Isn't the new one a little risque for the likes of Pence......
isn't the T "riding" the P. I thought Pence would object because of his homo-phobe
self-loathing beliefs.
Methinks he doth protest too much.

Foreign Policy with these two guys at the helm will be a hilarious disaster.
I don't know where the fuck some people get the nerve to say Hillary is NOT
qualified, plus that she's a war monger. That might be so, but these two will
start a World War and they won't even know it.
And if they do, Trump will say......."I don't care."

Donald Trump has made the decision to go to war in Iraq a major foreign policy litmus test, concluding that Hillary Clinton was “trigger-happy” for supporting what he called a “disaster.” But Trump’s vice president, Mike Pence, was a major proponent of that conflict.
Pence was a co-sponsor of the war resolution. The bill's sponsor, Dennis “Denny the child molester” Hastert, is in Federal Prison today. www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/107/hjres114
Pence gave a messianic justification for invading Iraq: “There is a nation, some 50 nations, that stand ready to end [Iraqis’] oppression, to dry their tears, and to lead Iraq into a new dawn of civilization, a new dawn of freedom from oppression and torture and the abuse of women and the stifling of basic civil and human rights.”

In 2007 Pence visited Baghdad and proclaimed it to be “like a normal outdoor market in Indiana in the summertime.” Three months earlier, a suicide bomber detonated himself in the market, killing 88 people.
Iraqis disagreed with Pence’s assessment of the Shorja market’s “friendly relaxed atmosphere.” Karim Abdullah, a textile merchant at Shorja, said that the lawmakers “were laughing and talking to people as if there was nothing going on in this country or at least they were pretending that they were tourists. … To achieve this, they sealed off the area, put themselves in flak jackets and walked in the middle of tens of armed American soldiers.”

Trump now has a Hillary wannabe as his VP. The Pence pick signals that Trump may not truly be committed to a more restrained foreign policy. It is really not that surprising because after the killing of 77 in Nice two days ago Trump said that this was now a “world war scenario” and, as president, he would seek a formal declaration of world war from Congress.

The only winning move here is to rob a bank and leave the country...
Great idea.

Trump saved him an embarrassing defeat in the Gubernatorial race, by all accounts.

Under Mike Pence, Indiana’s Economic Engine Has Stalled
INDIANAPOLIS – As Mike Pence and his attack-dog Eric Holcomb begin their “Start Your Engines Tour” today, it’s worth noting that under the governor’s first term in office – the state of Indiana and its economic engine have stalled.
Currently, Hoosiers earn just 86 cents on the dollar compared to the average American. That’s nearly $7,000 less per year. And Indiana’s per capita income dropped to 38th in the nation. With the state being ranked dead LAST in economic growth in the Midwest, Hoosier workers are left falling behind the rest of the nation.
“Mike Pence has touted various ranks and ratings to fit his out-of-touch view of the state’s economy, but the only figures Hoosiers care about are their incomes. Under Mike Pence, wages have fallen and the state’s economy has stalled,” said Drew Anderson, communications director. “Hoosiers already know the governor will always put his ideology ahead of what’s best for them. However, when will Governor Pence stop scaring good jobs away because of his radical social agenda? Mike Pence is simply not getting the job done, and bottom line – it continues to hurt Hoosier families.”

The way I view it, the VP choice is cheap life insurance. As in .... "If you want to assassinate me, just look who you get afterwards!" That would be the logical choice, and explains why McCain chose Palin, and why Obama chose Biden. So, what you do is decide which demographic that you're weakest in, and then choose the most extreme representative of that demographic to balance the ticket. Hmmm.... by that reasoning, Hillary should pick the same guy!
Other than that, I feel that no good comes from Indiana, except 6IX and WISHY.

I think it's time you disabused yourself of that pleasant little fairy tale about our fearless leaders being some sort of surrogate daddy or mommy, laying awake at night thinking about how to protect the kids. HA! In reality, they're thinking about who to sell them to so that they can get a few more shekels in their pockets.

Pence and the Christofascists, sounds like a good book!?

It's not Pence, but it is an excellent series of stories:
Why Recent Child Rape Case Against Trump Should Not Be Ignored: Victim Has A Witness
www.dailykos.com/story/2016/6/29/1543742/-Why-Recent-Child-Rape-Case-A
gainst-Trump-Should-Not-Be-Ignored-Victim-Has-A-Witness
NBC legal analyst, Lisa Bloom, makes a compelling argument as to why the MSM should not ignore the recent child rape case filed by “Jane Doe” against Donald Trump.
Jane Doe reports she was raped more than once by Donald Trump when she was 13 years old. The entire piece is worth a read because it cites other rape cases filed against Trump (link below).
However, in this diary I want to focus on the recent Jane Doe case because, as Bloom points out: “It is exceedingly rare for a sexual assault victim to have a witness.”
www.scribd.com/doc/316341058/Donald-Trump-Jeffrey-Epstein-Rape-Lawsuit
-and-Affidavits#fullscreen
In relation to why the media is avoiding this story, Lisa Bloom is fair handed. But I don’t think the MSM deserves a fair shake. In my opinion, the media wants to keep Trump viable to create a high-tension, general election horse race and anything that threatens Trump’s viability is ignored.
Lastly, since Trump was a pal of convicted child rapist Jeffrey Epstein, it's not a stretch to think Trump is one too. Like my dearly departed Mom used to say, “Tell me who your friends are and I will tell you who you are.”
Do I believe Jane Doe and Tiffany Doe are telling the truth? Absolutely — yes.

.html
In the Bill Cosby case, many women waited decades before stepping forward. And they were adults at the time of their assaults.
Now, consider that in the Donald Trump case (and the case has been filed, if you are in any doubt) Jane Doe was 13 at the time and threatened with harm, possibly death, by powerful adult men. What are the odds a child of this age would run to police?
