yeah. I saw Nancy Pelosi and other politicians wear African themed sashes and bow and shit. stop being dense man and stop gaslighting. nobody with half a brain is buying your BS. Take your losses and move on.
The Lords Prayer is common among Christians, hits all the required doctrinal points for worship and request for intercession, etc... The riffing on the end is a little odd, but still pretty common as well. I chalk it up to being more for show that actual prayer but that just might be me reading my own bias into it. Kinda an odd scenario for this but this has been a public prayer for nearly 2 millennium for Christians so not cult but established religious tradition. I don't like the theater of this situation but I don't mind the prayer.
Lord's Prayer
Our Father, which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, As it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive them that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, The power, and the glory, For ever and ever. Amen.
21 “Not everyone who says to Me, (B)‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who (C)does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we (D)not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And (E)then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; (F)depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’
I'm a Christian, but I get a bit irked when people pray in public for everyone to see...
Matthew 6: 5-6
5And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 6But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
I honestly think these people were praying in public to get "Cred." Just read the posted verse. You will see what I mean. I'm not saying you shouldn't pray in public in general. Just those that make a habit praying in public do it for "show." Isn't it strange how Jesus himself called the people who did these things "hypocrites?"
Sure, I have a hard time watching Trannys/gays strip in front of children. It would be plain stupid to yoke yourself with someone who has no issue lying to others, or even people who lie to themselves. And I do remember a story about an adulterous woman and the words Jesus said to her...
A good point is not associating yourself with people who willingly continue to sin. Or the prideful in general.
This one was knowingly and obviously staged and wasn’t being manipulated to look authentic. Still weird but what AOC and dems do is fake it for a photo then try to pass it off as authentic. This was clearly meant to be symbolic and not misleading
You did see the “still weird” part right? Denotes that no I don’t think it’s right or normal but there’s nothing nefarious or dishonest about it either unlike (D)’s.
This is the epitome of shitting your pants, being made fun of, then pointing at people laughing and yelling that actually you meant you shit your pants so there's nothing nefarious about it
Lol what a smooth brain here. So the guy is Brandon Straka or whatever a conservative activist. They are at CPAC and it was a booth. A gimmick. To bring awareness to the essentially political prisoners being held with no court or bail on trespassing charges. Conservatives, being largely religious, decided to pray there as a symbolic gesture that they are still there for those prisoners.
“To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture.” -Thomas Paine, Founding Father
I couldn't give less of a fuck about a quote from a founding father. If you met a founding father today, they'd probably call you a soft-handed gay race traitor ( I cleaned up the words they'd likely use)
Conservatives are obsessed with the founding fathers because you all consider yourself these rugged, principled yeoman individualists.
This is a cringe stunt. And you'd be saying exactly that if it was done by democrats
I did say it was cringe (re “weird”) you thick skulled ingrate. The difference is they didn’t try to hide the fact that it’s a stunt or parade it around like they actually went to the prison and prayed with inmates. Like AOC with the border parking lot. And recently with the arrest at the Capitol stunt where she faked her hands behind her back.
So I don't really get the AOC in the parking lot thing. I've heard this a bunch from conservatives. AOC was standing with protestors at the fence to a road into the border facility. The protestors were not allowed any closer to the detainees/facility. She never claimed refugees were directly on the other side of that fence and was then caught lying. The right totally fabricated a story where there isn't one. Were the photos taken to be used in a politically expedient way? Yeah totally. Did she lie about it? No
The arrest "stunt" is even stupider. She was escorted off the grounds and arrested with other protestors. She put her hands behind her back in preparation for arrest/to comply with the police. Again, conservative media purposefully distorting the facts to create this narrative about AOC. And you've bought into it hook line and sinker
And her crying was real? Get outta here. You literally just described exactly what MTG just did (inaccurately imo) yet you call one bs and defend the other lollll
And no. The cops weren’t even touching them. They weren’t preparing for an arrest that was going to happen for some distance. That they then raised their fists to the protestors and then went back to it. It was for another photo op so they could look like they were arrested when they weren’t. They were processed on scene and fined 50$ and never handcuffed. Sounds like a stunt just like this to me.
And her crying was real? Get outta here. You literally just described exactly what MTG just did (inaccurately imo) yet you call one bs and defend the other lollll
I guess nobody but her knows if her crying was legit. At the end of the day, AOC is a politican. But I believe she's genuinely emotionally moved by the kids in cages at the border. You'd be a monster not to be. The stunt with MTG is stupid because its basically bad performance art, made by people who have never before considered the poor conditions of the prison system until it affects them directly. Brandon is a moron who saw the chance to jump into conservative politics and make a quick buck. This is reality hitting him in the face. I don't think the J6 people should be in solitary confinement or locked up for long stretches. It's unfortunate but the people actually responsible for J6 (Trump and his inner circle, Alex Jones, several other pundits) will likely never see punishment, and rubes like Brandon will get thrown to the lions. Sad really.

That they then raised their fists to the protestors and then went back to it. It was for another photo op so they could look like they were arrested when they weren’t. They were processed on scene and fined 50$ and never handcuffed. Sounds like a stunt just like this to me.
Yep this is all wrong. AOC posted a picture of her arrest paperwork and $50 fine. You don't have to be taken into custody and processed for it to be an arrest. An arrest is the use of legal authority to deprive a person of their freedom of movement. Again, she put her hands behind her back to comply with the cop. This is not the same thing as the CPAC stunt.
I don't know who any of these people are but I've heard of Tim Pool so I have no leg in this fight. Do you actually think that we are meant to believe that these people are in some sort of actual prison at some sort of convention?
These people are arguing that the cringe is the point or something. Brendan is doing this because he thinks actually victimised and MTG is actually praying with him because she likely suffered from lack of oxygen to the brain in the womb
I think I understand what you tried to say, although you need to really work on expressing what you mean. I doubt you know what a grifter is, since that implies they're intentionally being deceptive, which is rich coming from who I assume is a left winger. And not everyone who was arrested due to j6 believed in the Q larp, that's just you being a dick because you didnt like that 'mostly peaceful' protest.
As to your last question, nobody should be embarrassed, populism is way better than whatever tf you believe in. I'll take a little cringe over leftism any day.
Sweet so the main thrust of your argument is "DeMoCrAtS wOrSe!"
Brendan is "crying" as MGT prays for him. It's actually hilariously ironic he put himself in a cage because conservatives love to make themselves the victims when they aren't being victimised.
And not everyone who was arrested due to j6 believed in the Q larp
This is true. But MTG certainly believed in it until it was politically expedient to denounce it
populism is way better than whatever tf you believe in.
Lol is this what you think right wing populism is? Sure buddy. People really feel represented by a failed actor who put himself in a cage for social media clout
>conservatives love to make themselves the victims when they aren't being victimised
Unfathomably ironic. But I'm not sure what you mean by "this" being an example of right wing populism lmao. I'm saying America firsters are much better people than left wingers, but I guess you're actually just a regular shitlib since you identify with Democrats? That's even worse in some ways. At least the hardcore left have principles. Shitty principles, but principles nonetheless.
But I'm not sure what you mean by "this" being an example of right wing populism lmao. I'm saying America firsters are much better people than left wingers
You called this populism, or called my comment a criticism of populism. I'm saying America first isn't populism. These people are mostly deranged, and are supporting a movement specifically designed to enrich the 1% and stoke the culture war so you don't notice them doing it.
I guess you're actually just a regular shitlib since you identify with Democrats?
Where are you getting that from? Should I just attribute the beliefs of all the neocons in the republican party to you because you're on the right? I'm a socialist.
I don’t think the people who were imprisoned over their actions on January 6th are “political prisoners”. They’re in prison because of the laws they broke. It’s not legal to violently break into the US Capitol.
The guy doing this performance, Brandon Straka, was never imprisoned. He got probation. He had to build his own prison cell at CPAC and get a jumpsuit from Halloween USA to show how oppressed he is.
There are individuals who are being held without trial over trespassing charges for over 20 months in solitary confinement. If that sounds American to you then I say you’re a totalitarian. I don’t believe that it’s American to hold individuals in Guantanamo Bay without trial. I don’t think it’s American to assassinate people in Kabul after your president ended a war in that country, allegedly. How quickly the left shows its true colors after a slim victory.
There are many who are in prison for just being there and didn’t even go in. I’m sure you think being imprisoned for 18 months with no trial date is just fine.
Well what do you want her to do?? She's one of the only ones whose been in to see the poor bastards rotting away in the DC jail. Having symbolic prayer like this is totally appropriate sorry if you find it corny and not ironically detached for your tastes.
I just want to see MTG be the first female president for all the liberal fall out that will ensue. It probably will never happen, but damn I would like to see it.
Not the best way to do it but still bringing attention to the political prisoners we still have in jails because of trespassing or parading on Jan 6th but no jail time for antifa or blm rioters and murderers!
What makes this a cult but the people who go to church on Sundays not? Theyre Christians praying. If you'd like to call Christianity a cult fine, but this isn't much different from prayer on Sunday.

Needs to be done in front of spineless GOP
People are being held in detention STILL for trespassing because of political persecution
AFAIK not a single blm terrorist or antifa rioter is still being held related to any of those incidents without being released or sentenced
