Do you think Trump really had American citizens tear gassed so he could pose in front of a church with a Bible in 2020?

@TheHorse Price are high for many reasons. We have a lot of smart rich people here. Its going to suck if you just a high school educated former Marine like me. That being said, its so easy to make it work for everyone if you give everyone something they are good at. That's how freedom works, you let people shine in their own way. Not every needs to go to college, not everyone needs to be a movie star, not everyone needs to be a athlete. You keep every door open so people can have something for everyone and you can pretty much dominate the universe.

Well said. I live in California. Prices are high because of population density on the Coast. We have blacks, whites, Filipinos, Indians, and "other" living here. But we all still seem to get along.

I remember seeing media coverage of that incident. While tear gassing was used, I don't think it was souly just to clear a path for Trump to do the photo op. I like to think there's more to the story. But the long and short of it, is it did happen.

@kaylachan Anna knows best. I think she is still alive, but has not been posting here. I miss her, even if she thought I was a boorish American and a pain in the neck.

You mean "solely," right? Maluse lives on in me!

I don't think I'll go further down this worm hole. It all happened four years ago.

I don't know, but I wouldn't put it past him, and I don't want to sign up to the NYT to read the article.

@BarBaraPrz We have seen odd things happen in recent years. What would Abraham Lincoln say if he heard that a convicted felon and serial rapist would be running for president in 2024?

The second part of the question seems right. We really don't need any more looney stuff about him than we have He spouts enough nonsense.

@TheHorse .....I think that could be hard to find but it would be nice. How can anyone with half a clue really take him seriously without something intelligent to go by?

@celticeagle I did hear part of an interview yesterday in which he sounded fairly lucid. He did not say anything profound, but I was able to follow his sentence fragments.

It is so sad to watch. I wish we had more well-read ultra-Conservatives who would link us to intelligent things Trump has said recently.

Make a quick search, video and photographs clearly show that the Bible wasn’t upside down at Lafayette Square, BUT three posts on Twitter made the claim and amassed more than 83,000 retweets and more than 340,000 likes. Three months later, Mr. Biden repeated the false claim. People can be dumb and they love fake news.

@TheHorse The police used tear gas because people were protesting because of George Floyd affair, but the Bible was not upside down. I do not think that Trump is religious, but I also never go to Church.

Yeah. I didn't "go with" that part of the story because I couldn't tell. I do believe that he gassed people so he could walk through the crowd and do the photo op. And that he rarely attends that church.

@TheHorse He just wants to put on a show. He wouldn't know if it was upside down as he probably can't read

Are you sure? Who would disrespect a Bible in a photo shoot? And I am talking both morally AND from a PR standpoint.

I know the Arlington shenanigans were awful, so I’m not disqualifying anything. As for him being a Christian, last weekend Kamala was in church and he was talking about Arnold Palmer’s “personal body parts.” I won’t judge (unbiblical to do so), but an observation makes one’s eyebrows raise.
