Q-Tip isn’t fit to utter the MLK name, or plagiarize his speeches.

It was an outrageous comparison for Pence to make. MLK Jr. would not have endorsed Trump’s racist wall or the cruelty of his policies.

In Birmingham, Alabama Dr. King agreed to a plan “subpoena the conscience of the nation to the judgment seat of morality.” And on May 3, 1963 the Children’s March took place. They were met with firehoses and over 1,000 were jailed for marching for their rights…
Today Trump and Pence separate the children from their parents and put them in cages, and he dares to make a comparison.

It is a measure of Dr. King’s greatness that he would have reached out even to Trump and Pence.

Pence was just stealing a little quote to use for his own twisted logic. He’s been put in his place and hope he knows it.

During his interview, Pence repeated MLK’s quote “Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy” and declared that’s “exactly” what Trump was doing by demanding $5.7 billion for his unpopular border wall.

No, Pence, Trump’s promise was that “Mexico will pay for the wall” and anyone with a brain knew that was a lie. Now is the time to admit it was a stupid idea and move on, but we all know that nobody is going to tell Emperor Donald of Orange that he’s not wearing any clothes.

Look at how they have re-invented Jesus. Literally nothing, except money and power, is sacred to them.

If only Dr. King could break free of his monument and crush those two desecrators. Ok, sci-fi dream.

Yep. That’s my biggest worry about impeaching Individual 1. We would be left with Pence in the Oval Office.
