Religious extremism and fundamentalism - just in a Christian form as opposed to Islamic. The same threat.

Because the Trump administration is clueless...

ImpeachBothMFs already!

Nothing can stick to pence, he's made of wax

The neocons are back. They won’t stop until they blow up the planet

As he should. He understands and respects that it's not his call, or Bolton's or SecState Pompeo's. It belongs to POTUS alone.

Mike Pence says Trump administration not sure if Iran leadership authorized shooting down of U.S. drone'We're not convinced that it was authorized at the highest levels,' said the vice president. It was violating Iranian airspace, of course they authorized it to be shot down. If Iran flew a drone over American airspace we'd do the same. Is Mike Pence right? Could a 400-pound couch potato have authorized shooting down of U.S. drone? Maybe it shot itself down 😂🤣

Mike Pence avoided answering whether he thinks climate change is a 'threat' 5 times in interviewThe timing of the interview came as the Trump administration continues to roll back Obama-era environmental regulations. Pence is a fucking IDOIT Charlatan Pence! The worse representation of the U.S. He's avoided more than that question. As Vice President there are many things he's avoided. He's lurking behind Trump, awaiting his turn to drive the ship. He UNDERSTANDS the GAME. He's playing his position in hopes that the Republican 'base' rewards him.

Mikey used his ole favorite 'Oh, of *course* ...' Again. This time in response to whether the kids in these camps should be provided basic care. Last time I remember him using it was answering that nobody on the campaign met with any Russians...we saw how that worked out. He is a disgusting person. FakeChristian FakeCatholic Infuriating! Blame everyone else except the administration in power overseeing this cabinet! History will not be kind ass wipe!

Lawmakers Skeptical of Asylum-Law Changes in Two WeeksU.S. lawmakers expressed doubts Sunday that they could advance legislation to toughen the asylum process for migrants in the next two weeks, as sought by President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence after the administration delayed a planned weekend round of deportations. DEPORT THEM! Since it's been over two years with realDonaldTrump doing almost nothing about Immigration, I am sure two more weeks will solve it all...buffoon Why can’t the asylum process be initiated in the home countries of these immigrants? Why not give these folks the option to apply BEFORE they take such a perilous journey. Instead, by the time they get to the US border, they have nothing left to lose.
