Mike Pence: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)

[@sweetlysarcastic-d6p]

John Oliver's wife is a veteran...saying "women in the military" with that much bemused scepticism is bound to aggravate him and honestly most other people but for him its personal

I believe she was an army medic in iraq or iran, anyways she’s a badass

[@SG3Gunner]

@jack Maher not all men are physically capable either. A person over six feet will run faster with greater ease than someone who is half a foot shorter, no matter the sex. And there have been more recent studies that show closer integration at squad levels helps with a 'them and us' problem. Women can be incredible muti-taskers and are technically proficient. Women are often seen as less threatening to a local if approached by a heavily armed squad on patrol which has proven invaluable in forging a connection with local populations on overseas duties. A female army medic won the Military Cross for treating a fellow soldier while under fire for TWENTY minutes!! I have served with some amazing women and would do so again, any time any where.

[@Iamnotabug]

If its just physical req.s why dont we put in the phys req of any task in the military and let anyone who can do it and is willing to do, just do it. Phys reqs. are a dumbass argument bc guess what there are women who meet those reqs.

Color me surprised as well, but a recent survey showed that a *large* minority of *young* evangelicals believe gay people should have equal rights, and not be discriminated against. A smaller number, but not insignificant, don't have a problem with gay marriage. Apparently, the surrounding secular culture, and the newfound visibility of the LGBTQ+ community has changed views substantially in the church, in just the last 20 years. I think you'd get another response on the subject of trans people, but there's time to fix their broken views there, too. It'll just take longer. Even Trump had always historically been supportive of gay rights, at least before he became President. But he's always been a rather open transphobe.

I get **the feeling** it is too just from having lived the entirety of my life in the South and having noticed a pretty subtle, yet substantial shift from the 90's->now where the people I was acquainted with who both qualified for a "somewhat backwards" label & also spoke freely around me pretty much completely abandoning a previously commonplace rhetoric drenched with active contempt for all things conceivably gay. That inner bigotry still probably remains, sure, but I think it's pretty telling that now anytime I've been around anyone who uses "offensive slurs" and/or says "gay" as an insult does it in a way that's closer to how Louis CK uses those words & not attached to any actual denouncing of literal homosexuality/etc. Progress happens slowly & I'm more than happy if mere "tolerance" universally takes hold here in a relatively short timeframe, which people way more liberal than me can't wrap their minds around and throw fits over the suggestion. 🙄

[@mikotomisaka8714]

@@willsofer3679 And why should that be surprising? Jesus taught us to love everyone, not just people who didn't agree with us. He ate with tax collectors and sinners. Those who have treated Gay people with disrespect are Christian in name only and they still don't know it, because they forgot that love is the founding principle of Christianity. Plus it should be noted that the one verse that supposedly discourages homosexuality in the bible was MISTRANSLATED purposely by homophobes. The original translation of that exact verse was specifically talking about pedophiles, not gay people. You also need to consider the fact that many bigots in the past have purposely misconstrued and altered the bible for their own agenda. I'm a lesbian and I'm a Christian, and I'm telling you right now, the bad name Christianity has in the modern era is mostly due to those selfish jerks who feel like only they can determine what Jesus wants by their own power.

It's great that your parents were so supportive! In a perfect world being lgbtq or not would be like the way you type on your phone, if you think about it. Everyone does it like they want to, nobody tells or asks how you do it, I'm somewhat sure that nobody cares too much about how other people type, and I'm reasonably sure that nobody ever lost their life for how they typed on their phone. In short: Being lgbtq shouldn't be something you have to give special attention to; it shouldn't even be worth mentioning outside of dating or when talking to friends/family about it.

Not sure why you would laugh at the sales stats, obviously a popular entertainment figure will sell a better book than a low energy unknown politician like pence. I would consider myself a conservative, but JO is still much more funny and entertaining to me than pence. So I guess you can laugh at that fact too because it's the same comparison? Kind of common sense. But let's be honest...john is just a plucky brit that makes yt videos, and pence is actually in charge of something. If I was a resentful little asshole I guess I would laugh about that, but I'm not.

[@EchoJ]

evan strain One could argue Mike Pence has better things to do than to keep propping up anti-LGBT+ hatemongers, but clearly his VP position isn’t keeping him busy enough. Oh, and The VPOTUS did not write the _Marlon Bundo_ book(s); his daughter, Charlotte, did. As background, one of her majors at DePaul University was Digital Cinema (telling motion picture stories through use of digital technology) and the other was English. She works at a production company. To think she (and her mom/2nd Lady, who provides the illustrations) released this book *_not_*_ to make money or to _*_not_*_ provide entertainment_ is curiously asinine. Also, Oliver’s book - besides his cheeky, “piss off Pence” reason - has the additional intent of helping to fund charities, while I see no such admirable disclaimer on Ms. Pence’s book’s product detail page on amazon.com. So, despite Oliver’s “entertainment” team clearly taking a tongue-in-cheek shot at the VP, at least they’re doing something worthwhile with 100% of their book’s proceeds.

Răzvan Rădoiu / The Pepsi and Coke analogy is perfect. The analogy here is preferring to date men (as a man, gay) and preferring to date women (as a man, straight). One of your loved ones could prefer Pepsi when you yourself prefer Coke, but it still has nothing to do with you. The only reason you're okay with someone liking Pepsi is because a book written by men in the Middle East tells you that a man in the sky says it's "wrong."

I work in a kindergarten in Germany and brought the Better Bundo Book with me. The kids immediately loved it and keep asking me to read it to them. Some were confused how a boy could want to marry a boy. So we talked about different kinds of love and how they are all love. And they had the sweetest responds (Love is like favourite food. Because I am happy eating Watermelon and thats why I love Watermelon). The book also seems to resonate with some of the kids. Two of "my" children can be on the other side of the room and play. The second they hear a Marlon Bundo phrase they drop whatever they are doing and listen. And when we elected the "Gruppensprecher" (the child representing the group) they remembered the election in the Book. So well done! The book is a treasure and we love it! :)

My best friend since I was 7 is gay. His dad freaked out and hit him when he found gay porn on the computer and his dad finally came around but it took his whole childhood until he was 17-18. I never truly had a problem with gay people but when I was 13 a close family member suspected I was gay because of my best friend, and told me “all gay people should die”. It’s sad because looking back, what if I ended up being gay- I might’ve been disowned- at least for my teenage years- which would’ve been traumatizing. And so I repeated to my gay friend as a 13 year old “all gay people should die”. And man did I get a talking to. 2003 was a different time and I was told at a young age that it was bad, and yet my best friend was gay and he was one of the best people I’ve ever known. So glad I didn’t end up being uncomfortable with my sexuality- because I think that’s where all the uncomfortableness comes for many people- which turns to hatred- and hatred is never good, never good for anyone. Anyway I hope I didn’t just sound like a bigot. I’ve written songs in support of the lgbtq community, I’ve been to wild lgbtq parties and have performed at lgbtq events. To think a family member could’ve scared me into being uncomfortable about my sexuality, which could’ve lead to hatred- it’s not who I am but it happens to people and I’m just so grateful it didn’t happen to me.

truth If you are gay or know someone who is, this is important information! Sexual orientation is determined in the womb during fetus development. Various hormones are introduced at specific times to accomplish this .The fetus plays no part in this process. A person is, therefore, born with a predetermined attraction. It is, therefore, not a choice & consequently not a sin & not immoral. It is a natural expression of our species & found commonplace in nature. Intelligent research in this area clearly explains this process. If you are truly interested in truth, based on knowledge, the book Gay, Straight & the Reason Why by Dr. Simon Levay shows this with numerous research articles. If you want to understand the truth & have respect for yourself & others, that you are entitled to, this book will help. It also has, unlike the bible written over 2000 years ago by men that had no understanding of science, an extensive bibliography. I strongly recommend the book. The public must be exposed to facts & knowledge. It is an obligation for those who know the truth & must defend it. Don’t let the religious pull you down to their level of ignorance. Peace

Anyone else find poetic justice in the fact that Mike Pence named his bunny after Marlin Brando, a suspected (and lets face it most likely) bisexual man?

Brando was very open about his sexuality. He talked about his same-sex experiences: "Like a large number of men, I, too, have had homosexual experiences and I am not ashamed. I have never paid much attention to what people think about me. But if there is someone who is convinced that Jack Nicholson and I are lovers, may they continue to do so. I find it amusing." - French “Playboy”, 1972 Also, not only was Brando a left-leaning Democrat, he was from Nebraska (Cornhusker). Why would Mike Pence named the rabbit after someone who isn’t a Hoosier! I love the irony, it’s delicious!

Phillip Alexander: If Pence REALLY wanted to battle child trafficking he has all the tools he needs to do so. The book was not for that - it was for glorifying him in the eyes of impressionable children. The "charity" donation is just a tax dodge. As Vice President he COULD do some real good in this Nation, but instead he spends his time backing the world's current biggest joke. So no, in this case, the competing book is a good idea. You see, Pence is an ENORMOUS HOMOPHOBE, likely triggered by his own self-hate and latent curiosities that he's ashamed of. He's so far back in the closet he has a view of Narnia. He wants to turn an entire population of adult human beings into criminals with his intolerance, too. He has NO BELIEF IN RELIGIOUS FREEDOM, except for his own freedom of course. I'm a heterosexual white woman, registered Independent since the first year I could vote, and I'm ashamed of the current administration in my country. Including Pence.

InWeCome it’s almost like there’s more demand for a book that’s marketed toward a larger demographic

[@catdragon2584]

Holy shit that was fast

[@AlexTheGamer97]

Eliakith What? Are you saying people aren't lining up to buy a book made by Mike Pence about his rabbit?

[@GannerRhysode]

Except that’s wrong. Pences was at number 5. And the reason it sold more online is because that’s the only place it’s available. I don’t see how it isn’t copyright infringement

[@GannerRhysode]

Moxon that’s how leftists argue

[@crowridley8245]

John’s british accent really comes out with the women in the military line

[@Youbetternowatchthis]

Thanks. I really need this once a week. There is still hope!

[@psychokitty444]

I'll say this for Pence: No one else can be edited to match the "Hellfire" song from Hunchback of Notre Dame so perfectly. I'm serious.

[@JonathanLundkvist]

Link your Pence Hellfire KZbin Viceos here please. It saves me the work for googling for them.

[@kaitm8459]

psychokitty444 lol that’s accurate

[@kilderok]

OMFG is there a video of that? There is a video of that. Searching.

[@Torterra625]

[@psychokitty444]

Search "Pencefire" (Feat. the Mormon Tabernacle Choir).

[@kathandramarie317]

This is why I love John Oliver and Last Week Tonight. They come up with these crazy ideas and actually go through with it, like Catheter Cowboy and now this children’s book.

[@maryrosekent8223]

And the debt forgiveness

[@gidioter]

what happend with italian election

[@glynmorgan5111]

the fact that John Oliver did not rip into pence on his(olivers) actual wife being a veteran and actually was not infuriated to being unable to do this piece is amazing.

[@barthollevoetkbr961]

I have heard John Oliver talk about his wife, and the way he describes her leads me to believe that Mrs Oliver prefers to, and is highly capable of, doing her own ripping and in doing so would do more damage to Pence than Oliver and the LWT writers could dream to do.

[@GrahamChapman]

I think I learned to recognize "that" part of John's shows around the time Mr. Nutterbutter was introduced. #EatShitBob

[@charles3840]

Funnily enough, this is the one show, besides the first show I watched, where I didn't know "that" part had started. I thought the bunny was just going to be a running gag through the rest of the piece, like Greg the pothead or dad's thong.

[@JustErics101]

Marlon Bundo is adorable and did nothing wrong. He's a good bun.

[@AndreggvilJammer]

what a power move

[@strangerares]

there is nothing wrong with promoting a family and helping sexually confused people,what I do not understand is promoting gay relations in children's book and causing confusion children who dont know what is good or bad or right or wrong

[@strangerares]

sexually confused people

[@95DarkFire]

He says being gay is wrong and this book will make children gay.

[@JokersSerious]

nice troll, dude.

[@bryanskscion2229]

John Oliver is one of those furries?

[@marhiney_kaye]

I can listen to John Oliver say, "Jesus ain't say that..." every day, all day!😂😂😂

“Poke us in the fanny” just leaves you a bit uncomfortable as a Brit 😂

[@eriadin]

Just a quick question. What is your nickname? ;-;

[@MrBibi86]

a fanny here in Australia is a nickname for virgina lol

[@lukedavis5727]

Being an American who learned what "fanny" means in English terms is uncomfortable as well

[@carolkotcheck6065]

Captain obvious What does “ fanny” mean in American ? I thought Americans tried to understand the English language.

[@lukedavis5727]

@@carolkotcheck6065 it means butt like "oh you fell on your fanny" it's usually used by older people.

[@amygamergal7625]

Talk about conversion therapy itself because people do not understand what it is or how bad it is.

[@CCBrown92]

AmyGamerGal An episode should be done on that, yeah.

[@gibrana9214]

Good idea

[@calebpaddack7450]

That story is COMPLETELY made up. It is not only incredibly illegal, it spits in the face of what every Christian has ever been taught....ever. So on the slim chance it's real, understand it was a pedophile using the term Christian in name only.

[@elvoncoleman6459]

Caleb Paddack sounds like denial.

[@elvoncoleman6459]

Caleb Paddack Come on now, we all know pedophilia and Christianity damn near walk hand in hand.

If two black women and their kid didn't know which restaurants or stores they could go into in 1960, and still don't know which restaurants or stores they can go into in 2018, and not be turned away, then we all still have a lot of really important work to do together.

[@StrazdasLT]

Yes, for example how the hell did we manage to raise two women who have thier own kids and be that fucking dumb?

[@rolotomasi5761]

James Blackburn: Amen to that bro. It seems like we're moving backwards....quick fast. What happened to evolution? This ideology is regression.

@Vageegee Smithins Fuck off, stupid.

[@TJ_Travels1]

Don't make this a race thing

[@ErroneousMonk1]

Rolo Tomasi Do you even know that you guys are reacting to some woman on camera saying they don't know what restaurant they can eat at? Do you differentiate the facts from the feelings? Did she say they had been turned away from ANY establishment for simply being ugly and gay or for destroying a child's psyche by exposing them to an unhealthy lifestyle with no father figure so that she'll one day grow up to be abused because she doesn't understand real love between a man and a woman? No, she said she's "afraid" of it happening. Now wake up and learn the difference between truth and fiction.

[@creeperinvasion6885]

So at this point John has bought like 50 websites in the span of 7 seasons of television

[@Wizzzzard]

I'm laughing my ass off right now. Well played John, well played!

[@meghananagaraju1851]

The story's so beautiful. I'm pretty sure Marlon Bundo is going to be on the bestseller list in no time. John Oliver should win an award for coming up with the best ways to piss off evil people. 😂

[@khaleesidaenerys788]

Meghana Raju can't wait to buy it!

[@spencercarruth9706]

Adding it to my cart now. Can't wait for Pence's reaction to this!

[@MegaJsaa]

Meaby hes gonna sue him, and its gonna be the most hilarious court case ever.

[@wolfenman1013]

Unfortunately Pence’s version is already an Amazon best seller.

[@Kit-se3zs]

nbkcq28 that's what I was going to say - give one to your library! I live in a small conservative town and I'm sure they wouldn't put it on display but it should at least be on the shelf.

[@Kit-se3zs]

nbkcq28 Yep that is indeed the question. I meant that's the way it ideally should be everywhere - on the shelves at least. My retired librarian mom used to manage book acquisitions and donations so I'll ask her whether she thinks they'd put it on the shelf.

[@sattara519]

Send it to me pls. I really wanna buy one for my son, but cant afford it
