Pussy-Grabber's adventures at the national prayer breakfast. . .

I'm not religious. I'm not Christian. I don't want or need to be prayed over.

And I do find it somewhat interesting, to say the least, why an American politician should feel compelled to attend when we live in an ostensibly secular nation. . .

Yeah, I know. . . "Amurka is a Christian nation!" Yada, yada.

Given all this, I STILL feel that the organizers of this. . . breakfast. . . or whatever the hell it was owe Democrats a HUGE apology for the behavior of their guest, Pussy-Grabber himself. PG won't apologize ever. But this was supposed to be a "Christian" event with "Christian love." I didn't see ANY of that, but I DID see the supposed leader of the free world acting like the big, orange asshole that he is and taking swipes at Democrats.

Ultimately, do I CARE what Pussy-Grabber says or does? No, I don't. But I DO care that this breakfast gave him a platform from which to shit out toxic bile from his pie hole on TELEVISION.

I doubt very seriously that his supporters will be turned off by this.

don't disassociate themselves from rump's ranting and raving, then I truly question the purpose of this supposedly Christian breakfast, that's really supposed to reflect all Americans, not just the select few.

But then they wouldn't have people talking about how holy they appear and complimenting them on their public show of piety.

It’s not a real family. It’s a Republican Christian organization that is made up of members of the a Republican Party and Christian leaders. It stays low key, deliberately, except for once a year it puts on the Breakfast Prayer. It’s been around for a while and their basic belief is that Republican Presidents are literally god’s chosen and that the Family’s job is to make god’s will happen.

It will explain everything about the Republican Party that makes us bang our heads on the wall in frustration. There’s a book too. It’s a mini series and starts off slow but it’s because it’s the foundation for the rest of the story.

The guy who introduced him quoted Jesus and Trump came up and said I don't agree with that
