Trump praying for Texas is like a firefighter tossing gasoline on a blaze, then whispering a hymn.
When a man dismantles the very systems designed to warn and evacuate before floods, and then offers folded hands instead of functional help—it’s not prayer. It’s performance. Not faith. Just spin.
There’s a difference between a prayer of grief and a prayer of guilt-dodging.
I am not exactly a full on believing Roman Catholic, but it occurs to me that according to medieval theology, there are two departures from the virtue of hope, despair and presumption. The destitute are praying from desperation. Trump is praying from a position of presumption.
So many people have died under his watch, and it’s sickening. We’re not even 1/4 of the way into his “presidency,” and look at how many people have died already due to him and the other dipshit Republicans in power cutting essential services. And now with the Big Ugly Bill, it’s only going to get worse. They should all be locked up for murder.
I’m afraid I’m having a problem envisaging the trump and his ‘first lady’ praying . On their knees praying . Lighting candles at an altar praying . Any praying ?!!!
I attended a fringe religious group that followed this guy who said, if you see someone suffering, DO SHIT NOW, like a grownup. Extra credit if you prevent the next time.
NAAH. That’s hard. If you don’t care, it’s obvious. Better to pray out LOUD so everyone knows you’re a Holy Joe.
Spot-on. Thank you for once more pointing out that the Emperor has no clothes (aka morals, empathy, compassion, competence, responsibility, and even religious virtue).
YUP. Good ol’ “Thoughts and prayers” backed by zero positive action and a deep need to not be held accountable for anything he causes. SMH

One comes from the wound.
The other from the weapon.

Most people only “pray” to ask for things they want.
Some are such Gawd botherers here in the south, they pray for their HS football team to win.

Seriously ….
She grew up literally communist in Slovakia, her father was a party bigwig. So it is all performative on her part.
You mean PREYING.

It’s a real fringe religion.
He prays to the DEVIL doesn’t he? Oh I forgot! He is an Atheist! Eek! Even worse !

I'm not sure about that, he thinks HE is god.
