Over the past week, we have seen two responses from the Trump administration to the spike in anti-Semitism that has accompanied Donald Trump’s rise to power.

One was presidential: moving and admirable.

The other was by the president ...

1. They should both act more vice-presidential...

... and disappear.

2. A powerful piece.

A good read.

3. Pence is merely the better actor...

His past positions reveal his true intentions. The man is a Dominionist through and through and he wishes for nothing more than a Theocratic United States. He is currently playing the game because he knows he is on the cusp of the presidency, a position which he knows in his heart he would NEVER have been elected to serve. Pence is playing the role of the "sane conservative" and I give him credit for playing it well. I told friends in the months leading up to the inauguration that we must keep our eyes on Pence, because I believed that the right wanted him, or at least someone like him, in the Presidency to begin with. Trump is an authoritarian and a fucktard, but Pence brings his own level of RWNJ ideals to the table. We, on the left, dismiss that to our own peril.

4. i was watching that and thought it's another reason Pence should be President

Trump isn't better than Pence on any issue.

but Pence can at least get the basic things done. and without all the other crap like the stupid tweets we can focus on the differences and go after him on the issues.

5. Well, Trump has the vice part down pat...

he's still working on the presidential part of it.
