Okay. When I was attending a Christian school, I had pretty much given up on pretending to be a Christian after about a year or two but thought most people would eventually figure out that I wasn't really a Christian before I eventually admitted it when cornered. Their initial shock suggested that almost no one could figure it out, but if evangelicals are still sticking up for Trump and having a problem with people questioning his faith, then I guess that it's easy to fool most evangelicals if you hold a Bible in your hand and go to church once every five months or so while occasionally trying to give them what they want.
Seriously, even some church leaders are calling Trump out on his photo op; but as long as he keeps pandering to his base, he will still get their votes.

the "some feel" is vapid bull shit.
so now Trump admits he went into the White House bunker... but only to inspect it.
They shut the lights off!
I lurk on a board just to read what this guy says, he's always on point with analysis.Reflecting this morning on how protests might be the defining political story of our time. If we survive the boomers, this nation is eventually going to be governed by those generations who have marched after mass shootings, marched with pussy hats on, and absolutely refused to stop marching for George Floyd.
So many of tomorrow’s politicians will have stories about how they first met each other at a protest. So many future voters will have had their first real moment of political anger during a moment when the nation itself was in the streets. Today’s middle aged Democrats were raised by circumstance to be tepid. They grew up under the 1980’s Americana fetishism and started their adulthoods surrounded by post-9/11 reactive patriotism. They are insecure, slow to take a stand (if they can manage the will at all), and can be convinced they’re losing even as they cross the goddamn finish line.
Tomorrow’s Democratic Party will be something altogether different.
they’re taking their bayonets and going home.

who do you think made that call? no way it was trump. i personally think he wanted a bloody photo op.
The Orange Idiot wanted this photo op because the news that he had to hide in the bunker with his family leaked and the idea that he was a coward was intolerable to him. So in order to prove his "courage under fire", he had to get outside the White House and the fire at that church was just a pretext.
That peaceful protesters were shot at and gassed was collateral damage.
This changed again BTW.

better late than never. Go Mattis.
That Hawkeye gif is me.
Who is this guy? Is he just some guy taking guesses? It seems plausible, but where's the evidence to support what he's saying?
that part wasn't there earlier, and now I've lost what little hope I had. Glad I kept it manageable.
Trump is having a "victory lap" over the "good" economy now.
Oh look, now the tweets are gone. quelle suprise.
edit: ah not gone, protected. still, the damage was done.

watching the first episode of Watchmen and a line: "I have a nose for white supremacy, and he smells like bleach"
that's what I call TRUTH
Best president ever!!!!!!
I'd love to believe this because it sounds hilarious and perfectly in line with what a weirdly narcissistic piece of shit he is, but surely there's a really real white house doctor that actually makes sure the president is a specific height? Like, asks him to remove his shoes please? Right?
...the world still makes THAT much sense right?
I would say that his narcissism is more important than a distraction, and hopefully we'll never find out how fucked up that gets when this guy no longer cares if he ever gets clear approval ever again...
Let's not give him a mandate, it's really important, and come on guys, I don't care who you like, don't give Trump a fucking mandate. Thanks.
