GOP candidate says God thinks she's 'cute'

[left-of-center2012]

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) has picked up a primary challenger from a right-wing Christian who speaks in tongues to help cope with her "high-powered brain." Kelly Tshibaka, the former Alaska 'State Commissioner of Administration', launched her GOP primary challenge with the backing of some key allies of former president Donald Trump, whose election fraud claims she backed, after spending years serving in the federal government and running a Pentecostal church in the Virginia suburbs of Washington, D.C.

"That's when I realized God loves it when I try to talk in my spirit language," Tshibaka told her congregation at Mount Vernon Foursquare Church. "He thinks it's so cute that the only person in the world who can understand me is Him, and it gave me the freedom to just start — to just start sounding like an 18-month-old, because in my spirit, I probably was just 18 months old, and then what happened is, over time, I'd start to notice sentences or phrases, or, if you listen to it now, if you were to record it, you could tell there's a syntax and there's grammar, and I can tell with my brain that it's a real language."

[ProfessorGAC]

45. Probably???

This quote from the snip:

...who speaks in tongues to help cope with her "high-powered brain."

Looks like you're beyond merely correct!

[Ilsa]

2. For real?

There is so much there to run against in ads. She needs to be evaluated by a psychiatrist.

[Thomas Hurt]

10. oh yeah, tongues is an evangelical thing, those who do are special and get to sit upfront...

[Ilsa]

23. I know where glossolalia comes from, but she

takes it to a whole new level of narcissism. Only she can communicate with God.

[Grokenstein]

32. I gibber to myself in the kitchen for laughs.

Where's my cult? Where's my office?

[lagomorph777]

21. She has a crazy look in her eyes.

[Ilsa]

24. Agreed. Either mental or drugs? nt

[GoCubsGo]

36. A lot of GOPer women have that look.

Amy Covid Barratt also comes to mind. There's nothing behind those eyes.

[Arkansas Granny]

38. Michelle Bachmann has those crazy eyes, as well.

[Thomas Hurt]

3. The magical thinkers wish a christian theocracy for this country...

[secondwind]

4. Lady! There's NO WAY those cheekbones are yours!!!

Wow!

[NurseJackie]

5. She has crazy-eyes. I've seen more natural-looking smiles on Wallace & Gromit characters.

[secondwind]

6. Lol 😂

[livetohike]

17. The last time I saw eyes like that was on a person

who should not have taken two tabs of acid.

[NurseJackie]

20. It's a very distinctive look. Jack Nicholson has that look, too.

[spanone]

29. I had the same thought about her eyes....

she ain't right

[jpak]

7. Yikes

[Aristus]

8. Goddamn. That's some graduate-level cray-cray there...

[underpants]

9. Imagine what might happen if she licked a 5G tower

At least one seal would be unlocked.

[BComplex]

42. Ha!

[lillypaddle]

11. Mother of God, make them go away

[NotAPuppet]

13. "high-powered brain"

[MerryHolidays]

14. I take it that this is not an April Fool's Day story? n/t

[NewDayOranges]

15. She should be fun in a DEBATE!😂

[LakeArenal]

16. Exactly what brain are they discussing.

Cuz it ain’t hers.

[Carlitos Brigante]

18. And there it is. The crazy "Bachman eyes". What a surprise. nt

[Diamond_Dog]

19. She makes Michelle Bachmann look sane...

[A HERETIC I AM]

25. No...no one can do that.

That's a whackadoodle right there, that's what that is.

[Celerity]

[sinkingfeeling]

22. Igoo stump whick malbor. Anyone can do.it.

[OriginalGeek]

26. Even fundamentalist baptists

think them speak in tonguers are loony.

well, they did back in my church days.

[left-of-center2012]

30. "Even fundamentalist Baptists think them speak in tonguers are loony"

Agreed.
I had two older brothers who were 'evangelical born-again' Baptist ministers and they said speaking in tongue was against the Bible.

[OriginalGeek]

46. Yeah that's what we were taught.

Our sect didn't particularly cotton to faith healers either.


They weren't our kind of weird.

[Polly Hennessey]

27. She looks crazed.

[Bayard]

28. He doesn't think you're cute,

He's pointing and laughing, elbowing the angels in the ribs.

If you believe in that kind of thing.

[AndyS]

31. Any body can speak in tongues and sound convincing.

Practice repeating 'somebody tied my bowtie and stole my Hyundai' until you can do it relatively quickly. Then throw in an 'um boti botai' and a 'badda badda umba' randomly.

There, Ya' got it! Just like any Televangelist.

[OilemFirchen]

33. A face only God can love.

Takes the pressure off her mom.

[alittlelark]

34. Put on the right face paint and she looks like The Joker.

[GoCubsGo]

35. God needs glasses.

Either that or Kelly is off her meds. She's hearing voices, apparently.

[Celerity]

37. QBaka looks like she very well may start a Bonfire of the Insanities

[Yavin4]

39. Between her, Boebert, and MTG, Sarah Palin looks normal. n/t

[hatrack]

41. I think she has some very definite ideas about what should be done with Danny . . .

And I'd like to know what they are!

[Tracyjo]

43. OMG

Really??

[Treefrog]

44. What fresh hell is this? Holy whatever!

[yonder]

47. How many times has she been bitten by rattlesnakes?

Too many or not enough?

[CrackityJones75]

48. JFC... These people want to run our government

And there are people that WANT these people to run our government!!!

[gratuitous]

49. Kelly, why are you disobeying the Bible?

1 Cor 14 very strictly limits people from speaking in tongues without an interpreter. Are there other parts of the Bible that you similarly ignore?

[ellie]

50. Er ...

Sure.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

51. This idiot is too stupid to be elected to anything

[kairos12]

52. She has that "why so serious" Joker Grin. Scary.

[Wounded Bear]

53. So she's been living in DC for many years and is running for senate in Alaska?

The carpetbag don't get much longer than that.

[smirkymonkey]

54. Wasn't there a period of time in this country where men in little white wagons used to routinely

come around and slap strait jackets on people like this and toss them in the loony bin for the rest of their lives?

I used to think it was extreme, but now I am beginning to think they might have had the right idea.

[chowder66]

55. She needs help. nt
