter? If you think that Biden is better for your vision of the country, then, by all means, vote for him. It is your prerogative. I wouldn't insult you for it!

Also, with all due respect, saying that I do not have the ability to be a critical thinker is extremely insulting and offensive, and just as much as if I were to say you have TDS.

Nikki Zion Hally (sic) isn't a natural born citizen any more than Marco Rubio is.

You believe that Lincoln's treason should have been made the gold standard for political behavior?
