Has the Bible ever been used in a more disingenuous and exploitative way?
“Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father...And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand...at the street corners, that they may be seen” Matthew 6:1 https://t.co/ONYVB3OJYs— Ted Lieu (@tedlieu) June 2, 2020
Remember the video from DC of the cameraman getting face punched by a cop? Well he was broadcasting live to Australia as he got punched. And it was broadcast live to audiences on other side of the globe in π¦πΊ... here is it. Disgusting.

A cop just shot in the head at a courthouse here in Vegas. Another dead at Circus Circus by the sounds of it. Protesters are not killing cops, sounds like sniper & sniping ain't part of protesting, in case anyone was unaware. No other info at this time, stay out of the area.

This video of Grand Rapids PD, they fired a tear gas grenade at this man's face after macing him. These are the people that are supposed to protect and serve. They are supposed to keep communities safe. These bad apples are dangerous

The fact that Trump spoke with Zuckerberg on Friday and Putin today but still hasn’t addressed the American people tells you pretty much everything you need to know about him.

Thread ; absolutely baffled who thought this military deployment in the homeland was a good idea. Destroying trust in another institution, eroding public confidence, talking like U.S. streets are Baghdad, buzzing citizens w/aircraft, CJCS roaming the streets like it's some bizarre movie
i can't hardly look at the authoritarian content being pointed at us right now, there is no counter. Its just painful, the last three months, COVID-19 to protests and response, just divisiveness and sadness - American self destruction.— Clint Watts (@selectedwisdom) June 2, 2020
obvious the protests, looting & violence has grown to level many police departments can't handle, but that doesn't mean swing to full military escalation. Law enforcement should be assisted & reinforced, is why we have a DoJ & DHS. Why SecDef briefing? CJCS out in the streets?— Clint Watts (@selectedwisdom) June 2, 2020
Imagine your a soldier deploying to DC or another U.S. city right now, and your enlistment has been tours in Iraq, AFG, then maybe the SW border to stop imaginary caravans & now to fire tear gas at your fellow citizens - just terrible— Clint Watts (@selectedwisdom) June 2, 2020

Bishop Budde comments on President Trump's visit to St. John's Episcopal Church: "He was proceeded by a violent clearing of nonviolent protesters to make his way and he was using our church as a backdrop and the Bible as a prop."
