    Biden is a devout Catholic who attends mass every week, yet you abhor him.

    I think that's the only AC/DC song that I like.

    I doubt he'll go to any jail, but if he does, it will be a "club fed" facility similar to the one where Martha Stewart did time. It's much more likely, given that he's a former president, that he'll get an anklet and be put on house arrest.

    Since that is without precedent, you can't claim it as truth.

    The basis for this move to change that statute is that sending a former president to prison creates a unique problem: how do we provide a Secret Service detail inside a jail? The general question here is that, if convicted of a felony or two (or three or four), should taxpayers foot the bill for a lifetime of SS protection for a former POTUS? It only seems like it's "picking on poor Trump" because his actions are unprecedented.

    Trump is not now, nor has he ever been, a victim, regardless of his endless, childish whinging about it.

    Please, no ... that place is too close to home. ;-)

    I don't think he'll do time, even if convicted.

    I have never commented on his religious background. Please don't make things up or accuse me of things I haven't done..

    You can't be a devout Catholic while supporting abortion. It's like being a devout Muslim while supporting cartoons of Mohammed and gay sex.

    Biden's role as a world leader makes his burden even higher when he represents Catholics on a world stage.

    First off I don't know anyone who "supports abortion". Did you mean he supports the right to choose? Second, why can't a person, who is pro choice, be a devout catholic? Are you saying in order to be a devout catholic one must follow every tenet of the catholic religion? If so then there is hardly anyone who is a devout catholic...if anyone at all.

    Everyone, most everyone, knows President Biden is Catholic that attends Mass weekly, but I don't see it influencing his Presidential decisions.

    He can be against abortion personally, like discouraging the First Lady from having one (not likely). But as President he can choose to NOT influence how the government takes a stand on abortion rights.

    And he, personally does not support abortion.

    However, he is not a deranged lunatic, and understands that he is running a multi cultural population, and he maybe ought to not enforce his personal religious beliefs upon the masses.

    Unlike most republicans.

    You can't be a devout catholic while supporting abortion. He's literally in Florida right now complaining that 6 weeks to kill a baby isn't enough time. That's not what a "devout catholic" is about.

    So, he should be enforcing his religious opinion on all of America, otherwise he isnt a devout catholic./

    Is that your stance?

    He or his aides simply shouldn't bring up or tell people he is a devout catholic. Pretty simple. It's like having a guy at the bar do a commercial for AA and tell everyone how well it worked for him.

    Your just saying that because you know republicans hung themselves with abortion, and would rather not have to talk about it imo. Again, Hello. Multicultural democracy..... not a christian theocracy.... yet anyways.

    The same church that harbors pedophiles. This shouldn't surprise anyone about Biden who is a well known child sniffer.

    When has Biden had an abortion? You can be Catholic and not believe the govt has to impose your beliefs via legislation. Jesus never taught that we must force people to follow his teachings.
