What if God's plan and purpose was for these federal workers to continue doing a good job for their country, and Donald Trump and Elon Musk are thwarting that plan and purpose?

Reposted from Hemant Mehta

During a meeting with constituents, Republican Congressman Mark Alford of Missouri had a simple response for federal workers who lost their jobs due to Elon Musk:

“God has a plan and purpose for your life.”

It didn’t go over well.

Missouri: also the home of Josh Hawley. Chock-full of looney-tunes.

MAGA justification for everything is to invoke God and Jesus! I think God has a concept of a plan and it is not going well!

People have been comparing Trump to the Antichrist for a few years now. Those comparisons seem more relavent every year.

Rep. Alford, I can only hope I live long enough to see the plan he has for yours.

Why does God fire people and then hire them back the next day. I really think Elon Musk does that on his own. I do believe he is being guided by prophetic visions.

Republicans in Congress are cowering in fear over losing THEIR jobs if they speak up about or block the atrocities of Trump/Musk. So, it’s incredibly rich for this clown to be telling OTHERS to simply accept losing THEIR jobs because it’s part of God’s plan.

WAYNE GRETZKY. If you will stand by and watch the criminal American president co-opt you and your reputation to assist his efforts to annex your home then you are without honour. You should be ashamed. Speak up!!

So "The Plan" for Donald and Elon is to destroy our country and make a lot of people miserable while they are at it?

kspi.bsky.social•7 days ago

I think God's plan is to vote this Republican boot licker out of office!

I’m not a Christian but more and more I’m starting to believe that he’s their antichrist. He fits every metric.

For those outside the generally moderate to liberal Kansas City region, Alford was a KC Fox News anchor for 23 years before running for a safe Republican seat in western Missouri. Belton is a south-side suburb.

Barry Goldwater warned everyone what would happen if Evangelicals and fake Evangelicals ever got into government, and it has come to pass.

Look at the old white man. Are his constituents as soulless?

..... here's what is far more likely -

These people aren't Christians.They are Nationalist. They have no idea what the word Christian means. There is no moral compass and no compassion. Jesus will not recognize any of them. They worship the hypocritical blasphemous lying trump because he hates the same people they hate.

People who think God made Trump president never seem to remember that God gave Israel corrupt kings in order to punish it for its sins.

I guess God's plan for Mr. Alford is to have him show a total lack of empathy and to lie to his constituents.

turbineseaplane.bsky.social•7 days ago

Didn't Gods tell people to fly airplanes into buildings too? Not sure we should be relying on Gods, of any kind, to guide policy in the modern world.

That is without a doubt the dumbest fucking thing I've ever heard! FUCK TRUMP AND DOUBLE-FUCK MUSKRAT!

Good one Bill! Perfect answer. #GodsPlan

spazman1836.bsky.social•7 days ago

Guess it’s “Gods will” for them to cut benefits for the hungry and elderly as well even though the gospels say explicitly to do the opposite.

The fuck do I know though, I’ve just read the Bible 🤷

These ostentatiously religious Republicans better look in the mirror before telling the rest of us what to do.

billejzak.bsky.social•7 days ago

Never has Marx's statement that "Religion is the opiate of the masses," been more true.

ristox.bsky.social•7 days ago

Good luck finding people who has skills in the future working for government. Why would anyone waste their time with these people. They think god will also provide necessary workers, they will fall from sky and you don't have to pay them anything.

battlebee55.bsky.social•6 days ago

So glad you were not one of the ones bamboozled by the orange man.

pamsstories.bsky.social•7 days ago

And Mark Alford presumes to know what that plan is? Well God is telling me Mark Alford has lost his way and should leave Congress.

The equivalent of "thoughts and prayers"....

drmkb.bsky.social•7 days ago

“God has a plan” is up there with “everything happens for a reason” in condescending bs

briecodes.bsky.social•6 days ago

I get what you're thinking, I do. But. There is no one who can "thwart" God's plan. God gave us free will, and all this we live through is just part of that. Trust that in the end, God prevails. In the meantime, a whole lot of suffering... and it sucks, to be sure. 🙏🏼

And when they lose Medicaid, VA benefits and likely reductions to Medicare and Social Security--all to help pay for tax cuts for the rich--will this be the response. God's plan.

tdalt.bsky.social•7 days ago

Exactly! I’m all for God’s plan, but the devil is working extra hard right now!

More and more Republicans are members of that anti-christian nationalist russian fake religion.

tulliuscicero43.bsky.social•7 days ago

Purporting to know what God's plan is as this Congressman does and having it align conveniently with one's own nefarious politics is the kind of hubris that gets people smacked down hard in Greek tragedies.
