A few days ago cowardly criminal Fuhrer Trump had a case of buk-buk-buk-buk-bone spurs and hid in the White House bunker for fear that they might hurt him. He had expected to cover it up, but someone leaked it to the press, and before he knew it, people all over the country were laughing at him. The last times he felt that humiliated is when the existence of the pee-pee tape, became public and when people learned that Stormy spanked him. He needed to put on a show to appear heroic.
After a weekend of protests that led all the way to his own front yard and forced him to briefly retreat to a bunker beneath the White House, President Trump arrived in the Oval Office on Monday agitated over the television images, annoyed that anyone would think he was hiding and eager for action.
He wanted to send the military into American cities, an idea that provoked a heated, voices-raised fight among his advisers. But by the end of the day, urged on by his daughter Ivanka Trump, he came up with a more personal way of demonstrating toughness — he would march across Lafayette Square to a church damaged by fire the night before.
The only problem: A plan developed earlier in the day to expand the security perimeter around the White House had not been carried out. When Attorney General William P. Barr strode out of the White House gates for a personal inspection early Monday evening, he discovered that protesters were still on the northern edge of the square. For the president to make it to St. John’s Church, they would have to be cleared out. Mr. Barr gave the order to disperse them.
What ensued was a burst of violence unlike any seen in the shadow of the White House in generations. As he prepared for his surprise march to the church, Mr. Trump first went before cameras in the Rose Garden to declare himself “your president of law and order” but also “an ally of all peaceful protesters,” even as peaceful protesters just a block away and clergy members on the church patio were routed by smoke and flash grenades and some form of chemical spray deployed by shield-bearing riot officers and mounted police… [emphasis added]

Reverend describes being pushed out from church for Trump photo-op
Maiming peaceful protestors demonstrating legally? Injuring clergy as they ministered to injured demonstrators? Desecrating’s the church by instigation violence there? There is only one word sufficiently vile to describe such anti-Christian behavior: Republican. And guess who made it happen for his Fuhrer?
Attorney General William Barr is facing demands to step down after the Washington Post reported Tuesday that the nation’s top law enforcement official personally ordered police to beat back peaceful protesters gathered near the White House Monday evening to clear the path for President Donald Trump’s walk to St. John’s Episcopal Church.
Two anonymous federal law enforcement officials told the Post that “the decision had been made late Sunday or early Monday to extend the perimeter around Lafayette Square by one block.” An unnamed Justice Department official said that Barr on Monday afternoon “went to survey the scene and found the perimeter had not been extended.”
“The attorney general conferred with law enforcement officials on the ground, which the official said is captured in a video of the incident,” the Post reported. “He conferred with them to check on the status and basically said: ‘This needs to be done. Get it done,’ the Justice Department official said.”… [emphasis added]

That’s right! It was Barrf! To make matters worse, Trump never opened his Bible (as if he ever has). He never prayed. It was all just a photo-op! How disgusting! How vile!
RESIST!!

omg..
This vile and reprehensible behavior from both dt (and barr) is sickening.
At a time when the protesters were united, and peaceful, THIS happens.
I cannot truly say what I want to on these pages…however, know this.
November can’t come quick enough for me.
“Crashing Vor” at Daily Kos (on YouTube he is Louie Ludwig) had a sardonic take, not on Trump* himself, but on the coverage this has been getting. It (appropriately) drips acid.
Barrf has been receiving calls for his resignation, increasing over time, since he was appointed. Now they have increased again.
After this photo op, he then showed the middle figure to the Catholic church by visiting the statue of St. Pope John Paul for another photo op.
Incidentally, people often think of “prophets” as people who foretell the future. Sometimes they do, but what the word means, and what the primary duty is, is speaking truth to power. What we have just heard from Rector Gini Garbasi is a whole boatload of prophetic speech.
I note she used the term “underestimated.” I have begin to suspect that, though they don’t admit it even to themselves, white supremacists know they are not superior. Otherwise, why would they get even more vicious toward a person of color who demonstrates beyond refutation that he or she is better than 99% of them? So I doubt that demonstrating the competence of people of color is necessarily the way to go in combating racism.
Anybody who can call himself or herself a Christian and still support tRump after this has no business coming within 10 meters of a church.
They both need to be out of office, and given the Mussolini treatment!
Despicable what these bas*ards did to innocent protesters just so they could walk across the street.
None of these idiots deserve to get on religious property/grounds. They aren’t faith believers. They don’t worship nothing but themselves.
Watching the second day/time tRump went to do the other church for that photo-op, I’m glad that all of the people there were giving him the middle finger.
I’ve already have signed petitions for bArf to resign. Hopefully he will.
Can’t help but believe that *Rump’s DISASTROUS trek to St. John’s, and the John Paul II Shrine are fodder for Friday Fun.
You can be assured that the rest of the Western World are equally disgusted with the way Trump and his administration are handling the protests. Everywhere I looked Trump was condemned for it in no uncertain terms. Mind you, the looting wasn’t viewed as acceptable either, but the peaceful protests were given their full and correct context.
I wish I could send a better link to yesterday’s ABC program Planet America which would be excellent mandatory viewing for Republicans, but I’m afraid the iview section only works for Aussies. Perhaps a VPN linking to Oz could do the trick, the same way I link to the US with VPN to see Saturday Night Live.
It seems to me that some of the gun rights advocates say they need their guns in the case of a tyrannical government. Trump is the poster boy for tyrannical government, turning on the US’s own citizens peacefully protesting. And Barrf. . . he is Trump’s pit bull, willing to do whatever his master says including releasing the rest of the Reich dogs of war on peacefully protesting citizens.
General James Mattis in The Atlantic:
This is all the work of an authoritarian idiot who has delusions of grandeur. Trump should be ousted and Barrf should be fired then both should be charged criminally. Too bad that stupidity is not a criminal offence!
Great minds fall in the same ditch, I see.
Thanks an late, tired hugs to all!
