Tropical Soulvangalical saw with the Biden's tracker about how Biden apparently made tribute to Colbert for Colbert's last night. TSV didn't directly see the tribute on Biden's -own- feed, so all he has is that one post on the tracker to go by. There's also no info on the yuk-it-up pic in the tracker between Colbert and Biden, so TSV's inclined to believe that it must have been AI'd, seeing how Colbert joined in on the War On Biden starting in 7/24 that he admitted such when Karine Jean Pierre reverse-interviewed him on his own show. TSV's fully aware that both men are devout Catholics and as such hold fast to the concept of forgiveness. TSV isn't so forgiving in general, since he's generally observed that in a society that's as inherently corrupt as ours, forgiveness gets taken as a form of weakness, and most public figures that are "forgiven" are only encouraged to engage in further wrongdoing and bad behavior. TSV doesn't see that as particularly constructive. Sure, he observes, one can argue that forgiveness heals the soul, but he then asks, how about the soul of our national culture? Only the concept of principle and our getting back on the righteous path after taking the wrong fork in the road when we got the post-pandemic vaccine will "heal" the country, not forgiveness by itself. That probably explains why TSV is non-denominational/deist and not a Catholic. He respects some aspects of Catholicism, including the Pope himself, but he thinks it misses the point on too many fronts in current events. So just because Biden and Colbert might have been pictured together in the tracker as an apparent show of supposed forgiveness on Biden's part toward Colbert, that just does not make it binding on TSV to somehow "drop" his objections. He'll continue those objections until the main Donkeys recant and repent their War On Biden. That's the only thing that will clear the air. He's not going to be manipulated away from the righteous path with symbolic shows of things that offer illusions and false arguments about what he's "supposed" to do or not do.
