A friend sent me a text this morning when it hit the news. My response was to ask if she was sure, because personally, I want to SEE the stake through his heart. I'm just wondering how they found his heart. They probably drove it through his liver...that'll work, too.

Will he burn in Hell? Will his soul be set in purgatory? Wait, that's right he had no soul. He dealt with the 😈, and the devil calls. Glad he had a chance to see this money for tRump caused treason before he went. The fires of Hell burns high.
