"Asked whether private companies should be able to fire employees simply because they’re gay, Trump told “Meet The Press” host Chuck Todd on Sunday that he didn’t think sexual orientation “should be a reason” for letting workers go."

“[A]mending the Civil Rights Act would grant the same protection to gay people that we give to other Americans – it’s only fair,” Trump told The Advocate in February, 2000. In the same interview, Trump said he favored “a very strong domestic-partnership law” that guaranteed same-sex couples equal legal rights as married, heterosexual couples. "

Because if it's one thing we learned this campaign season, it's that trump's word is his bond. amirite?

You are right if you want to be a hypocrite on this topic sure. You can't cherry pick where you want to take Trump at face value and where you don't just to fit your argument

BreakYaNeck gets Trump. He's an authoritarian. He's not all churchy.

I mean you guys have been 100% wrong on what would happen in this election along with 100% of the media. You will be wrong about this too (hopefully for all of us)

When I say Trump is an authoritarian I don't necessarily mean he's going to murder 6 million Jews. He wants to bust a bunch of heads and have the National Guard murder a few hippies. FBI murder a few BLM activists. Nixonian. Are you hoping that doesn't happen? Because it kinda seems like that's what you are hoping for.

No of course not. Trump isn't going to do any of these things.

No, David Clarke or Joe Arpaio will.

I thought you were just calling for the police to put down protest already? I assume you mean hundreds of police in lines with riot gear, batons, tear gas, military vehicles?

Sure you may not point to a specific hippy and say I want his head busted open, but that's what will happen. And you might think it's justice and they deserve it for jumping on a police car, but I can tell you from experience that generally the people who jump on police cars (tiny minority) all run away and the peaceful protesters (vast majority) who face the police are the ones who get their heads busted.

Be a hypocrite? The president-elect is a spineless hack who has no moral compass and makes things up as he goes.

We saw several times on the campaign trail that trump seemed as surprised as anybody at some of the words and sentences that came out of his mouth. For some it was entertaining, the ultimate reality TV show ("grab some popcorn honey"). But now his words, actions and personality are going to fk us. You know why? Because he's the ****ing POTUS.

He's not a critical thinking person. He doesn't read books. He lacks curiousity. Reports are he spends evenings alone on one floor of his penthouse.

This is the clown some of you voted for. Don't you get it? You f'd us (just like in 2000 -- and we haven't recovered from that misstep and may never). Now you've done it again and we're f'd for real this time. Like in 10 years the world / world order won't be recognizable.

Do us all a favor and own up to your vote and your decision in 10 years. Don't run away from what you unleashed.

Well its not like the peaceful protesters are attempting to stop them. They are encouraging it from being out there chanting and yelling with them.

It also isnt peaceful when you are literally blocking major highways preventing people from getting to work (happened very close to me last night on a road I travel weekly). That is negatively impacting peoples lives, that isnt peaceful


You guys arent even giving Trump any chance whatsoever and that is just sad

You are directly contradicting those police officers you so love.

Yes absolutely a hypocrite. You guys live in this bubble where you think everyone in the USA thought Obama was/is a good president. Half the country think he destroyed the country. But this doesnt agree with your views so therefore we are all idiots.

I will own up to voting for Trump but what am I owning up to exactly? He isn't even president yet and has not done a thing. No one knows if he is going to be a good or bad president. It is all your opinion which you are entitled to unlike us Republicans who are not entitled to opinions.

Also Clinton has flip flopped her views far more than Trump ever has.

In the words of your beloved Obama, "She will say anything and change nothing"

you don't get it do you

Blocking a freeway is not unpeaceful. That's ridiculous.

One time I stopped a complete stranger from throwing a big chunk of concrete, like half a concrete paver, at a cop.

You can say that one march on Washington by MLK or that one thing you saw in Ghandi was ok all you want, but you have disdain for political protest. Well, except maybe you think whatever those people did seizing the office in Oregon was ok.

2008 to 2016 the country is destroyed? How?

I get it completely, you dont. Half of America doesnt believe in this Trump hate rhetoric that you so desire to push. He ran a campaign on making america great again. Clinton ran a campaign on how horrible of a person Trump is. Geez I wonder why people voted the way they did.

You're the only one talking about Hillary. I think a lot of people here agree that she campaigned badly and was a bad choice.

So you are ok with negatively impacting peoples lives causing them to not be late to work, etc? Doesn't sound very peaceful to me. Its not like these people have to get to work or anything but some of us do

You also missed the point where half of america doesnt believe in the hate rhetoric and that is only in your minds

That's just not what peaceful means. Use a different word if you want, but you can't just change the definition of peaceful.

That a nice way of pivoting around my question. Did you learn that from Hillary?

The hate rhetoric or un-PC rhetoric or however nicely you want to put it, is one of many problems with Trump. You don't care about what he said being PC or not any more than if it were Bill Burr or whoever. Fine.

That doesn't mean the economy is a disaster. It's much better than it was 8 years ago.

It doesn't mean tax cuts for the rich are going to help the middle class. They won't.

It doesn't mean saying nice things to cops while you fight unions will help them. It won't.

It doesn't mean renegotiating NAFTA is going to bring millions of high paying factory jobs back to the rust belt. It won't.

You may personally like Trump better than Clinton, but he's a much much worse choice for the country in terms of that actual decisions that a President makes as opposed to talking in the way you prefer.

It's not pivoting around anything. You stop saying the non-violent traffic blocking protests aren't peaceful. That's stupid.

You want to call people inconsiderate, fine. It is pretty inconsiderate. It's not not peaceful.

Like I said before these are your opinions which you are entitled too. I dont think the economy is in good shape now, the stock market is incredibly inflated, health care is a joke, can go on and on and on. Half the country disagrees with you guys.
