(16,499 posts)That same "prayer" was on many republican bumper stickers when Obama was in office. Its use isn't new, nor is it limited to presidents; governors and local politicians have been named on the thing. Initial chuckles notwithstanding, I doubt that we have seen the last of it.

(13,632 posts)Psalms 109: 7-13 (NIV)
When he is tried, let him be found guilty,
and may his prayers condemn him.
May his days be few;
may another take his place of leadership.
May his children be fatherless
and his wife a widow.
May his children be wandering beggars;
may they be driven from their ruined homes.
May a creditor seize all he has;
may strangers plunder the fruits of his labor.
May no one extend kindness to him
or take pity on his fatherless children.
May his descendants be cut off,
their names blotted out from the next generation.
Then there is another verse reminding the Israelis about the time they were slaves in Egypt. It seems they may be ignoring that.
Leviticus 19:33-34 (NIV)
When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

Let the name of Trump be stricken from every book and media,
stricken from all buildings, hotels, golf courses and road signs,
stricken from every institution and monument of America and the world.
Let the name of Trump be unheard and unspoken, erased from the memory of men, women and children for all time.
So it shall be written. . .So it shall be done
