Trump holds a Bible like it burns his hands to touch it.

For those inclined to that belief system, seems to me Trump would be a pretty good fit for the Antichrist.

I realized back in 2003 that trying to have a detailed discussion with you isn't worth it. So I'm happy to discuss things with you, but I'll pass on explaining the details.

:D  Not a very graceful concession, but I'll take it.

You appear confused.

No.  I challenged you to find a quote to support your claim about my position, and you responded that you can't be bothered with details... details like actually demonstrating that your claim had any basis in fact.

By conceding that you had no evidence whatsoever that you know my position better than I do, you are conceding that your position is untenable and you aren't going to try to defend the indefensible.  That's good enough for me.  It's really not very confusing if you are at all interested in reading for comprehension and making logical conclusions.  Trolls might get confused, though.

He dodders a bit. Best to avoid, Brain, but I think you already know that.

Says the guy babbling about "creepy asterisks!"    :lol:

:hmm: Clearly someone is gonna have to be the bigger man here. Hey katmai, can you come over here a second?

What was the point of the photo op?  Why did he feel the need to clear people away with tear gas just to get that shot?

From the point of a view of a true believer Trumpist.  What is to be gained?

I feel like the photo op was the tear gassing and shooting; him moving people on. Wanted to show the Governors etc what strength and dominance look like.

My boss said it tells his white supporters that he has their back.

Good point, he needed to establish some tough guy cred after hiding in the basement on Friday I guess.

He wanted to show his base that he is a God-Fearing Defender of the One True Faith and that the Evil Antifa Bastards are desecrating our holy places.  And to prove that he won't instantly be turned into a pillar of salt when he touches the Bible.

Supposedly, this was in direct contrast to the reports coming out that he hid in the basement. He was intentionally trying to show that he's not afraid of the protesters.
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...
