He's at least smart enough to know that if his incredibly swollen head explodes, the order of the Vice-Presidential day is going to be "first do no harm."

You.Are.Funny! The Hillary camp does this every day. Fuck, they specifically fundraise on this. We're now "Ready" for a woman. I guess the Dems weren't ready in 2008, when she was the presumptive nominee, far more qualified than Obama, and then got tossed out on her ear. But hey, forget that, NOW we are ready. Seriously. And NOW experience counts.

Oh, and you can Google and screenshot in about 10 seconds about 1000 posts of "So excited to finally vote for a woman", "So excited to have a black man in the white house", etc. BTW, nothing particularly wrong with either of those sentiments, but for you to both deny its existence and then to scold me for stating the obvious is beyond silly.

In the mirror bizarro world the conservative Ty (who posted a different reason to impeach w every day for 8 years) would be posted about how valid this claim is. Sad.

Pence is a crazy motherfucker. Read about it. He would end birth control, the first amendment, medical care and replace it with prayer.

The Donald picked him as a survival move. With a crazy mofo as veep no one is going to cap his ass.

Not a total lunatic? Then I guess John Wayne Gacey was OK because he played a clown at kids' parties.

Welcome to America in the 21st Century. A place where we have two very different Constitutions with the same words.

Re: I used to be disgusted, and now I try to be amused.

On a day when Trump was trying to build hate cred with his VP pick, I think we should all remember what America is really all about.

Um, why? I'm related to plenty of gun nuts, and that fact that Obama has never sent the black helicopters to take their weapons doesn't seem to slow the new conspiracy theories.
