Jesus:

I want no motherfuckin' part of this shit.

takes hand off wheel

[–] credo 13 points 5 months ago

Or maybe he just gave it a little nudge?

[–] werefreeatlast 2 points 5 months ago

There were no fast moving cars back then. I think Jesus just fucked up. Although, you know he's been around the entire time cars have been around. So maybe you're right and he just let go of the wheel. Heck maybe he did it on purpose!

Looks like Jesus has taken all the wheels.

[–] Maggoty 20 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

They forgot to specify "controlling" the vehicle. Jesus did what they asked. It's not their fault!

[–] WhatIsThePointAnyway 48 points 5 months ago

I guess Jesus took the wheel and derailed the Trump train. 🤣

Judges 1:19:

Now the Lord was with Judah, and they took possession of the hill country; but they could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had iron chariots.

Dealing with vehicles has never really been a terribly strong point for God.

Yeah, the pole was on the Left. It's all good.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 5 months ago

The best prediction pole so far

Though its occupants were not immediately identified, the Post reported that the bus was “known to belong to” Donna Eiden and Rocky Granata, a Pennsylvania couple who criss-cross the country to hawk pro-Trump merchandise at his rallies.

Grifters upon grifters...

[–] MojoMcJojo 3 points 5 months ago

I've entertained the idea of traveling around to grift the grifters, but selling trump swag back to trumpers sounded too easy to be legal.

“It was parked by the CVS and it just rolled down,” a witness can be heard saying in the video. “Nobody was in it.” “Holy crap,” another person replies, adding that it was a “freaking miracle” no one was hurt.

Well, there you go. Jesus helped 'em out a little, I guess

[–] [email protected] 35 points 5 months ago (1 children)

"That was a warning."

-Jesus

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Jesus saves!

(us from them)

[–] Lost_My_Mind 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I always thought Jesus should be a goaltender.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

i'm no longer christian but the idea of imagining jesus as a goalie, hell as the net, our souls as the ball/puck, and sins as the other players is kind of amusing to me.

[–] Lost_My_Mind 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

See I went the opposite way in my head.

He's still Jesus. It's still like 25AD or whatever......but Jesus is just like "hey guys.....wanna build an ice rink?"

And everyone else is like "Dammit Jesus.....WE can't perform miricles like you! We're in the middle of the god damned arabian desert, and you want like 9,000 gallons of water in a controlled environment. Then you somehow expect that water to freeze cold, instead of evaporate and absorb into the sand. THEN.....you want to get one of those.....what were they called? Zamboni??? Not even sure what that is. But you say it's going to smooth the ice, so we can attatch knives to our sandles, so we can glide on ice. ALL OF THIS in an attempt to stick 10 guys on the ice with long sticks, to swipe at this black thing to get it into the net........just gonna say it Jesus. I think you've been turning water into wine again. You have a problem.

Flash forward 3 weeks later, and the Jerusalim Saints (probably butchered the spelling) are up 5-0 as the game ends, against the Red Sea Monsters.

And afterwards he was like "See? I told it'd be fun! We won because Jesus Saves.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

in this timeline, Jesus taught them all how to walk on water - by freezing it first :D

The pole was clearly placed there by the liberal war machine

Obama? Get real. Obama is, and always has been, Hunter Biden’s puppet. You want proof? Hunter had a laptop. Why would anyone other than a criminal mastermind who secretly rules the world own a laptop?

Always be careful who you let take the wheel.

“This right after Trump gets declared guilty,” the person continued. “Unbelievable. If ever you needed a metaphor.”

[–] Deadeyegai 11 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I'm sure it couldn't have happened to more deserving people. They always seem to be a menance on the roads at all times. But good lord, how much money have these people spent on just MAGA merch? That inside is plastered wall to wall. A fool and their money, i suppose....

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

Sadly, they are selling the fascist merch, according to the article.

If you thank god for letting you have your trumpmobile, you gotta thank god for crashing it too.

Because the Daily Beast has a terrible pay wall and doesn’t play well with some ad blockers.

[–] psycho_driver 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Looks like he came through on this one.

[–] FuglyDuck 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Aw. Bus driver still alive.

And so is Trump.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Why'd you have to go ruin my day like that?

[–] Sam_Bass 5 points 5 months ago

We already know they cant take a hint
