Sigh. I miss him, I miss this time of General peace and rebuilding. I never lost hope that we would pull through the economic crisis, or that we wouldn’t be kept safe. Osama Bin Laden’s death was reported, and left alone — not glorified and used to threaten and further escalate. He led us through that. He and his family have blessed our country in immeasurable ways. If he ever did anything again, I would jump in a heartbeat to serve the public as a part of his team. |

Let’s Be Clear: Park Police Hit DC Protesters With Tear Gas
https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2020/06/trump-dc-protest-tear-gas-park-police/ “Tear gas,” an umbrella term for about a half-dozen so-called “riot-control agents” or “less lethal” chemical weapons, most often refers to CS gas, a powerful irritant devised by two Middlebury College researchers in the 1920s. But it can also refer to OC, or oleoresin capsicum, an ultra-concentrated form of the compound in hot peppers mixed with carriers that make it stick to your skin and lungs more easily. Both cause tears, and both, in quantity, do a permanent number on lungs and nerves. The distinction only matters if you’re treating medical damage or covering your ass; the Centers for Disease Control calls every such chemical “tear gas,” including CS, OC, and others. But for police, “pepper balls”—dense projectiles containing OC, which the Park Police insist they used—are very convenient. They can be fired again and again from a gun. They hurt. (In fact, they hurt worse than CS gas.) |

Not unless you’re the president. I honestly don’t Give a damn what Ivanka wears or how much it costs. I’m much more interested in the actual constitutional violations and civil rights abuses than how much her purse cost. What a bizarre thing to focus on at this moment. |

Yes and Obama personally did the tear gassing, don’t you recall? I mean, when he could fit it in to his busy schedule doing antiChrist-y stuff. |

The question came up, where did the Bible come from. Answer: Ivanka carried it over in her super-expensive handbag. |

PS. That looks like a dumb joke, but it's not. It was reported in the Daily Mail. |

I know, I just don’t care. We already know she uses extravagantly expensive stuff. Not like she’s going to suddenly produce a purse from Target just to hold the Bible. The better question would be why does the president feel that displaying a Bible and doing nothing else is effective (or constitutional - talk about a potential violation of the Establishment Clause ...). |

On the CSPAN video you can see when she hands him the Bible in front of the church. |
