    I'm going to go out on a limb and say that we probably won't see RisingForce as an elected official anytime soon. However, just a tiny bit of political education here could probably prevent him from interacting with the wrong crowd online and slipping into full blown Nazism, and if one of us is able to stop him from that, that's probably about as good of a deed as anyone could hope to accomplish on a forum like this one.

    Angry FL doctor yells slurs at Hispanic man and vandalizes his car. All because he asked her to follow social distancing rules.

    Televangelist Frank Amedia say that Trump lost the presidency because God was tired of Trump's self-promotion, says God didn't like Trumps arrogance. Amedia say that Trump had many success as president but wasn't giving the glory to God.

If we all find out that Trump isn't really all that rich, why, we'll have to go back to saying Rockefeller or Bill Gates as short-hand for a rich guy.
    They're also going to check to see if there was any hanky panky with his deductions and estimated value of properties, etc. From what I understand, when he would apply for a loan at Deutsche Bank, he would use some of his properties as collateral and give them inflated worth. Then for his taxes, he'd reverse it and submit a lower value.

    I heard that My Pillow CEO Mark Lindell was sued for $1.3 billion by Dominion for spreading the lie about how the company's voting machines helped Joe Biden with the election. GOOD!

    Baby steps....

    This actually is an improvement from when evangelicals were insisting EVERYTHING about Trump was divine. Even those parts about him embodying ALL 7 of those deadly sins.

    I think Trump also borrowed and raised money for one project and used it for others, that is a felony.
    There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!

    Not to mention his having broken most of the Ten Commandments.

    I can't decide if the latest SCOTUS decisions mean the Trump appointees are reasonably less dangerous than I feared, or treacherously more dangerous than I feared.

    Both. It's absolutely both.

    Trump's appointees are GOP appointees, not MAGAt appointees. So they are the latter. They are aligned with McConnell more than Trump.

    That's certain. Trump doesn't pay attention to details enough to even know much about the candidates except for what Mitch told him. McConnell and perhaps others in his circle undoubtedly came up with a list of SCOTUS and other judicial candidates. Then let Trump know which one to nominate.

    See the Donald has got to hand over his tax returns to prosecutors.

    This is going to be interesting.
