Trump mocks Pence by asking people after they met with him, “Did Mike make you pray?”

[OffensivelyOpenMinded]

For some reason this old pathetic orange mf acts as though he's on some world stage that's always in a entertainment mold. I get it, I mean everyone loves a good comedy act...I just with the mf would have stuck with what he knows best, how to bs people and make a buck in the private sector. Today's he's neither funny nor entertaining...he's just this big blob of scary halloween candy that you just can't seem to swallow.

You meant to say President Orange Blob, right

They're pathetic, brother.

I skimmed the article, but didn't see the quote. Don't care if he did say that. Sounds like something I'd say. The left doesn't get Trumps humor.

Word Search is your friend.

>> But, according to a longtime associate, Trump also likes to “let Pence know who’s boss.” A staff member from Trump’s campaign recalls him mocking Pence’s religiosity. He said that, when people met with Trump after stopping by Pence’s office, Trump would ask them, “Did Mike make you pray?” Two sources also recalled Trump needling Pence about his views on abortion and homosexuality. During a meeting with a legal scholar, Trump belittled Pence’s determination to overturn Roe v. Wade. The legal scholar had said that, if the Supreme Court did so, many states would likely legalize abortion on their own. “You see?” Trump asked Pence. “You’ve wasted all this time and energy on it, and it’s not going to end abortion anyway.” When the conversation turned to gay rights, Trump motioned toward Pence and joked, “Don’t ask that guy—he wants to hang them all!” <<​

It wasn't "humor" at all; it was the same juvenile penis-wagging insecurity power play he spends every waking moment on (which is to say every moment since he never sleeps). Which also explains the authoritarian-sycophant OP swooning for this sophomoric shit since that's the kind of bullshit that impresses a masochist like him.

But that's hardly what the article's about. This passage is buried at the bottom. It's far more informative of what kind of hypocritical fuckup we'll have to deal with when the present Fuckup-in-Chief rumps himself out of a job. It's far more about the Koch brothers and the corporatocracy (the "swamp") and its inextricable ties to Pence, than it is about Rump.

Sorry, but I just don't care enough. I use my phone 99% of the time on the innertubes

 

[Pogo]

Pence is going to make for a great president.

Read the article while you still have time to edit that.

Pence is our next president. Watch.

That's good, you backed up halfway.

And you may easily be right about that. That's exactly why I say read the article, and see what you're getting into

Whose fault is that?

I think you've just provided insight into why the unwashed masses are such low-info voters. If it doesn't fit on a phone it's beyond so many people's reading pay grade. And that's sad.

For the record I could have word-searched it but actually I read the whole thing, and it was time well spent.

I don't know why anyone would work for Trump. Trump is a straight up asshole.

I know it's rough to think outside your little box Pogo, but yea, Trump was needling Pence on LGBT issues, because he wanted to know if Pence was as much a lunatic as the left made him sound before choosing him to be his running mate. He also likely continues to remind Pence that /his/ ideas - that SSM is law now - are not being undermined by Pence's beliefs.

Pence strikes me familiar, its like I "could" lead, but I prefer to support others - "right hand man" in every sense. If Pence is like me, then he's perfectly happy to reaffirm that Trumps calling the shots. It's just like when I'm managing for an owner and I'm freaking out because the tills off - someones stealing, but the owner says they don't give a shit. I step down and let it go, because I don't own the place and it's not my place to decide how "seriously" to take an issue, it's up to the owner. Same idea.

Well said. Pence is a team player, unlike some in Trumps administration who think they're there to push their own agenda. Trump has many enemies in Congress (McConnell and Ryan) who undermine him every step of the way. Pence is one of the good ones. I'd have no problem voting for him in 7 years should he decide to run.

Capice?

Reading is still a lost art.

And as far as "as much a lunatic as the left made him sound", I don't know anybody anywhere who ever even heard of him before Rump picked him over Christie. I was assuming he was picking Hunter Pence.

You apparently missed all the hoopla about Pence when he was running for the House and was the Governor of Indiana then, that's on you not Trump. Pence has been active in politics since 1988. This was a national controversy in the LGBT circles around/about him as well -- On March 26, 2015, Pence signed Indiana Senate Bill 101, also known as the Indiana "religious objections" bill (Religious Freedom Restoration Act, or RFRA), into law.[113] The law's signing was met with criticism by people and groups who felt the law was carefully worded in a way that would permit discrimination against LGBT persons.[114][115][116][117] Such organizations as the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), the gamer convention Gen Con, and the Disciples of Christ spoke out against the law. Apple CEO Tim Cook and Salesforce.com CEO Marc Benioff condemned the law, with Salesforce.com saying it would halt its plans to expand in the state.[118][119] Angie's List announced that they would cancel a $40 million expansion of their Indianapolis based headquarters over concerns with the law. The expansion would have moved 1000 jobs into the state.[120] Thousands protested against the policy.[114] Five GOP state representatives voted against the bill, and Greg Ballard, the Republican mayor of Indianapolis, criticized it as sending the "wrong signal" about the state.[121]

Pence defended the law, stating that it was not about discrimination. In an appearance on the ABC News program This Week with George Stephanopoulos,[122] Pence stated, "We are not going to change this law", while refusing to answer whether examples of discrimination against LGBT people given by Eric Miller of anti-LGBT group Advance America would be legal under the law.[123] Pence denied the law permitted discrimination and wrote in a March 31, 2015, Wall Street Journal op-ed, "If I saw a restaurant owner refuse to serve a gay couple, I wouldn't eat there anymore. As governor of Indiana, if I were presented a bill that legalized discrimination against any person or group, I would veto it."[124] In the wake of the backlash against the RFRA, on April 2, 2015, Pence signed legislation revising the law to prevent potential discrimination.

As to the rest; a bit touchy about me calling you out ain't ya? Your commentary was in reference to Trump's behavior in reference to the article; "juvenile penis-wagging insecurity power play" I explained that kind of shit happens all the time in business; it's alpha territorial shit and it sure as hell isn't kids play, which is why liberals in general suck at it - they're skin is too thin to handle passive aggressive joking because they take everything as an attack, rather than as a mere commentary. It is possible to respect someone even when you completely disagree with their beliefs, goals, and objectives. For example, my husband is a religious asshole, my mother is a total push over with no backbone, my father is an authoritarian asshole, and my bio-father hates Mexicans - I can still respect these people even though their personal beliefs are not in alignment with mine.

Lefties tend to think "oh if they believe/think that then they're Hitler and I can't like them" but that's not the way it works for most people - shades of gray - it's why us normally adjusted folks laugh at them about their off the wall panics all the time. Same reason we laugh when they say shit like "Trump's a sexual abuser" even though all Trump did was make joke, a bad joke perhaps, but a "true" joke.

Kinda sounds rather similar to a "did he make you pray" joke, if that's even true. I bet Pence isn't worried about it too much - he's not a woman, nor a thin skinned beta male.

I notice you had to remove your original post in an attempt to backtrack your statements on the subject which I responded - too bad the forum hasn't forgotten your words here:

It wasn't "humor" at all; it was the same juvenile penis-wagging insecurity power play he spends every waking moment on (which is to say every moment since he never sleeps). Which also explains the authoritarian-sycophant OP swooning for this sophomoric shit since that's the kind of bullshit that impresses a masochist like him.

But that's hardly what the article's about. This passage is buried at the bottom. It's far more informative of what kind of hypocritical fuckup we'll have to deal with when the present Fuckup-in-Chief rumps himself out of a job. It's far more about the Koch brothers and the corporatocracy (the "swamp") and its inextricable ties to Pence, than it is about Rump.

Anonymous sources. Unnamed high officials. There isn't even normal curiosity from the left.

You apparently missed all the hoopla about Pence when he was running for the House and was the Governor of Indiana then, that's on you not Trump.

I didn't even bring up Rump. I'm just saying nobody outside of Indiana ever heard of him. That's why this article was informative.

. Pence has been active in politics since 1988.

So I learned from reading the article. As I just said, informative.

This was a national controversy in the LGBT circles around/about him as well -- On March 26, 2015, Pence signed Indiana Senate Bill 101, also known as the Indiana "religious objections" bill (Religious Freedom Restoration Act, or RFRA), into law.[113] The law's signing was met with criticism by people and groups who felt the law was carefully worded in a way that would permit discrimination against LGBT persons.[114][115][116][117] Such organizations as the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), the gamer convention Gen Con, and the Disciples of Christ spoke out against the law. Apple CEO Tim Cook and Salesforce.com CEO Marc Benioff condemned the law, with Salesforce.com saying it would halt its plans to expand in the state.[118][119] Angie's List announced that they would cancel a $40 million expansion of their Indianapolis based headquarters over concerns with the law. The expansion would have moved 1000 jobs into the state.[120] Thousands protested against the policy.[114] Five GOP state representatives voted against the bill, and Greg Ballard, the Republican mayor of Indianapolis, criticized it as sending the "wrong signal" about the state.[121]

Pence defended the law, stating that it was not about discrimination. In an appearance on the ABC News program This Week with George Stephanopoulos,[122] Pence stated, "We are not going to change this law", while refusing to answer whether examples of discrimination against LGBT people given by Eric Miller of anti-LGBT group Advance America would be legal under the law.[123] Pence denied the law permitted discrimination and wrote in a March 31, 2015, Wall Street Journal op-ed, "If I saw a restaurant owner refuse to serve a gay couple, I wouldn't eat there anymore. As governor of Indiana, if I were presented a bill that legalized discrimination against any person or group, I would veto it."[124] In the wake of the backlash against the RFRA, on April 2, 2015, Pence signed legislation revising the law to prevent potential discrimination.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz................................

As to the rest; a bit touchy about me calling you out ain't ya? Your commentary was in reference to Trump's behavior in reference to the article; "juvenile penis-wagging insecurity power play"

Umm.... nnnnno. Once again Evelyn Wood, my post was a simple rejoinder to another poster who couldn't find the quotation referenced in the OP because he didn't read far enough. I gave him that quotation BUT ALSO AT THE SAME TIME POINTED OUT THAT THAT IS NOT THE POINT OF THE ARTICLE.

Which it isn't. I read the whole thing and the referenced quote doesn't even appear until the end, like an epilogue.

OH LOOK --- A BUNNY.

As I said many times---- Reading is a lost art.

I notice you had to remove your original post in an attempt to backtrack your statements on the subject which I responded - too bad the forum hasn't forgotten your words here:

It wasn't "humor" at all; it was the same juvenile penis-wagging insecurity power play he spends every waking moment on (which is to say every moment since he never sleeps). Which also explains the authoritarian-sycophant OP swooning for this sophomoric shit since that's the kind of bullshit that impresses a masochist like him.

But that's hardly what the article's about. This passage is buried at the bottom. It's far more informative of what kind of hypocritical fuckup we'll have to deal with when the present Fuckup-in-Chief rumps himself out of a job. It's far more about the Koch brothers and the corporatocracy (the "swamp") and its inextricable ties to Pence, than it is about Rump.

I haven't "removed" a damn thing. If a post of mine was deleted I got no notice about it nor am I aware of it.

And your quote just confirms what I keep drumming into your thick cranium anyway. I made it real big so maybe even you can find it.
