I can't believe they are giving him a total pass for this.

They screamed "UNFIT TO LEAD" when Biden had a cold.

You are idiot. He was praying.

Correct. Very liberal me and my very liberal spouse were watching the convention on TV and he did indeed look down during a moment of prayer. He was faking of course because he doesn’t have a religious bone in his body, but he was not asleep.

Why does it bother you so much that he might be praying?

Why are you so deluded that you think he WOULD be praying for real?

Why does it bother you that I believe he was praying for real?

I don't care what you believe since you are an anonymous stranger. But I am bothered by the mass delusion that has overcome the religious members of MAGA who seem to sincerely believe that Trump is a godly man when, in word and deed, he is the antithesis of one.

By contrast, MAGA vilifies Biden, a guy who routinely goes to mass every week and has been doing so for decades. They also make cracks about Jimmy Carter (those that still remember him), who is a devout Evangelical and "has taught Sunday school at Maranatha Baptist Church in his hometown of Plains, Georgia, since the 1980s." Why do Republicans tend to think that their presidents are religious but not Democrat ones? Partisan groupthink, that's why:

"Even among Biden’s fellow Catholics, partisanship permeates views of Biden’s religion. Nine-in-ten Democratic and Democratic-leaning Catholics say they think Biden is at least somewhat religious, including half who say he is “very” religious. Among Republican and Republican-leaning Catholics, by contrast, a 56% majority say Biden is “not too” or “not at all” religious. And while eight-in-ten Catholic Democrats say they think Biden discusses his faith “about the right amount,” barely half as many Catholic Republicans say the same (42%)."

So, MAGA Republicans have “mass delusion” because they don’t think what you think? Maybe they see Trump in a very different light. Maybe they are aware of all of the kind and generous things that he has done for other people throughout his life.

Personally, I don’t have any opinions about anyone’s faith or religiosity. I can’t know what’s in someone else’s heart. I don’t think you can either.

Please cite some examples of the bolded. I think we would all love to learn about these instances of kindness and generosity.

I highly doubt that you would love to learn about some of these, but here you go…

Check those dates. 1988!?!?! Come on.

There are plenty of newer ones. Come on. I just picked a website. I thought you would like.

Anything about Biden doing anything nice for anyone at all ever?

He tried to offer condolences to the widow of the victim from the shooting on Saturday, for starters.

Because he is president and it was not welcomed by her. Anything that he actually accomplished that the person benefitted from? ANYthing? There must be something…

I know he has done a lot for the Anchor Fund to help battered women when he was a senator and vice president. I don't know of what he has done since becoming president.

I would like to hear something that he did during the first 75 years of his life that didn’t involve spending other people’s money and get him votes in return. Just a kind thing that was appreciated by someone in need.

This is so exhausting. If you don't like his policies, just say you don't like his policies. The man has dedicated his life to public service. He could have left and made hundreds of millions of dollars. I just feel like Trumpsters can't have an intellectually honest conversation. Let's talk policy. What exactly is Trump going to do to decrease housing costs (local issue), decrease inflation (federal reserve issue), decrease the cost of gas (reduce state gas taxes?), reduce healthcare costs, help education (make every kid go to an unregulated charter school?), teach history (oh yeah, can't do that anymore b/c it makes white people feel bad that they had slaves), deport all immigrants (you think you have high inflation now - just wait). Help me out here. What are his actual policies going to be? He wants a Christian nation (hell no) and eliminate women's choices (oh that will get me to vote for him!)

So, not one kind thing that Biden has ever done.

This is not about what Biden has done, it's asking what Trump policies you support. Biden passed the infrastructure bill (HUGE!), Chips and Science Act, Inflation Reduction Act (only important if you believe in climate change) and tried to get student loans forgiven (I paid mine off, but I make a huge amount of money), expanded lower cost for insulin and has passed a law to be able to reduce prescription costs (big PHARMA is fighting him tooth and nails). He's tried to protect a woman's right to choose, he believes in civil rights. Those policies are important to me.

That's what he did. What are Trump's policies that you support? Bashing Biden doesn't count.

So, do you want to just completely change the subject. I don’t understand how it is bashing Biden to ask if he’s ever performed a kind act. The Trump bashing is nonstop. But Trump has done many kind things. I was just asking if Biden did anything kind.

I don’t see the point in discussing policies since I don’t think we will ever agree.

Agree? Of course we do not all agree. The point of a democracy is to settle the disagreements by discussing and then voting instead of violence.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/trump-shares-image-depicting-biden-tied-back-pickup-truck-rcna145712

Former President Donald Trump shared a video on social media Friday that included an image of President Joe Biden bound and restrained in the back of a pickup truck.

The 20-second video, which Trump indicated was taken Thursday in Long Island, New York, shows a truck emblazoned with "Trump 2024" and a large picture depicting Biden tied up and lying on his side.

There are thousands, and thousands, and thousands, of instances of him suggesting violence against his political opponents. Just, countless instances of it.

This is my favorite:

“We pledge to you that we will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country that lie and steal and cheat on elections,” Trump said toward the end of his speech, repeating his false claims that the 2020 election was stolen. “They’ll do anything, whether legally or illegally, to destroy America and to destroy the American Dream.”

Also this one: “IF YOU GO AFTER ME, I’M COMING AFTER YOU!”

You are right. This study of over 13,000 his Truth Social postings from January 1, 2023 to April 1, 2024, found that "while Trump has recently backed off some of his more violent rhetoric, threatening political opponents has been a consistent fixation for Trump. Since the start of last year, Trump has issued direct or implied threats on Truth Social to use the powers of the federal government to target Joe Biden during a second Trump administration 25 times. Specifically, Trump has threatened him with FBI raids, investigations, indictments and even jail time. But Biden is not Trump’s only target. He’s also threatened or suggested that the FBI and the Department of Justice should take action against senators, judges, members of Biden’s family and even non-governmental organizations."

The Bidens also donated roughly 3.5% of their income, or $20,180, to 20 charities, including one associated with U.S. police unions.

Before he was Vice President
https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=5791846&page=1

He also routinely volunteers time on MLK day and other days like Christmas and thanksgiving.

You too can use the google machine!

Oh my gosh, did you even look at your own links? ABC story is about how over 10 year period, the Bidens gave an average of $369 per year to charity. $185 for Joe alone.

Maybe you could find a story where he held a door open for someone? Or helped someone with their coat?

You can find hundreds if not thousands of stories like that on google. Where he was a speaker for a non-profit to raise money for them, where he donated money, where he volunteered at non profits including "soup kitchens" and the list goes on. Why don't you look for the stories? They are certainly there.

And remember that time he bought a gigantic portrait of himself from a charity then wrote it off from his taxes?

"Soup kitchen" - lol. Mr Charitable. Guess the millions he owes to the woman he raped will probably dip into his charitable giving this year. Oh no it won't, because he actually is the stingiest mofo around.

I guess you prefer people who throw paper towel rolls as president.

+1 there are apparently millions of American ms who are fine with a dictator. A poster here yesterday said she was fine with Trump not leaving or creating legislation that presidents can serve 2 terms every time they are elected. Bread and circuses for all!
