Veja Du - all over again...

As if anyone needed further evidence of what a vile, disgusting person he still is... Trump had his lap dog, Nikki Haley, vote against the ban on death penalty for homosexuality.

Edit;  And apostasy...the extremist right wingers who claim to be all about being Christian should be up in arms about that - it means that missionaries and anyone they convert are gonna be executed.



Well, that's completely repugnant. So about right for Trump.

OK,  even when I know it's a troll,  I usually understand the comment.   But I'm going to need elaboration on this one.  What specifically are you LOL-ing?  I'm actually curious on this one...

Stupid Trump.

The United States voted against this resolution because of broader concerns with the resolution’s approach in condemning the death penalty in all circumstances and calling for its abolition.

The United States unequivocally condemns the application of the death penalty for conduct such as homosexuality, blasphemy, adultery and apostasy. We do not consider such conduct appropriate for criminalisation and certainly not crimes for which the death penalty would be lawfully available as a matter of international law.

It called for ending the death penalty for homosexuality, blasphemy, adultery and apostasy; and for not using it as punishment with minors, the mentally disabled and pregnant women. What exactly is there to be against?

I just cited the article.    Apparently it condemned the death penalty "in all circumstances and calling for its abolition."   I can't say I read the actual UN resolution text, I have to leave something to the reporters.


If it was as you state, I would agree that we had no reason not to sign.   If instead, it was as the article stated, condemning the death penalty as a whole might have been seen as a little hypocritical.

Resolution seems to be more directed at pushing this to session 40, then 42 - to talk more about it...  ??

Like slogging through quicksand.  They do seem to like the word, "cluster"...seems appropriate.

I don’t share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

And because it's Trump. This is from 2014:

Dodging reality 140 characters at a time

Though Tillerson didn't deny calling Trump a moron, Trump tweeted: "The @NBCNews story has just been totally refuted by Sec. Tillerson and @VP Pence. It is #FakeNews. They should issue an apology to AMERICA!"

I cannot believe the lengths Trump goes for that photo op. Forcing that guy out of bed to meet him. Disgusting. Anyway, back to the moron stuff.

Can't root for the shooter. That's your job. Here are some pictures of the President visiting the wounded. There also numbers of pictures of the President meeting with police. Presumably, they did not act stupidly.  I fully expect lots of this from swake and his flame
