Vice President Mike Pence addressed the crowds at the March for Life in Washington, D.C.

HOW BIG WERE THEY?

Robby Soave|1.27.17 @ 4:30PM|#

The crowds or Trump's hands?

Fist of Etiquette|1.27.17 @ 4:32PM|#

Dang it. I should have thought to copy that as my comment for the hands thing, too.

LynchPin1477|1.27.17 @ 4:32PM|#

I think his, um, hands grow along with the crowd size.

So big that when they sit around the White House...

Is the White House editing photos of President Trump to make his hands look bigger?

They edited everything else to look smaller.

Tonio|1.27.17 @ 4:31PM|#

So, the SJW warriors (on derpbook) are declaring victory over that evil President Trump. They are claiming credit for the restoration of the EPA climate change pages; behold the might of their tweets and posts.

And while it is possible they are right, it is also possible that the pages were indeed taken down temporarily while the incoming administration got a handle on things. Or an impressive example of muscle-flexing by the incoming administration.

You have to admire whatever Alinskyite is pulling their strings behind the scenese. Shrieking about those pages was a win-win. They stay down and it continues to stoke outrage; they go back up and the progs claim victory.

They won the fight.... over a webpage?

Reminds me of the loony LaRouche-ites that had some office near my work, and I'd see them in the coffee shop during the GWB administration. One guy tells me, "did you hear about Wolfowitz leaving? That was us!"

The poor things. You just know they had a new set of lyrics all set to go for the "Mmm Mmm Mmm Barack Hussein Obama" song for Hillary. And then that bastard Trump fucked everything up!

It would be funny to have a song contest; what would the lyrics to "Mmm Mmm Mmm Hillary Rodham Clinton" have been?

SimonD|1.27.17 @ 7:26PM|#

I don't know what the lyrics would be, but Deathtongue would have to perform it.

Stunning Russian model unveils ingenious method for checking if boobs are real or fake

Svetlana Bilyalova, who has more than 4.6million followers, uses two iPhones for her scientific inspection.

Her foolproof idea is all about what happens when you turn off the lights.

In her video, which has been watched more than 2.2million times, Svet explains what is going to happen.

Speaking to the camera she says: "Today I will demonstrate to you my new, revolutionary scientific discovery."

She then grabs two iPhones - although I'm sure any phone with a torch would work equally as well.

As Svetlana shows on her two volunteers - if the boobs are fake they will glow red when the lights are turned out.

If they are natural - they will not glow at all.

It's the Mirror. "Torch" is the British term for a flashlight.

Ex-Christian from Duggar cult explains why we should be more afraid of Mike Pence than Trump – Raw Story

Right-wing Christians have been plotting their takeover of the U.S. government for nearly 50 years and the rise of Donald Trump and his evangelical sidekick, Mike Pence, have finally set up the tragedy playing out right now.

Kieryn Darkwater is a transgender former evangelical Christofascist who grew up in the Quiverfull movement and uses they as a personal pronoun, wrote about their experience as a homeschooled right-wing political activist for the website Autostraddle.

I watched the Tea Party takeover and was surprised no one saw it coming, Darkwater wrote. After all, this was part of the plan. Trump being elected is also part of the plan, although not Trump specifically; the true goal is Pence.

Evangelical conservatives started taking over local Republican groups in the 1970s and setting up right-wing advocacy groups to push their agenda into the mainstream which, of course, is the standard form political activism while all along training their children in home schools and church groups to fight in the culture wars.

Its a loose and ambiguous term that basically means anything or anyone that doesnt align with this very specific view of Christianity must not be allowed to continue, Darkwater wrote.

The Christian right hopes to overturn court decisions protecting reproductive rights and non-discrimination on race, and Darkwater warned that these religious extremists intend to amend the U.S. Constitution to legalize discrimination against women, people of color and LGBT people .

The only way to do this is to infiltrate the government, Darkwater wrote, recalling the training and activism they took part in as a teenager.

We were sneaky and polite Trojan horses, Darkwater wrote. We had an agenda. Yes, even as 15-year-olds.

Right-wing Christians have wanted someone like Pence in the White House for years, but a hardline religious conservative hasnt even been able to win the GOP primary until Trump emerged as a blank slate with no real principles beyond his own self-aggrandizement.

They know Trump is easily manipulated and will change his mind with the wind if it makes him feel more powerful and famous, Darkwater wrote. Trump couldnt care less about policy, a fact hes made quite obvious. The Right has given a tyrant power and fame; he will do whatever they want him to do in order to keep it.

With Trump apparently willing to sign anything Pence and congressional Republicans hand him, Darkwater wrote, right-wing Christians see an opportunity to finally take over the U.S. government with an army of homeschooled religious extremists.

Those of us who didnt leave the far Right are being elected to federal positions or are taking over states and cities, Darkwater wrote. With Pence in office, even the reasonable-seeming incumbents who have been and are still at the mercy of the Tea Party are growing more bold in their attempts to further the Christofascist agenda: To Take Back The Country For Christ.

OOPS! Vox’s attempt to slam Mike Pence over his speech at #MarchForLife BACKFIRES – Twitchy

Its so cute when Vox tries to passive aggressively pretend taxpayers dont pay for abortion. And by cute we mean pathetic, sad and weak. Sure, protect that whole narrative that Planned Parenthood isnt using fungible monies to pay for abortion of course the only people who believe you support Planned Parenthood anyway.

Sane, thinking people actually know better.

But nice try, Vox.

This is good news for women who actually need and want health care. Women deserve better than an abortion mill pretending to be a care provider.

Cmon, if the funds are necessary and you could lose them over abortion, maybe stop performing abortions? Seriously.

Not to mention that government monies (which are fungible, thats the key) should come nowhere NEAR abortion if someone wants to have one, they can pay for it. Keeps the governent out of their uterus, right?

Makes sense.

Yes, Pence is against abortion. Duh.

She says this like its a bad thing?

Hey Democrats, if you wantchange win an election.

Rememberthat dude saying this as well

Vice President Mike Pence to join March for Life – Chicago Tribune

Vice President Mike Pence will join Friday's March for Life, a move from the White House considered historic by march organizers.

President Ronald Reagan made a video for the march in 1988 and President George W. Bush called in to the march in 2008, but no president or vice president has spoken at the march before, according to a march spokeswoman.

Kellyanne Conway, Trump's senior counselor, will also speak at the march.

March organizers say they expect tens of thousands of people to march at the event that annually draws activists from across the country. This year, organizers believe they will see a surge of energy with the ascension of a president who is expected to move forward on antiabortion policies, including defunding Planned Parenthood and appointing an antiabortion Supreme Court justice.

Pence, who has called himself an "evangelical Catholic," has long been a hero among antiabortion activists and as governor of Indiana signed what was considered some of the strictest laws on abortion.

Ahead of the election, activists were divided over whether to openly support Trump, who they believed was more appealing than Hillary Clinton. Activists were especially thrilled by his selection of Pence, who signed a law that banned abortions based on gender or disability.

During the vice-presidential debate in October, Pence brought up his opposition to abortion by paraphrasing the biblical verse Jeremiah 1:5: "Before you were formed in the womb, I knew you."

During an interview with ABC News' David Muir that aired Wednesday night, President Donald Trump voiced concerns that the press doesn't cover the March for Life.

"You're going to have a lot of people coming on Friday," Trump said. "And I will say this, and I didn't realize this. But I was told you will have a very large crowd of people. I don't know as large or larger. Some people said it will be larger, pro-life people, and they say the press doesn't cover them."

The Washington Post has covered the March for Life every year for the past decade, according to archives.
