I already spent an hour in a church today and I didn't ask anyone to stop talking about Jesus and to talk about Trump, so I guess I don't see why it makes more sense to stop talking about the rather novel concept of a former president burying his first wife on a golf course he owns to get into yet another "judge not lest ye be judged" debate.
Yeah, different strokes for sure. I stated my opinion about the initial topic and I deem it rather insignificant, but sure I played my part in this thread's derailment afterwards based on this assertion. Maybe there is more to say to it and maybe I misbehaved. If so, sorry about that and back to Ivana's grave, I will stop engaging in debating anything else here. Only thing I'd say, quite some threads about other things turned to Trump (I'm guilty for that as well) and I don't think turning to something else in a Trump thread (it still also was about Trump for me) is significantly worse.

That's kind of my point too. But as I said, back to Ivana's grave and all the totally not predictable takes people will have on that.
