I think Trump went after Jimmy Kimmel...

When he cut funding for pediatric heart defect research. Someone in his administration must have realized that Trump could exact revenge for Kimmel’s years of ridicule by cutting funds for pediatric heart defects research since Jimmy’s child was born with a heart defect. It is known that Kimmel’s son had a defect and required surgery; Kimmel has spoken publicly about this.

What do you think?

7. After a stroke, and having anti virals pumped into him

I 100% believe he had a stroke from covid, and it was covered up. If not a stroke it was a transient ischemic attack.

Religious people told me that was proof of his good deeds and that god spared his life and how much he would change for the better.

8. What if God is not all good?

Just sayin'.

If we are made in God's image, why think God is all good? We're not.

If God is made in our image (which is what I believe), God is definitely not all good.

Atheism is the only path that ever made any sense to me.

"If we are made in God's image, why think God is all good? We're no"
Judaism and Christianity have an answer for that, but I wouldn't expect it to convince you.
I don't have time tonight to look through my computer and try to find a cartoon I may or may not have saved, so I'll describe it This guy has just gotten to heaven, and he is speaking to what appears to be a chimpanzee or maybe a gorilla on the celestial throne (we see it from behind so I can't be sure.) The guy says, " thought you made us in your own image." The figure says, "I did. You evolved."

15. I would like to think that Trump isn't that petty, but then we're talking about Trump here, so anything goes.

Punishing tens of thousands of kids to get back at one person is possible with him.
Especially now as he sinks deeper into dementia. His lovelessness is on display every day.

16. Petty I can buy...well informed not so much.

It is a sad thing to rely on Presidential ignorance and laziness to save people and programs. And he has enough bad actors around him that it's not an effective strategy.
