The POTUS tear gassed peaceful protesters so he could take a ridiculous photo op holding a Bible up like some kinds of trophy.
And folks criticize someone for remarking about it. Truly unbelievable.

Are you ready for the **** show of woke political messaging that will accompany every NBA game? It's going to be insufferable.Jack and DP said:

Popovich and Kerr would be nobodies without a few superstars that grossly elevated these coach's reputations on and off the court. Without Duncan, Parker and Manu the Spurs are .500 to .600 teams and Popovich and Kerr are retreaded in some other NBA losing team. Pee Wee Herman could have won the majority of games with the Spurs talent!
Popovich is on his way out anyway so now he gets outspoken about Trump, riots, looting, etc??? The NBA, NFL, MLB and all sports will wait until they see which way the wind is blowing before they put their public relations teams into action. It will be sickening if there is a season as high school educated players tell the nation how to act.
Those in-bred sports franchises are no doubt filming tear jerking stories highlighting the sacrifices the millionaire players have made to help quell the thugs.

I can't stand Pops politics but this is silly. Pop and staff made Manu and Parker into stars, not the other way around. Oh, and without Jordan and Pippen the 90s Bulls woulda sucked. So?Thee University said:

Buffoons are in complete denial about the buffoon in chief.
It happened. They cleared the park before curfew, using rubber bullets and tear gas. So the buffoon could take a picture.

Maybe you don't torch people today for what others did last night? There were no reports of violence from Lafayette Park when the tear gas and rubber bullets started. They were clearly making a path for the President to walk to St. John's for his photo op.
Own it-that is who we have in the White House

would be just fine with me.
I haven't seen an updated statistic lately: are there still more illegitimate children of NBA players than there are actual players in the NBA?

You're clueless. You don't walk the leader of the free world out into crowds of protestors who were attacking the White House a few hours before. Your claim is that all the bad guys were gone and all the angels out there the next day. That's naive in the extreme. Does the president give orders to fire? No, there are military and Secret Service commanders who prepare the way. Do I believe those guys fired at innocents without asking them to disperse before the Executive in Chief went through? No I don't.Booray said:GhettoHEBear said:Hmmm, the a White House has been under attack and 50 Secret Service Agents were injured defending it.

The bishop of the church was there on scene and she says you're wrong, along with clergy from several other churches in the area that were present. Completely peaceful, and the police moved in without warning, about 30min before curfew. They did this so Trump could go snap a photo of himself holding a bible that he's never read upside down. Trump has such a low opinion of evangelicals' intelligence that he believes even an obvious political stunt like that won't hurt his standing with them, and evidently he was right.

The same thing would have happened for any President.
The point isn't just that he cleared the peaceful protestors. It's that he cleared the peaceful protestors for a meaningless and awkward photo op. Literally at the exact same time he was saying he was on the same side as all peaceful protestors, he was having peaceful protestors gassed and shot at with rubber bullets so that he could take a picture.
No other President would have even conceived of such a hare brained scheme.

Now it's being reported no tear gas was used. Oops!

i cant think of one president who would need tear gas to clear the way for his oomopa loompa self to go grandstand in front of a church that doesnt want him in front of it.

That was a stupid photo op.

Just a couple points above you said that there was no way they would move POTUS through the protestors. Now you are willing to believe that clearing the protestors was not coordinated with the White House, he was just going to walk through a bunch that were allegedly throwing rocks at the police.
Really? You actually believe that?
But can we just have some ball games to unify communities? Americans need a distraction.

Popovich is on his way out anyway so now he gets outspoken about Trump, riots, looting, etc??? The NBA, NFL, MLB and all sports will wait until they see which way the wind is blowing before they put their public relations teams into action. It will be sickening if there is a season as high school educated players tell the nation how to act.
Those in-bred sports franchises are no doubt filming tear jerking stories highlighting the sacrifices the millionaire players have made to help quell the thugs.
RC Buford built the Spurs. RC is not a coach.

President visits a Church and leftists are 'outraged '.
Some people have totally lost their minds .
RC Buford contributed greatly. But please don't tell me that the front office and a nineteen year old French player made an undeserving coach one of the greatest of all time.

I'm saying that your narrative that Trump ordered innocents to be tear gassed was almost certainly wrong. And now it turns out that tear gas wasn't even used according to reports. So I think I'm on target here.
Go back to the upside down Bible. It's the best thing you got.
