Alabama's newest Senator Doug Jones took the ceremonial oath of office yesterday from Vice President Mike Pence. Looking on were Jones' wife, Louise, his son Christopher and his son, Carson, who is capturing attention for the withering look he cast at the VP during the swearing-in.
Carson Jones, a-22-year-old zookeeper who lives in Colorado, confirmed to The Advocate last month he was gay. The side-eye was directed squarely at Pence, who has a long history of opposing same-sex marriage and equal protections for members of the LGBT community.

All you have to do is watch one homosexual parade.
You’ll see the anti-social displays, trying to insult as many people as they can.
That’s an expression of anti-social behavior or hatred. It’s done to offend as many ‘straights’ as possible.
Despite this, we are thought of as the people who hate.
You’re right > IMO.

Im guessing hell be tossed out in another two years. From your lips to God's ears. Please!!
I didn't know Jones had a gay son (who obviously hates VP Pence, and probably all Republicans). What a mess this whole situation has become... all because of the lousy Sessions appointment as AG. :-(

His support for homosexual “marriage” which I doubt he have supported otherwise.

Sounds like the animals may need a safe space from the zookeeper

Yes, it's a dumb article. However, if Mike Pence plans to run for President after Trump's second term, we all have to brace ourselves for ferocious attacks from gays and from anybody who has gay friends and family members. I live in NYC and otherwise mild-mannered people, including moderate Republicans, are irrational on the subject of Mike Pence. “He scares me”, they say. They are threatened and offended by Pence's stand against gay marriage to degree I've never seen before. I am guessing it is Pence's obvious decency and mild temperament that really make them unhinged: they cannot chalk up his opposition to homosexual behavior and gay marriage to his being “crazy”. So, get ready, folks. You can expect that people you consider friends are going to engage in a sort-of blackmail in a few years, forcing you to choose between supporting Mike Pence and remaining friends with them. It is going to be different than it was with Trump, and, in some ways, worse.

Those two used to make me laugh so much back in the ‘aughts’.
This is from the “Fridays Comedy Show”, I think.
Just one quick look at the attitude, that exaggerated snarl on “Baldies” face, told you everything. For some reason, I can’t think of his name. He has at least two other brothers, also professional comics. They used to be everywhere.

Got a chuckle from that pic.
Can you imagine the "Men on ...." series making it on TV today?
I guess that's the type of "progress" were shooting for.

I dont know about withering. Seems more like he’s wondering if the VP is circumcised.

Thanks Bodleian_Girl. He might have said something to the Vice President, but he appeared to have something stuck in his throat.

Jones better know his place because he only lost due to Moore. He only lost to unproven accusations being embraced by the Republican party. Without the deliberate backstabbing, Moore would have won anyways.
Put the blame where it belongs. On people like Richard Shelby and the lying media.
