George Conway:
1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me, except thou shalt followeth thy Orange Jesus over any moral cliff.
2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, unless thou shalt have purchaseth it on http://DonaldJTrump.com.
3. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain, except when thou shalt attacketh Brandon or thy RINOs.
4. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy, unless thou attendeth a musical production in Denver.
5. Honour thy father and thy mother, and burieth thy mother on thy fathers golf course.
6. Thou shalt not kill, but thou shalt shooteth looters on sight, and puteth alligators in thy moat to keepeth out the Mexicans.
7. Thou shalt not commit adultery, but if thou shalt do so with thy porn star, thou shalt payeth her off through an intermediary and falsifieth thy accounting records.
8. Thou shalt not steal, unless thou needeth to steeleth one moreth than a certain number of popular votes or unless thou can hideth thy stollen documents at thy bathroom in thy resort.
9. Thou shalt not bear false witness. LOL.
10. Thou shalt not covet (but seeth nos. 2, 4, 7, and 8 aboveth).
Greg Steube:
Mike Johnson is a strong conservative, but above all else, he is a strong Christian. Hes not afraid to look to his faith for guidance. America needs that more than ever in the U.S. House.
I look forward to voting for Mike Johnson as our next Speaker🇺🇸

#Trolls can attack me (& God will punish you/them for it), but you should have gone in a private room to pray, or in the very least, NOT used a prayer for a political opportunity! That was NOT act of Biblical Christianity!

(49,064 posts)They pray privately or in church or in a quiet corner away from cameras and crowds and intense public scrutiny.
There is a bible verse on this exact issue.
But Republicon christianists cherry pick the bible.

5) And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have their reward.
6) But when you pray, go into your room, close the door, and pray to your Father who is unseen. Then your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.

And he demands there are no gods before him. The wrath of God Donald strikes more fierce than that invisible fake ghost in the sky.
God Donald controls their fate here and now. Thats much more important than after death. They cant take their cash with them after death.
GQP Christians have never been concerned with the future, all about Cash Now. Its my cash and I need it NOW. The Worthington Plan is the GQP platform.

Liz Truss Lettuce
On 14 October 2022, the British tabloid newspaper the Daily Star began a livestream of an iceberg lettuce next to a framed photograph of Liz Truss, who had recently been appointed the prime minister of the United Kingdom. This act followed an opinion piece in The Economist that compared the expected brevity of Truss's premiership to the shelf life of a lettuce, with the October 2022 United Kingdom government crisis occurring just weeks into her tenure and leading many political commentators to opine that Truss's resignation would be imminent. She announced her resignation as prime minister on 20 October 2022, before the lettuce had wilted; the Daily Star subsequently declared the lettuce "victorious" over Truss.
