The Nuclear Winter Olympics, Day 1, Part 2: Also Part 2 of What Trumpies Voted For

Let's talk the Second Asshole In Chief here...

Mike Pence, Vice-President of the United States, head of the American delegation to last night's Opening Ceremonies...

This Dominionist fuck has already committed two major affronts, because of his homophobia and extreme right-wing and America First beliefs, against these Games..

• In the days leading up to the Games, a conflict erupted between Pence and gay American Olympian Adam Rippon, as Gawker site Splinter reported.  Two days before the Opening Ceremony, it was announced Rippon refused to meet with Vice President Pence.

Two flailing Tweets later, almost as if Pence were attempting to read from a script and fake support for athletes such as Rippon, when we all know that Vladdie Putin Lite would gladly deny Rippon far more than just the opportunity to compete for the country if he were given the chance.

And Rippon's mother isn't buying it either.  As Splinter reported, Kelly Rippon said the following about Pence and more "FAKE N00Z!!!111!!" bleating from the White Straight Right on CNN:

"I just think that that — that when people keep saying that word “fake news” over and over again, it implies that you can do things and you can never be held accountable for them because you just say that it’s fake. That repetition of that term, I don’t think, is good."

Chris Cuomo, who interviewed Mrs. Rippon, brought up the facade of "religious freedom" as a means to oppose LGBT people by Putin Lite, and Kelly wasn't having any of that either:

"…Protection for equal rights for people isn’t to give any group or marginalized community an advantage. It’s to try and level the playing field. And I think that, you know, as a mom or as a citizen or just as a human being, we don’t want to see anyone be treated, guilted or shamed into feeling that they’re less than who they actually are."

• And as if that weren't bad enough, Mike Pence made a COMPLETE ASS OF HIMSELF at the Opening Ceremony this morning (US time)...

Splinter again:  As I did in an earlier catch-all post, one of the most poignant moments of the Opening Ceremony was the unified Korean team marching in under a unified Korean flag.

Every dignitary in the VIP box saluted this move.

Except for Mr. America First, Vice President Mike Pence and Second Lady Karen.

You.

FUCKING.

ASSHOLES.

I'll say it, and it's the main reason I believe something's going down in the next two weeks (and why I title the posts for these Games as I do):  I believe Trump, Pence, and Putin would gladly work together for an attack on these Games to support the agenda the three of them, together, believe...

The double-standard is frightening, and I would have to begin to wonder if, between non-conciliatory acts such as this and the Nassar situation, if an OAU team would happen in two years in Tokyo...
