Catholic, attorney, former Hill staffer, dog lover. New account, so I'm starting over on Twitter. I tweet on politics, religion, stocks, and world events.

@AFellaNamedGus @ksorbs You aren't the brightest bulb in the pack are you? Even if 16 million were the total viewers (rather than the total turned in as of this snapshot), and even assuming millions didn't watch the video in the days to come, that would still put it above almost all shows on TV.

[James @RealJamesLayne]

@AFellaNamedGus @ksorbs If that's the standard, all of your favorite shows would go off the air. And good riddance.

@KanyeWestJS @realDonaldTrump So there is sound? I hear nothing.

[James @RealJamesLayne]

@TiffMoodNukes @realDonaldTrump I can't hear anything. So you're ahead of me.

[James @RealJamesLayne]

@realDonaldTrump Has the sound just not started? I don't hear anyone saying anything.

[James @RealJamesLayne]

@glennbeck @realDonaldTrump It's nothing unusual. Apparently just a bunch of "progressives" trying to take down the site so you can't listen. Just like they do on college campuses.

[James @RealJamesLayne]

@realDonaldTrump Even this is better than an interview with @KamalaHarris.

@jonathanlin1587 I too thought he was spot on and spoke from the heart.

[James @RealJamesLayne]

@Nafisa__ That's 4 plus minutes of no oxygen. That's exactly what CPR's designed to do, deliver oxygen to the organs and get the heart pumping.

[James @RealJamesLayne]

@ayy_leaf @RaccoonSquadNFT What on earth? Why would you expect that to follow a lower low?

[James @RealJamesLayne]

My most sincere prayers for #DamarHamlin. Every sports fan, no matter what team we root for, is a #Bills fan tonight. Please, Lord, let him be okay.

@GeorgeTakei The Shard. I was there recently standing in line for the lying in state of HRM Queen Elizabeth. It was the Shard that oriented us and kept reminding us just how slowly the massive line was moving.

@PadrePalma You attacking a pope, or any priests for that matter, on the day of his death says everything I need to know about you. Even if you were right on your theological points, which you aren't, I would still want nothing to do with you.

[James @RealJamesLayne]

@7catky @donlemon @CNN My prayers and best wishes are with you this holiday season and New Year. I hope the memories, though they can be painful, also bring smiles and joy.

[James @RealJamesLayne]

@7catky @donlemon @CNN My mother died about 5 weeks later, while she was in rehab waiting to go home. I know it's tough. I remember them, especially around the holidays, as I'm sure you do yours. We have to try to cherish the memories and smile. That's what they would want.

[James @RealJamesLayne]

@7catky @donlemon @CNN I would walk from one room to the other, to be with both of them. I managed to get my mother transferred to the room across from my dad, and they met one last time in the hospital before my dad passed. I had to bring the news to my mother the next morning.

[James @RealJamesLayne]

@7catky @donlemon @CNN I know very well how that feels. My father was very sick in the hospital in 2015, and as I was driving in from Washington all the way across the state of Virginia to be with him, my sister called and told me my mother was very ill. They both ended up in the same hospital.

[James @RealJamesLayne]

@luvmymoose @RepLisaMcClain That is absolutely false, and you should be ashamed to repeat a lie. And if you doubt that it is false, I can show you that it is false. Before you malign a dead man, you might want to at least do a Google search.

[James @RealJamesLayne]

@KamVTV I want to make clear that after reading a number of documents from Father Pavone, I'm no longer sure he is at fault here. Maybe he is or maybe he isn't, and maybe we will never know for sure, but they're certainly are legitimate questions. I hope there is a further legal process.

[James @RealJamesLayne]

@KamVTV 1) The Catholic Church is NOT a denomination. 2) Father Pavone was disobedient for years to his bishop. 3) The Catholic Church was established by Christ as a hierarchy, with bishops and priests. Bishops have lawful authority to assign priests to whatever ministry they wish.
