Trump supporters pray in front of Nevada counting centre as crucial ballots tallied

Source: Independent

Clark County Electoral Department has also been targed by Trump-supporting protesters as Joe Biden holds narrow lead in the state

A group of Donald Trump's supporters gathered outside a Nevada counting centre as votes were being tallied to pray for the president's re-election.

A video broadcast by ABC News showed several Trump supporters kneeling in prayer on the ground outside the Clark County Election Department as counting continued in the potentially pivotal state on Thursday.

It came with the president's Democratic challenger Joe Biden narrowly ahead in Nevada and just one or two state victories away securing enough electoral college votes to enter the White House.

Nevada where election results have been delayed, is the smallest state yet to yield clear results but could still be crucial in propelling Mr Biden to the presidency.

Groveling publicly before the Ancient of Days, the Almighty Gawd, and His Host Invisible on Trump's behalf.

It's the nutcase violent Trumpies who are dangerous, days before election day, the head of the "3 percent" group openly advocated shooting democrats.

That crowd of Trumpies in Michigan should be busted for what they are doing too, trying to prevent counting ALL the votes.

Chief Craig of Detroit PD in Wayne County "already" had his corps of officers down there. He KNEW this was going to happen and he "handled his business". Plus Trumpers know better than to start stuff anywhere where "Big Momma" is helping to count the vote. Because if the police didn't deal with them then the "homies" from the HOOD will!!!!

Wondered if they prayed for:
children in cages
for the saftey of our troops with a bounty on their heads
and the thousands of americans who died of Covid due to Trump's incompetence

Can't list anymore...too pissed off about it

...and I see three people wearing masks. Stupidity AND Covid are at epidemic proportions.

God will not allow anyone to "co-sign" Him to a ruthless agenda. Especially when it entails "eroding" our Democracy. In addition they're too busy praying for "Saul". And in the book of Kings even GOD Himself told Samuel in so many words to "STOP praying for him..." 1 Sam. 16:1

they'll be taking that same god's name in vain. If their god says, "NO" they certainly won't accept their god's decision. I guess they think this is a proactive approach, but they may as well throw pennies in a wishing well as far as I'm concerned.

The Republican Party's only hope is their racist messaged and support for ownership of deadly military combat guns. Let me make it very clear that I believe that only a very small number of people who would own these weapons would ever use them to kill people. However, I would like them to consider that it is a fact that these weapons in the hands of only a few people have been the source of horrible killing such as the children in Sandy Hook. It is for this reason that I will gladly support the strict control of these weapons identical to the regulations concerning ownership of machine guns. Ownership of machine guns, such as Tommy guns, that were the weapons of choice of gangsters during the prohibition era or any device that would enable the modification of guns to automatic fire capability.

I wouldn't wish it on them, but wouldn't that put a damper on the Republican Party? Religious conservatives would switch parties in a second. Franklin Graham would have to call for Trump to be stoned.

I suspect that NV deliberately saved counting the bluest ballots for last. And while you're at it, multiply that strategy by WI, AZ and PA.

They're taking a knee in protest because God is unfair to them. I mean, if their God wanted Trump to win, it would have already happened in a landslide. It's not like He waits by his prayer phone to made aware of a situation that needs attention. He already knew and He doesn't like Trump.

Those Trumpies don't have a prayer.

.... I mean.... what kind of people pray for hate? For murder? For civil unrest? I mean... are THESE supposed to be "christian ideals"?

As a atheist I have more morals than these people.
