Planned Parenthood trolls Trump-Pence debacle in epic fashion

If Donald Trump’s selection of Mike Pence as his running mate started off poorly when it was leaked that he had spent the entire night before trying to figure out how to dump Pence in favor of someone else, things took a turn for the worse when the campaign unveiled a Trump-Pence “TP” logo which quickly became the butt of social media jokes. Not only was it ripe for toilet paper references and nods to Beavis and Butt-Head, it was also lampooned for resembling a sex act. Planned Parenthood wasted little time lampooning the debacle:

Just a few hours after the Donald Trump campaign released the Trump-Pence logo, which appeared to depict the T penetrating the P in a sexual fashion, Planned Parenthood of New York City posted a revised version of the logo in which a condom had been placed on the T. “We fixed the #TrumpPence logo. Stay safe, y’all. When it comes to sex AND voting,” the group declared, along with “Not My Ticket” and “I’m With Her” in reference to its endorsement of Hillary Clinton.

Not allowed to advertise their campaign because their logo is pornographic. If you rotate it 90 degrees, it's Nazi

I still suspect Trump is trolling all of us and isn't really trying to be president.

So the ones who believe birth control is against nature. I was raised Catholic and many of them are against condoms for that reason and claim that God blessed them with large families.

The Church leadership has came out in favor of condoms as a way to prevent STDs like HIV a few yeas ago. But there are those who think the church has gotten too liberal these days.

There are also the ones who believe condoms/birth control encourage promiscuity among unmarried teenagers too. Who will I guess burn in hell for their sins of being normal human beings.

their idea of "normal." Fortunately for us, that is disappearing. But that doesn't stop them from fighting obsessively to return to a past they perceive as safe for themselves.

If competent, I cannot believe it was designed without malice aforethought.

But I wouldn't put it past the Trump campaign to try to get by on the cheap. Maybe one of his grandchildren designed it. Then again, maybe one of his grandchildren designed it intentionally.

Kasich the terrible is still trying to close what few Planned Parenthood clinics still open. We are sending a petition to everyone...The celebration was very jumpy. At one point, it was noticed that there were people on the roof...the police went up and made them come down...scary for the Mom of a gay daughter.
