Well shit! I was hoping for a good, calm match with Trump...to settle him a bit. even out the theater so to speak. The dems will make hay with this kind of stuff. Fuck! Thank you for giving me a heads up. Yeah...I'm a believer ...but I don't want the government issuing laws because of it. Let them do what they want....then sort it out with God...IMO. I'm glad I never had to even think about that kind of decision for myself. But that's not saying it didn't touch my family .
