Again, I am not saying that people don't have that right.

I'm saying that people have a right to do all manner of things they shouldn't do.

But simply stating the obvious about what people have a "right" to do in these type of threads adds nothing to the discussion.
You get what you give. As has been pointed out, they are well aware of what Pence has said in the past.

I really don't have a party and I never have. I've voted for Rs and Ds for president in the past, and that's pretty much what I'd do again, depending on candidate.

Trump et al are simply a dumpster fire.

I guarantee you that if Trump was removed from office and Pence became president, all this furor would calm right down.

I think he got walked out on because he's COMPLICIT with this joke of a president.

I doubt it was because of Pence personally.

We've had conservative VPs before.


"This administration" has done nothing of the sort.

The monkeys in the circus belong 100% to the Democrats and the media who, despite purporting to place such esteemed importance on "accepting the results of the election" when they thought they had it in the bag, have been acting like a bunch of spoiled brats who've had their binky taken away since November.

I would have paid Turkey's guys to beat them up.

But seriously, I would tell them if they want their diplomas they'll have to go to the White House to get them.

The administration turned this Presidency into? You say.

No, it is the media who has.
And the unhinged libs like Madonna, Judd, Pelosi, Scumaker, Maxine, and the public.

That's who has made the Presidency a mess.

Well, there is that at least.

I suppose you could call it an improvement.

Merely your opinion.

As I said, no matter how people decide to protest someone somewhere inevitably has a problem with it and its almost always the usual suspects. I believe this has to do with how one views authority.

But seriously, if you want to live in a country where bodyguards are sent out to beat people up, you may want to consider moving to Russia or Turkey. Happens on a regular basis there. You'd feel right at home.

In the U.S., citizens have the constitutional right to do just exactly what those students did.

To maintain that that they should have to grovel before a liar and a traitor in order to get their diploma is beyond ridiculous.

I've seen some ignorant posts on this forum, but this wins the prize today.

Well they would have learned more from that lesson than they learned in 4 years at ND...respect for diversity.

What else are we discussing here but our opinion?

Again.... nobody is saying that they don't have a right to protest.

But there's a fine line between protesting and acting like a bunch of disrespectful toddlers.

Would you want to remember your graduation ceremonies this way?

Would you want your kids to?

I know I wouldn't

Oh, and BTW.....

Democrats are just peachy with authority..... as long as the authority in power is enforcing their views.
