The Trump Administration: A Clusterfuck in the Making

Poky Little Puppy.

Was he reading from it? Was he holding it upside down? Did it burst into flames?

That doesn’t narrow it down much.

No flames, but he apparently held it upside down and backwards.

He appears to be obliged to do everything in the dumbest way possible.

I’m kinda wondering if that may not be a coincidence. I mean, the fire started in the basement, and it seems kind of odd that someone would break into a church, go down to the basement, and start the fire there. I don’t think the standard vandals would go to that much trouble.

I thought the FBI only had jurisdiction if the kidnapping went across or was likely to have gone across state lines, but they always made themselves available to local law enforcement in kidnapping cases anyway. I’m not sure if that’s a difference with a distinction, though.

DAMN! Before I converted, I was Episcopalian and I, along with my three brothers, was an acolyte at that very church.

Do you remember The Holy Quran Experiment in which people heard some verses, then expressed their condemnation of the that “horrible book”. The kicker was the person making the video then took of the Qur’an bookcover and showed that he was reading from the Bible.

Damn, I wouldn’t be surprised in the least if that joke of a president actually had a Bible bookcover over Mein Kampf.

DAMN! That’s quite a good catch there, manson1972. Great job!

DAMN! I’m stunned he was able to find The Church of the Presidents. Ah, he probably needed someone to point it out on a map for him.

DAMN! Reading that last link, I see that not only has it been updated to include what the Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde had to say, but also a quote from St. John’s rector:

DAMN! That church’s RECTOR was chased off the church’s grounds so Mister Ego could get flattery.

I am beyond appalled.

DAMN!

I really wish English had a curse word that started with 'k" so I could anagram KKK in reference to that cantaloupe-colored clown.

Given the deeply strained relationship that ShitGibbon has will words (those annoying little things that books have too many of), I am not sure what book he might be holding even matters, as his neuron is not capable of coping with complex concepts.

there might be

I do believe that’s a valid point.

I’m very uncomfortable using a popular enough name to malign someone. I’m especially uncomfortable if that name is used for just one gender.

“In my photo-op in front of the church, I wanna hold up a Bible. Do we have a Bible?”

"No, Mr. President. We do have The Poky Little Puppy, Green Eggs and Ham, The Happy Hooker by Xaviera Hollander, and The Idiot’s Guide to the U.S. Constitution. Would any of those do?

“No, they’re not a Bible. And they’re not thick enough. Find something thick that we can wrap in black paper, dammit!”

“How about this, Mr. President? It’s a copy of The Stand by Stephen King. It’s the edited version, but it does come in hardback, and is thick enough, and we could wrap it in black paper. I think that Mr. Obama left it behind when he left the White House”

“Good enough. Do it. Make the wrapping tight, so I don’t have to touch any part that that Kenyan Muslim did.”

“Umm … Mr. President, doesn’t it strike you as ironic that even if it’s wrapped in black paper to make it look like a Bible, you’ll be holding up a book that is about the apocalypse as predicted in the Bible’s Book of Revelations, in front of a Christian church?”

“Makes it more like a Bible, then. Do it and I’ll use it!”

I made all this up, but it seems perfectly plausible. Sadly.

Muzzling?

They’re already arresting and shooting at reporters, I think the word “muzzling” wil be inadequate for what comes next.

Trump opposes hurting his supporters, who are the only people he views as actually American.

Anyone who is NOT 100% supporting him and kissing his ass are not American and/or traitors committing treason and fair game.

No. It was boarded up because of damage on prior days/nights

Somber and accurate obituary on the trump (so-called) administration.

We’ve Now Entered the Final Phase of the Trump Era
The president is stuck in a vicious downward spiral.

No one thing has been the last straw. But now… a towering Burning Man of straw who keeps pouring gasoline on himself and defiantly lighting matches.

Seems to me that a possible tactic of Trump is to declare any demonstrator or protester to be in active rebellion against the United States and use that as a pretext to invoke the Insurrection Act and send in Federal troops, treating any that oppose him as “enemy combatants”.

This will not end well.

And, of course, we’ll have an upsurge in covid in 1-2 weeks on top of all this.

Maybe it’s like displaying the US flag upside down?

Reporter: “Is that your bible?”

Trump: “It’s ‘a’ bible.”

I’ve heard that Trump hiding in a bunker from protesters while the White House lights were turned off was a perfect symbol and summary of the Trump administration, but I think teargassing a crowd of peaceful protesters to make way for a walk to the church to set up a phony, hollow photo-op while displaying a bible upside-down is the perfect symbol of his presidency.

He says he’s going to “activate the Attorney General, and activate him very strongly”. WTF does that mean? Add water to him? Did he order a box of Acme Attorney General Activation Pills?

How long before we see tanks in American cities? How long before they start shooting real bullets? We can only hope that we have less than eight months of this madman remaining.

We certainly had armored military vehicles in Minneapolis… sort of tanks. But probably not long for real tanks.

Any day now - they’re already shooting rubber ones and throwing flash-bangs at peaceful and unarmed protesters in order to take over a church.

My fear is that end of this will not be in democracy and freedom.

There are two problems with that scenario. First, that makes it look like the twerp actually knows anything at all about books, let alone the Bible. Second, it’s Revelation, not Revelations. :slight_smile:

Speaking of Bibles, what happened to the Lincoln Bible the twerp tarnished in 2017 by putting his dinky digits on?

That was a replica he was sworn in on. The original burst into flames during the practice session.
