Ok religious people. What other signs does God need to send?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

A rainbow appearing in the sky over Dublin on the day that Ireland voted to legalize same-sex marriage? A tornado destroying the house of Rep. Joe Harding, who authored the infamous "Don't Say Gay" bill in Florida?

I don't know how much clearer He can get!

Plague of locusts? Blood raining down? Him literally getting struck by lightening?

I would like the later. It would be hilarious.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

The mistake you are making is assuming religious people are capable of logic, reasoning, or changing their minds. God himself could appear and tell them they are wrong and they wouldn’t believe it, because their existing beliefs are a forgone conclusion. They did not arrive at them by reason or logic and they will not be moved by reason or logic.

Sure would be nice if the media would stop just repeating his bullshit at face value.

"celebrating 250 years of the U.S. military.." Fuck off. Trump doesn't give a shit about the military. He wants a show for himself on his birthday. They should make that perfectly clear each and every time instead of just repeating whatever inane bullshit hillbilly barbie says at the podium.

Sing it with me folks!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

To be fair, the headline of this article did literally call it a birthday parade.

He's just afraid, guys. And chickening out, as usual. Pass the word

Trump Always Chickens Out Trump

If he was nicer, the Democrats could use their weather machine to give him nice weather on his birthday, but he's been a big meanie lately, so it's rain for HitlerPig's birthday.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

Maybe he ahould ask Bibi if he can have those Jewish Space Lasers burn away the mean thunder clouds.

But don't worry, they've already spent tens of millions of dollars just to get to this point before cancelling.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 6 days ago (2 children)

So the message is our military can't perform in th3 rain. Is USPS the last great government force?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 days ago (3 children)

To be fair they stated they didn't want to have an audience out in lightning.

Whatever the case, calling off such festivities is what I'd like to happen anyway. His stupid birthday parade not happening would be a good outcome.

[–] bitwolf 5 points 6 days ago

In his mind he's probably worried that the low turnout would be bad press for him.

You know, rather than concern for the safety of the attendees.

Well, the last few wars have been in deserts

[–] [email protected] 24 points 6 days ago

Lol fucking loser

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Nah. Hold it anyway. Maybe we'll get lucky and the clown prince will catch all his karma at once in the form of a lightning bolt.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Yes, but at the cost of long range visibility and wind, which I guess would only be a problem in certain specific circumstances.

Bday parade??? This is exactly the type of ego bs that dictators do. Have a quiet night in with the family you never see you psycho

I'm in favor of sticking him out there and seeing if Zeus is ready to smite him yet.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 6 days ago

Aww, did he lose his magic sharpie?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 days ago

Your “god” is shaming you.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 days ago

Maybe this is misguided, but in some ways I was looking forward to seeing whatever actions had been planned in DC that day. I guess we'll see what happens. Regardless, Asheville is coming out strong for a No Kings rally.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

you mean chicken out? or do it another day hoping there won't be as many protests? or the Chicago mass?

Can't let his comb over go more wild in the rain. Remember, he doesn't even show up for veteran's memorial service in the rain because rain and dying for your country is for losers. What he said anyway. $48 million was spent just getting all that gear there. Could have fed starving American children by funding the program that was canceled but who needs to do that right? OH WELL! ¯_(ツ)_/¯ (/s)

We can only hope. Let's dust off that old HAARP and see if we can make it happen! /s

Trump is a witch confirmed.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

It is things like this that almost makes me feel like there is a god.
