GOP Congresswoman outraged by Muslim prayer delivered in the House of Representatives. “May God have mercy.”

Actually, we have been swearing on the bible (truth) to tell the truth so help us God in Federal Courts prior to 1918.

Fortunately that is not longer required, but is now optional.

The US decided otherwise in the name of fighting Russia over a century ago.

All other religions were merely tolerated at that point, and subject to frequent brutal abuses.

I bet you're a joy to be around.

Trump didn't put his hand on the Bible when sworn in. He also didn't put his hand on the Constitution, the alternative option. His hand was in our pockets.

Why are any religion's prayers being said in the House?

Exactly and if one is allowed contrary to the Constitution, then all should be allowed. It wouldn't make much difference these days to the ability of Congress to get work done since they spend most of their time in committees investigating dumb shit.

I’m not obligated to turn a blind eye to blatant hypocrisy just because the US decided the best way to deal with the sins of the past was simply not to be honest about them, ever.

Yep, a pure joy.

Yep, a pure joy.

Blind denial doesn’t change reality, sorry.

Another MAGA minion showing their true racist roots.

But of course! Daddy MAGAT aka Donald Trump has let it be known that once closeted racists and bigots are free to do as they please and say what they please in Neo-MAGA America!
