Might be just me but this does not comfort me in any way.

[Autumn]

In light of the current situation it kind of irritates me.
Thoughts and prayers

1. On the we are fuckedometer

This breaks the glass.

[Intractable]

2. This awful tweet has already been posted on DU and is being discussed here ...

15. It should be posted until he fucking apologizes.

This is way worse than that thoughts and prayers bullshit.

[Intractable]

16. I knew we needed new leadership in the Senate. I thought we were okay in the house until this tweet.

What's he trying to say? Don't worry, God is in charge.

Then, for what purpose do we need a minority speaker?

[Autumn]

18. It's bad enough hearing that religious nut fuckery nonsense from republicans,

trump and his fucking sleezeballs but it's sickening hearing it from the leader of our party.

[GPV]

3. Not just you. A) it's piss-poor leadership, and B) it leaves out all of us not represented by that (or any other)

religion.

[stopdiggin]

4. Hmmmm.

That would of course be the same god that oversees and allows .......

Sure. Okay.

5. Hey Hakeem,...

... read up on the Separation of Church and State,...

... then get back to us.

What the fuck is this ?
Buy-bull School ?

[Skittles]

6. it's crap

I wish politicians would not indulge in that fucking nonsense

[yourout]

7. If he's on the throne it would explain why Trump was allowed to be elected twice.

He needs to get off the throne and protect the poor and the vulnerable.

[Autumn]

13. In all fairness this god has been kind of busy taking care of his favorite people and

doing a lot of smiting on Palistinian children, women and men.

[claudette]

8. That doesn't bring much comfort

Since it’s the same God that didn’t answer our prayers for the orange felon to lose the election. What is that god going to do for us now, Jeffries?

[choie]

9. It more than irritates me.

It fucking repulses me. I'm a New Yorker and this is a damn outrage.

[Klarkashton]

10. "it's a private club and you ain't in it" -Carlin.

[Mike 03]

11. Uggg.

There are certain people who, when we feel anxious and overwhelmed, take comfort in spiritual matters. But I don't read it as any kind of positive signal.

And I cannot see the word "throne" without thinking of a gold toilet seat surrounded by stacks of classified documents.

[brush]

12. Agreed. Need something stronger than that. But OTOH, Rep. Jefferies knows...

he holds quite a strong hand in the house as the rethug majority is wafer thin and Johnson will often have to come begging to him hat-in-hand to get any bills through the House.

[Autumn]

19. And should we Democratic voters have to come begging to him hat-in-hand

for him to fight for we people who are in the crosshairs of the Republicans? Because I have no faith in some pretend despot sitting on a gold throne on a fucking cloud . We already have that, it's name is Donald Trump.

[brush]

37. Let's get one thing straight. He's a Democrat who is not asking for anything...

of other Democrats but a bit of patience after only FIVE DAYS INTO THE IDIOT'S ADMIN. I'd say he's got way more inside info and experience than any of us bashing him here. And btw, isn't that a violation of DU rules, bashing prominent Dems?

We've seen the mistakes and miscalculations of trump's moves before. Why do you think things are going to get any better this time around for the mentally declining fool who appointed drunkard rapist for Sec'y of Defense who will lead our military? Ya thing that drunk will do well in that job? I don't.

Five days in? Come on. It'll be rough for a while but he's going to fuck up. Prices are already rising and RFK jr and Russian asset Gabbard, two other 'winners'. will soon be in the clown car cabinet too.

[Autumn]

38. His words were fucking stupid and offensive. He can fucking own that.

All he did was show me that in this shit I'm on my own. Not even the leader of the democrattic paarty understands what we are going though. You bet your ass that drunkin rapist fool who is Sec'y of Defense is going to put us in a hell of a lot of danger, every fool he appointed is. And the best our '"leader' can come up with is some pretend despot he trusts is going to make things better? What a fucking farce this is.

[brush]

39. TOC violation.

[Think. Again.]

14. Why do people feel comfortable sharing their delusions...

...a though everyone shares them?

[Biophilic]

17. The first time I read this I thought it said that god was still on the phone. This made sense to me.

Considering history god has not been exactly a force for good. Yes, I'm very angry about this post considering it is the first real thing I've heard from Jeffries.

[Intractable]

21. "Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? ..."

“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?”

― Epicurus

[yardwork]

20. Right there with you.

What the actual fuck.

[Autumn]

23. If this is what we get from leadership we are on our own. Might as well

abandon ship. There is no hope of anyone who will fight to save us.

[Celerity]

31. ...

so............................................

[spanone]

22. Whistling past the graveyard, sir?

[Autumn]

24. Only a fool thinks we will recover from what Trump is doing. And he

will do a lot of damage in four years.

[spanone]

25. Agreed.

[Rebl2]

26. Same here

[yaesu]

27. Zero comfort for me but as a member of the church of the flying spaghetti monster I have found that a plate

of good homemade spaghetti can take the edge off while fascists are in charge.

[Biophilic]

29. Tried that this evening, didn't help. Perhaps I'm not dedicated enough.

Jeffies has me really ticked off. Even spaghetti didn’t sooth my soul. Sigh.

[Baron2024]

28. That Is Some Weak Sauce

He might as well have said "Fascist Dictators Come And Go". We are not getting much from most of our elected officials. I think Gavin Newsom has some idea of the gravity of the situation. To Hakeem Jefferies- show some backbone and address Trump for what he is - Not a President but a Dictator.

[Swede]

30. Which god? There over 5000 of them.

I like Thor.

[DavidDvorkin]

32. Ugh.

[mountain grammy]

33. Very disappointing.

I thought he was above this.

[SamKnause]

35. Bullshit.

An imaginary entity sitting on its imaginary throne is of no help.

I am so sick of this nonsense.

It is 2025.

Prove this 'god' and throne you speak of exists.

If this was meant to be comforting you failed miserably.

We need a new enlightenment.

This shit is getting ridiculous.

How can we fight Christian Nationalism with our side spouting this nonsense ???

[Jack Valentino]

36. Tell God to cut that turd off short, and get back on the job!

[LuckyCharms]

40. Weak statement, congressman. Time to stand up, and not by using this fucking nonsense statement.

Your God is drunk drunk right now.

Take the gloves off and start swinging, congressman.
