Where was PENCE today? And whose Bible was that?

[Grasswire2]

Inquiring minds want to know...

And why does the press secretary dress like a weirdo?

[secondwind]

1. That bible looked like it had never been cracked open.

Looked brand new to me.

[unitedwethrive]

2. I'm sure they sent someone out to buy it when they cooked up this brilliant scheme.

Such brain power in that group.

3. Someone grabbed a Gideon Bible from his hotel?

[JHB]

4. Was it a bible? It had no cross, writing, or other ornamentation

It could have been precisely what it was used for: a stage prop.

[sprinkleeninow]

5. did he(pocrit) autograph it after the prop stunt?

[Poiuyt]

6. Didn't he take that from the church?

The bishop of that church was outraged that he pulled that stunt without permission.

7. I'm surprised Trump didn't burst into flames handling that Bible.

8. Shrug - out trying to conceive with dumpy "Mother"

a new nation who would be conceived in liberty, dedicated to the proposition that ALL men were created equal, were endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights not covered but ascribed by new proclamations - rule of law or commandments be damned?

NAH...maybe? hunkering down just in case the Orange Menace stroked out at his own photo-op after/while delivering his half-baked insane encoded message to Putin about payin his debt in kind - not in cash? or asking the rats of his rich scared older than dirt cult and their sons of liberty to clap harder for Tinkerbelle; zoom meeting at home on the pretext he could still catch that pesky ol' virus that keeps killing voters who unfortunately are bereft of their favorite sinful entertainments. Then maybe there's minding the bot phone lists for strong-arming widows for their mites - such a lot to do!!! Oh screw it - too much! He's relaxing with a copy of The Prince from his book list before the next book club meeting with Moscow Mitch?

[Hamlette]

9. who thought this was a good idea and why?

I get that Trump got mad that the media made fun of him for going to the bunker. He hates when people say he is weak.

And I can see, that they cooked up the "call out the troops" speech to make it look like he wasn't weak.

But what was the church bit about. Have your picture taken in front of a church, holding a bible and looking mean or mad or whatever that look is.

What was that about?

[Bluesaph]

10. Maybe it was a signal?

I felt like he was too obvious. He’s usually a better actor but here he made it obvious it was a photo op. I think he was signaling something or someone!
