Oklahoma’s oil and gas sector, one of the biggest in the country, is in bad shape. So bad that the state’s governor has called for divine intervention.

Falling oil prices have sapped the state’s economy in the past year and have caused companies to eliminate tens of thousands of industry jobs. The state has made a number of attempts to revive the sector, including giving oil companies huge tax breaks, but the outlook remains bleak.

Gov. Mary Fallin’s solution? Pray.

Last month, Fallin (R) dubbed Oct. 13 “Oilfield Prayer Day.” In a one-page proclamation, she called on all Christians to “thank God for the blessings created by the oil and natural gas industry and to seek His wisdom and ask for protection.”

“Oklahoma is blessed with an abundance of oil and natural gas, allowing the state to be a prosperous producer of these valuable resources,” the proclamation states. “Oklahoma recognizes the incredible economic, community and faith-based impacts demonstrated across the state by oil and natural gas companies.”

Fallon is considered a candidate for heading the Interior Department and met with Trump two days ago. Other possible candidates for the position include Butch Otter, Sarah Palin, and puppy mill booster Forrest Lucas.

GAF, why are you so good at finding people at their absolute worst... and they have to always be a public figure? Ugh, this should go into that cringe thread.

1. Claim that God is punishing earth for being too liberal.
2. Be a deplorable human being.
3. Ruin the planet by ignoring all science saying you are literally killing your and your childrens future.
4. When the planet is ruined, claim that #1 came true and God punished us.
5. Deny any of the blame
6. Use steps 1-6 to oppress people.

This is Mary Fallin on a good day. She is one of the least popular governors in the nation. She gets booed at Thunder games and this is an overwhelmingly red state.

 

[Mr Waluigi]

How do these people end up in those positions, anyway?

Didn't Ben Carson do the same thing in a surgery and according to him, it worked? You're fucked, America.

Yes, but he had to stab a friend and try to beat his mother with a hammer first. That's where his powers come from.

How long until kids are forced to stand for the national anthem at gunpoint before saying a prayer to make the gay go away and then doing a blood oath with an American flag?

Less than 2 months?

She was the candidate with an (R) next to her name. That's all you need to be elected to public office in Oklahoma anymore.
