“You knew what I was when you took me in.” — The Snake
“E’en Hell has its peculiar laws.” — Faust
That muffled scream you hear is Mike Pence screaming MUTH-ERRRRR, swiftly followed by wifey clapping the pillow (a MyPillow?) down on Pence’s face and saying, as she said to him on Election Night 2016, we are told, “You got what you wanted, Mike.” Yes, indeed Mike, you got what you wanted and you weren’t afraid to sell your soul to Mango Mephistopheles. So don’t complain now.
Mike Pence has been dutifully making appearances and alluding to a run in 2024 but this last nail in the coffin from Trump may put a halt to that tomfoolery. Or, maybe not. A speaker’s fee is a speaker’s fee and there may not be too many of them coming in. Best head on down to “K” street and hang out your shingle as a lobbyist, Mike. Unless you want to join up with Roger Stone in the grifting game. Stone doesn’t think you have the brains for it, the rest of the world doesn’t think you have the stomach — buuut, if you would tattoo Trump on your back, then some acts in the carnival may be swinging open their doors. Something to think about.
Here’s Donald Trump delivering the coup de grace to his former vice president, in an interview with Mike Lindell, which has been described as “Not David Frost and Richard Nixon.”
Trump is the kind of guy that after he tells the same lie a couple of times, comes to believe that it really is as he is saying. Trump sounds so sincere here because he really believes that Pence could have saved his bacon. It’s all Mike Pence’s fault.
That is now MAGA dogma and has been for some time. It won’t change.
The bottom line is that Pence was toast in any event. It was simply a question of did he want to totally become a traitor and throw a monkey wrench in the wheels of government the likes of which has never been seen before in this country and risk criminal prosecution himself for doing so, or adhere to the rule of law? Trump expected the former and he doesn’t care about the latter. Pence is not stupid. He should have known that the minute he crossed Trump, even though it was completely legal and proper to do so, he was gone.
Apparently that didn’t occur to him. He was reportedly livid in the Senate afterwards. His long time pal, Jim Inhofe, said that he had never seen Pence so angry in all the years he had known him.
Pence apparently either didn’t know Trump was the snake or he thought he was somehow exempt from the snake’s venom. Not intelligent thinking, either way.
Wave bye bye, Mike. The train of politics is chugging by and the GOP conductor just put you off in no man’s land.
The former guy has been bashing everyone who gets in the way of his continuing ambition to become Emperor of the US. He needs someone to stick a fork in him, because he’s not sane enough for broom-pushing any more, unless a business wants a broom-pusher who mutters “I coulda been somebody” all the time.
Pence made his deal with his anti-Christ and signed multiple renewals in blood. Yet he somehow still believes if he prays hard enough to his Jeebus that all will be made right and he will be anointed to save the GOP and the country. It doesn’t matter how many times Trump kicks him like he’s the “Ouch! My Balls!” guy from Idiocracy. I remain convinced that Pence still believes against all evidence to the contrary that the time will come when Trump makes a grand announcement endorsing him for 2024. Or maybe it’s “Mother” who believes that shit. No matter. That’s a stroke of luck that’s not going to happen for Pence.
That fly on his head makes me think of Shel Silverstein’s The Devil And Billy Markham, where a fly shits on one of the dice and gives Billy the “thirteen” needed to win. The Devil gleefully swipes away the spot of shit and says “Don’t count on no flyshit luck!” That seems to be what Pence is counting on, and Trump will play the role of the Devil in that scenario over and over. And as always take perverse pleasure in stomping on Pence’s delusions of grandeur.
I rarely comment, but Im so sick of the one-sidedness of these sites. I think all of you left-leaning people forget that Trump had at least 8 million votes – maybe more if you discount all of the illegal votes finally being reported by the States. Pence dug his own grave because he had his own agenda ehich did not support Trump. He chose the wrong side!
1. Yes, Trump did get 74,222,958 votes.
2. There were no illegal votes. That is fantasy.
3. Pence wasn’t going to do something completely illegal to suit Trump. If that’s the definition of “his own agenda” then I guess that’s that.
4. Pence chose the rule of law over appeasing a lunatic.
No illegal votes isn’t qualified true. There were some illegal votes but they were done by republicans. Just like the rules that they say were changed. That also was done by republicans in an attempt to change the vote only Democrats used them to take republicans out.
Just what sites or broadcasts do you like? Faux news where everything they say is “true”, “fair” and “honest”? Qanon sites where you can learn that lazer beams changed votes and an orange, bloated clown is the second coming? That a life saving vaccine will make you bioluminescent and Bill Gates wants to track your every move because he gives a shit about you? Wake up bonehead. Better yet, if you don’t like these one-sided sites, stop coming to them. Go strap on your automatic weapon, join the Q cult and do your best to overthrow the government and take a dump on the Constitution.
EXCUUUUUSE MEEEEE!!! What illegal votes? You mean the kind, in Texas’s, where the guy voted for Trump using his dead mother’s address? You right wing it’s really better get ahold of theTRUTH because, if you don’t, this country is going down and down hard.
Quit watching FOX lies Bizzee1!!!! Well said Ursula, well said!
Well it’s my opinion that all the so called mainstream media is pushing their coverage to the right. Well maybe not all but most are and they are drowning out the ones who aren’t. Every time that Biden slips they are like a bunch of cats are when you open a can of food. Especially after we find out that several news channels are all owned by he same people as this aon. I don’t know if that’s right letters. Anyway we have staggering records on the economy and employment and whatever else but at this point that’s back page news. Like in the old days when you read the paper you had your stories and you knew the important stuff was above the fold. Below was mainly fill. And they won’t even give Biden below the flow. And then today I seen that clown newt Gingrich and he was saying how Joe Biden is all worn out and doesn’t know what’s going on. Well when I watch Joe he might make a mistake here and there but if you push him he will leave you in the dust, like a bad habit. And if I remember right they ran newt off as the speaker. And if he’s going to keep running his mouth why isn’t he still doing something real instead of trashing Biden and the democrats.
So far, all voter “fraud” has been committed by republican voters voting for former guy. This is all the voter fraud, always such a minuscule amount so as to be almost nonexistent, found for the 2020 presidential election.
See, the reason why you don’t see anyone writing about a “stolen election” is because there was no stolen election. President Biden beat former guy by over 8 million votes. The country could not get rid of the blithering, orange, shit gibbon quickly enough.
If you do not like the content of these sites, I would suggest you go elsewhere for your reading material.
Fed a steady diet of lies, they lose their taste for the truth.
Of course there was fraud – Republiqanon states actually allowed people to vote for Biden and even counted the votes.
What is right wing dictatorship coming to these days?
When you consider all the Evangelicals who have no difficulty at all with lying and cheating, he stands out. Even when he goes along with it, which he mostly does, he looks uncomfortable with it. Even if it was only a case of fearing the law more than Trump**, it’s actually impressive that he didn’t succumb on Jan 6 – he really does not belong in the Republican Party, but he belongs even less inamong Semocrats. It’s time for him to leave politics and find something more ocngenial.
Poor Mikey – God lied to him again and Trump hates him, which might be the only good thing to come from all of this.
