The GOP and @JDVance have spent more time this week acting upset that "thoughts and prayers" are not a solution for gun violence than they have over the reality that the gun violence actually happened. It will continue to happen because "thoughts and prayers" is all they have.
It's all they want to have. They know damn well what could be done. As usual, they refuse to do it. NRA.....money!

And even those are fake.
They were literally praying when it happened. Not irony. Just sad.
😢
No thoughts, fake prayers, just hypocritical comments and lies ‼️‼️‼️ THROW THEM OUT ‼️‼️‼️‼️
Empty words from hollow heathens. They don't believe in prayer because if they did it would mean they believed in benevolence, but they disdain benevolence. And what God would accept it from any of them? What sort of monstrous God says: "they're evil, but they pray to me so all good"?
And what's so much worse, is that they know,with absolute certainty,that said "thoughts & prayers" are absolutely fucking useless! The only thing that will stop these slaughters is ACTION! Take away the guns!All of them.Make licenses impossible unless you're a farmer or an actual Huntsman! Do it!!
Nobody needs to hunt though, the stores sell food.
My point exactly!Only active soldiers engaged in warfare need to bear arms. The original reason for an "armed militia" has evaporated(‘cos if it's not now,against this tyrannical administration,then when?).America's sick,gun sick,preferring its guns to its children,& defend that stance,unbelievable!
Gun violence will continue to happen until everyone who is not in the GOP stops parroting their talking points and demands a ban on ALL guns.
They are portraying themselves as the victims, they make guns the victim too. It’s disgusting.
It’s not all they have…it’s all they choose to do.
Thoughts and prayers will not prevent another tragedy! We need more than that! The children deserve more than that!
We absolutely do. Thoughts & prayers is a useless platitude.
All they’re willing to have. Unless it happens to them or their loved ones (except for Scalise).
No, the GOP also has huge donations from the NRA to keep legislation at bay.
We can take action steps toward a solution to gun violence and send thoughts and prayers of support to the victims and families of it at the same time. But thoughts and prayers alone will solve nothing.
If it's going to be acceptable for Trump to nationalize corporations, then the Dems, if they ever take the WH, should nationalize the gun industry.
And they’re not really even thinking about the children and their families not are the actually praying for the children or their families. The cult has disdain for empathy.
They never do!
Think and pray as much as you like, but pass legislation banning assault weapons, bump stocks, and allowing anyone to get a gun!
Well, why not. It's worked all these years.
WORST: Thoughts and prays are useless BEST: Deliberate Dialogue paired with Data-Driven Insights followed by Thoughtful Actions instituted with enforceable Laws are more likely then not to show actual success B
Their only prayers are to T, their Daddy God.
It’s all they want to have, Fred. Real solutions would mean conflict with one of their largest supporters, the gun industry. We have no action on gun violence because they want none. Period.
They will not act until and unless they face personal tragedy.
They want that NRA money! Plus, the male MAGA Nazis need their guns to cosplay being soldiers, and to compensate for their tiny “hands”! 🤬
“Teensy widdle peepees and microscopic sad sacs”
And many are incels living in their mom’s basement.
Absofuckinglutely!
😡
“Thoughts and prayers “ allows them to keep kicking the can down the timeline.

now i think you're ready for jim jeffries unchained youtu.be/2Lw7UUrA_EE?...
I would STRONGLY posit that they don't actually have thoughts 🤬
If thoughts and prayers actually worked, these Evil Traitors of this Administration would already be gone along with their corrupt Republican leadership! So Sad for Americans who have worked so hard to make a difference for our country. Hate and Greed has no place in our society.
They aren’t praying, they’re faking. Christo-fascism is an affront to actual devoted Christians, who believe that love & service (including protection of our beloved children) is the highest priority.
That's not what they believe - they believe that if they 'devote themselves' to the cause then they will go to heaven. It is entirely selfish.
Yes, which is the perfect vehicle for Christo-fascism. And the varying levels of selfishness & hypocrisy are useful for the ‘cause.’
The actual devoted Christians I know personally believe, and act on their core belief— do unto others as you would have them do unto you and it’s not at all “selfish” — your assertion. Is 100% spot on Suzanne. It’s genuine compassion.
YES NANCY !! 🎯💛 Compassion is where it’s at…
If people need religion to be good, then they are not really good at all
I can’t really agree with that. Some folks need a reminder (even if it’s just once per week or on special occasions) to be aware of the goodness that flows from loving their fellow beings. Most folks I know who practice their religion, value that framework for refreshing those priorities. 1/2
I do agree that a repressive religion fails them. 2/2
All religion are repressive and rely on control. Religion was invented as a method of controlling the masses.
We’ll have to agree to disagree on this. The religion I practice empowers each of us with our individual gifts. Lumping all religion into one monolithic category is simplistic & prejudiced.
All religion is a monolithic category - every religion thinks their one is the 'right' one.
Nobody should need religion to 'remind' them to be good. To argue that 'goodness flows' in a church is very naïve. Religion is about power, control and money. Places of 'worship' are commonly places to victimise the weaker in society.
Again. This is a monolithic categorization of religion into one category. And, yes, people need reminders for all sorts of things. When the tumult of living sends us off kilter, a reminder of good is a very helpful thing. I hope you can find evidences of good in folks of all cultures & beliefs.
It is one category and if a person needs religion to tell them to be good then that is a fault in that person.
People are a mix of good, bad, indifferent and all other things. Religion doesn't make them somehow 'better'.
Thoughts and prayers are all they are willing to express. I doubt they actually spend much time in prayer and the thought they put in to it is how to spin their garbage ideas.
Thoughts? I've yet to be alerted to a meaningful thought coming from that cohort.
ROFL Guns Are NOT the Problem! If they Were The Issue Would not be a New phenomenon ! But yoh Knew that
I highly doubt they either think or pray.
It's not all they have, it's all they're willing to do. Nothing to prevent the needless death of children from gun violence.
Thoughts & prayers let them keep collecting NRA $$ to kill gun control... I notice they don't limit themselves to thoughts & prayers to try to correct trade imbalances. They don't just pray for tax breaks for the wealthy. The shit they really care about they work for. Children's lives not so much.
They were more upset about Cracker Barrel.
Adding a Tanka that I wrote after a previous mass shooting: Anger and a gun The mass shooting of the week News that isn’t news We offer to the victims The usual thoughts and prayers As if wishes would suffice
Compare how they responded when one single adult Doge bro was roughed up in DC. 🤔
And thoughts and prayers are, obviously, not worth shit.
It literally is all they have. They’ve lost their minds and have lost their spines.
JD is about to have a pant boat full of shit. Wait till the walls came in on him, it will be excellent.
They want to start arming kids in schools
And then we’ve got the senator from Minnesota who *didn’t* get shot pulling this INSANE level of obtuseness.
Thoughts and prayers equals your loss is not important and we have no plans to make any changes so it doesn't happen again.
If thoughts and prayers worked— they’d all be roasting in hell right now. 😁🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Not true....they also have a big bag of blood-sticky cash from the NRA! A 'bounty and bonus" to them, for your child's life.
They really like changing the topic when it comes to gun violence.
Gee, if “thoughts and prayers” are the answer, how about using that on the supposed immigration problem?
I don’t even give them that; their “thoughts” are wrapped in a hope this story goes away quickly, and their “prayers” are that there remain enough ignorant souls around to believe their b.s. They don’t want an end to this violence - wrap your heads around that.
The evidence is clear. Countries that effectively control guns have far fewer mass murders than the US
They don't even have those. They have empty words...and campaign contributions from the NRA.
All true. We are wasting the lives of our beautiful children for the sake of the NRA's false narrative that every American has the right to own as many guns as they want. I'm sick of the NRA and every single one of it's members.
People who rape children do not care if they are targets.
All they are willing to give/do
Truth
Wishing thoughts and prayers on the Republicans. May we have all the reasons to give them "thoughts and prayers" sarcastically.
Because they don’t give a shit about us..
They’ve, on purpose, ignored the fact that those kids were praying bcuz they know perfectly well that their deity is imaginary.
Respectfully, no. They have no thoughts & prayers, because they know that "thoughts & prayers" do nothing, which is what they are planning on, hoping for, paid for. As long as Congress does nothing, more school shootings = people buying more guns. Which enflames divisions. Which is what they want.
And you know that their only thoughts and prayers are about themselves and for themselves.
Both of their solutions are as empty as they are.
They continue to steer the conversation to *attacking religion* in order to avoid the real conversation this country needs
They are upset their thoughts and prayers no longer work as a distraction from the actual topic of conversation.
Actually, it's large amounts of $$ money from the NRA that they have, which is why thoughts and prayers is all that they will give.
The victims were praying. GOP and Vance prayers are worthless.
I believe they secretly applaud it because it will give pretext for deploying military.
They have more than that. They have "thoughts and prayers and Dark Money".
It's so outrageous!
Thoughts and prayers are not all they have. They just don't give a shit
All they will ever have. VOTE.
Because they are absolute hypocrites and because they also don’t care about these shootings. They really don’t. It’s a cult, and to them, this is “God’s will.” They are lunatics.
AND this is what they've always done. We've all seen the progression: "It's our Constitutional right!"; "Don't make it political"; "Thoughts and prayers"; and now "How dare you imply that OUR thoughts and prayers are not a sufficient reaction to dead children." WOW.

They are starting a maga youth organization. They will train kids to carry weapons and spy on community.
Any resource we can share on this news?
Ha. No, this was a joke. Scary you can't tell these days. I suspect they might try this soon
Right. They’re pretty much following the Shitler playbook. So it’s coming.
Certainly fascist playbook
That and Vance and his COUCH!
The people saying those things have never read the Bible and are not Christians.
I bet no one even said “thank you” for the thoughts and payers.🤦🏻♀️
They want Magas to have guns its plan B if trump and Project 2025 fails..
They don’t realize how the thoughts-and-prayers shtick has aged. Yoo Hoo! We’re done with you!
They are not leaders, they are just people who use faith and religion as an excuse to do nothing.
I mean, children’s safety is not exactly high on the GOP agenda.
The only logical conclusion: If prayer works, these people are praying for more shootings.
True and given the number of pedophiles they have in their ranks, whom they protect, they likely pray for them as well!
The kids were literally praying as they were gunned down.
When you have limited brain cells, you have a limited vocabulary. When you lack empathy, you have a limited vocabulary. Hence...that's all they've got.
When prayers don't prevent kids from being shot while at Mass...maybe it is time for plan B!

HD Vance is an Evil Theatre Kid. Nothing he does is genuine.
NOTE: thinking about and praying to the orange fatty are not a solution!
And they really don’t even have those!
Because he is an idiot. Just listen for a few seconds.
How utterly stupid must you be to ignore the need for gun control when you realize the mental level that voted for you. They can't be trusted with guns
When they think and they pray - what is that that they are supposedly praying for? If it’s to provide comfort to victims that’s nice and fine. But if it’s for a solution - they have the power to implement solutions themselves - and praying for them is just passing the buck.
Thoughts and prayers is all they have for dead children, but they will pile into rented vans, wear masks, and kidnap people off the street happily. They LOVE violence. They LOVE school shooting. They are thinking of how much they enjoy them, and praying for more.
And do we think they actually took time out of their day to actually pray for the victims? Nope.
They're pissed at the criticism. Nothing else. Not at children being murdered by guns. They uttered thoughts & prayers in public. Enough energy spent on continued mass shootings that happen only in America. They could do more, but the cowards don't want to lose NRA money.
They don’t care how many children die !!
We need livable wages, affordable rent, free or inexpensive cultural events, reformed political systems, an end to media consolidation, Universal Healthcare. Do these things and gun violence, non-gun violence, hell most of our societal problems will just melt away
They couldn't care less. They profit of the fun violence industry. They're just evil, vile, cruel, compulsively lying propagandists playing politicians.
Another "wE'Ve tRieD noThiNg anlNd we'rE aLL Out of iDeaS!"
Why don’t Trump and JDVance just equip the Army with thoughts and prayers - it’d save a lot of money that could be used to stop gun crime
Its their fig leaf to hide behind because we all know that prayer isn't a strategy. I also think that they don't want it to change.
Mislead, distract, & confuse. That is literally the only game they’re running. Accountability cannot be a part of a grift. And that’s what this is. This is organized crime. We are not a part of their mob. We are the dupes. They aren’t going to tell us. Wake up. They don’t care if we die.
Guns are the #1 cause of death for children ages 1-17 in the US. Not accidents. Not Cancer. GUNS!
This may be the most significant statistic in the whole argument.
I actually someone say to me yesterday " I admire your enthusiasm dear, but you might want to fact check your so called facts" answer: I am not your dear and secondly I dare you to argue my stats with the CDC, Harvard, and the AAP, then get back to me okay hun.
Projection, right? "Since I just spew stuff I hear without any critical thinking or research, I think everybody does that." Nope🤬
But only in the US. The greatest country in the world, run by a party that loves women and children so much they’ll pass laws to force moms to die in a hospital pkg lot, and prevent kids getting vaccines and healthcare. Vote to uphold child marriage. Bc, you know, for the children.
It's all, for the women children, you know eugenics. History repeating itself from the early 1900s Early American Eugenics Movement – First Wave Feminisms share.google/ZRaesD97lXTk...
Okay but the real question is if they think prayer works why won't God answer their prayers? Is it because they're bad Christians?
#FuckyourThoughts&Prayers #GunControlNOW
#FelonTrump #PapaCherry
I wouldn't exactly trust their prayers either and let's not even talk about their thoughts 🤯
I think they're throwing everything they can at this because they plan to do nothing. They can politicize this. It deflects the focus on the Epstein files. Its a good show for their base who need to have guns to prove their "manliness" They can minimize the impact of Americans who can't get vaccines
Nothing is wrong with Prayer but even God wants us to be proactive in solving our problems. The GOP and all of them have no clue what Christianity is all about.
How do you know what a mythical sky fairy wants?
That’s right — God gave us brains so that we can discern need for action vs need to obfuscate. #GetAClueCongress
The thoughts and prayers that repugs really have is I prayed it doesn't happen to me better them than any of mine!
Why don't thoughts and prayers work for immigration?
We’re tired of watching tragedy after tragedy while the GOP does nothing but send well wishes, our children deserve safe schools, not hollow sympathy.
The real absurdity is thinking any GOPer has ever had a thought about anything or said a prayer for anyone else's benefit.
Same shit. Same outcome. Maga
That’s because they lack any kind of intelligence
Instead of trying to curb gun purchases you need to focus on changing the "love of the gun" culture. This is the only way it will cease.
And “thoughts and prayers” are useless in stopping gun violence.
The Right hates children. They're willing to let them be abused, r*ped, starved, sickened, and die to gratify their egos.
These children were literally praying when they were attacked. And clearly that didn't protect them.
1. Mass ahooting 2. GOP screams preemptively “now isn’t the time to address gun control!!!! You’re being disrespectful to the families!” 3. Mass shooting 4. GOP screams preemptively “it’s too early to talk about change!” 5. Mass shooting 6. GOP screams “what’s wrong with thoughts and prayers!”
THE SINGLE BEST ARGUMENT FOR VOTING OUT ALL REPUBLICANS AND VOTING IN A SUPERMAJORITY OF DEMOCRATS: THE SENSELESS KILLINGS OF INNOCENTS FOR DECADES. DEMOCRATS WILL ENACT COMMON SENSE GUN LAWS, REPUBLICANS WILL NOT. IF YOU DO NOT CARE FOR THE WELFARE OF CHILDREN, YOU HAVE NO SOUL,YOU HAVE NO MORALS.
Every MAGA politician and supporter can line up with spoons and eat my fucking ass.
No. Outrage is all they have. At anything that anyone not pro Trump says or does.
