You mean, like, hypothetically if a congressman were to yell something like "You lie!" at a president during a speech to Congress? That would be super inappropriate, but luckily Obama has always been treated with respect.
You are killing it, sir.

Yet Trump is going to be the best friend the LGBT community has ever had. Fuck, just the election of these two makes me weep for where our country will be headed the next two years. Our social advances are going to be rewinded 60-70 years.
He absolutely HAS called being gay a choice, and said keeping gay couples from marrying is not discrimination.

It should be ok to beat your kid with a wire hanger, not only in Indiana, but nationwide. Good job passing a Religious Freedom Restoration Act when we've enjoyed religious liberty in this country for a long time now.

Then she made the kid pray for forgiveness.

The only religious freedom that law protects is any bullshit the Christian want to do. If a Muslim or Wiccan had tried to hide behind that bogus law, it would never have worked.

WASPs wouldn't even stand up for their own law when it was an immigrant with cultural differences yet the same religion.

It's actually stunning to me that the Hamilton thing is the big news right now, and not the fact that he essentially implied to a bunch of diplomats that it would help them gain favor if they stayed at his hotel.

My prediction is that the president-elect won't last through 2017 before impeachment proceedings begin. He has no sense of the office, its boundaries or the myriad conflicts of interest he's already presented before he's even been sworn in. And for Republicans, why not impeach him? They get Pence, who's their wet dream come to life.

Yea, I'm worried this will be the template: Maintain headlines for innocuous stuff while the Earth-killing deals barely get a blip in coverage.

I'm really not sure his should be a surprise. Look at what America has become with celebrity status, "reality tv" shows, YouTube sensations. Over the past 20 years we have gone further down this fuck hole. It only makes sense that Donald is now our president. They say you have to breakdown to breakthrough. Maybe this is the bottom.

Yeah, there has been so much crying wolf in the last week, it's hard to tell what's really going on.

If someone were to gently admonish Obama (for the sake of argument) in a similar way to make a political point, I really think people would go fucking bananas.

Pence wasn't there in an official capacity and had family members with him, I think the focus on him was rude in the circumstances and the speech itself dopey and pious.

Judgemental pious people not liking when people are judgemental and pious back at them. Shock horror.

The joe Biden memes have been the best cure for this whole thing. They're a tonic. So funny.
