'There's Prayer on a Regular Basis in This White House': Mike Pence Reveals Faith Behind the Scenes

"There's prayer going on on a regular basis in this White House. And it's one of the most meaningful things to me, whether it's public meetings or not, I've lost count of the number of times that the president has nudged me, or nudged another member of the Cabinet and said, 'Let's start this meeting with prayer,'"



Well that puts my mind at ease

And here's to the churches of Trump and Pence
Where the cross, once made of silver, now is caked with rust
And the Sunday morning sermons pander to their lust
The fallen face of Jesus is choking in the dust
Heaven only knows in which God they can trust
Oh, here's to the land you've torn out the heart of
Trump and Pence, find yourself another country to be part of

to start a meeting, it is because he wants to look pious. Oh, and he wants to look around through his piggie eyes at the crowd.....like a four year old. I am waiting for the day when someone asks HIM to say the prayer. That will be epic, I am sure.

so Pence can go out and tell the world how pious Trump is, because Pence actually eats that shit up. I'm sure it never happens otherwise.

And they ended the start-of-meeting shtick with, "We pray in Jesus' name". I almost fell out of my chair.

What happened to multi-culti? Melting pot? E Pluribus Unum?

Jesus name my ass... I'm not a Christian, and I do not pray in Jesus' name.

or just fucking with the Fundies so he can sneak another tweet in while their boneheads are bowed.

Does Pence have children? I don't want to waste calling him a Mother fucker for nothing.

If shouting “Jesus Christ” after reading each Trump tweet count as prayer Then yes I guess there’s a lot of praying going on
