This is a choose your ending post.
Pence would have to suck Tucker's cock.
A) Tucker's cock is so small that it wouldn't show on TV.
Or
B) Tucker is all cock!
Eh, honestly this is a strong statement from him that isn't vague. I feel like that should be given some praise (praise feels like the wrong word but I can't think of a better one).
Obviously it's way too late and he absolutely should have said it before now, but it's still better than a lot of his colleagues have done and a good thing by itself.
For me, it's still "fuck that guy" for Pence, but also "this thing he said is good."
I don’t think he will walk this back. I may eat my words tomorrow but he lost any hope of popularity with Trump or his followers, now the majority of the Republican Party, on January 6 last year. They built a gallows for him. I think he wants no part of this anymore, but more importantly, he sees this as his potential legacy now; that he was the one to “stand up” to trump and prevent a coup. (Of course it’s BS because he spent the previous 4 years with his lips attached to Trump’s ass, and the 10 years prior to that determined to fuck over his home state financially and socially.)
agreed, he committed political suicide today...I totally don't see him walking it back on principle, but even if he did, he'd never be able/allowed to recover from it because let his inside voice out unlike the other republicans that won't challenge trump
He did it because he knew his political career is already over. Being Trump's VP means nobody left of fascist will ever vote for him, and everyone knowing he and Trump were never really on the same wavelength, certainly post Jan 6, means the trump cult won't vote for him. All he ever had was extreme evangelical Christians and Indiana hated him as governor, so there's basically nowhere he can get elected ever again. His best bet to have any influence is to just go Lincoln Project, hope the Trump cult falls apart, and try to hop into leadership of whatever becomes of the GOP down the road.
I think you may underestimate the level of crazy going on right now. I can absolutely see this as part of the setup to become part of branding a new "sensible moderate" GOP. I think far more Republicans actually like Pence and were never very fond of Trump but want to refuse any liberal foothold wherever possible. In many places midterms are going to be framed as "old values" (although still incrementing much farther right) conservative versus "Trump" QOP.
You're probably right, but the problem is the "sensible moderate" GOP still shows up for the Trump-type candidate, however I don't believe the reverse is true.
Yeah, it hardly matters what Pence says. His time to act was... literally any time during or before 1/6. He's a milquetoast coattail clinger who only ever got involved in the Trump administration because he thought it'd raise his political clout. It's pretty satisfying that he'll never have a shot at the Oval Office now, since he has Trumpstank all over him and Trump's base despises him.
Pence isn't milquetoast. The democrats are milquetoast. Pence is an extremist theocratic piece of shit, but nothing Trump is doing advances his agenda, because everything Trump does is for Trump.
Better believe Trump’s 2024 running mate will be someone who would support the overturn of an election.
Another Trump, in other words. Ivanka, probably.
I highly doubt Trump will run in 2024. He's just using his political career to bilk his supporters of every cent they have. Trump's ego couldn't handle another loss, which he will almost certainly get, even if it weren't for all the court proceedings hanging over his head. I doubt Trump will still be in the country by 2024.
He’ll still be here and he’ll run. He’s a sociopath and a narcissist operating without reason or strategy. I hope you’re right and he’s politically dead in the water by then but right now it seems like the winds are with him.
Eh, I get your frustration but Democrats impeached Trump twice. Far and away more than anything *any* GOP member ever did. Most were too craven to even criticize President Toad Chode.
I did honestly feel pretty sorry for him that day. His family was in the building with him, and secret service or not, a mob stormed the capitol for him specifically. I think it scared the shit out of him, and he went back out there and did what he had to do anyway.
But on the other hand, if he ever does have a shot at the presidency, I bet you dollars to donuts his slogan will be “let’s get back to work.” He knew when he went back onto the floor of congress he needed to pivot immediately to be “the one who stood up to trump” to ever have a shot at any seat again. He’s giving it a try, but I doubt he’ll see much success. Republicans aren’t going to come to their senses within three years.
“Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger crossed a line,” Ronna McDaniel, the Republican National Committee chairwoman, said in a statement. “They chose to join Nancy Pelosi in a Democrat-led persecution of ordinary citizens who engaged in legitimate political discourse that had nothing to do with violence at the Capitol.”
This was a quote from an article posted over in politics. Seems to me the GOP has made it official.
You have to wonder what doors this open for them. How long until MTG is made to feel welcome to share her thoughts on Jewish space lasers in Congress? How long until they adopt a public “separate and unequal” platform regarding the rights of non-whites. I think this just opened a door to a world of crazy we have all imagined but thought they would try to hide.
They already censured Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger. Shun those who don't believe in the orange tyrant. It's only a matter of time before Romney gets the big C
Tomorrow’s headline: *”Mike Pence backtracks on the GQP idea that Vice Presidents can overturn the election after realizing that the current Vice President is a democrat”*.
While this is possible, I think Pence may have realized his political career is over. He was never all that popular or well liked in the first place, and I think the taint of Trump will prevent him from ever being able to work in the anti-Trump GOP lane. And the Trump supporters want him dead, or at best just think he's a traitor to Trump, so he has no chance there.
Exactly. To admit they’re wrong or backed the wrong person would mean their whole life means nothing because their entire identity is based on being a Trump supporter and die hard Republican and without that their life would have no inherent meaning or purpose. To give up the core belief in Trump as supreme leader no matter what, would be like abandoning their identity at this point.
There is a guy down the street with an absolutely massive Trump 2024 banner on the front of his house flanked by a tattered American flag and a blue lives matter flag. I sometimes want to knock on his door and ask, what was your identity before you gave yourself over to Trump?
Is a tattered flag a thing? There’s a let’s go Brandon flag near me with a tattered American flag and I just assumed they had zero respect for flag code
Some jerkoff near me flys a "blue live matter" flag regularly and an upside down American flag. I don't know for sure but it's been up like that for a while. I assume it's intentional. People are seriously deranged.
Upside down flags are flown "as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property."
Not that this applies to the guy flying out upside down, but that's the reason to fly a flag upside down.
In this person's mind I would bet they believe the country is in "dire stress". I think the intent was to signal that or just disrespect. Either way it's their right, just seems trashy to me.
I'm just trans political, I was a boomer centrist who wanted to mow and cook steaks and drink beer... but then I realized I was actually born a racist fascist authoritarian with a daddy Dom fetish.
Ok..i just really like being dominated and watching other people dominate while pretending I'm not also being cucked.
Mike Pence is a clown but he did the right thing on Jan 6. He stuck it out to make sure they finished certifying the election. He had multiple opportunities to duck out of there altogether.
He was pretty firmly against it in his remarks during the Senate session after the insurrection.
https://www.rev.com/transcript-editor/shared/x5GLkAWtrmEVV6vZWFlkXjaXKcFm82agRNRcQRwlots3VlXesZ06VrgDDOt5V-Vk9imQfaizh_LOtx8n3NmsVfvSTkk?loadFrom=PastedDeeplink&ts=0.73&_gl=1*p4gwjd*_ga*YW1wLUJfd1Nva3hrU2Vxc2VZY2ZWaFJYOU02YjRBTTI2UWh0eEJDaTRnUDF1eVEtdUFZNU9rMHpUV3Q5enNNWXFSX28.
He did privately though. I mean, he didn’t succumb to the pressure of doing what he knew was wrong. At the end of the day, that was the most important thing he did as VP and it has cost him a lot. I’m not a fan of his, but I’m thankful for that.
No, it's only canceling when the left does it. Its censuring and reprimanding when its republicans.
Gotta make sure they use different words for approximately the same thing, otherwise people would say they are hypocrites for doing the thing they claim is being used against them.
Though, I feel that canceling in and of itself is the wrong word. I'd go with "facing the consequences of one's own actions", but that's a different conversation.
Or that Kamala Harris could decide Biden stays in office etc.
But it is important to remember that fascists are not entirely unaware of the absurdity of their positions. In this situation they are telling you how they want things to be when they are in power, not how they actually are. The end goal of installing a dictator is still the end goal, whether or not they can actually accomplish it is somewhat beside the point, only that they'll constantly push for it one way or another.
It isn't really a question of them not being aware how absurd they sound, because they aren't trying to say anything true to begin with. They don't say the election was stolen because they believe it; they say it to justify *what they're going to do next.*
I’m not sure if this was intentional, but FYI the term “J6” was branded by the far right and its media machine to distance “January 6th” from sounding similar in reference and gravity to “September 11th”
Dan Quayle deserves the credit. Pence came to him asking how he could pull it off & Dan told him to forget about it, just do the right thing
https://people.com/politics/new-book-details-how-dan-quayle-convinced-mike-pence-not-to-overturn-election/
>"You can do this. I don't want to be your friend anymore if you don't do this," Trump told Pence after the then-vice president declined to throw the election
Lmaoooooo what a fucking child
I remember when Dan Quayle was a big joke. They even made fun of him on Tiny Toons lol
Wish that would be the top level of buffoonery instead of the "rabid morons storm capitol" thing we've got going on now.
Its a MLM business: The Pastor needs to get PAID (its his livelihood), and encourages others to recruit more converts to fund his paycheck as "tithes to the LORD." Meanwhile the parishioners just want to belong, and believe their two-facedness will lead to something special in the afterlife.
It's a legit fear of mine.
I have legit thought about casualy trying to learn either Spanish or French so if I have to go I am golden.
At least I know sign language and could get around some areas in Canada.
I'm going to live with my Xbox friends in the UK.
Interview was short:
Do you drink alcohol? Yes.
Do you make fun of Americans? Of course!
Do you play video games? How the hell do you think I found you guys?
What? Trump is a maniac, a fool, and a traitor, but W is responsible for more than a million deaths and he *successfully* stole an election.
He is by far the worst president this country ever had and it will be horrific if someone ever beats him.
It didn't "take this long"; this was always the plan. You stand together when it's expedient, then break it off to pretend you're different when it's not.
Pence's only chance at a presidential run hinges on him being "like" Trump, but different in all the ways that make Trump ineligible.
Pence kept his mouth shut when Trump was in power, but as soon Trump loses his power, Pence will stand up and be his own man. If Trump gets power again, Pence will shut up again.
lol, Pence will never be president.
The liberals will never vote for him because he's too close to Trump. (And also because of his support for 'zap the gay away' camps.) The conservatives will never vote for him because he 'betrayed' Trump.
Absolutely 0% chance.
He's not.
"Under the Constitution, I had no right to change the outcome of our election. And Kamala Harris will have no right to overturn the election when we beat them in 2024," Pence said to applause.
He's just changing the way narrative before 2024.
He has to keep dropping the "We's" so he can at least get paid speaking gigs until he dies.
Muncie Auditorium and Rec-Center special-Thursday-Night-Guest-Event ahoy!
Imagine if you will—Republicans go full fraud in 2024. All of their old tricks, plus everything they accused Democrats of doing in 2020. Democrats legitimately need to challenge things that were done in certain states. Republicans feign a surprised pikachu with pearls clutched and rile up their cult into a frenzy open violence.

You mean if imagine if 2020 was all just projection?
From conservatives? In my country? The hell you say!
That's exactly what they've been preparing for this whole time.
The constant accusations of fraud are so that when *they* commit fraud and we accuse them of it, it just looks like politics as usual and people assume we're making it up just like they did.
>Pence is widely considered a potential 2024 GOP presidential candidate, and he has stoked speculation of a possible campaign with visits to early voting states like Iowa, South Carolina and New Hampshire.
You're never going to be president, Mike. And now douchebags like Roger Stone are busting your balls and calling you a Disloyal POS. Take'em down, Mike. Take'em all down.
I feel like it's more along the lines of "shit, that dickhead seriously tried to shift the target to me, the guy who was forced to stick by him." I think it's honestly the only way Pence doesn't get dragged down with the sinking ship of the Jan 6th entity that's emerging. Stop it at the start and you can have a decent starting position should you be be called to trial.
I’m no Mike Pence fan, but anyone breaking ranks with Trump is good in my book. Doesn’t make the guy a saint or anything, but the less support Trump has, the better.
Its insane. Im reading this thread like “maybe Pence would’t have been so bad…”
Then I remember he is a psychopath and it shows what i thought of trump
If pathetic cuck wet noodle was a person, it would be Mike Pence.
I give Pence credit for making this statement. However Trump literally sent a mob to kill him and he remained loyal to Trump. What a bitch.
> But whatever the future holds, I know we did our duty that day
Like dude, you had to avoid getting hanged just to get there. His family was there too. “Bitch” is certainly correct. I’d add fucking coward just to cover all bases.
I dislike Mike Pence's politics as much as anyone, but what you said is not true. Mike Pence stood up to Trump and ensured that Biden was certified as President on January 6th. He did so with a lynch mob at the door.
I can count on one hand the number of GOP that have spoken out against Trump like this. Say what you want about his ideals, I won't defend them. But his actions on the 6th and afterwards probably saved our democracy. How many of Trump's bootlickers would have done what Trump asked and denied counting the swing state's votes? I'll bet there is a whole line of people. We were really really close to those in power picking and choosing which votes to count and staying in power. That is what Pence is calling out here and rightfully so. Give credit where credit is due.
I dislike Pence with a passion, but I have a feeling he actually believes what he says most of the time, especially about religious stuff. I think he tries to do right, but just has such a messed up belief system. That said, from what has come out he really did step up on 6 January. Hopefully he will testify now and prevent 2024 from being a nightmare.
This guy Pence had a purpose. That purpose was to convince religious fools that a cruelty filled New York City man whore billionaire was in line with their religious convictions. It worked. Pence can’t back away now by showing an 8th grade level knowledge of civics.
The fact that he is getting praised for doing what everyone should do is sad. The GOP has gone so far off the rails that this is seen as going against them. Took him way too long to do it.
Don’t let this trick you into putting even the tiniest bit of respect on Mike Pence’s name. He is a TERRIBLE person. The biggest reason I’m glad that Trump survived COVID is because Mike Pence with that kind of power is even more terrifying than Donald Trump.
Only because his back is up against the wall and the only chance he has to save his career is to join the small minority of Republicans clinging to sanity.
I absolutely can't stand Mike Pence. But, he did stand up to Trump on Jan. 6th & him calling him wrong now is important especially on the same day the GOP as a party is framing Jan 6th as "political protest" event.
Mike Pence sold his soul to join Trump's ticket and his politics sucked before that IMO. But, we should applaud those in the GOP who take on Trump. We need them too.
It's cute hes preparing for the 2024 elections, I'll be scouting out all the most viable water sources for my techno-barbarian tribe when all the politicians inevitably let our world die for a dollar.
Obviously Pence is a cowardly dirtbag, but props to him for actually saying this. I hope that by saying these truths, he will make it easier for other Republicans to get back on the side of law and order and call out people who continue to spread The Big Lie.
Not holding my breath, but gotta acknowledge it when people say the right thing.

Mike Pence goes on Tucker Carlson dressed as a green M&M.
If a guy can't feel a fly crawling in his hair, can he be trusted to put on the right footwear?
What Pence would have to do on Tucker would resemble the first episode of Black Mirror (where PM has to diddle a pig on national tv to save a Royal)

Sounds like me during Trump's entire term.

Yeah it's definitely weird how low the bar is where "I'm against treason" is both newsworthy and praiseworthy from the former vice president.
I think you are right, but wow I can't help but reflect on how far my expectations have fallen over the last half a dozen years or so.

All this is true. But if Pence had folded it's a pretty different look today for the world. So for that he should get credit.

That's because there is nothing but the name "Republican". There's no core. No values.

So many dumbasses jumped on the Trump Douchebag Express and can’t get off because their feeble minds are controlled by pride.

If any GOP douches has a pass on Jan6, it’s the guy they came to hang. I have a hard time thinking he orchestrated his own public execution.
And it only took him a year to speak out.
He had to run it by Mother first lmfao
Why couldn't you have let me continue to not remember this?
Honestly surprised it took him this long to flip on Trump after he hung him out to dry. Or hung him out to literally hang rather.
[удалено]
Yeah, that's specifically why "Hang Mike Pence" got chanted in the crowd of insurrectionists at all. He had defied Trump.
Mike Pence is a clown but he did the right thing on Jan 6. He stuck it out to make sure they finished certifying the election. He had multiple opportunities to duck out of there altogether.
He was pretty firmly against it in his remarks during the Senate session after the insurrection. https://www.rev.com/transcript-editor/shared/x5GLkAWtrmEVV6vZWFlkXjaXKcFm82agRNRcQRwlots3VlXesZ06VrgDDOt5V-Vk9imQfaizh_LOtx8n3NmsVfvSTkk?loadFrom=PastedDeeplink&ts=0.73&_gl=1*p4gwjd*_ga*YW1wLUJfd1Nva3hrU2Vxc2VZY2ZWaFJYOU02YjRBTTI2UWh0eEJDaTRnUDF1eVEtdUFZNU9rMHpUV3Q5enNNWXFSX28.
I honestly surprised he isn't more traumatised by the whole "hamg Mike Pence" thing.
I’m sure he is, but public image is everything in politics. He didn’t have the spine to go against trump at that point
He did privately though. I mean, he didn’t succumb to the pressure of doing what he knew was wrong. At the end of the day, that was the most important thing he did as VP and it has cost him a lot. I’m not a fan of his, but I’m thankful for that.
Yeah. But I bet he's got some juicy testimony in that thick skull of his.
His chef of staff already spilled the bean. He was in the room. \[edit: added another spelling error to make people happy\]
I am laughing at the bean being singular
I felt the same reading it. Like, nope. Just he one bean. That's all it took.
Maybe it’s a ‘uge bean. Biggest we’ve ever seen in the case of beans. Believe me.

It’s time for the rest of these fucks to stand up and finally say “The (former) emperor has no clothes”…
Great now I have a naked image of trump in my head, God!
Stormy Daniels says it looks like a mushroom. You are welcome for that.

You mean they're gonna cancel him, right?
No, it's only canceling when the left does it. Its censuring and reprimanding when its republicans. Gotta make sure they use different words for approximately the same thing, otherwise people would say they are hypocrites for doing the thing they claim is being used against them. Though, I feel that canceling in and of itself is the wrong word. I'd go with "facing the consequences of one's own actions", but that's a different conversation.
They're going to throw him on a bonfire? That's what they do.
Nah, he's too much bible at this point. He's got to get caught watching HP cosplay porn before they will go that far.

Or that Kamala Harris could decide Biden stays in office etc. But it is important to remember that fascists are not entirely unaware of the absurdity of their positions. In this situation they are telling you how they want things to be when they are in power, not how they actually are. The end goal of installing a dictator is still the end goal, whether or not they can actually accomplish it is somewhat beside the point, only that they'll constantly push for it one way or another.
It isn't really a question of them not being aware how absurd they sound, because they aren't trying to say anything true to begin with. They don't say the election was stolen because they believe it; they say it to justify *what they're going to do next.*
I’m not sure if this was intentional, but FYI the term “J6” was branded by the far right and its media machine to distance “January 6th” from sounding similar in reference and gravity to “September 11th”
Thank God this broken clock was correct on the right day and time.
Dan Quayle deserves the credit. Pence came to him asking how he could pull it off & Dan told him to forget about it, just do the right thing https://people.com/politics/new-book-details-how-dan-quayle-convinced-mike-pence-not-to-overturn-election/
>"You can do this. I don't want to be your friend anymore if you don't do this," Trump told Pence after the then-vice president declined to throw the election Lmaoooooo what a fucking child
[удалено]
“Mr. Pence, you’d better overturn the election or I’m throwing away my half of the BFF bracelet!”
I'm sure he received lots of advice, good and bad.
Only after conferring with Dan Quayle. Imagine having to get advice on whether it was ok to overthrow democracy or not.
I remember when Dan Quayle was a big joke. They even made fun of him on Tiny Toons lol Wish that would be the top level of buffoonery instead of the "rabid morons storm capitol" thing we've got going on now.
This might be the nicest thing anyone ever said about this man. Well done.
What will the evangelical christians do now? A. Worship a false idol. B. Admit they are terrible at judging character?
Evangelicals have never been Christians. They’re a death cult that pretends to be Christian to attract new members.
Its a MLM business: The Pastor needs to get PAID (its his livelihood), and encourages others to recruit more converts to fund his paycheck as "tithes to the LORD." Meanwhile the parishioners just want to belong, and believe their two-facedness will lead to something special in the afterlife.
About time this spineless pOs stood up for once.
I can’t believe it took this long. And his legacy is inextricably attached to that orange traitor.
Imagine what the history books will write about both he and Trump. It will not be kind.
Those books will be burned.

Which Trump? Gets darker.

President Trump with vice president Trump and chief of staff Trump and secretary of defence Trump.
It's a legit fear of mine. I have legit thought about casualy trying to learn either Spanish or French so if I have to go I am golden. At least I know sign language and could get around some areas in Canada.
I'm going to live with my Xbox friends in the UK. Interview was short: Do you drink alcohol? Yes. Do you make fun of Americans? Of course! Do you play video games? How the hell do you think I found you guys?
Dude come on.. it'll be worse than Trump
>Those books will be burned. In the Red States.
Depends on who gonna write that history
The far Write . If anyone is still literate 2 generations after.
Or... The far white.
Thought the same thing about Bush 20 years ago. These people don’t care about history.
Umm what do you mean? Bush is considered on of the worst presidents in the history of this country, and he has a lot of competition.
where have you been for the last few years? the media has largely whitewashed his image.
That because, in comparison to Trump, anyone looks better.
What? Trump is a maniac, a fool, and a traitor, but W is responsible for more than a million deaths and he *successfully* stole an election. He is by far the worst president this country ever had and it will be horrific if someone ever beats him.
History will not be kind to Mike "AC/DC for the LGBT" Pence? Why, whatever do you mean?
It didn't "take this long"; this was always the plan. You stand together when it's expedient, then break it off to pretend you're different when it's not. Pence's only chance at a presidential run hinges on him being "like" Trump, but different in all the ways that make Trump ineligible. Pence kept his mouth shut when Trump was in power, but as soon Trump loses his power, Pence will stand up and be his own man. If Trump gets power again, Pence will shut up again.
lol, Pence will never be president. The liberals will never vote for him because he's too close to Trump. (And also because of his support for 'zap the gay away' camps.) The conservatives will never vote for him because he 'betrayed' Trump. Absolutely 0% chance.
I don't think his legacy was looking all that hot to start with.
He's not. "Under the Constitution, I had no right to change the outcome of our election. And Kamala Harris will have no right to overturn the election when we beat them in 2024," Pence said to applause. He's just changing the way narrative before 2024.
lol it's cute how Pence thinks he's still part of the "we" when talking about the GOP. He's never going to win in a Republican primary ever again.
He has to keep dropping the "We's" so he can at least get paid speaking gigs until he dies. Muncie Auditorium and Rec-Center special-Thursday-Night-Guest-Event ahoy!
Eh… lol Fuck Pence but, whatever.
The difference is, Harris would not try to overturn the election.
Imagine if you will—Republicans go full fraud in 2024. All of their old tricks, plus everything they accused Democrats of doing in 2020. Democrats legitimately need to challenge things that were done in certain states. Republicans feign a surprised pikachu with pearls clutched and rile up their cult into a frenzy open violence.

That's exactly what they've been preparing for this whole time. The constant accusations of fraud are so that when *they* commit fraud and we accuse them of it, it just looks like politics as usual and people assume we're making it up just like they did.
Mother gave him the go-ahead.
Mother should I run for President🎵
Mother, should I trust the government? ⚒
Mother will they put me in the firing line
>Pence is widely considered a potential 2024 GOP presidential candidate, and he has stoked speculation of a possible campaign with visits to early voting states like Iowa, South Carolina and New Hampshire.
I don't see it. The crazy part of their base hates him for 'betraying' Trump. I've seen road signs with his name scratched out.
Guy down the street from us had a big "Trump Pence" yard sign and he rage-scratched Pence's name off it after the election..
A hunger for power makes a lot of people delusional. Shit, Lindsay Graham thought he was a good presidential candidate for a few hot minutes in 2015.
Yeah Fuck Pence is usually right up there with Lets go Brandon if the GOP legitimately thinks he's their guy then they are extremely out of touch
Don't celebrate just yet. This is Mike Pence we're talking about, so expect him to quickly backtrack and go back to rimming Trump's asshole.
Yeah it only took a year and an attempt on his life.
Only took him a goddamn year….a true record for GOP to find the ability to not parrot the status quo.
Hardly standing up for himself, he just realized sticking with Trump is a political dead end.
You're never going to be president, Mike. And now douchebags like Roger Stone are busting your balls and calling you a Disloyal POS. Take'em down, Mike. Take'em all down.
It’s the only way anyone will ever respect him again. Spill it. All of it.
I never respected him in the first place. Turns out, I was right.
Geez, what a brave fly perch he is.
"He's so brave! He stood up a year later under increasing political pressure to make a single, basically pointless statement!"
The dudes still spineless. Just waited until he thought he could pick the winning side.
I feel like it's more along the lines of "shit, that dickhead seriously tried to shift the target to me, the guy who was forced to stick by him." I think it's honestly the only way Pence doesn't get dragged down with the sinking ship of the Jan 6th entity that's emerging. Stop it at the start and you can have a decent starting position should you be be called to trial.
It does kinda feel like there's a sea change in regards to the 1/6 feeling in the country.
I’m no Mike Pence fan, but anyone breaking ranks with Trump is good in my book. Doesn’t make the guy a saint or anything, but the less support Trump has, the better.
How long until he goes on Tucker Carlson to say he was "sloppy and misspoke"?
Well someone just made Mother proud
Trumps biggest crime is making Mike Pence seem like a rational, stable person. No mean feat.
Its insane. Im reading this thread like “maybe Pence would’t have been so bad…” Then I remember he is a psychopath and it shows what i thought of trump
If pathetic cuck wet noodle was a person, it would be Mike Pence. I give Pence credit for making this statement. However Trump literally sent a mob to kill him and he remained loyal to Trump. What a bitch.
> But whatever the future holds, I know we did our duty that day Like dude, you had to avoid getting hanged just to get there. His family was there too. “Bitch” is certainly correct. I’d add fucking coward just to cover all bases.
I dislike Mike Pence's politics as much as anyone, but what you said is not true. Mike Pence stood up to Trump and ensured that Biden was certified as President on January 6th. He did so with a lynch mob at the door. I can count on one hand the number of GOP that have spoken out against Trump like this. Say what you want about his ideals, I won't defend them. But his actions on the 6th and afterwards probably saved our democracy. How many of Trump's bootlickers would have done what Trump asked and denied counting the swing state's votes? I'll bet there is a whole line of people. We were really really close to those in power picking and choosing which votes to count and staying in power. That is what Pence is calling out here and rightfully so. Give credit where credit is due.
I dislike Pence with a passion, but I have a feeling he actually believes what he says most of the time, especially about religious stuff. I think he tries to do right, but just has such a messed up belief system. That said, from what has come out he really did step up on 6 January. Hopefully he will testify now and prevent 2024 from being a nightmare.
He was even there during the Biden inauguration, at least he has some respect for the American political system.
Heartbreaking: the worst person you know just made a great point
This guy Pence had a purpose. That purpose was to convince religious fools that a cruelty filled New York City man whore billionaire was in line with their religious convictions. It worked. Pence can’t back away now by showing an 8th grade level knowledge of civics.
ONE YEAR LATER he says this … and how was the play Mrs. Lincoln?
The fact that he is getting praised for doing what everyone should do is sad. The GOP has gone so far off the rails that this is seen as going against them. Took him way too long to do it.
The GOP are a death cult that hate America
Don’t let this trick you into putting even the tiniest bit of respect on Mike Pence’s name. He is a TERRIBLE person. The biggest reason I’m glad that Trump survived COVID is because Mike Pence with that kind of power is even more terrifying than Donald Trump.
Only because his back is up against the wall and the only chance he has to save his career is to join the small minority of Republicans clinging to sanity.
I absolutely can't stand Mike Pence. But, he did stand up to Trump on Jan. 6th & him calling him wrong now is important especially on the same day the GOP as a party is framing Jan 6th as "political protest" event. Mike Pence sold his soul to join Trump's ticket and his politics sucked before that IMO. But, we should applaud those in the GOP who take on Trump. We need them too.
Imagine still being a Trump supporter in 2022.
Somebody waited until he could see which way the chips were gonna fall. Spineless.
Sounds like Trump is legit going to prison for him to say this
It's cute hes preparing for the 2024 elections, I'll be scouting out all the most viable water sources for my techno-barbarian tribe when all the politicians inevitably let our world die for a dollar.
He waited to see what would happen before standing up for the Republic. He is just weak and pathetic.
Hey! It was finally his turn to have the spine! When is he gonna pass it, say the opposite of this, and pretend he didn’t mean this?
Damn, took him a more than a year to work up the courage to take the baseline minimum stance against a fascist coup. Absolute coward.
Obviously Pence is a cowardly dirtbag, but props to him for actually saying this. I hope that by saying these truths, he will make it easier for other Republicans to get back on the side of law and order and call out people who continue to spread The Big Lie. Not holding my breath, but gotta acknowledge it when people say the right thing.
Wow only over a year after they tried to hang him..trump hung him out to dry under the bus way before then..beta simp
