He was okay with gay marriage before Obama and Hillary changed their minds to placate their voters....and he was okay with Bruce Jenner or any other Transgender using the bathrooms in his hotels.....Not that he gets ANY credit for it, since Obama has you all snowballed with his elegant lies.; 8/20/20, 5:46 AM
rhhardin said...: He's not homophobic. Entertainment is a hugely gay medium and Trump's been in it a long time.; 8/20/20, 5:47 AM
Big Mike said...: He.’s right, but it doesn’t matter.; 8/20/20, 6:01 AM
rhhardin said...: LGBT as an insterest group isn't structurally great. You take a group with entertainment skills and a tendency to whine and it quickly becomes something to avoid. A public relations problem they apparently don't see.; 8/20/20, 6:05 AM
Rory said...: Jim Nabors played the Trump Casino in 1989. Two weeks.; 8/20/20, 6:37 AM
Marcus Bressler said...: I do post-retirement part-time work at a local produce market. We are currently featuring Jersey Silver Queen corn. My co-worker, an older gay gentleman with white hair, declares that he is the silver queen of the market.

THEOLDMAN

Trump is all the things the Dems/Libs/MSM declare he isn't. They live in a Bizarro World.; 8/20/20, 6:40 AM
JAORE said...: If you look at many of the slurs against Trump they ring hollow:
Homophobic? See above.

Antisemitic? Moved the capitol of Israel, the recent agreement with the UAE...and more.

Anti AA? Empowerment zones. Lowest AA unemployment in history, pre-Covid.

Just look at the lies, debunked many times, that are used to paint Trump as an undesirable. The "Good people on both sides". The "Mexicans are criminals". Te "Trump banned Muslims". If they had the goods, they would not have to lie.; 8/20/20, 6:46 AM
MayBee said...: YEah I don't get how Trump is anti-gay. I guess because of some of the trans stuff. But gay and trans are different, as people should know.; 8/20/20, 6:54 AM
Howard said...: He's definitely the gayest President ever.; 8/20/20, 6:56 AM
Lucille Ballers said...: If he cared about or supported the LGBTQ community at all, he wouldn't have picked Mike Pence as his running mate.

That's like saying if you support America, and not the terrorists in the Middle East, then you wouldn't have elected Barack Obama as President.; 8/20/20, 7:10 AM

If Trump wanted to actually ameliorate differences between two interest groups in the center rather than stoke "division" what he have done differently?

That's what pisses the left off most about Grenell's Log Cabin meme, and why the left's response to it is to stoke those divisions.; 8/20/20, 7:27 AM
iowan2 said...: Look at Howard, slurring someone he doesn't like by inferring they are a homosexual. Like there is something bad, and icky about homosexuality.

He is sooo, woke.; 8/20/20, 7:49 AM
JAORE said...: He's definitely the gayest President ever.

Great trolling, Howard. Plays perfectly with the left's habit of saying, "We are the only party that defends the gay community, you fag."; 8/20/20, 7:50 AM
Meade said...: "You know what undercuts democracy?"; 8/20/20, 7:53 AM
Mike (MJB Wolf) said...: Name another candidate who has NEVER opposed gay marriage in any public statement. Go ahead I’ll wait. In fact let’s make it easier. What speaker at the DNC over 50-years-old has been CONSISTENT in support of gay marriage for their entire political career? Anyone? Bueller?; 8/20/20, 7:55 AM
D.D. Driver said...: Lots to criticize Biden about, but not pro gay enough isn't one of them. Joe went off script and forced Obama to come out in favor of gay marriage.; 8/20/20, 8:05 AM
Kevin said...: Trump needs to be re-elected just to keep putting Grenell in positions to expose more wrongdoing.; 8/20/20, 8:23 AM
Ken B said...: Trump is the only president who was pro gay marriage before being elected.; 8/20/20, 8:25 AM
Lyle Smith said...: Grenell could be President. Wouldn't that be something.; 8/20/20, 8:44 AM
Amadeus 48 said...: Once again, JAORE at 7:50 knocks the cover off the ball.; 8/20/20, 9:18 AM
Birkel said...: D.D. Driver is bad at his job.
Can you ask management to send us a better Moby?; 8/20/20, 10:03 AM
Joe Smith said...: @Lyle Smith

I've read a lot of Grenell's twitter stuff and followed what he was doing as ambassador and Intelligence chief.

The guy is smart and loyal. I would love someone like him to run for president. He would do extremely well with Trump voters.; 8/20/20, 10:20 AM
J. Farmer said...: I have no issue with Trump’s “LGBT record,” but Grenell is a clueless yes-man and a mindless hawk. His ambassadorship was embarrassing.; 8/20/20, 10:24 AM
rcocean said...: LOL. I don't think Trump gives a damn about Gay or not Gay. And I think he was genuinely puzzled over the whole Transgender thing. But ultimately, if it makes 'em happy to have Gay marriage or use women's bathrooms, Why Not?

His default position is to support minorities: racial or sexual. Now, can we talk about Foreign policy, the economy, and immigration?; 8/20/20, 10:28 AM
rcocean said...: Biden used to be against Gay Marriage, but then flipped when it became popular. Because Joe cares.; 8/20/20, 10:29 AM
Drago said...: D. D. Driver: "Joe went off script and forced Obama to come out in favor of gay marriage."

You can't really believe that.

Joe Biden purposely "went off script" so the dems could use it as a trial balloon before figuring out if it was "safe enough" for obambi to go along with it and say oh, right. Me too!

Joe was sent out on a specific political mission to draw sniper fire and see if he could make it to the "other side".

Because, after all, if it all failed it would have been just "Joe being Joe" and it would have been forgotten.; 8/20/20, 11:01 AM
rhhardin said...: Some baseball announcer got fired for a hot mike, returning from break "the *** capital of the world." Armstrong and Getty replayed the clip but bleeped the word, which was so bad, even though it's the important thing in the story, you can't hear.

It's the cancel and bleep culture.; 8/20/20, 12:04 PM
n.n said...: Grenell could be President. Wouldn't that be something.

why would you create a list of people categorizing them by irrelevant characterizations for a job?

Yes, diversity dogma normalizes adversity.

I’m stronger after cancer. my dog runs my life. imperfect follower of Christ.

He begins with a good character. Presumably, not political congruence ("=") or selective exclusion.; 8/20/20, 12:06 PM
Jim at said...: If he cared about or supported the LGBTQ community at all, he wouldn't have picked Mike Pence as his running mate.

There's a difference between caring about a group of people, and openly pandering to their every whim at the expense of the other 98 percent of the population.; 8/20/20, 1:15 PM
Earnest Prole said...: For what it's worth, Trump is without a doubt the most fabulous president America's ever had.; 8/20/20, 2:09 PM
Nichevo said...: Howard said...

What makes you say that? Did his dick taste like shit?; 8/20/20, 2:16 PM
Howard said...: You people put in your own negative thoughts and shame onto my cruelly neutral statement. Perhaps I should have put in NTTAWWT.; 8/20/20, 2:22 PM
Howard said...: Nichevo's always constipated. More fiber my friend.; 8/20/20, 2:23 PM
Nichevo said...: Not so, but in general, Howard, I would never deny that you know your shit.; 8/20/20, 7:32 PM
