Am I the only one finding this disgusting?
Not a single Christian among them. What exactly are they praying for, did anyone ask?
Optics, they are praying for optics.
It’s funny how fast Murica has fallen into authoritarianism, I’m genuinely having a hard time believing that such a large portion of the population can be so stupid.
Think of how stupid the average person is
Half of em are dumber than that
RIP St George
Well they got em. The Lord truly does provide 🙌🥴
If these people have their way, the USA will become a religious autocracy that respects human rights on a level comparable to that in Iran.
But only for men. Women will be treated like in Afghanistan.
Why is that infuriating? I’m not religious, but why would this not be allowed?
They’re praying to pass a bill that kicks 15 million off health care and starves children so a handful of billionaires pay less tax.
That’s what Jesus would do.So holy.
These people should be more holey
Separation of church and state is supposed to be a thing. Lawmakers praying inside the chamber isn’t separate at all.
If André Carson, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Lateefah Simon all prayed together in the House at one of the 5 daily prayers, during a vote, would the USA shrug?
Nope, it’d be another 911 to the R tards and they’d scream about it like bitchy toddlers from every podium they could find
Both Republicans and Democrats said Miller was rediculous for complaining about prayers

Actually not surprising at all
That’s not what that means. Separation of church and state simply means that the law doesn’t favor one religion over another. What you’re thinking of is the French formulation, known as laicite, which—you guessed it—is a French thing. It’s also based on some pretty problematic ideas that lead and have led to some pretty problematic results, so yeah.
For a non-French example, he’s the Australian constitution on the topic:
The Commonwealth shall not make any law for establishing any religion, or for imposing any religious observance, or for prohibiting the free exercise of any religion, and no religious test shall be required as a qualification for any office or public trust under the Commonwealth.
Nothing at all about lawmakers publicly adhering to a religion.
They are jackass.
But this is as educated as screaming first amendment when a mod removes a post. Wow.
I think it’s because these are people with the power to do more than thoughts and prayers. But they just stick with that while also taking health care off veterans and giving tax breaks to the rich.
That’s the power. They’re doing more.
How would most people react if that was a group of Muslims? Or if the Satanic Church tried to do a small prayer there?
Most would be fine with it. It’s done often and both parties shit on someone last month for taking issue with it.

And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
Matthew 6:5-6
I wonder if there is anyone in the group that is actually praying or they are all just pretending for the others
It’s virtue signalling.
They shouldn’t cluster so closely together, it’s a risk. Not that I’m suggesting anything.
Or they’re playing Soggy Biscuit. Either way, it’s about as effective as a form of government.
To Satan, I presume.
Satan has a stronger sense of morals than these things that pretend to be people. They’ve really motivated me to join the satanic church.
No, Satan dared to defy his father and was thrown out of the house.
None of these fucks would dare defy their daddy Trump.
Satan would never
GOP bukkake.
Totally performative. Just a bunch of assholes.
