God is such a Trickster

First, He sends us the lyingest, cheatingest, most arrogant, most Commandment-breaking hypocrite on Earth to be President of the United States and then convinces his supporters that he is a messenger from God Himself. God would never send someone like Jesus as a messenger - that would be too easy to figure out.

Instead, He sends his vessel disguised as sinner who never felt the need to ask God for forgiveness, because he never did anything to be forgiven for. His supporters know that God works in mysterious ways. The satanic Democrats do not have the capacity to understand the workings of the Almighty.

Then, He installs a philistine like Matt Schlapp to care for his "messenger's" political affairs. Soon thereafter, He creates a pandemic that spreads around the world, even so far as the political event of the CPAC Convention in Washington, DC.

Then, just to keep the satanic Democrats confused about His "plan", He plants someone inside the CPAC Convention with the dreaded virus. He prepares a way for Matt Schlapp to shake the hand of the infectious carrier, before he shakes hands with Donald Trump. Not even the greatest chess player could have figured that one out.

Now, God asks the question: Is Donald Trump carrying the virus or not?

He is such a Trickster.

he probably will not survive. Due to his age and general poor health, he is in a high risk category.

Before you cheer, that applies also to other people in DC, e.g. RBG. Other seniors in government whose health might be better but are vulnerable due to age are Pelosi and other members of Congress. Also vulnerable due to campaign travel and crowds are Biden and Sanders.

We could lose our top layers of government if it gets too bad in DC. Not to mention the ordinary folk who live there.

I have a very personal interest in seeing the pandemic handled better I am 70. I have chronic allergic chest congestion and asthma. I live in an area with sub-standard health care in good times. If I get it, I have slim to zero survival chances.

I don't excuse Trump for anything, from children in cages to cutting health care budgets, chronic lies, racism, and just plain sadism.

"There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy" is a tough precept for the absolutist to accept.

I suspect there is a power beyond that of humanity that works also toward good.

Still...I had a dear friend many years ago who had immense difficulty believing in God because she asked, "How could God have let the Holocaust happen?"

Many answers for that question have been advanced by atheists, agnostics and believers. I don't claim to know the answer.

One thing is for sure now, though. That is that Trump is surely a deceiver, a liar, an evil man. Will the universe take care of him or will we have to by voting him out?

What about the coronavirus? How does that fit in? Will Trump himself catch it? Succumb to his own plague?

Boy, the plot thickens! Tune in next week...

...that "God works in mysterious ways."

There is nothing funny about this disease but...

If that senile old orange golf obsessed criminal in the White House and his pet dog Pence were both to get sick with covid, much like that Iranian fool on TV last week, it would suggest that God has a sense of humor AND a sense of justice.

Trump, I note, has "underlying health conditions" not just limited to dementia. He is morbidly obese.

As an obese person myself, I am acutely aware of obesity's effect on breathing.

My bet, with available evidence, is that deity worship is a hoax.
