After her flippant reply to constituents’ worries about health care and food assistance cuts, Sen. Joni Ernst followed up with a brazen video filmed in a cemetery.

    Wow, she’s talking about embracing Jesus Christ in the same statement as taking away poor people’s healthcare to give tax cuts to billionaires. These Christians love to wear their mascot like a badge while completely contradicting the explicit lessons of the book.

      Christianity has become incredibly perverted. So many of those who identify with it would go to hell if it were real.

      They’ll throw six or seven figures at some charity owned by another rich asshole friend and call themselves Saints. I assume that’s how they trick themselves into thinking they’re anything but parasites.

    “But for those that would like to see eternal and everlasting life, I encourage you to embrace my lord and savior, Jesus Christ.”

    Oh, hey, well good for you. You have nothing to fear then. So get on with it you fucking psycho. Go feed yourself the business end of a shotgun instead of killing the poor and the helpless and let the rest of us work on cleaning up the mess your kind are making.

      I am beyond tired of “live and let live” when it comes to the religious right, when its influence negatively impacts the world so clearly, and its hunger for complete global subservience seems to never end.

      These people are FREAKS! It is literally a death cult, and its cultists are in charge of more than half the country! They belong in communes in the wilderness of Montana, not ruling the most powerful culture in human history. Not with their hands on the nuclear football and giving orders to 11 Carrier Battle Groups.

      Everyone should sever all ties with bible-thumpers. They need to either give up their delusions or be excised from civilization.

      We all die anyway right? So clearly we should all immediately kill ourselves and save on national resources!

        Nah every politician is supposed to serve not only their constituents but every civilian of the United States. Let’s get some real accountability, let’s restore the 5k donation limit. Let’s block insider trading. We dont need them to start this.

      She should just lead by example, and be proudly displayed 6 feet under. I mean, we’re all going to die after all, why should she wait? She can immediately make the world a batter place with this one little trick.
