Has anyone seen thoughts and prayers being offered this time? Dare they with all the mockery? ?

Just saw this cartoon and wondered with all the mockery if they will consider it not politically expedient to offer thoughts and prayers this time. Maybe they are substituting "We have to do more for mental health."

Tweeted yesterday asking for people to join her in prayers for the victims. The responses are brutal. She is getting raked over the coals.

to a retreat somebody tongue in cheek posted 'thoughts and prayers'. And i thought that was some ninja warrior words. Posted it here. Then took it down because you should not joke about congress critters getting hurt. But it was not a joke come to think of it.
