Trump Gassed and Flashbanged an Entire Park to Go to a Church and Hold a Bible for 30 seconds.
- Thread starter Deadly Cyclone
- Start date
It's so absurdly obvious that he has no idea what to even do with that Bible. It seems like not only has he never opened a bible, but he's never opened any book in his life.
It is absolutely beyond me that anyone could think that this man is smart or pious in any way.
If him running around leads to police violence and innocent people getting hurt, he should stay in the bunker. Disgusting behaviour from trump.
Barr statement on the DC protests, with no mention of the Church.
You can stand up for what's right, or you can stand up for the man who called your wife ugly and connected your dad to the JFK assassination.
This doesn't even make any sense, but then again it's Ted Cruz.
Saw her other GOP response tweets.
"Didn't really see it."
What the fuck are these politicians doing then?
You can be arsed to pay attention to what's going on in the country, then why be a politician?
I know they're just avoiding the questions, but it's still frustrating to read that and that more people aren't giving them crap for it.
He's holding it upside down, which is understandable because it looks like his hand is about to catch fire.
It's really come to the point where I wouldn't mind it these people were driven at of their homes and forced to flee the country.
Still furious about this. This can't just be another fleeting Trump scandal. He gassed children and seniors and clergy. And now they are all trying to lie about it.
Fucking has-been loser.Bit of a "never meet (or read social media posts) from your heroes" moment for Nirvana fans today...
"God" seems to be just fine with the oppression of black people in this country tho, so he can fuck all the way off with that corny shit.
I didn't know where else to post this, or make a new thread. So...

The people who arent with oppressed groups will just see black people anyway not pastors.
You will never see those megachurches standing with the oppressed. More religious people need to combat the weaponization of their faith. The pope outright needs to call out Catholics and condemn Trump but the abortion bullshit is too important for them to give a damn
Memes aren't the appropriate response to a brutal assault on peaceful protesters. You're the speaker of the house. Start acting like it.
I'm a Christian, transgender, queer, pro choice, and a socialist. None of these are in conflict for me. My church has been impassioned in it's defense if the marginalized and I'm consistently proud of them. Problem is, the megachurches and prosperity gospel grifters are a lot more popular and well connected to the Republican party and political culture war.

Holy shit, how long has he been a Trumper?!
What? Haven't they literally been in session to pass laws in response to the protests and actively denounced the assault?
The President of the United States got so triggered by a Twitter hashtag that he gassed a church and assaulted news reporters in response to show he's actually very brave.
Very stable person that totally shouldn't be immediately removed from office.
So I guess the park police are saying that tear gas was not used and the protesters were throwing bottles. Which...I mean. That's their defense?
"The lying media is telling you that we disbanded a group of protesters and media using pepper spray, flashbangs, unmitigated violence and tear gas so the President could stand in front of a church that did not want him there. But I can assure you, we did not use tear gas."

This doesn't quite fit any of the threads perfectly, but last night the military used helicopters to disperse crowds in the DC.

And you read that right, disperse, not just watch.
Protesters In D.C. Met With Heavy Police Presence And Helicopters After Curfew
A helicopter flying near the Capital One Arena descended over protesters, coming low enough for its wind to rip branches from trees.

You're right. They have denounced it.
Pelosi, Schumer Joint Statement On Trump Press Conference & Photo-Op
Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer issued this statement after President Trump tear-gassed peaceful protestors following a press conference in which he ordered troops to “dominate the streets”
I still think the Democrats' response doesn't match the severity of Trump's actions in the last two days. A president teargassing his own citizens for absolutely no reason? He should be impeached all over again.
It was Barr who gave order to forcibly clear the park. Highest ranking attorney in the US ordered rights of protesters to be violated.
Is it worth starting another impeachment inquiry? Or would it be more beneficial to focus on the election in November?You're right. They have denounced it.

In general, I'd agree. Impeachment should be the option but seeing how the GOP handled the first one, I don't see a different outcome. Instead you give ammunition to the Trump campaign with another "Impeachment Hoax" his supporter will just leap up.
The focus should really be to get Trump out of the WH in November.
But keep protesting. If need be the whole summer.
I know it's a waste of breath to say, but so many people in this admin need retribution of the highest order. However, I feel like Bill Barr is the most evil being to ever hold office. We knew who he was and we let him in there anyway. He's basically whispering in Trump's ear ways to do all the terrible stuff he has been up to this year.
Using the Bible as a prop. But hey evangelicals, second / third / fourth chances right? Every hypocritical evangelical that supports this turd can eat an entire dick.

Asked on Fox News radio about religious leaders criticizing his church photo op, Trump claims, "Most religious leaders loved it. I heard Franklin Graham this morning, thought it was great."
Trump: I did hold up a Bible, and "I think that's a good thing, not a bad thing."
Trump claims he didn't know who was outside and didn't order anyone to move out protesters; he just planned to walk to a church, a church that "went through trauma."

Renato Mariotti @renato_mariottiTrump claims he went into an underground bunker during the protests to "inspect" it.
That is one of his most absurd lies yet. https://twitter.com/kaitlancollins/status/1268175985108824064 …

I can't even fathom being dumb enough to believe any of these blatant lies. Trump had no idea and he was just going to walk out into thousands of people screaming "Fuck Trump"? The fuck?
Dems should think about impeaching Barr over this if that is in any way possible. Get Republicans on the record that they're ok with this.
