Well I hope he releases the full uncut version. From everything I have seen it looks pretty damning, but then again skillful video editing can do some crazy things.

Remember, when a grand jury in TEXAS convened to try to charge Planned Parenthood over the O'Keefe videos, they ended up instead charging O'Keefe for fraud. The man's a fucking idiot. We honestly could put up a thread on him along with about 50% of Breitbart.

He's just getting fussy over trump bashing the gays. He's really been flailing around lately.

Has Trump bashed the gays? I know his followers are not sympathetic to the gay community (or come up with various deflections to "state rights") but I'm not aware if Trump himself has said anything.

Didn't after that attack in flordia he said something about protecting lgbt people? I thought the republicans were getting pissy at him for not going after the gays as hard as they would like.

I searched it up, he tried turning the gay community against the Muslim/Middle Eastern community by saying that we need to kick out Muslims to protect our gays.

And then he and Marco Rubio headed to Orlando for an anti-LGBT rally.

Senator Marco Rubio and Republican nominee Donald Trump are set to attend events in Orlando for conservative pastors, put on by some of the country’s most radical anti-gay groups. The gathering comes two months after the Pulse nightclub shooting, in which 49 members and allies of the LGBTQ community were killed.

With both Trump and Rubio in the midst of heated campaigns, the events reflect the prominence and political sway that anti-gay religious conservatives still hold within the Republican Party, despite calls by some party leaders for more tolerance. For LGBTQ advocates, however, the candidates' decisions to speak to these groups wipes away the thin veneer of tolerance that the two Republicans have recently tried to construct and instead affirms their allegiance to the religious right.

The Florida Renewal Project, an affiliate of the American Renewal Project, holds its “Rediscovering God in America” event this Thursday and Friday. Rubio headlines a Thursday gathering. Donald Trump addresses the American Renewal Project’s private “Pastors and Pews” on Friday, which is the two-month anniversary of the Pulse shooting, to discuss how he hopes to champion the Christian conservative agenda.

The GOP platform itself calls for overturning Oberfell and allowing parents to put their children through "conversion therapy". Plus Trump wants to put another "great" justice like Scalia on the bench. The same mong who said torture was OK because it was for interrogation and not punishment, and who's statements on record are fucking legendary in the retardation.
Lawrence v. Texas said:
"Suppose all the States had laws against flagpole sitting at one time, you know, there was a time when it was a popular thing and probably annoyed a lot of communities, and then almost all of them repealed those laws," Scalia asked the attorney fighting the Texas law. "Does that make flagpole sitting a fundamental right?"

his dissenting argument on the case said:
"Many Americans do not want persons who openly engage in homosexual conduct as partners in their business, as scoutmasters for their children, as teachers in their children's schools, or as boarders in their home," he wrote. "They view this as protecting themselves and their families from a lifestyle that they believe to be immoral and destructive."

In the same dissent, Scalia tried to argue that moral disapproval of gay sex
"undeniably seeks to further the belief of its citizens that certain forms of sexual behavior are 'immoral and unacceptable like fornication, bigamy, adultery, adult incest, bestiality, and obscenity prostitution and child pornography"
Click to expand...
I'm pretty sure consent has something to do with most of those that are obviously crimes.

Lawrence v Texas struck down state sodemy laws that could allow police to arrest gay people.
Romer v Evans said:
"Of course it is our moral heritage that one should not hate any human being or class of human beings. But I had thought that one could consider certain conduct reprehensible—murder, for example, or polygamy, or cruelty to animals—and could exhibit even 'animus' toward such conduct. Surely that is the only sort of 'animus' at issue here: moral disapproval of homosexual conduct"

He goes farther by equating two gay people as roommates by arguing that it sinply
"prohibits special treatment of homosexuals, and nothing more. It would prevent the State or any municipality from making death benefit payments to the 'life partner' of a homosexual when it does not make such payments to the long time roommate of a nonhomosexual employee."
Click to expand...
This special treatment Scalia was worried about? Not being fired or denied a job due to sexual orientation. The dumb dago crafted this analogy in his take on the ruling
"A job interviewer may refuse to offer a job because the applicant is a Republican; because he is an adulterer; because he went to the wrong prep school or belongs to the wrong country club; because he eats snails; because he is a womanizer; because she wears real animal fur; or even because he hates the Chicago Cubs."

Being a queer ≠Being a Cubs fan
One is a possible predisposition a person can't change, the other is being a deviant with bad taste.

Romer v Evans struck down a Colorado law that allowed the state to prohibit local laws favoring gays, i.e. self governing

Oh yeah, I can imagine that the treatment of the Log Cabin Republicans, and this shit is gonna have the gays voting along the Republican party on the ballot.

In essence, while Trump is against same-sex marriage, he doesn't seem to to be as utterly batshit as most of the former Republican candidates are on the subject.

Except O'Keef is a known liar. He once tried to lure a CNN correspondent to a boat full of condoms, fuzzy handcuffs and sex toys as a 'prank'. His ACORN video was later discredited, and he was directly on Andy's payroll at Breitbart AND settled a $100K lawsuit to a member of ACORN.

Of course the Trump supporters will eat this up without question and declare the Clinton presidency illegitimate, just like many of them still believe Obama was born in Kenya.

It will never end. After this it'll be the Racist Meme vs Politicon 2000.

What's great is watching it leak down to local politics level, when your choices for town council are an inbred hick, or an even dumber inbred hick, or the cat someone put as a joke ballot. And they instead yell about Trump v Clinton instead of, ya know, local shit.

Hey guys, the president in't going to decide if we do something about the vacant alley that smells like cat pee right in the middle of what barely constitutes "downtown". That's your gig.

Most voters will make their picks for president on November 8, but our readers have already made their choice. Hillary Clinton won this year’s Scholastic Student Vote.

1476740753609.jpg

The Democratic candidate for president received 52 percent of the student votes, while her main challenger, Republican Donald Trump, received 35 percent. The remaining 13 percent was split among dozens of write-in candidates.

The person with the third most votes was Gary Johnson of the Libertarian Party, who received about 2 percent. Not far behind were Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, who had challenged Clinton for the Democratic nomination (the act of being formally chosen as a candidate for a job or position), and Green Party candidate Jill Stein. About 153,000 students nationwide, from kindergarten through grade 12, voted online or by mail-in paper ballot.

Since 1940, the results of the student vote have usually mirrored the outcome of the presidential election. In fact, Scholastic readers have been wrong only twice. In 1948, kids picked Thomas E. Dewey over President Harry S. Truman. And in 1960, more students voted for Richard M. Nixon than for the eventual president, John F. Kennedy.

Will the student voters be right again? Find out on November 8!
