When did the Founding Fathers ever meet for "a national day of fasting and prayer"? More made-up shit.

Congressional Fast Day Proclamation

Congress proclaimed days of fasting and of thanksgiving annually throughout the Revolutionary War. This proclamation by Congress set May 17, 1776, as a "day of Humiliation, Fasting and Prayer" throughout the colonies. Congress urges its fellow citizens to "confess and bewail our manifold sins and transgressions, and by a sincere repentance and amendment of life, appease his [God's] righteous displeasure, and through the merits and mediation of Jesus Christ, obtain his pardon and forgiveness." Massachusetts ordered a "suitable Number" of these proclamations be printed so "that each of the religious Assemblies in this Colony, may be furnished with a Copy of the same" and added the motto "God Save This People" as a substitute for "God Save the King."

He looks like his soul has been slowly sucked out of his body since he became Secretary of State, and there'snothing left of him but a dried up husk..

He's an adult and he made his choice, which he had the right to do, so maybe I shouldn't feel sorry for him. Still, it's disturbing to look upon.

THAT is HARDLY a President you’re showing. Your photo makes you look like a kid watching a horror movie. UNLESS you were trying to make like some crooner doing a guest shot on “The Tonight Show”.
