ihop Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 The only downside to Trump's impeachment would be Pence replacing him. If he's going to tone down his more radical policies the idea of Pence as president becomes a lot more palatable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medivh Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 A wholly positive development, although the fact that Congress pushed against Trump for it still has me worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryusei the Morning Star Posted February 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 The big flaw here is that it's from the Daily Mail, aka. Fake News British Edition.If you bothered to actually read. You'd notice the ABC Interview at the bottom. Maybe it was a russian hacker making a fake video?

cr47t Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 ABC is fake news though? No, I wasn't implying that I just know that the Daily Mail is essentially Britain's Breitbart in that they make things up, but will sometimes grab onto a real story in order to make them look like a "real" newspaper or news outlet, so I didn't click the link.

Ryusei the Morning Star Posted February 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 I didn't click the link.If you didn't click on the link, why were you shooting your mouth off about it's validity. You've got no ground to stand on seeing that the 2nd sentence was a mention that there's a video at the bottom. You didn't read, and then proceeded to sheet post. Nothing more.

epicmemesbro Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 I believe that Cr47t is trying to say that daily mail is a tabloid that has a tendency to "push the facts", and I have seen a few instances of them doing so, but the ABC video on there is an exception. As for the claim that Pence made, sounds like a forced strategy of sorts, no doubt to keep whatever integrity the administration still has together. Its very likely that this is a temporary compromise for his actual views. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine Jesse Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 This is absolutely meaningless when the GOP has already framed LGBT discrimination as "protecting the rights of religious people" on multiple occasions. Republicans are masters of doublespeak and this is no exception. This statement is not to be taken at face value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This statement is not to be taken at face value.even past face value, trump, unless i'm mistaken, has already said he would do nothing of the sort, and has made no moves that i know of, that counteract his claim. there's plenty things to doubt, but i don't think this is one of those things.

Sunshine Jesse Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 Considering that he parrots whatever he hears on Fox News and could very well turn it into policy, it's only a matter of time until he "learns" that gay weed marriage causes bad trade deals to be signed into law and accelerated hair loss. Who knows what'll happen then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This statement is not to be taken at face value.While you are right and it would be wise to look at this with skepticism, it is not necessarily helpful/good to homogenize the GOP into a single entity. (Even though they pretty much are.) I do wanna believe Mike Pence at least has the decency to be against outright discrimination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine Jesse Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 But the GOP establishment in congress is a homogenized entity. They worked in unison to undermine everything Obama wanted to do and generally vote for repugnant, rapacious policies, once more in unison. Unless you mean the voter base.

"All Republicans do X" "That Republican doing Not X doesn't count because all Republicans do X" Again, I'm skeptical, but to disregard it entirely because of party lines isn't necessarily helpful either.

"All Republicans do X" "That Republican doing Not X doesn't count because all Republicans do X" Again, I'm skeptical, but to disregard it entirely because of party lines isn't necessarily helpful either. It's no like the LGBT community (and other minority communities for that matter) doesn't have precedent for it. It'd be different if Republican politicians were more divided on the matter, but the party in general just does not seem to have a favorable opinion of the community. Even when Republican politicians speak in favor the LGBT community they still tend pass laws that harm us. Most of the time it just tends to be pat on the back before setting civil rights two steps back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
