I suspect that most lefties will dismiss this as just too unimportant to even mention or even defend it. Most righties will see humor in this.

I don't know that you speak for most lefties or most righties. Probably not.
As a marginally left-of-center progressive, I find it all pretty funny. But then I find congressional prayers and "amen" funny all by themselves.
I suspect that means we both see the humor in this.

I thought it was a Babylon Bee or Onion story until I saw the video.

Probably but no doubt we will not agree on what makes this funny. Is there even such a thing as a “marginal” progressive?

 

[OrphanSlug]

That was unwise.

More stupidity than humor....but on both sides. The grammar is inconsistent ("A"men-plural vs. "A"woman-singular) and ignores the Latin root of the word, which has nothing to do with gender, sex, or even any specific "higher power/God." But prayers in a public meeting....I've never understood them either.

Shocking! No wonder there's been so little coverage on Fox News of the President of the United States on tape asking the Georgia SOS to find enough votes to change the outcome of the election. This is far more newsworthy.

I never said "marginal progressive". I said "marginally left-of-center". . . . I suspect that distinction should not be beyond your grasp.

Maybe someone will draw a little baby jesus on a starbucks cup for you and make it all better.

I don’t think it’s that funny having an important deliberative political body- one of the most important in the world- publicly begging an invisible man in the sky for help.

Is that what you mean?

Is there even such a thing as a progressive that’s only marginally left of center?

I’ll pass on the Starbucks, too much caffeine and I don’t ever want to be woke to the point where “amen” has to be offset by “awomen.”

...is this the part where you tell me how funny you find it and you’re not at all outraged? G’head, tell me more about how little you don’t care about this. G’head.

That and they burn their beans while roasting, making the whole thing taste awful.

In this case awoman really stands for antifa-woman, its a signal for the movement to begin

My great aunt used to do this on the rare occasions we had Thanksgiving with her.

I don't see what the big deal is.
