Awkward. GMA George, Robin each holding up book the day after SHITLER & *A* bible.

[UTUSN]

Not making a big deal - gudness knows we have enough nannying going on everywhere, and I mean, everywhere - it was just a moment of irony and a little dread.

Yesterday, we all saw here the *disgusting*/repulsive pictures of SHITLER, BARR, and all the goons, SHITLER talking authoritarian SHIT in the Rose Garden while "his" soldiers were dragging peaceful protesters, then SHITLER holding up *A* bible in front of a church he was debasing for a reality t.v. show STUNT.

So this morning coming inside from chores, I barely glanced at GMA/Robin interviewing a new author about her new book, fine. So as the interview wound down with all the excited happy talk, announcing that the author will soon appear in person on the show, Robin had the book in her lap, not showing it yet because the big reveal was to put it up in lights in (Times Square?) on the giant rolling lights thing (whachamacallit).

So the picture came back to Robin, George ------- each with a copy of the book, which they HELD UP IN THE AIR JUST LIKE SHITLER AND *a* bible!1 I didn't get chills, just an ironic jaw drop and a little dread.

**********Look, this is not a big deal, just a moment, and anybody who doesn't like it just skip this thread and let it sink. tia

1. I don't have a problem with that...

the GMA crew were making a point...Trump's "march" was his scripted "walking tall" moment and the Bible was nothing more than a prop...

2. "making a point"? - I really don't get that. You're saying they did it on purpose?

Let me work through this to see if I can find some point, or rather how you arrived at the thought there was a premeditated point. We know SHITLER's scripted thing and the bible prop.

When the GMA peeps held the book up in almost the same gesture, it hit me as *eerie* after going through what we went through last night.

Re-winding for myself: Let's see, the author was a young Black woman. The subject was about identical twins, one White, one Black, who " (decided to?) live different lives."

I don't know how the twins with their separate lives intersected with each other at the end, whether the point was to reconcile the White life and the Black life.

If that was the object of the book in the air - that it was a book of Black/White reconciliation (and I don't know if the book is about that) was mimicking SHITLER to contrast with a positive book - it didn't hit me like that. It takes quite a bit of reading-into, to arrive at an opinion that is not more valid.

I can only speak for myself and how something hits ME is my own valid thing.

3. yes they did it on purpose...

to Trump the Bible is a product not a holy book...slap his name and the presidential seal on the cover and he can sell a couple thousand copies to his white hate-filled yahoos with Trump banking 50% of the profits...
