"It was very fast. I think it was very symbolic. I did hold up a Bible. I think that's a good thing, not a bad thing. And, many religious leaders loved it," Trump affirmed. "Why wouldn't they love it? I'm standing in front of a church.." https://www.foxnews.com/media/trump-bunker-inspection-church-tear-gas 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Frankfurter is not looking at the photo that was published that I saw. Upside down? Not exactly: That said, this is not something that I would promote. Book of Matthew, 6:5; 6:6,for inspiration and example. 4 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

notsonice + 1,266 DM June 3, 2020 Peaceful Protesters Were Gassed Outside The White House So Trump Could Get A Photo Op At A Church "I am the president of law and order, and an ally of all peaceful protesters," the president said as police gassed and confronted peaceful protesters just yards away. Does law and order mean gassing peaceful protestors to get a photo op in front of a church he does not attend? A new moral low from our Leader.

Roughneck88 + 53 DM June 3, 2020 (edited) What the hell does that have to do with it. You said he was lucky God didn't strike him down while holding bible trying to insinuate that God must disapprove of him greatly. So I simply stated others who were much more likely to feel wrath of god for using his name. See thats how forums tend to work, if you don't want people replying to one of your shitty comments then don't make them. You have over a hundred post so you would think by now you would have grasped the concept of how boards like this work. Come on man catch up and try not to be so slow.

Yoshiro Kamamura + 274 YK June 4, 2020 When the European Christian scholars in the renaissance Europe wondered, why there is such a high suicide rate among the black slaves in the colonies of the New World, they sent a special papal committee to investigate the matter. The committee found out that the cause is insufficient education of the slave population about the core Christian values, so the remedy was ship loaded to the brim with bibles, that should fix the problem. Says a lot about institutionalized Christianity. 1 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BradleyPNW + 282 ES June 4, 2020 It's important to remember Trump tear-gassed law abiding American citizens so he could walk across Lafayette Park and take the photographs of him holding a bible he does not read in front of a church he does not attend. Why did he do that? Because he was embarrassed news leaked of him cowering inside the White House bunker. So embarrassed he told lickspittle Brian Kilmeade during an interview today that he was inspecting the bunker, not hiding in the bunker. https://www.foxnews.com/media/trump-bunker-inspection-church-tear-gas Trump's behavior was so anti-American that Jim Mattis, ex-SOS and Marine General, grilled him in an open letter to America. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/06/james-mattis-denounces-trump-protests-militarization/612640/ 1 2 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does law and order mean gassing peaceful protestors to get a photo op in front of a church he does not attend? A new moral low from our Leader. I never thought he could stoop so low, I am wrong. Never let the facts get in the way of a good lie! Park Police say they cleared White House protest after attack by activists The US Park Police on Tuesday said they cleared protesters from in front of the White House on Monday because they were attacked while attempting to install a new fence, indirectly denying they did so because President Trump wanted to visit a fire-damaged historic church. Park Police acting Chief Gregory Monahan pushed back on a prevailing narrative that authorities cleared way for Trump in an afternoon statement nearly 24 hours after the fracas aired live by TV crews, some of whom were struck by authorities. Monahan specifically denied a widespread claim that Park Police or another agency, such as Secret Service or the National Guard, deployed tear gas against demonstrators protesting the killing of George Floyd by Minnesota police, as was widely reported and alleged, including by Trump’s presumed Democratic opponent Joe Biden. The Park Police chief, whose beleaguered force was pelted with bricks and water bottles throughout Saturday and Sunday night, said that on Monday, officers advanced around 6:33 pm and “violent protestors on H Street NW began throwing projectiles including bricks, frozen water bottles and caustic liquids.” “The protestors also climbed onto a historic building at the north end of Lafayette Park that was destroyed by arson days prior,” Monahan said. “Intelligence had revealed calls for violence against the police, and officers found caches of glass bottles, baseball bats and metal poles hidden along the street. To curtail the violence that was underway, the USPP, following established policy, issued three warnings over a loudspeaker to alert demonstrators on H Street to evacuate the area. Horse mounted patrol, Civil Disturbance Units and additional personnel were used to clear the area.” Monahan continued, “As many of the protestors became more combative, continued to throw projectiles, and attempted to grab officers’ weapons, officers then employed the use of smoke canisters and pepper balls. No tear gas was used by USPP officers or other assisting law enforcement partners to close the area at Lafayette Park. Subsequently, the fence was installed.” Edited June 4, 2020 by Dan Warnick 2 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SERWIN + 749 SE June 4, 2020 14 hours ago, notsonice said: Trump is lucky God did not strike him down with a bolt of lightning while holding the Bible So when pelosi and cuomo hold one there should probably be an explosion by that logic. pelosi ovbiously has absolutely no interest in religion other than for her personal ratings, just a stunt with no meaning.... Cuomo picking up a bible and reading it was just another stunt as well. But, here we go again with the TDS, Trump does exactly what they did but somehow it becomes bad ONLY when he does it. Well, he didn't open it and read something out of it, seems like pelosi should have imploded during this act but, God's justice doesn't always seem fair, does it? The murderer of thousands in NY and the hypocritical Catholic staunch supporter of killing babies are OK when they do this. Why has she not been excommunicated yet? Seems like the Pope would get a lot of brownie points for that with God. No hypocrisy there, right? ORANGE MAN BAD!!! #BESTPREZEVER!!! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
