Maybe Kamala Harris may be better... She has a load of qualifications. Maybe California needs to deliver a candidate.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

Seems like formal "qualifications" aren't important for the most important positions in a state (i.e. Head of state or minister)Tamsin (Lost Girl): "I am the Harbinger of Death. I arrive on winds of blessed air. Air that you no longer deserve."

Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama (born January 17, 1964) is an American lawyer, writer, and First Lady of the United States. She is married to the 44th and current President of the United States, Barack Obama, and is the first African-American First Lady. Raised on the South Side of Chicago, Illinois, Obama is a graduate of Princeton University and Harvard Law School, and spent her early legal career working at the law firm Sidley Austin, where she met her husband"I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic. We should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration." - Hillary Clinton, 2003

But Kamala Harris is one to watch out for. She will give Republicans pure hell in the Congress.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night.

Well obviously, experience as an elected official isn't necessary to get people to vote for you.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

Originally posted by giblets View PostDoubtful. Trump doesn't seem to give a crap about gays or transgenders.

And even if the Supreme Court became anti-LGBT, that wouldn't cause DADT to get reinstated, and plenty of states would now be willing to vote in favor of legalizing gay marriage, so at least some progress would remain.
Wishful thinking though. Social conservatives will see this as an opening. Same sex marriage is done at the federal level. Its over. Trump is about as socially conservative as Ted Cruz plus he had that stupid Pence *******.
BTW, several of those other justices are getting up there in age.

Originally posted by giblets View PostThey have to either get control of the Supreme Court (won't happen unless a liberal justice dies/retires in the next 4 years) or get past a Democratic filibuster to do anything to same sex marriage at the federal level. Worst Trump could do for the LGBT is repeal some executive orders Obama issued.
The best I can hope for is a massive screw up by the GOP and Trump (likely) and retribution in 2018 midterms with Democrats regaining control (maybe).
This sets back minorities in this country by decades. Trumps victory speech was a ****ing joke.
