Link to the Pence article in the Washington Post: https://wapo.st/49V8CAc

What a weenie. He didn't feeeel like certifying MY vote. Why are all these men so whiny? (she whines)

My cynical take is that Pence's PR people thought this would put him in a favorable light...he didn't want to go against his "friend" and then his Marine son reminds him of his oath (cue Stars and Stripes Forever). So maybe the former president's cult won't be so mad at him. And maybe a set up for Marine son in politics someday.

I never thought Pence was the smartest person around, but I didn't think he was stupid. Until now. Man has zero understanding of TFF*G and history, including his. He was savvy enough (or someone with him was) to stay at Capitol and not get in that car. But now . . . TRUMP DOESN'T FORGET/FORGIVE! If he thinks TFF*G will forget and forgive him so he can go on his merry way, he's delusional. And by invoking his son in this mess, he threw his marine son under a tank if TFF*G wins. The concentration camps were full of the families of those who opposed Hitler. And TFF*G will build them to house his enemies.

He stayed in the Capitol because he was worried that he'd be hustled off to somewhere undisclosed, never to be heard from again. I think we've learned that he told his personal Secret Service guy something along those lines that day.

He didn't want to "hurt his friend" ! ( you know, the guy who sicked the magats on him).

Exactly. I guess you could say call him a wahmbulance for that little crick in his neck after the mob got their hands on poor tearful Pence. (Trying to imagine the eulogy given by πŸŠπŸ’© at the State Funeral...)

Pence reminds me a lot of Uriah Heep. It's that pious, smarmy, oleaginous, "I'm such a humble Christian" phony front he puts on that just crawls right up my back.

Gotta love the word "oleaginous". So utterly literate and perfect.

Pence doesn't have the malice of Uriah Heep. I suspect he justifies so much of his behavior with "God's ends justify my means." But his lack of decisiveness until the eleventh hour says a lot. A wimp AND a weenie.

When considering the Pence β€˜malice-meter’, keep in mind his behavior towards AIDS victims back when he was governor of IN. He took the position of refusing medications for them unless they would agree to Christian conversion therapy. That was at the very least malicious.

I'm not really a fan of their music either.

That’s too bad...The new album has some good stuff. Track 3, β€œNothing left to Noose” has one of the best bridges of all time and track 5, β€œKetchup on the Wall” is a great bop by any standard.

Didn’t they rededicated β€œStealin’” to the Orange Dude though?

Don't forget, he didn't want to hurt his "friend." JSMH

Yep, his β€œfriend”, that delicate, sensitive, frail little snowflake.

Except no flowing, white robes. He tried β€˜em on and it made him horney. So he switched to a diaper
