Discussion: Pence Says He Supports Banning LGBTQ Flag From Embassies' Official Flagpoles

“We both feel that way very passionately, but when it comes to the American flagpole“
What the heck does that mean. Is this a phallic reference?

While Trump sexually assaults the flag,

Pence only gets the pole, or shaft.

I want some intrepid reporter to get Jarvanka on the record of this pride ban.

[spacesaver]

Yes. It’s a weird pole to die on, but then, it’s Pence.

“We both feel that way very passionately, but when it comes to the American flagpole, and American embassies, and capitals around the world, one American flag flies.”

This rustles up my jimmies about those other flags - black and white stars and stripes with special colors (red for fire fighters, blue for police, etc). I wonder if the same standard applies to those.

but when it comes to the American flagpole

Probably manufactured from imported steel.

It’s obvious to me this thing Pence is from some other planet, or no planet at all. He looks unreal, unhuman, and he is inhumane whatever he is.

Thank you, when I saw the pix the phrase “whiter shade of pale” popped into my head, so now as to be expected:

𝕬 𝖂𝖍𝖎𝖙𝖊𝖗 𝕾𝖍𝖆𝖉𝖊 𝕺𝖋 𝕻𝖆𝖑𝖊 - 𝕻𝖗𝖔𝖈𝖔𝖑 𝕳𝖆𝖗𝖚𝖒

And everyone here just knows that Pence and mother have never skipped the lights fandango.

[paul_lukasiak]

are other celebratory flags flown from official flagpoles at embassies?

[old_curmudgeon]

Let’s run Mike Dense up the flagpole.

Or just string him up.

“As the President said on the night we were elected, we’re proud to be able to serve every American,”

Then you’d think he’d be proud to fly the LGBTQ flag -a symbol of equality for all people -for the world to see.

[zlohcuc]

May we please send this vacuous oaf back to the worst part of the 1940s where he surely belongs?

[thunderclapnewman]

Pence is always proud to display his bigotry and ignorance—both of which he has in quantity.

[dizcuzted]

Pence loves thinking and talking about flagpoles. So many, tall, stiff flagpoles. Mother Pence, on the other hand, wishes he would stop thinking and talking about flagpoles.

[mrf]

Mikey Pence much be having those weird feelings again and shouting Mother!
Isn’t he the same guy who took the time and use of tax dollars to go to a Indianapolis Colts game to show support for the flag and chastise football players who engaged in quiet contemplative kneeling?

[emjayay]

Oh right, Trump feels “very passionately” about “serving every American.” Every word of that is an obvious and transparent lie.

Who you gonna believe, me or your own eyes?

I wonder if Pence acted like a duplicitous puppet (with himself as his own puppet master) before he went from being raised in a normal typical Democratic Catholic family to being a simple minded Born Again? Oddly, this happened in his college years. You know, the time in life where a lot of people raised in homophobic middle American society of the time figure out who they really are.

[benthere]

Pence is so pinched that a piece of coal in his sphincter would turn into a diamond.

[tomanthony]

I know what I’d like to do with one of those flagpoles, so-called vice president Putz!

[rascal_crone]

The engineers at WestWorld really need to work on their plastiflesh. Pence model #66 still has that nose /eye thing that looks like the sockets haven’t been properly molded.

[largefather]

Wow, he looks terrible. Someone get him a new coat of embalming fluid.

[jtx]

The argument is absurd, why should we fly any flag other than the American Flag? Good grief maybe we should fly all 50 state flags, or the NRA flag, or the American Legion flag, or the Russuan flag.

[dommyluc]

What I wouldn’t give to see Ru Paul and Chris Evans kick the shit out of Mike Pence, but they are both too good to be sent to prison for attacking a government official, no matter how vile and heinous that official happens to be.

Squinty-eyed Mother-Phucker says what?
