Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Summary

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson claimed he was “physically mauled” by a demon in his sleep, leaving claw marks on his body, which he says are still visible. Carlson described waking with intense pain, bleeding claw marks, and an overwhelming urge to read the Bible. He recounted the experience as confusing yet transformative, adding that while he doesn’t expect others to believe him, the incident profoundly impacted him.

Colombian here - as you might know, most people here are catholic.

A bit of story.

My mother says her eldest brother was like the evil on earth. He raped her younger sisters, used to beat up all of them – his younger brother grew up with serious mental issues because of that, and now we are having issues trying to get him into an asylum because, again, third world problems - stole the house and land of their parents (which wasn't a lot, but left my mother and her sisters with nothing when their father died) and even treated violently my grandmother. I never got to know my grandparents because they died when my mother was young.

So my mother says one night my grandmother was really ill and this person (I have never seen him, not even in pictures) arrived home and beat her up and went to sleep. Then allegedly "the spirits" ("las almas") came when he was asleep and beat him up so hard he screamed and woke everyone up - like they could see how "the spirits" lifted him across the room and hit him violently, but never could see any of those "spirits".

A few weeks or months after that my grandmother died and all of my aunts had to get miserable jobs trying to survive and this bastard still showed up from time to time to steal the few bucks they could earn.

Eventually all of them (except my uncle) got married and all of them but the elder sister never saw him ever again.

Now I'm atheist and don't believe in this kind of stuff, but the saying is that "the souls" do that kind of thing to really awful people. So if Carson's incident is true (and if "the souls" exist and are able to do that), now you may have a possible explanation for that.
