We know you invoke prayer as a substitute for action because you send thoughts and prayers every time there's a mass shooting and you never do anything about it. You are not allowed to play the victim because the emptiness of your convictions is a national cliche.
He's not listening to JD Pedophile
JD Vance , the original Tin Man, is still looking for a heart but he knows exactly where his gun is.
🤣..."God" is listening??? "Thoughts and prayers" are just an excuse for doing nothing...
So what's the couch fucker going to do about it? Write some bullshit on Twitter and making sure it happens again?
Bojack Horseman had a great episode about this called "Thoughts and Prayers". Turning that phrase into basically Bless you when someone sneezes shows just how disconnected they are from the reality of the situation. Mass shootings are so common in America that most of them don't even make the news
Thoughts and prayers are not good if you use them as a political tool to avoid responsibility to do something
*International cliche, honestly
Pretty obvious by now that prayers don't prevent mass shootings. If the leaders won't do anything, people have to DEMAND change. Sensible gun laws now.
Fck JV.
For God's sake the kids were literally praying when they were gunned down thanks to federal gun laws and GOP refusal that people kill other people WITH GUNS!
How can your heart be broken when you don’t have one?
agree
Thoughts and prayers for these things but military deployment for perceived immigration violations... yeah we see where the action is prioritized.
Does he pray for all those, foreigners, men, women, children he sends to alligator Alcatraz ? Has he ever red the bible? He will burn in hell...amen.
And your lack of action negates your prayers and makes you a piece of worthless shit, Vance.
PRAYERS without ACTIONS is futile! It's in the Bible! We need ACTION or nothing will change!
These thoughts and prayers people forget that prayers without actions mean nothing. Remember, God helps those who help themselves.
God clearly isn’t listening.
If he didn't listen to children praying in his own house to save them then your God doesn't give a shit what you have to say.
Every time a Republican ghoul pops off about “prayer:” (Hamlet, Act 3, Scene 3)
Which -- as we all know by now -- will create the need for him to go on yet another vacation.
F Vance sideways , a sack of subservient opportunist crap of the 1st degree
Vance: "We pray because our hearts are broken" So, Vance just said that he prays for himself every time a child is killed by guns...praying for his own heart instead of changing the laws so that nutjobs can never get guns again.
The emptiness of his soul…
They are listening JD just dance and they don’t like what they’re hearing out of your lying mouth nor the consequences of GOP non-action on guns
Your God has been deaf since you invented him. Get a clue...
Something I have not understood is if god is listening to all these prayers, why god hasn't responded and done something to stop the gun killings, perhaps by ensuring guns were less readily available?
God gave us the tools to stop this but these assholes are too busy praying to do something
Because God likes guns. youtu.be/gavlcbunY00?...
The actions that the right takes consists of *making things worse*. They deregulate guns & carrying even further. They attack medications aiding those struggling with mental illnesses. They put more guns in schools. They bar domestic monitoring of far right & white supremist terrorists.
I drink, it works just as well as prayer
God was listing so hard JD, that he had children murdered in his own house of worship?
God was masturbating.
If prayer worked, we wouldn't need doctors now would we?
Bullshit Vance
Except for the entire GOP for the last 26 years (Columbine happened in 1999)
They invoke prayer as a substitute for intelligence. If you believe your imaginary god has a plan, then praying is absurd. Believers are all indoctrinated and stupid.
Prayer also creates the illusion of actually doing something. But it only does something for you, not others.
Bingo. It’s a soothing tool for oneself.
Yeah, Shady, but your "praying" is merely a performance, and not a good one. Matthew 6:5-13. Or did you forget?
They don't read bibles, they just beat other people with them.
This is how out of touch he is with his own base. MAGA very often DOES think prayer is action.
JD, we don’t give a shit about your prayers because we all know that after every school shooting, your only prayer is, “God, please protect all our guns from legislation tonight”
C hristian I n N ame O nly
I remember JD Vance. He was a politician once. What's he doing now?
Fascism and vacation, mostly.
Only one heartbeat away from being Hillbilly In Chief. Not only are we going to have to remove the gold crap from the Oval Office, but the couches will have to be burned.
Playing the victim and performative outrage are their entire basis for governing.
Convict trump will be dead soon. #TrumpDeathDay then we celebrate. #FuckTrump #FuckVance
Did Trump even respond to this? I know he went on a rant about Seth Meyers at the same time, but I don't think he even acknowledged this tragedy happened.
He hasn’t acknowledged any tragedies since he’s been in office. I think he wants to downplay it all so Fox and the cultists only talk about “positive” things, to aid the illusion that the country is somehow better off since he’s been back.
No JD we pray because we are fallen and have sinned, our broken hearts are punishment for our sins. He didnt go to Catholic school.
"the emptiness of your convictions is a national cliche" is gold.
God either doesn't exist, is an incompetent, or an asshole.
Then keep that prayer shit to yourself right? Why do they feel the need to say it out loud and not in their hearts? Mhm we know why. F’n hypocrites
So Trump, Vance, &their minions are just lazy, uncaring, or ineffective. Which should we choose?
Can someone remind that asshat that the children were PRAYING when they were MURDERED? Oh how my work boot wants to meet his face🤬
It's the GREED of getting more money from the NRA ZEALOTS that buy their votes to keep their Failed Ideology in the Forefront Worshiping and valuing their guns OVER THE LIVES OF INNOCENT CHILDREN & PEOPLE.
Bruh, your imaginary friend didn't/ couldn't stop the slaughter of children in his *own house* why would you imagine he's listening to your whiny bullshit?! 🙄
Blow it out your ass Mr. Eyeliner.
I'm always reminded of Matthew 6:5 when politicians call on us to pray.
Brilliantly stated!!!
Just Dance, you became Catholic only to get the Evangelical vote.
Which frankly makes no sense, b/c vangis HATE HATE HATE “real” Catholics. jayvee nonce is a soulless shapeshifter CONSUMED with self-loathing.
What are people supposed to be praying for? "Dear magic wish granting genie, please fix everything that people are doing wrong that they don't feel like fixing themselves."
Literally your whole party does.
Also, lots of people believe in petitionary prayer and do believe that prayer is both taking action and is a superior substitute for other suggested responses.
And that’s a dumb belief that should be shamed and ridiculed
Despite abundant evidence to the contrary. Prayer is only for the people praying. It does nothing for the victims.
Sure. I do not believe that asking God to do things on your or others behalf actually causes divine intervention. But some religious people do. The belief that this happens is a not uncommon basis for religious belief, in fact. And that's what some people are trying to do when they offer prayer.
And it’s totally find to mock that very silly belief. Nothing wrong w saying things religious folks find offensive.
This seems to be written as if you think I believe we should avoid offending religious sensibilities. I was criticizing someone speaking on behalf of the religious by pointing out they are falsely representing the scope of religious belief.
Yeah, they need to know they're being selfish and stupid, reinforcing bad ideas. It's time to stop tolerating our own slaughter. It's time to stop letting people lie.
Crazy that Bsky flagged your comment for "intolerance against protected groups." Who? Stupid people? Politicians? Gun nuts?
They've flagged my entire account, every post ever. I'm only intolerant of intolerance, but fascist mods want people to die.
I agree that "thoughts and prayers" when offered as petitionary prayer is bad in the same way I think placebo medicine is bad in that it has the potential to and actually does convince people that this is taking meaningful action in lieu of directing effort to something that might actually help.
Brazen lying is another substitute for doing something productive.
The follow up question is: ok, what action are you going to take? When will you do it? We all know it’s bullshit, but call the bluff.
It’s not shocking to ne that you think that way your a let’s do nothing person
Their beliefs are "I have the right to be wrong and you all must submit." Faith is greed. God is fascist. My abuse never ended because people are still making excuses to defend baseless lies.
So he’s saying that since he’s praying which is not action, but he’s definitely not doing anything else… that he’s taking *no action*. Thanks for clearing that up, VP, but we noticed.
He's a two faced,racist,fascist moron.
Then DO SOMETHING douchebag!
Prayer is the definition of doing nothing to prevent future attacks.
bsky.app/profile/make...
God is totally pissed at you, Vance, along with all of the GOP child murderers! He has been saying "GUN CONTROL FOR THE LOVE OF GOD," but you are not listening!
If you want to pray after a mass shooting while you’re actually doing something to prevent another one then knock yourself out. If you’re using prayer as a substitute for meaningful action, you’re not fucking doing anything.
God may listen but it don't do shit. I wonder how many prayed to god during the holocaust on their way to the camps and gas chambers? God-Hey thanks for all the prayers. Keep them coming! But I will not do shit to help anyone unless they are toilet hugging drunk afraid to die from it.
Show he admits, he thinks we all owe him something for sitting on his ass and doing nothing.
He's taken 8+ lavish vacations so far since coming into office, what more can we ask of him? He even let us pay for them.
His own words betray him for the inaction he and his party commit on an hourly basis in every aspect of a free functioning democratic society.
