There is something strange about that picture of Trump standing in front of a church and holding up a bible like it's a trophy. It's an odd mix of comedy, and audacity. It's a ready-made "caption this" meme.

There’s nothing strange about it. It’s an American landmark, that got burned, so trump showed up to show strength. Literally every president in my lifetime has done something like that. But no, because it’s Trump, a church, and the left doesn’t understand history we have to go through this. This is literally the stupidest story in the news cycle right now.

64% of Americans sympathetic to protesters; 55% reject Trump stance

Almost two-thirds of American adults were “sympathetic to people who are out protesting right now,” while 27% said they were not and 9% were unsure, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted Monday and Tuesday. More than 55% of Americans said they disapproved of Trump’s efforts, including 40% who “strongly” disapproved, while just one-third said they approved. That's lower than his overall job approval of 39%, the poll showed.

Trump thinks he's coming off as strong. In reality, most people recognize that his threats of sending in real military troops would result in a huge backlash. The paper tigers mews as usual.

I imagine the people responding are talking about protesters only. People just standing there holding signs. Not looters and rioters.

Not how the media wants it framed seeing as they're trying to paint them all as one benevolent peaceful group justified in anything they do.

Uh... They lit a historic church on fire. We haven't seen much footage coming out of the protests in the square. If they were peaceful and dispersed for a photo op it was wrong to do so.

It was the day before, the fire was out and the president didn't take his picture in front of any damage.

The fire is an excuse being foisted to dampen the stupidity of using a church and the bible as a prop as a means to pander.

They weren't peaceful, it was being aired on the news before the remarks by Trump. It was impressive though, the cops had a moving shield wall and mounted patrol slowly scattering the soy boys.

Don’t misunderstand. Trump is his own worst enemy. But, the hypocrisy of the left to put up Biden is laughable. Those little roaches? They are literally keeping him out of the public eye and trying to load his lip when he does talk and he still says stupid **** like this.

Thats an interesting statistic. I bet 19 of those deaths received zero media coverage outside of local. But 9 of them were shoved down our throat to push a media narrative. The number SHOULD be zero however as they were all unarmed but that is a utopia we will never achieve. There is a problem but its not a prevalent race problem more of a power trip by police problem. They feel like they are right 100% of the time no exceptions. Would be interesting to see of those 28 deaths how many charges were brought against the officer(s) involved.

No one cares about the 19 white people. Most of these cops who kill anyone even black people are simply just rogue and they are protecting by the democrat led police unions. White cops are not hunting black men down, that's false, doesn't happen.

Because it's Trump, and we know a thing or two about his character, it comes across as being sanctimonious. It just looks phony... unless you really do believe that Trump reads The Holy Bible? In which case, you are quite gullible.

Fox News Edits Video to Remove Police With Guns Drawn, Cuffing Innocent Black People

Cops drew guns and arrested the wrong people when they responded to a looter call. I'm not surprised with the confusion with all the insanity going on. But Fox wasn't painting protesters as looters. It's literally an article about how the police were wrong. There are better things to beat up Fox over than this.

Good Samaritans detained on live TV while protecting LA business from alleged looters

But like CNN and MSNBC I'm sure the gun being left out was a purely an accidental editing error.

LOL, Spoiler alert I'm sure there are some black panther forums somewhere that you can comb through and find offensively shocking views about racism.

You tracked down an op-ed that offended your sensibilities and feigned outrage about the "media". I hope you feel better soon.

Don't know if Trump inciting racial hatred or violence, but, good.

Communicate, say what you got to say, stay civil, understand talking and trying to see eye to eye, and accept we need to do that, and work at it, no matter any differences, or, we are going to end up killing each other.

That is sane and respectful banter, and good to all there to talk and stay polite.
