A young woman brought her fiancé home to meet her parents. After dinner, her mother told the girl's father to find out about the young man.
The father invited the fiancé to his study for a talk. "So, what are your plans?" the father asked the young man.
"I am a biblical scholar," he replied.
"A biblical scholar, hmmm?" the father said. "Admirable, but what will you do to provide a nice house for my daughter to live in?"
"I will study," the young man replied, "and God will provide for us."
"And how will you buy her a beautiful engagement ring, such as she deserves?" asked the father.
"I will concentrate on my studies," the young man replied, "God will provide for us."
"And children?" asked the father. "How will you support children?"
"Don't worry, sir, God will provide," replied the fiancé.
The conversation proceeded like this...and each time the father questioned, the young idealist insisted that God would provide.
Later, the mother asked, "How did your talk go, honey?” The father answered, "He's a Democrat. He has no job, he has no plans, and he thinks I'm God."
Anyone else here a God?

That was completely inappropriate.
I loved it.

I think the number of Republicans whose financial start in life depends on their parents is, to put it mildly, non-negligible.
A case in point is currently in the White House, is he not?

That's the problem with this supernatural stuff, it doesn't really solve anything. It's a placeholder for ignorance.

Somebody doing "biblical studies" is definitely a Republican.
And, yeah, the current crop of entitled born to riches useless elitists in the White House can't be commented on.

Yeah, sometimes you just have to laugh at reality! And then just keep working hard and providing in hopes it once again takes traction for those here to learn from.
What’s the downside?
