Will this wake up the religious right?

I feel safe in saying "No." They don't give a shit about his own personal morality as long as they can rely on him being a defender of their white Christian way of life.

There's absolutely no way anybody in the religious right can look at the appalling spectacle of a slouching conman like Trump waving a bible and cheering for injustice and bloodshed, and not see themselves. That's why they're so devoted to Trump. That's why he's their president. He's one of them.

There's no problem because there are more than one Jesuses (Jesii?)... the Earth 1 Jesus, the Robin Hood type dude with the baby blankets clothes who said "blessed are the peacemakers" and instructed to "turn the other cheek", is different from the Earth 2 Jesus who said "I came not to send peace, but a sword" and instructed "sell your cloak and buy a sword". One said "render unto Caesar" the money, while the other would sell you that sword he told you to get. Plus there was a yellow circle around the big J on his chest on one but not on the other, that's how I used to tell them apart.

There is LITERALLY a Trump Tweet for every occasion.  

Every.  Single. One.

That cannot be true. Please tell me that is not true.
Murdered man, demonstrations, riots (I am separating the two), chaos
everywhere, & he tweets that he turned the lights off as a symbol of the
Obama presidency?

Please tell me this is not true

 No.  Trump posted a tweet back in 2014 about a moment when the lights were out at the WH during the Obama administration.  

And in typical Trump fashion....the WH lights were out recently during his own administration...signifying that nearly EVERYTHING Trump falsely claims Obama did that was horrible and shameful...he himself will eventually do legitimately. 

He is a fucking plague.

So I wake up to more of the same. Trump clearing peaceful protests with tear gas outside the WH.

Unarmed black man David McAtee shot dead by police. Suggestions are that police either fired first or were returning shots but shots that were not fired by group unarmed black man was in. Turns out he used to feed cops for free at his business.

You guys need another revolution but I'd suggest waiting until the election as they are just enjoying killing people right now.

Thanks David - I’ve just looked again @ the tweet & noticed the date.

Has anyone seen the footage of Police putting knee on the neck of a
protester & being shouted @ to get their knee off?
A version of that act is what lit this, & they are doing it on camera during
the protests/riots.

This is beyond ridiculous

As was Trump’s visit to a church to wave a bible after clearing the area
with with tear gas. Arsehole.

At least Hitler had the common decency to shoot himself when he was in his bunker.

Trump wants to look tough against vandals, rioters, and protesters eh? And he threatens to put MORE American lives on the line by activating the military against the civilian population of the United States?* 

And THEN he finds someone to blame for turning off the lights on the White House??? Did he think we wouldn't see it? Maybe he feels we're all a bunch of Bugblatter Beasts?

If he's scared, why is he still in the White House? Isn't Camp David supposed to be an extra-safe refuge? Now mind you, I think the White House is pretty secure against a bunch of brick throwing protesters... and I suspect Trump knows that too.

Now is the time for a real president. One who turns the lights ON to try to combat fear and rage. One who doesn't threaten Americans with the Army, but tries to calm things down with words of reason and rationality. Obviously, Joe Biden is acting more presidential right now than President Murder could ever manage.

And it won't matter a bit to his sycophants. All I can think is that all we need a 10% swing of voters in November. Just 10%, please.

*He does have the ability to do this. It happened during the Rodney King event too. I believe it's the Insurrection Act.
