Lightning Knight posted:If Trump is impeached the Republicans blow their electoral chances for the next few cycles because the Trump base will be royally pissed at the regular Republicans in Congress. As such, they aren't going to impeach Trump without indisputable, hard proof of bribery or blackmail from Russian intelligence, which almost certainly isn't going to happen. If trump's base is so strong they will replace all those regular republicans anyway so what would they care?

King Possum III posted:Yes, he advocates defunding HIV research and using the government's money instead for "conversion therapy." People like him really believe that gays live a tortured existence with their "unwanted same-sex attractions," and are desperate for a way out of the "lifestyle." It's weird, because it's never been clear if he meant that or just was saying other lovely republican opinions. Like he said they should defund AIDS treatment until the government stopped funding the behavior that spreads AIDS and people jumped to that meaning "being gay", and it might well be that he meant that but it's a reach and he might just mean stuff like "giving out condoms" using the good old lovely republican logic that always thinks condoms increases sex or whatever.

King Possum III posted:No, it's well known that he despises gay people, and the conversion therapy thing is only one example. His track record as governor of IN is ample proof he's every bit as homophobic as Cruz or Huckabee. Yeah, absolutely, it seems like he wanted gay people to flat out die not get conversion, which is why the quote is weird, like the idea he wants gay conversion was the charitable interpretation and it seems like he just wanted to convert them into being not alive anymore. Like "pence wants gay conversion camps" always seems like a weird thing that softened his position from his actual position.
