I think this has already been posted, but this is the “official” version of what went down yesterday… Brave President walks outside the safety and security of the White House to survey the destruction of a beloved house of worship. Oh, and to thank the officers who helped restore order when a Democratic mayor failed. It’s disgusting, but it works.

This is a big part of what the Right-wing propaganda /media machine thrives on, keeping their viewers selectively uninformed.
Not going to watch the clip of him with the bible again, but I thought it looked like he glanced at it, realized it was upside down, then did a quick calculus about what to do, and decided that turning it over would look worse than just holding it up and playing it off legit *. Just so stiff and fake, with so much insecurity showing out so clearly…

Man, he is just a flat out moron. His response to the protests is to scream “SHUT UP.” Because telling a person with righteous outrage to calm down always works.
Getting kind of nervous. I don’t see this getting smaller soon. People are getting more and more outraged every time he fucks up the response.
With any luck he goes to Mar-A-Lago to chill with his friends and golf’s everyday.
I noticed that too and was unfamiliar with that utilization.
Sir, Macy’s is way overpriced!

I would he know it was upside down by looking it. Pretty sure he is illiterate and upside Bible probably makes as much sense as right side up Bible.
