OK, I’ll bookmark this for future reference. As soon as Pence sits down with Rodrigo Duterte it will be true Pence is in favor of extra judicial executions.

Betcha Q-Tip scrubbed his hands for an hour after that handshake.

Yeah, and then proceeded to have sex with Mother for good measure.

Absolutely. The same way that those Diamond & Silk creatures prove that the Rethugs aren’t racist.

Through the years, some of us (POC) have opted for getting paid and shaming ourselves. My champ will forever be Clarence Thomas, the most destructive African American in United States History.

It’s like how Jesus spent years denouncing Samaritans, but then he had that one good parable so now it’s all cool.

He meets with trump all the time. Must mean he thinks coveting thy neighbor’s wife is AOK!

That is a very high honor, indeed.

FWIW, i agree.

And also, FWIW, for white people, the Dotard is right up there with him.

Pence now has a gay Irish friend. How can he be a homophobe?

wish more people would understand how evangelical Christians think of gay people: not as pathogens, but as morally lost — and like all lost people within that moral framework, “saveable.”

“Morally lost” and ”saveable[sic]” imply that something is wrong with gay people. And if anyone is morally lost it’s these fucking, god-bothering, Trump-voting evangelicals.

Something tells me what they do might not be called sex by most people.

Judd Deere then added — that during grace before the lunch with the Irish PM, Pence will be praying for Varadkar’s and Barrett’s lost souls.

I’ll bet that Nikki is looking better and better among t rumpp’s base about now.

Wow. Just because Pence didn’t burst into flames in the mere presence of a gay person proves absolutely nothing as to how we clearly know how he feels about the LGBTQ community (those of us here in Indiana know him the best). As Trump’s appointed domestic policy adviser since the campaign, I would imagine that he’s at the epicenter of every anti-LGBTQ policy put forth by the Trump (mis-)Administration.
