> [@kenobi\_65](#): > > If he really does (versus just blathering to the press), it’d surprise me. Everything I’ve always read about Trump indicate that he’s not religious, likely doesn’t believe in the afterlife, and certainly is not a person of faith. I suspect that that’s part of why he’s so focused on success and gain in the mortal world, because to him, that’s all there is. He’s a narcissist facing death. Of course now he believes in the afterlife, because he can’t deal with the idea that his time is near. ---

I’m wondering how many high clerics are waiting in the wings ready to convince Donald he can get into Heaven if he donates enough money? For that matter, has he ever actually donated anything, other than to his own self-interests? ---

(And that “fix” will break two other unrelated things. Oops. Wouldn’t be easier if we just instituted a subscription service? And of course we’ll need to increase the cost of service every 6 months. See how customer focused we are!?) 😒 ---

More like “If it works, it will work for us - the Rich and Powerful, and will be taken away from all others. Because greed is good, because Ayn Rand told us so.” ---

And his response will be to promise to leave everything he has to them in his will. Then change the will. He’ll be in heaven before they notice they’ve been stiffed and if God objects he can tie them up in court for the next millenia. ---

I hope he lives and the 3rd term / cancellation of the vote is fought out. 3rd term has to mean a Civil War and JD (almost certain) running on a sympathy vote against a paddle-holding Dem to be named (not Schumer) can be like 10 more years of GOP. Hegseth could try yet someone’s gotta run the martial law. ---

“Sliding door for easy access” for a bed makes me think of a bomb door for shitting without getting up. ---
