that scene right before his speech is something I never thought I would see in the United States of America. full on intimidation and militarization
and the speech was full on Fascism
When has he ever actually opened the Bible? I doubt he knows the difference between the Old and New Testaments or even where either begins. He's not a Christian.
I don't know man, if the tox screen really did show fentanyl in his system, that is likely the primary reason for the cardiac arrest obviously exacerbated by the stress of the interaction and restraint. With the one officer saying "This is why you don't do drugs," you can assume they knew the guy was intoxicated on something. That doesn't excuse them by any means; from a common sense angle, I would think it would put more of a burden on them to be on the lookout for medical events and respond quickly and appropriately.Being choked to death is likely the reason for the cardiac arrest....

Street fentanyl is a nasty and extremely dangerous drug that requires medical professionals and first responders in many places to don PPE if there's even a chance of residue on a person.
"Nearly half of all opioid-related deaths are caused by this drug, and the risk is so high that first responders have to change the way they do their jobs[ . EMTs, police, and forensic pathologists are at risk of potentially coming into contact with fentanyl when responding to overdoses. Fentanyl is so powerful that accidentally ingesting or breathing in only a tiny amount of residue can send a fully grown adult to the emergency room."

A priest of that church was sitting on the patio and secret service came and kicked him out of his own church.
Trump then stood in front of an empty building holding an unopened bible. Took a few pictures and then went back to the WH.
Wow such a powerful religious moment he truly is a man of God. Removing a priest from a church for a photo op without asking permission from the owner of that property or even letting them know his plan. On what grounds were the protesters removed let alone the priest?
Trump walked to the church, not to pray, but to take pictures. He held up a bible, not as a holy book, but as a prop. He never even opened the bible as he stood in front of a boarded up church. The bishop of the church called his stunt shameful. Nothing of value was gained from this weird event and Americans had their right to assemble trampled for it. Peaceful protesters hit with teargas and rubber bullets.
We have crisis after crisis after crisis because Trump has no idea how to lead. He is unable to calm a nation.
There is a reason that every former president and every former presidential nominee from a major party voted against Trump in 2016. They know the responsibilities of the job and knew he couldnt handle it.
Seems like they were right.
What happened to separation of church and state? She's making a public statement as a public official from a public building and quoting the Bible. Libruls should be outraged
How many people were gassed and assaulted by police for that photo?What happened to separation of church and state? She's making a public statement as a public official from a public building and quoting the Bible. Libruls should be outraged
Is that the line now? Sweet. No more complaining about the president quoting the Bible unless he's gassed and assaulted someone. Thats something I can get behind.How many people were gassed and assaulted by police for that photo?

Huh? Lots of presidents and politicians have quoted the bible, but not all of them have gassed protestors for nothing more than a photo op. I think you are missing the reason people are angry about this.

Then what is your point?I'm angry about it as well. I think maybe you are missing the point.
The book is open. Shes not holding it up like its about to be bid on on the price is right.
Trump bristled when he heard that Speaker of the House, Democrat, Nancy Pelosi, prays for him. He basically responded that she was full of shit.
Be sure to bookmark this baby!!! It's the closest thing to an apology you'll ever see out of 85.Ok, not a prop. She's a good Catholic, after all.
I'm just glad that quoting the Bible on its own isn't an offense anymore. She isn't guilty of violating the separation of church and state. Very happy about that.Then what is your point?
How many of them had their home surrounded so that they could not walk out by said protestors in the middle of multiple nights of violent riots breaking out of said protests? I’m guessing the number is small.Huh? Lots of presidents and politicians have quoted the bible, but not all of them have gassed protestors for nothing more than a photo op.

Every single news article described the use of tear-gas to remove the peaceful protesters.Also, it is very unlikely that it was tear gas that was used.
Seriously? A month ago you were calling for the federal government to enforce a stay-at-home order. This is what that looks like. These people weren't following the social distancing guidelines that you wanted enforced but now you're upset at what it looks like when they do?Every single news article described the use of tear-gas to remove the peaceful protesters.
If that wasn't the case, every news organization in the country -- including Fox News -- has got some serious retracting to do.
And the MAGA hatters will try desperately to change the subject.there is a ton of video/pics and journalists(not just American) + protesters saying tear gas was used at Lafayette Square. This administration will deny it despite the evidence

Journalists are idiots. Beyond that, the Park Police said they used smoke and not tear gas. Beyond that, if you watch the videos, it’s obvious that is wasn’t a CS deployment from the lack of clear and visceral reaction of the people in the deployment area. You may get one or two out of a hundred that have little or no reaction. It’s super obvious from the rest.Every single news article described the use of tear-gas to remove the peaceful protesters.
