    Not denying or agreeing, don't know, but what is your evidence to substantiate this claim. Links appreciated.

    Cool an all in one post, immigrants, immigrant kids, Obama, Trump and insurrectionists. Has to be some kind of record.

    He's a massive phony who drew the line at participating in a coup to overthrow our democracy. Some people seem to think that makes him a hero.

    Not really a hero. I'll save that for cops and soldiers and teachers and nurses and first responders. He is however creating the cracks many of us have hoped for and he is hopefully redeeming himself in the eyes of those of us who once had him high on our list.

    Migrants sent to NYC amid homeless shelter crisis despite no ties (nypost.com)

    Migrants sent to NYC amid homeless shelter crisis have no local ties, were directed here by Biden admin
    Outside a city Department of Homeless Services intake center in The Bronx, Veronica Prada, 28, said Wednesday that she, her husband and their four kids left their native Venezuela on April 26 and crossed the US-Mexico border into San Antonio, Texas, on July 11.

    They were greeted by Border Patrol agents who took them and other migrants to a processing facility where immigration officials gave the family information on how to apply for asylum and an Aug. 23 appointment with an immigration lawyer in The Bronx, although Prada told The Post she and her husband didn’t ask to go to New York.

    On Tuesday, Adams said more than 2,800 asylum-seeking migrants entered the city’s shelter system in recent weeks and he called on Biden to send “additional resources immediately” to help the city “as we serve both a rapidly growing shelter population and new clients who are seeking asylum.”

    To my knowledge Pence has not formally endorsed legislation like the Life at Conception Act.

    However, he plainly said everyone “must not rest” until it is banned in all 50 states. Assuming he isn’t a moron, there is exactly one way for that to happen.

    He’s running for POTUS. He’ll never be in Congress again. So the pertinent question is, as POTUS does he sign the LAC after R’s retake Congress? That answer seems pretty obvious, IMO.

    Sorry, been working all day. Pence definitely wants a nation-wide abortion ban. As for my claim that he's a Christian nationalist? Just my opinion based on his fundamentalist Christian views. I have no doubt that as president he would seek to further erode the boundary between church and state. He'll never be president, so that's moot.

    These days, conservative means “good”, righteous, loyal to the cause, etc. It has very little meaning in terms of actual policy or even ideology. As a general rule Republicans view themselves and aspire to be “conservative” even though it really has no substantive meaning. It is kind of bizarre really.

    Pence has been among the most overtly religiously politically conservative. He very much against gay rights in Indiana. It is known that he will not have a meeting with another woman by herself. It would be utterly shocking to me if he didn’t support the most stringent abortion ban laws possible.

    I finally figured NWO must mean new world order. I've heard the phrase, but what does that mean exactly?

    Then you haven't watched the OVERWHELMING evidence produced by the January 6 Committee, almost exclusively by people closest to Trump, former supporters. The man attacked our democracy and nearly precipitated a constitutional crisis not seen since the Civil War, and you have nothing negative to say? That's simply astonishing.

    I mean as a policy, I rarely have closed door meetings with anyone...especially women by myself. The exception is my assistant manager who is my right hand person in my office. All others are open door or in the presence of my aforementioned assistant manager. Are you not aware of the world we live in?

    People in leadership positions are targets and bosses have to upset people from time to time.
    Best to not put 9nes self in he said/she said situations or he said he said for that matter.

    No idea how that translates into high level government, but many organizations require it now.

    Its HR 101 these days.

    So you won’t meet with women at work by themselves - in the 21st century?

    This isn’t about threats of sexual harassment. This is what it is about:

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...-alone-with-other-women-and-were-all-shocked/


    During his 12 years in Congress, Pence had rules to avoid any infidelity temptations, or even rumors of impropriety. Those included requiring that any aide who had to work late to assist him be male, never dining alone with a woman other than his wife, and not attending an event where alcohol is served unless Karen was there.
    In a 2002 interview with The Hill, Pence called it, “building a zone around your marriage.”
    “If there's alcohol being served and people are being loose, I want to have the best-looking brunette in the room standing next to me,” Pence said.

    Yeah, Pence’s reasoning is Biblical babble. He’s a modern day crusader, full stop. This is why all the fawning over him for doing nothing more than he was required to do is lunacy.

    Again, he literally consulted his own counsel to see if doing the unthinkable was actually an option. And if his counsel had been an Eastman type? Buh-bye “ethics.”

    I don’t have one on ones with students, female or otherwise. But I have one on one meetings with female colleagues weekly. My department head, my AP, and my principal are all women. It’d be ridiculous not to. It’s not this difficult.
