I'll give President Trump credit where it's due: He didn't fuck up one of the standard, elementary, do-nothing things the President can do after a natural disaster.

I'll bet his streak ends at one.

Making it on a Sunday makes it really convenient for true believers but I bet your ass won't be squeezing through the door of a church that day, might cut into your golf time.

Written that check for the relief effort yet? Didn't think so.

Asshole.

fund drive.

When I first saw the title, I thought he was declaring a day of prayer to ask God to get everybody off his back! Particularly, Mueller.

Wouldn't want to run afoul of the White Jesus patrol (with a nod to Boondocks re White Jesus)

OK, I have no evidence any such god squad exists. Just an imagination taking this to a logical and horrible extreme. Will talk myself down eventually!

the 3rd or around that was a day of prayer because I would pray that school wouldn't start. Good for trump he is making the day of praying for school not to start official.

How about getting up off your ass and do something to help.

Donnie, even your VP was smart enough to schedule a presser in Texas filming him in work gloves carrying trash out of a house..

If you are worried about all that hard work messing up your hair, hows about you just give a jingle to Vlad and ask him to lend you a few construction type dudes.

One isn't going to have any effect and the other will never happen.
