With Colbert's mockery, I was able to see what a classic Karen Faulkner is.

I am not a physician, but you seem to have a serious irony deficiency.

Could you imagine being a server and having a customer who just quietly prays to themselves...they'd be your favorite, coming in and just quietly keeping to themselves

A few weeks ago I had lunch at a local burger shit hole with my Pentecostal neighbor. She announced to me that she decided to pray before her food arrived, so that she could eat it hot as soon as it got to the table. It was a loud, long, colorful, performance of a prayer, in thanks for her soon to arrive burger and fries, and the safe drive to the shit hole, and for everyone involved in creating her meal, but for the cow who died to make it. I’m sure her god heard her sincerity and was unbothered. Thankfully, she didn’t insist upon holding my hands and for me to participate.

And nobody got offended and kicked her out of the shit hole. Not even me. I’m still certain that SHE knows who WE are because WE don’t attend her/a church, and that every bit of kindness or assistance WE give HER is only because HER god wills it. There are so many of these people in this country who would hear Faulkner’s performance and feel inspired.

Can't blame a gal for grubbing those Benjamins while she can, I guess. Bless her heart and may her Lord have mercy on her soul.

In the US, ignorance is its own subculture.

"even when the server . . . tells the manager that your peaceful grace is triggering them!" The server is an employee, as is the manager. The server is subservient to the manager, I would think. So I would guess that a server who went to the manager and complained that "your peaceful grace is triggering them!" would be quickly told by that manager to get the fuck back to work and quit bothering everyone.

I know that if I hear someone praying loudly at a restaurant my first thought is "am I about to die at the hands of a terrorist?" and my second is "or has the health inspector not been through here for a while?" followed immediately by "is THIS maybe the health inspector praying it up over here?"

I have a rich inner life.

Yeh, even more fun than using nouns as verbs.

"She's a huge fuckin' Bible beater, it's gross but it's also transparently grifty."

Which means that Harris Faulkner (if that's her real name) is simply every black conservative who ever existed. She just manages to have the craziest Crazy Eyes that ever crazied.

(Botox. Her secret is botox.)

Also, I suspect that the reason that server was giving her the stink-eye while she performatively said Grace is because Faulkner was making her wait while trying to juggle twenty pounds of hot, heavy plates.

Still, she does seem like the favorite to eventually win Tucker's old seat. Her schtick of making earnest if obvious fake faces while staring directly into the camera and stentorously intoning the most ridiculously laughable laughable "dangers" to old Fox rubes is actually starting to feel a little nostalgic at this point.
