Pay to Pray. Literally selling religion as a commodity without even a hint of irony. I'm not religious, but anybody who is ought to be really offended that a president thinks their prayers can be bought and paid for.

It's not like this is the first time religion has been used to profit.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 days ago (2 children)

It should be used for prophet, instead!

Sorry, I'll leave.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That was great, you can stay, but also stop giving them ideas .. no-one needs the Prophet Trump ..

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yet that's basically what he is. He's the prophet of the MAGA religion.

[–] Mirshe 2 points 2 days ago

Depends on which side you ask. There's a significant portion that have, effectively, replaced Christ with Trump entirely.

He shall now forever hereafter be known in my head as “the lost profit.”

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Obviously not. But for an incoming presidents inauguration it is.

I hope.

How much to punch him in the face?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

Why stop there? You have a time and location.

[–] Allonzee 8 points 2 days ago

I'm a fan of The Righteous Gemstones too.

[–] demizerone 21 points 3 days ago

That's called bribery and it's legal.

Damn, almost gotta respect the grift... Almost.

Hmmmmm I saw that before. Something about letters of indulgence.

Hey laser lips!

Los Locos kick your balls into outter space!

They should remake both movies, but like shot for shot remake, with the original cast. Ali Sheedy, Steve Guttenberg, even Fisher Stevens in problematic brown-face. Spend a ridiculous amount of money on CG and practical effects, all to make it look as close to the original movies as possible but with old people.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I don't picture Guttenberg as someone that can appear in public anymore. Like he's physically unable to go out. That's my head cannon.

Edit: I was curious and searched. He just looks like the guy next door now. Im kinda disappointed. No where near what i was imagining, and not anything like he used to look like. Just... middle of the road.
I also never realized how jacked he was back in the day.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

That's a movie which I wouldn't pay to see, but I'd read the hell out of every article and review

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

For me, it was Ezekiel 23:20. But then again, that one is always on my mind 😏

“Each of you must have a spade as part of your equipment. Whenever you relieve yourself, dig a hole with the spade and cover the excrement”?

Im only charging $10 to pray with me (honest. No scam)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

$9 here, and I’ll tell you I love you.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

$5 and I'll parody that subway jingle

[–] Lemminary 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

$1 and you get a happy ending.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Sold.

Here is the dollar, kill me.

Is there life on mars? 😞

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

It's a god-awful small affair

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago

Bleed em dry lol

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

So the Zuckerberg, Bezos, Altman etc overpaid by paying 1 million?

[–] Lemminary 1 points 2 days ago

That's underpaying compared to their future earnings.

[–] werefreeatlast 1 points 2 days ago

Clearly didn't read the Bible because it says the sky daddy is everywhere looking at you. Even when you're popping or fucking. He's right there waiting to give you cancer, heart attack, accidents etc. Certainly not waiting there to give you an apple juice or a burger.

Scams that target people who are already struggling financially? Boo! Scams that target people who are okay with and can afford stupid shit like this? lmao!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I would probably view this as kissing the ring/or a legal bribe vs a scam, it's not like he's just gonna forget about the people paying this much money to do this with him. I think a lot of people in this thread are viewing this as a scam and not just buying access which can pay in dividends if you are the right rich person to benefit from having Trump as your friend.

[–] Substance_P -2 points 3 days ago

Yawn..who cares at this point.
