"The Diocese of Syracuse, New York, has agreed to a $100 million settlement with parishioners who claimed they were preyed on by priests, the biggest payout by a Roman Catholic diocese in the U.S. since at least 2018.
But, for now, not a dime of that money is coming from the six insurance companies that cover the Diocese of Syracuse, lawyers involved in the case said Friday.
Instead, as part of its bankruptcy proceedings, the diocese itself will have to shell out $50 million, the parishes in the diocese will have to contribute $45 million, and other entities aligned with the diocese will pay $5 million, to settle the 411 abuse claims filed by 387 people, the lawyers said."

Democrat Harry Truman once said, "Never kick a fresh turd on a hot day."
The Rubes are feeding Trump their disposable income…which will suck away funds that might have gone toward Pubs in other races.
the nightmare scenario in which Trump is re-elected could be offset by a strong Dem representation in the Senate and House….possibly the only way to stop Trump from scorching the USA.

Name another organization with a history like the Catholic Church that would be treated the same as it is and has been.

Rumors The Lincoln Project released the video below because I'm drinking coffee out of this cup this morning, are (probably) greatly exaggerated.
Imagine what we might accomplish if we worked together, and our "conservative" friends weren't bathed, marinated, sous-vided, in this vacuous, mendacious crap, all day. It's so sad. It's the fucking Twilight Zone. They/we deserve better.

Let's hope Trump will step-in and cover their losses, much like how was there for his cult members in Miami recently:
Trump shouts, 'Food for everyone!', does not buy food for anyone.
This really got to me. What an exemplary human being:
Trump supporters pray over him at Versailles in Miami's Little Havana, shortly after pleading not guilty to 37 felony counts in federal court:
