“I know my mother’s in heaven,” he said at a Madison Square Garden rally in October. “I’m not 100 percent sure about my father, but it’s close.”
lmao, at least he's honest about his dad was who was literally in the KKK.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

the bar is not even on the floor; it's buried within the pits of hell
If Trump makes it to heaven I’m going to raise an army of the damned in hell and we’re going to invade heaven and kill god. Might do this regardless of where Trump ends up. I guess we’ll see.
I thinking liberating Hell if Trump can make it into heaven will take less time then having to invade it first if he can't. 
Now before you go "he's deathly ill 
", remember that old people love nothing more than saying this kind of stuff to ruin the vibes
My grandmother starts basically every conversation with "I'll be dead soon". She's perfectly healthy outside of being old and may well outlive me.
Grandmothers are universally the most morbid people possible
Even if he dies, there's plenty of weirdo Hitlerites to replace him.
I love how Trump dials into Fox & Friends like it's his personal therapist
He knows he's a pedo tho. Like what the fuck
"Look, I've fucked a lot of child sex slaves over the years, but think about all the money I made thus proving that God favors me! If the big man didn't want me to keep fucking child sex slaves surely he'd have given me some kind of sign or removed my wealth, right?"
The protestant ethic unbound...
lol what
he just says the weirdest things. extremely sad that this is the funniest president the US has ever had.
he is pretty funny
"Many Such Cases" is one of the best sayings
I didn't even know that was aTrumpism, I use it all the time
Many such cases.
They are saying it ,Everybody's Saying it
Absolutely senile and the biggest "yes man" of a puppet to ever sit in that office lmao
Not that that makes him any less of a war criminal as the last 40ish people in the role but w/e
I dont know why he's worried about it. Its very much a sure thing that he will never see paradise, no matter the form.
how lucky for him that there is no heaven and he will never face divine punishment, just like 100% of the bourgeoisie
“I’m hearing I’m not doing well." Like he opened up heaven/.com and saw his Heaven Credit Score is too low.
Edit to break the link just in case its a weird site.
He was visited by three ghosts last night
Was I a good person Jesus 
No, Donald, you were an absolute bastard, now go.
the living embodiment of all seven deadly sins is worried about his place in the afterlife? damn that's wild
And all ten commandments, and...
I wouldn’t count Trump out just yet. Trump has a WAY more likely chance of getting into Evangelical Heaven than Joe Biden has of getting into Catholic Heaven.
If I ruled Hell, I would tell them both as soon as they came in that the other one made it to Heaven.
A bit off topic but Justin Scott made a brilliant video (~5min) discussing how the church+colonialism made people afraid they wouldn’t make it into heaven, while that very idea goes against much of what Jesus and god taught. It is well worth a watch whether or not you are Christian.

You know what, sometimes you gotta hand it to em. When he is right he is right.
That bullet pierced his ear real hard huh?
well it was hard to hit anything else really he doesn't have a brain after all
I think he was serious about this
Trump redemption arc incoming?
more likely he'll double down on zionism
His base is full of rabid Christian Zionists.
Anyways, there's something about a camel and the hole of a needle I've heard Christians talk about...
If heaven exists I wonder what the mathematics to get in looks like. For example if I know google helps Israel kill civilians and I give google 2.99 a month for more space on google drive (I don't do this btw), does that mean I go to hell? But what if I save the lives of a few people by alerting them that they left their gas stove on?
If Trump has raped 12 minors among many other "sins" but he prevents the deaths of 200,000 Ukranians and 2000 Russians by brokering a peace deal does he go to heaven?
You should watch The Good Place. It's all about this lol.
That's something I don't understand about the whole "Jesus forgives all" thesis. Like, if Hitler said he was truly sorry, would they let him into heaven? How is Christ's forgiveness meant to work? (I was raised atheist in an area with not a lot of Xtians so I don't really know how this stuff works.)
Depends on the sect. Most Protestant sects believe that 'true belief in salvation only coming from the crucification of Jesus Christ' is enough. Others believe in heavenly predestination. And others still believe that you are cleansed during baptism, which occurs when you are an adult, and only everything that you do afterwards counts. Catholics believe that if you do good works, fully confess your sins and perform the assigned penance before you die, you will be forgiven of your sins and go to heaven (or at least reduce your time in purgatory). And it's best to regularly confess, because forgetting you sinned does not save you from it.
I mean, yeah, that is pretty much it. It's thst "truly sorry" part that does the heavy lifting. "Sorry I got caught" or "sorry I have to face consequences" isn't gonna cut it. Neither is just saying it. Hitler would have to actually BE sorry, like, on a level of feeling real empathy for everyone he hurt, admitting that he's a fucking monster, and wanting to not be one anymore. Up to you whether you think he's capable of such a thing. He sure wasn't within his lifetime.
I mean, I don't necessarily believe that eternal damnation should be the way to go, but it seems fairly nuts that if Hitler genuinely felt bad then that's all it would take for him to get into heaven. Like, he doesn't even have to do any good actions to counteract what he did? Not that it matters to me given that I don't believe in the afterlife but that just seems pretty unbalanced is all
if hell exists it's too late. that pig is gonna roast for sure
He should be worried. Trump can't have White people dying under his watch if he wants to get into McHeaven, simple as.
Palestine doesn't get factored as a negative in McHeaven points.
