Donald Dump to speak at 6:15

He's Tub President!

Apparently he will now speak at 6:30, not 6:15.

I imagine in the White House, someone is screaming, "We need more Adderall! Stat!"

I'm not in a joking mood about this.

r4 - it looks bad

Oh No!😖 He is just going to pissoff people and make things worse!

Why are they clearing Lafayette Park?

Because people were starting fires there last night?

Not only clearing it, firing tear gas at people who weren't doing anything other than yelling.

There is unrest in front of the White House. This is pretty incredible.

He is gonna invoke

Brace yourselves folks, he's going to turn this all to his advantage in an underhanded way, as usual

Gold to $2000.

He's working his way towards Martial Law.

But he'll probably tweet "Marsha Law."

Headed toward martial law.

Maybe I should pack a bag.

He’s just guaranteed the worst night yet.

What an asshole.

[quote]Maybe I should pack a bag.

Did Marsha invite you?

Would it occur to him to acknowledge the root of the problem?

Did he just announce that he's going in to take a shit?

Something about visiting a very special place.

What did he do? I can't watch hin. That voice.. .

What’s Martial Law mean?

r20, that's exactly the first thing that came to my mind too! Or MacDonald's maybe is his special place.

"I'm going to go pay my respects to a very special place."

The toilet?

It means we live in a dictatorship now.

He said he's going to pay his respects to a great memorial or something.

Let me Google that for you!

^^ For R22.

Don Lemon is saying that right now. He said dictatorship, but hasn't mentioned Marsha Law yet.

Is he going to read from a prepared script, look really awkward & uncomfortable, and mangle words in the process?

Something about visiting a very special place.

That's what I was thinking too: "I'm going to visit a very special place...I am going to take the biggest, most beautiful shit ever because Barr just gave me a laxative 20 minutes ago"

This sounds like more of the same: I told the governors what to do & if they don't do it, I'm going to....what? Sort of like the "I told the governors to open their states by Easter for the birth of ...no wait...death of Jesus..." but they mostly told him to go pound sound.

From Twitter: You know, I always wanted to know what it would be like to simultaneously experience the Spanish flu, Great Depression, and 1968 mass protests while Andrew Johnson was president.

The very special place will be some melodramatic religious photo op no doubt ...

pound "sand" that is...

They think he’s going to St. John’s Episcopal Church. Photo op.

They better put him in the popemobile.

CNN is saying he's going to the church across the street for a photo op. He's very spiritual, you know.

His Popemobile.

Obama speaking brilliantly, as usual, totally unhinged him!!

[quote]He's very spiritual, you know. —Christlike, even.

You're making me hard.

Is he going to the church that was burned down?

Bet he’s wearing a bulletproof vest.

Look at that swagger on him!

It wasn't burned down - small fire in the basement yesterday.

He looks so tough.. .surrounded by the military so no one can hurt his widdke feewings.

He might as well still be in the bunker

What a pussy.

This is so fucking absurd and bizarre.

Maybe he'll spontaneously combust when he enters the church.

He's standing in front of the church holding a bible having his picture taken.

Small fire?

[quote]He looks so tough

Look at that asshole! It's kabuki theatre!

If only God would strike him dead in this instant. That he doesn't act to me is proof there is no God.

Brief aside here: did anyone watch the series about Vietnam on PBS? If so, you'll recall that is was the peaceful protests that won the hearts & minds of middle America while the anarchy, violent protests & hippie nonsense totally turned them off & emboldened people like Pat Buchanan who knew the impact that they had. These protests that are resulting in damages to businesses and people need to be mobilized into peaceful protests that can bring about real change and dialogue. How's it going to look when our military is converging on a peaceful march?

He’s still posing with the Bible. Barr is standing near him. Law and Order!

“That very special place” is Ivanka’s pussy. He’ll be heading there after his photo op at St. John’s.

Did anyone catch his dog whistle about protecting 2nd Amendment rights? He's calling for his supporters to fire on protesters.

And he just had the national guard clear out the area of peaceful protesters, because his frail little ego can't handle being booed during his photo op in front of St. John's.

He needs to be taken the fuck out...now.

That was the dumbest photo op in all of Christendom.

Martial Law time!

The Vietnam series was pure saccharine, formulaic middlebrow crap. I would rather be trapped on a desert island with Lucy Worsley than have to endure Ken Burns documentaries.

Did anyone catch his dog whistle about protecting 2nd Amendment rights?

Yes, I noted that too; here's a way to de-escalate - invite gun owners & those militia asshats into armed confrontations with protesters.

In front of boarded up church with that titan of morality on his left hand side, Kaleigh Mcenany!

R52, we just saw that happen. A peaceful crowd was tear gassed by the National Guard.

R57: Yep. Where is the poster who said we were being drama queens for even saying that would ever happen?

Did anybody notice the quick shot of Ivanka, off to the side, [italic][bold]in a black mask?[/italic][/bold]

He's escalating the circumstances

Toobin already said on CNN that the law says he cannot send federal troops into any state without the express request of the state's governor.

But I fear a Constitutional showdown is coming and who knows how it turns out.

If there was a God, that churh would have crumbled on top of all of them.

The only thing left for him to escalate is to have the military start shooting live ammo. That's the only way it can get worse.

Every single Republican in the Senate who knew he was guilty and voted to acquit him has this tied to them.

I never want to hear THE GREATEST NATION EARTH ever again. Look at it. Just look at it.

Yes, the chic Ivanka 'en masque' swinging a huge white purse that none of you could afford, thank you very much!

[quote] In front of boarded up church with that titan of morality on his left hand side, Kaleigh Mcenany!

Please refer to her with the proper epithet: pigeon-headed whore Kayleigh Mcenany.

I hope they burn the country to the ground tonight

*church.

R72, if you are correcting yourself at r71, I much prefer your initial sentiment.

R71: Starting with the White House and all Trump properties.

Dump spoke with Putin today; I guaran-fucking-tee all that "you must dominate!" shit is what Vlad yelled at his bitch-ass over the phone.

[quote]But I fear a Constitutional showdown is coming and who knows how it turns out.

We know.

What a ridiculous fat fuck strolling with a bible. WTF?

That’s his Anti-Christ look.

He held that bible like he was at a book signing appearance.

Don't give him any ideas r79.

"Please refer to her with the proper epithet: pigeon-headed whore Kayleigh Mcenany.""

Actually, her official DL name is "pigeon-headed whore Kayleigh MAGA-Ninny."

[quote]He held that bible like he was at a book signing appearance.

He was holding it upside down.

I wonder if he's actually held one before.

Charmingly, this is the anniversary of the day his father was arrested at a Klan rally.

I wonder if he got the orders from Putin. The readout the Kremlin released on the phone call said that Trump had initiated it.

[quote] He held that bible like he was at a book signing appearance.

If there was a God it would’ve burst into flames.

Apparently he did not tempt fate and go into the church.

It was just a quick photo op outside.

What a Christian he is!

Unlike those Godless Demoncrats.

He was asked if it was his Bible.

His answer was "It's A Bible."

I don’t know r65. I thought that only applied to guard. They are taking about active duty military, which is much better armed. Im not going to look up the spelling. But they would have to suspend posse comitatus.

They call up the guard all the time without doing that.

Oh, it was Tom Cotons idea.

TheVoiceoftheNight so good to see you posting here today! You’ve been greatly missed. 😀

At the White House: He's eating a double quarter pounder right now and shouting about what a good boy he was today. He might even get three scoops of ice cream before going to hide in his bunker tonight.

Episocopal Bishop blasting Trump now on CNN. He went to the church without contacting anyone from the church. Trump couldn't even put together a short prayer for the nation. What a D list celeb he is.

If Shitler hated the bunker baby insults, he better lay off twitter tonight.

I'm currently in a dispute with Twitter over a tweet that I refuse to take down, so I can't see anything. What are they saying?

R93 she ripped him. “I am outraged... the abuse of sacred symbols”

Yeah, I thought this was a sign he was giving out. I thought it was too stiff for it not to mean something. I was raised around this kind of Christian shit and Trump just let the End out of the bag.

“How's it going to look when our military is converging on a peaceful march?“

...Or bolts of lightning from heaven.

Stock market futures are down on news that Trump seems ready to re-fight the Civil War.

That’s the bible Stormy Daniels gave him for his birthday.

Couldn't even offer a reading from Two Corinthians.

Has Marshall Law entered yet?

Soon R105, Soon

No, but r14 Marsha Law is in reception.

Marshall Law is the name of Marco Rubio's new boyfriend

Marshall & Law was looted, girl!

We're entering a period of TJ Maxx Law instead.

R110 More like Burlington Coat Factory law.

Ross Dress for Less Law

Lawmart. Semi-automatics next to baby furniture, just down from the Bibles.

Trump is the one who should be arrested. 107,000 murdered and going up.

Protesters! Hello I am First Melania. I am here to bring you beautiful photo. You like? Is my poosey. The America's poosey! Please do not be angry black. Angry black is scary! Be best and do not make Donald cry. Ok! Good-Bye!

Where’s the second Melania?

I getted my gun to help Army. Guys I am comming!

I think Shitler has his eye on that Chanel cunt from OANN and she's willing to give up her virgin hole to that demonic fuckstick.

[quote] think Shitler has his eye on that Chanel cunt from OANN and she's willing to give up her virgin hole

Virgin! Ha!

This...

Fox News says George Soros is funding antifa and should be deported!

I wonder if he'll walk back the martial law bit tomorrow, like he does everything.

He can't walk back that parade of fucks he led to St. Johns after ordering the use of the military to sweep the area of peaceful protests simply so he could hold up "a" Bible. Literally, an abomination.

I’m obsessed with him preening around in front of the church like he’s fuckin Linda Evangelista. “Take a shot of me with the Bible where I look serious! Now take one where I look zany! Now one where I caress the Bible suggestively!, “Now one of me holding the Bible while Ivanka pegs my ass!”

“Lol ok now back to the bunker for a diapy change.”

R117 That’s the hottest photo I’ve seen in a long time. You’re looking fierce! What’s your secret? x

[quote]Don Lemon is saying that right now. He said dictatorship, but hasn't mentioned Marsha Law yet.

Maybe Trump means Marsha P. Johnson? I mean she started Stoneall and it is Trans Pride Month!

[quote]But I fear a Constitutional showdown is coming and who knows how it turns out.

5-4

One of the people in Lafayette Square who was tear gassed was a priest who was visiting the church. The obscenity never stops with him.

Melania's tits are fake as hell. What a bad boob job.

[quote]“Take a shot of me with the Bible where I look serious! Now take one where I look zany! Now one where I caress the Bible suggestively!, “Now one of me holding the Bible while Ivanka pegs my ass!”

Donald J. Trump IS Dawn Davenport!

[quote] preening around in front of the church like he’s fuckin Linda Evangelista

She's La Trump Evangelicalista.

He has always had a secret wish to be Gloria Swanson in the ruble of the Roxy.

[quote]Melania's tits are fake as hell. What a bad boob job.

R129 They may be fake but, if so, beautiful job. Symmetrical, perky nipples, full without being obnoxious. Worth every dollar spent.

The word got out that he was cowering in the basement during the protestnado. Bad optics. So he did this to appear fearless (thanks to dozens of Security sanitizing the area, no doubt).

I love the nervous look on Barr's face; he lives somewhere around the Tysons Corner area. It'd be a shame if protesters showed up at his home.

Anyone seen this on tv?

He doesn't exactly appear fearless when he had to have cops tear gas peaceful protesters just to walk across the street. Even Nixon went out into the crowds of protesters and talked to them.

Bad look when you're even more cowardly than Richard Nixon.

General Milley is WAYYY too fat to be wearing camo; he should preserve whatever little dignity he has left & wear dress blues at all times.

R122, depends on what the markets do.

This basically says everything.

Apparently, 'twas Barr who personally ordered the gassing.

R141, he doesn’t control the National Guard—that’s on the Secretary of Defense and Trump.

All Trump's stunt show and curfews did was make the protests even bigger today.

[quote][R141], he doesn’t control the National Guard—that’s on the Secretary of Defense and Trump.

But he was the one on-scene in Lafayette Park when it happened.

Is he back hiding in the bunker?

Apparently, 'twas Barr who personally ordered the gassing.

I think as Dump's self-appointed protector, lap dog & head stooge, Barr is just giving Dump air cover. Maybe he did it, maybe he didn't, but its just a way to get the heat off Dear Leader. Plus, Barr looked like he needed his own diaper out there, so maybe he did order it if nothing else to protect his own fat ass

R144, the whole thing was set up before he arrived. Barr is not in the military chain of command. The Military Police are not going to take direction from some random. This is Trump’s doing.

The WaPo now has an article about this—Barr “personally asked” for the protestors to be pushed back. Nothing on gassing though. Maybe that was just implied, idk.

Barr covering for Trump.

ABC:

Trump tweets 'no problems' after peaceful protesters tear-gassed for photo op

r98 I think I'll caption your pic with a quote attributed to writer Sinclair Lewis( not substantiated according to Snopes)

"When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in The Flag, and carrying a Cross."

Pardon me: The Cross.

Elizabeth Warren was out protesting in front of the White House today.

There were reports that the units that are in DC now have been equipped with bayonets. That's terrifying.

brava, OP, brava!

Are ou serious, R153? Bayonets? That is the most fucked up thing I have ever heard.

They last used them in March of the Wooden Soldiers

There were a bunch of armed men standing around DC yesterday. No name tags, no service insignia, who would only respond "Department of Justice" when asked who they worked for.

I think Trump is openly hiring mercenaries.

[quote] Are ou serious, [R153]? Bayonets? That is the most fucked up thing I have ever heard.

No coming back if one of those is ever used, Jesus. America will be officially over.

Barack Obama will be speaking at 5PM.

Countdown to announcement of Rose Garden press conference at 5PM starts now.

Oh, I agree R157 - only it's Barr who hired them under DOJ; I'd bet a paycheck they answer directly to him with a mandate to bust heads at will & don't coordinate with any local authorities.

Trump is hiring criminal conspirator Erik Prince's private for-profit army of thugs, and America is footing the bill.

Here's the fascism you ordered, America!

I'll check in on you if you need more napkins or iced tea!

[quote]I think Trump is openly hiring mercenaries.

Well, it's one way to get those unemployment numbers down!

Pelosi's at the DC protest this afternoon.

So David Frum said on his tweeter feed that the armed men of unknown origin were from the Bureau of Prisons (hence the unprofessional look and general appearance of being a cross between a mercenary & right wing extremist), though he speculates that they are *contractors* employed by BoP. Whatever the case, apparently prison guards (not just your everyday guard, but the strike force, riot-types) are the bottom of the LE hierarchy (though worse than National Guard? not sure..) and a bad mix with a civilian population as they are used to dealing with PRISONERS

Those are exactly Prince's goon squad.

Someone give them the covid and some scabies to match. Nothing but Merc scum.

Yet another shoe has dropped; General Mattis very strongly & very deliberately just shanked Dump

He's a mad dawg.

Cue Dump tweeting that Mattis is a bigly loser.

No doubt, but Mattis is no Rex Tillerson that was pretty much hated by everyone anyway; he's still widely respected and shitting all over him will not be appreciated by military types

In further stunt-backfiring news - evangelicals are not happy that Trump posed in front of a liberal, gay-marriage supporting church, with a liberal, non-King James translation of the Bible

Ha, that's hilarious R170 - and such a typical fundy reaction: how dare you appear in front of a homo loving church! You should've kicked the shit out out of even more people & waddled over to the Baptist church!!
