As far as I can see, her original statement had nothing directly to do with ensuring good governance and an effective legislature. However, there appears to be a human need among at least some humans to have a moment reflection before embarking on an arduous task. I see this in sports as well as some legislatures, and I would guess that her original address was written with that in mind.

The "prayer" to start the sessions has been replaced with an invocation. She was doing her invocation.

I must say I don't agree with you. I think invocations are mostly bullshit time wasters. Christianity gets a pass on this all the time. Why that old dog turd did what he did is obvious, to piss on her thoughts. Bring in a a pack of mongrels to piss on him everytime he stands up. Again I am not a fan of her speach, but, if they seem to need an invocation every time a session opens, then they must put up with hers.

If they do not wish to hear hers, then the turd balls can just remove them from the itinerary. They should shut the fuck up.

When you go to work, leave your Jesus's nailed firmly on your wall at home. Take a fresh road pizza put it in a screw cap jar and add a dog turd and maybe pee in it, screw the lid on tight and leave in the sun for a week. Then every time you , everytime you feel the need to Preach/Testify, Crack that jar open and breathe.

That is everything your god made and an inspiration. But I think after the first few times, you will lose the urge to Preach, Speak in Tongues or Testify.

You will also know what many think of your religion.

@praytothemilkjug ..... of course you are right, invocations and most else "democratic"legislators do is bullshit. but as we fret over the religious slights of opposing morons, the ice caps are melting.

@holdenc98 If the ice caps are melting, why are you wasting time by posting comments here?

@holdenc98 Dave I am making icecubes as fast I can and am prepared to send them to the north pole any day they are requeasted. Until then I let other use them in G&T's and keep the beers cold! :-}

@praytothemilkjug .very funny. i don't think you guys understand whats at stake, there are lots of good global warming/ 6th mass extinction movies i would recomend for yall. leonardo decaprio"s 11TH HOUR, or the NOVE:EARTH FROM SPACE to name 2 . step up!

@holdenc98 I do, my one kid won't have kids, the other is probably not going to have kids as well. The engineer kid one day shared his thoughts "Dad what the earth needs is a solid global pandemic 100X the 1917 Spanish Flue, like this week or tomorrow" the following year COVID.

I can either weep daily or at least have a chuckle as the world slowly becomes uninhabitable, by humans.

We piss our fish bowl too much.

agreed!

I would like to see what censure he faced,

@TomMcGiverin sorry Tom but it still does because I am lmfao

@Lorajay, @Apunzelle It is probably my device. I've had this Chromebook about 3 years now I think.
