That is where I got my information from..
Maybe if the pepper gas or whatever they used wasnt so similar to tear gas as far as the discomfort it caused, the clergy and priests wouldnt have made a mistake in identifying it..
Using chemical weapons to remove clergy from church grounds so it can be used for state/political use...
Tell me just how does that one jive with the us constitution, religious freedoms, or the separation of church and state??
LOL!!! Chemical weapons? The police can use pepper spray or tear gas to back up ANY person or crowd anytime they perceive a threat. That's not a constitutional issue. So how in the name of everything that is holy is this a constitutional issue???
Breaking up a peaceful protest.
You people are willingly, literally supporting the disregard for the Constitution. You are un-American. Shame on you.

The difference is, those Democrats didn't just bulldoze and gas a bunch of peaceful protesters and clergy to get that photo op, of them emulating Colin Kaepernick and taking a knee.
DeMarco said that “demonstrators were behaving peacefully” and that tear gas was deployed in an “excessive use of force.”
At 6:20 p.m., DeMarco said, the Park Police issued three warning announcements to the protesters. But he said the warnings were made using a hand-held megaphone at the base of the Andrew Jackson statue, 50 yards from the protesters. DeMarco said he stood 20 yards from the protesters, “the announcements were barely audible and I saw no indication that the demonstrators were cognizant of the warnings to disperse.”

This doesn't happen everyday ?!
Trump comes out of his bunker , walks direct out of the white house and across a park , has load of protesters tear gassed out of the way in front of him , and then stands outside a boarded up Episcopal church ... to hold up a Bible for a press photo opportunity ...surrounded by smoke !!
What in the actual F is going on please ?
We ve turned to the Irish times for an explanation as the Irish always make sense .
But all they've to add is that trump s deployed the army as well , so it is .

Since June 1 last year, it has been accepted as an article of faith that then-President Donald Trump ordered a group of peaceful Black Lives Matter protesters to be cleared from Lafayette Square across from the White House using tear gas and rubber bullets so he could cross the street for a photo-op at a nearby church.
Then-California Sen. Kamala Harris, now the vice president, said the next day that she “watched as President Trump, having gassed peaceful protesters just so he could do this photo op, then he went on to tear gas priests who were helping protesters in Lafayette Park.”
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi asked, “What is this, a banana republic?” George Stephanopoulos, a former spokesman for President Bill Clinton now with ABC News, asserted that “the administration asked police to clear peaceful protesters from the park across the White House so that the president could stage a photo op.”
There is only one problem with this narrative, which received wall-to-wall coverage on outrage-addled cable news shows and was pasted on the front pages of newspapers across the country: An independent investigation by the inspector general of the Interior Department has concluded it wasn’t true.

2020 called, they want their subject matter back. Have you not moved on yet? ATS has, thankfully.

Or....
First we see mobs of people, many carrying guns on the streets, converging on state capitols, forcing their way into the balconies of state houses, up inches away from cops faces screaming at them...
But one 75 year old man walks up to a cop and he ends up in critical condition in the hospital...
Double standards much??
They took possession of a church, albeit briefly, for a trump photo op!@ what's next, they gonna forcibly clear out a congregation during a Wednesday night prayer service so he can make a political speech?

Now that I know democrats are so touchy about the subject, I might just bump the thread once a month for next several years.
Thanks for the tip DJ!

translated as 26 posts per day, trump defense syndrome in full effect
dont just throw your "leftist" name caling at me, i think both the left and right are equally useless, ALL politicians are complete waste of space and deserve no defense from anyone, do you think any of them give a crap about you?
maybe go enjoy some real life instead of endless bickering over politics? and planning your next several years of life as someone who bumps threads, thats some ambition you got there, you will have to beat CWM he is the master of bumping threads, you are merely his apprentice
HMV is calling

He is one of the newest ones that is constantly backing as a cheerleader to this site's long term TDS crowd, care we must not.....
It is almost fishy the way this site always has cheerleaders that pop up from time to time to defend a certain ideaology. It is as if these characters are farmed to give the effect that a certain viewpoint is more popular based on the number of members that support it.

Translated wrongly, I'm not a Dem.
Did I stutter? I meant the words as I wrote them. Stop flogging a dead horse.
Or is Trump still going to overturn the 2020 election?

Did I just frustrate your efforts to spread falsehoods about this subject?
Leftists really hate that.
Apparently you do too.
That should probably tell you something about yourself.
But probably won't.

Lol, I am not a leftist or rightest, its seem your narrative is all about if someone critizes a politician you adore then they must be from the opposite end of the spectrum, one day you will mature and understand most adults think ALL politicians are tossers
please quote my falsehoods by the way, what does it tell you about someone who posts on average 26 times a day to a forum regarding politics or in your case idols?
