[NewHendoLib]

Any politician who utters that hypocritical bullshit after the next (inevitable) senseless tragedy .... Can't post the rest

5. If they were honest, they'd say "I don't fucking care"

[Frasier Balzov]

6. How about "Oh well shit happens."

[TheRealNorth]

7. I thought they had a new line

Can't recall it, but they were talking about it on Stephanie Miller this AM. No doubt it's been tested and approved by a Frank Luntz focus group.

8. Well, Cruz raised it to "fervent" prayers, so the clock is reset. Fervent prayers -

why didn’t they think of that earlier?

9. It's republican for "Jack Shit".

When a republican is asked what they're going to do about gun violence and they answer "thoughts and prayers", it means they're going to do jack shit.

[AndyS]

11. Add 'law abiding citizen' to the list along with

'responsible gun owner'.

12. I heard that several

senators including Sinema are using the phrase, "horrified and heartbroken" instead of thoughts and prayers...

[llmart]

13. I'm horrified and heartbroken...

that Sinema is a Democrat.

[NewHendoLib]

14. Well, that will certainly fix things

[TheRealNorth]

15. That was it

It's the new "Thoughts and Prayers"

[allegorical oracle]

16. Amen. nt
