Link to tweet

Joe Cunningham, freshman of South Carolina, told me he‘s still undecided on impeachment. “We’re hearing a lot from both sides of the argument...I’m going to take a few days to reflect on, pray on it, and make a decision early next week.”



Good grief! Study the facts, use logic and uphold your oath to the Constitution.

1. God doesn't care. Read the Constitution and do your fucking job.

[Funtatlaguy]

3. Amen to that. So to speak.

4. I have a feeling reflecting and praying on it means he'll be studying the polls.

When I first saw this tweet, I thought it had to be a Republican because Democrats don't talk like this but........ South Carolina.

2. do they really want this

POS to take down the country. It is sickening.

[NightWatcher]

5. Elected Official to ask Invisible Sky King how to do his job.

You'd get fired from McD's for doing that.

[walkingman]

6. And that is why we live in such a divided country. MAny believe God is responsible for all the good

things and none of the bad things. What a load of crap. They really do think that Trump has been chosen by their "white" Jesus to save us from all of the non-humans on the planet.

7. Can a primary candidate be run against Cunningham?

Or would this be stifled by the DNC?

We need to get religion out of politics.

11. Don't know but he won Mark Sanford's old seat in a district that voted for Trump +11

8. So, a no vote will...

Support the God chose Trump mantra

[octoberlib]

14. Probably but he won a close race in a district that went for Trump +11

I just don't like the praying over a decision that should be based on facts.

9. I know JUST the venue for him to do it at, too:

12. Now that's funny!

10. Hey Joe, God covered this topic

Jeremiah chapter 23, verses 1 through 4:

“Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture!” declares the Lord. Therefore thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning the shepherds who care for my people: “You have scattered my flock and have driven them away, and you have not attended to them. Behold, I will attend to you for your evil deeds, declares the Lord. Then I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them, and I will bring them back to their fold, and they shall be fruitful and multiply. I will set shepherds over them who will care for them, and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall any be missing, declares the Lord."

And if you need something from the Christian Testament, how about 1 Timothy chapter 3, verses 1 through 5:

The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task. Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. He must manage his own household well, with all dignity keeping his children submissive, for if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for God's church?

Does the President look to be above reproach to you? Is he the husband of one wife, or three? How would you rate him on self control (considering just this morning he took after a 16-year-old girl because Time magazine did something he didn't like)? Is Trump quarrelsome, or not, in your eyes? He just paid out $2 million by court order to eight charities for stealing money from them. Does that sound like some who is a lover of money?

If you're honest with yourself, Rep. Cunningham, the answers should be crystal clear.

13. Every time I hear some hammerhead say they need to 'pray' before making a decision,

I pray that they grow a brain instead, since that's all one really needs in order to make decisions...

[SWBTATTReg]

15. Someone send this person the list of 14000+ lies that rump has spewed out so far. Maybe...

this will help him (other than the pu&&y grabbing comments, and other disgusting things that rump has said)...

Impeachment is there for a reason. Use it. He's guilty as hell.

[Garrett78]

16. Psst, Joe, one side is clearly lying.

Jesus H Christ, this country is a madhouse.

[apnu]

17. Come on folks, Joe is looking for a hand out.

He's telegraphing that his vote is up for sale and how long the sale window is. He's gonna sit in his office and see who calls with the best offer for him and he's gonna go with that.

Nobody says things like this unless they're looking for something.

18. When I was back there in seminary school

There was a person there
Who put forth the proposition
That you can petition the Lord with prayer
Petition the lord with prayer
Petition the lord with prayer
You cannot petition the lord with prayer!

[stillcool]

19. he is in one of those..

states that are in an alternate reality. Sometimes you got to make a stand, or not. It would be great if someone could clue in his constituents.

[octoberlib]

20. Yeah, I know. Trump is popular in SC and the SCGOP is trying really hard to regain Cunningham's seat

[stopbush]

21. Pray on it means take sometime talking to yourself, then deciding by yourself

then voting.

It’s only a matter of which way you convince yourself to vote, all by yourself.
