Yet another Sikh man misidentified as a Muslim (not that it would matter if they were) by some backwood dumb fuck using weaponized religion.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Surprise twist: He redirected all your Christian prayers to Waheguru and you're all now an additional cycle away from Mukti.
Why does the House of Representatives even have prayer in the mornings to begin with?
Seriously. When is the designated time for thoughts?
“Thoughts and prayers!”
“Uh we’d like some more thoughts, please.”
“Well we’re OUT of thoughts! We only had three bits and we didn’t expect such a rush.”
“So my choice is ‘and prayers’? I’ll have the chicken then, please.”
Because 'Murica
Because the foundation of US instritutions was largely Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V from Westminster, where morning prayers are the only time MPs are allowed to come and reserve a seat for the rest of the day. It’s probably a lot more attended in the American version though.

Mary Miller represents district 15 which surrounds but does not include both Springfield and St. Louis. It is 90% white, 2.9% black, and 2.8% Hispanic. There are basically no non-Republican elected officials above the county level and voted overwhelmingly for Trump. This district became home of the second resurgence of the KKK in Illinois in the 1920s and has stayed their home through resurgences in the 1950s and 1990s.
One of the most insufferable people I have ever known lives in her district. He moved there willingly because of politics. I cut ties entirely over a year ago and it's been great.
I almost feel less bald for it. (A lie.)
I hate Illinois Nazis.
Illinois redistricted recently and it was gerrymandered to fuck to make sure that her district was absolutely backwoods conservative as possible. It practically ensures Illinois will swing blue for the next decade. She's unfortunately my representative, but I'll live with that reality knowing that my existence as her constituent pisses her off and Illinois stays blue.
These racist politician assholes should never ever be allowed to represent us in government.

Fucking idiot piece of shit jesu-fried fuckwit.
Religion is cancer.
Also a mental disorder.
I think it is far more troubling if the world's only superpower regularly has prayer sessions in their top leadership...
China?
this woman has no knowledge of any event before lunch today
Chicagoan here. Like I always say, the souther you go the Kentuckier you get. And this is just central IL. Fuck her bitch face.
Wow, this is exactly what someone who 1. doesn’t practice real Evangelical Christianity would say 2. would believe not having studied the most basic of United States history.
The separation of Church and State is exactly that. The Colonist came to North American because they didn’t like how the Church of England was being operated. In practice they might not have wanted other religious groups to have such freedom but if you try to take the Bill of Rights and Constitution at face value, then you as a person in the United States government have no reason to judge them for being a non-Christian. Much like how I much challenge you to prove you belong to a well regulated militia when you own a gun.

😂 🤣
As if whatever lessons she may have been exposed to in school were not simply written off as the school personnel trying to "groom her" and/or "fuck up her faith" for their own liberal ends...

I mean, let’s be real. The Pilgrims caught a ride. This country was basically founded by tobacco companies. The Virginia and Plymouth companies weren’t charities.
Can't wait for TST to show up!
Cancel her ass and move along. She doesn't deserve any attention other than to oust her from office
Would this be considered ad hominem?
