Trump is an asshole idiot, but Pence strikes me as having a lot more Dead Zone Greg Stillson going on. Which scares the bejesus out of me.

Zealots of all colours are the same. They are all blinded by the beam in their eye.
Which is an amazing thought in itself, isn’t it? That Trump could still be a lesser evil? Oh, how deeply the mighty have fallen. I think it’s time we raise the bar of ethical standards in politics by, I don’t know, Empire State Building heights.
ITs basically: Crazy lying cheating bastard that kisses up to the evangelicals (that believe that its ok, god will understand) as they rape the country and put everyone they don’t like behind bars.
I fear competent evil far more than incompetent evil.
I’ve had this exact conversation more than once. It’s a real tuffy Trump is so cartoonishly corrupt and incompetent it keeps him from getting anything long lasting pushed through.
Seriously, no lie. I let out a huge snort laughing at that.
Yes. Cult of personality is always more dangerous.
Saw it on Netflix. Actually kind of interesting as how Hitler equated bigger with better.
Not enough stars for this. The constant chaos within the Drumpf White House at least slightly limits the damage they can do, Scott Pruitt notwithstanding. President Pence (gag) would be ruthlessly efficient at imposing a Christian Taliban government where-ever possible (Limit abortion access, LGBT rights, etc.), while…
I’m going to go with Pence. We know Trump is crooked, venal and childish. We can deal with that (i.e. Meuller), but Pence? That’s a skunk of a different odor. If he positions himself with God on his side, he could send half the nation to concentration camps and the other half would support him absolutely without…
They are both pieces of shit. Trump however is more erratic. With Trump you have a wider range of possibilities, both negative and positive. Negative - Trump starts a war with Iran. Positive - Trump tries to start a war with Iran and fails.
I don’t know about America, but Pence would be worse for me. They are both evil, they both want to see me and those like me wiped out, but Trump’s incompetence makes it harder to get their agenda out there properly. He keeps getting in the way with his tantruming ego. Pence doesn’t have that self sabotaging streak to…
This essay should be FAR more widely read:
This. It’s a career. I worked in a place that had a guy who thought it was great to act like a cross between Louis CK and Steve Carrell from The Office. He had a habit of throwing out casually racist things, farting everywhere, doing things sexually to others, pranks, etc and played it all with this "I'm just a…
I’ll be honest—the women that these men victimized are serving a life sentence of having all the same feelings of shock and disgust come right back up again whenever they see these assholes, so why shouldn’t they have to serve a life sentence of keeping the fuck out of the spotlight? There are some things you do that…
I feel like these guys are hoping for forgiveness (or maybe just... forget-ness?), but they’re skipping the steps where you really work to acknowledge, not minimize, the harm you did, AND you take steps to make things right. Forgiveness shouldn’t automatically happen because time passes, and victims don’t owe it to…
It worked. You're here commenting on it.
I really hate this picture, I know celebrities have no choice but to be photographed everywhere, but this seems like such a private and sad moment between two people who are still trying to raise three children together. This picture is an obnoxious invasion of their privacy.
