Agreed. Even if there is “doubt” about Pence’s power, he should exercise it and see where the chips fall.

To abdicate is a low energy, swamp rat move.

He also didn’t give up the ship.

Congress ran out like rats fleeing a sinking ship.

But they’re “heroes” for doing so - while killing someone in the process.

Honk honk.

Hey Mike - you a time traveler? December 7, 2021?

Idk what is extreme about storming the capitol. We were founded on acts of rebellion, not acts of negotiation.

Yes. Because all life is sacred.

Same guy taking HD photos of people sitting in the speakers chair. It’s all way too suspicious for me.

You don’t want the Google campus. You want their server farms.

Mr. Smith goes to Washington.

This dude has my vote any time in the future. He has a brain, and a spine.

Then at 4AM I expect people in cuffs. Just like they did with Stone.

I thought there’d be more to today. All we got were some shitty photo ops.

And while we’re at it: isn’t it a little sus that everyone fled the Capitol except for photogs with their HD cameras, who could show us raiders sitting in the speakers chair?

You still play the hand you’re dealt. If that’s what the legislatures did, force them to reconcile the vote with the certification, before the entire nation.

You don’t Cuck out and say “Aww geeze, above my pay grade.”

Yep. He committed career suicide.

I wrote this last night : “He has one hand to play: maga. He can cement his role in the movement and set his own sights on 2024. If he doesn’t play that hand, no one who voted for Trump will ever vote for him - and Dems will gleefully watch his career die.”

What path remains besides the military?

I believed he would say “Fix your shit” to the disputed states.

Instead, he rubber stamped it and said “Above my pay grade.” Typical swamp rat garbage.

Guy I work with showed me pics of the storming of the capitol and said “Is this what America is about?”

I said “ Yeah. In fact, we were founded on actions like this.”

I believe so. He could have caused his own form of disruption today - which would have been very good.

Instead, he decided “eh, I don’t have the power. I’ll do whatever they tell me to.”

Good. Damn traitor.

I disagree. There is reason to believe the VP has the ability to disregard non-conforming votes. Look into the Election of 1800.

Pence had nothing to lose by TRYING to exercise the power. Instead, he decided to destroy his own political career.

Lin doesn’t really give us hopium. A Day or two ago, he was telling us exactly what Pence did today.

Make of it what you will.

Lol. I saw the new SAT and asked “ok, what test do they give the non-slow kids?”

One of the biggest reasons our founders didn’t want a standing army.

I won’t lie. I was floored by this.

I saw Pence as having one hand to play to keep his career alive.

Instead, he chose to punt - enraging his supporters and destroying his career.

20 years from now, the election fraud will be fully acknowledged and politicians will just say “yeah, that was wrong. We’ve gotten better since then.”

That video perked me up about Q. Before then, I completely discounted it.

Today, I have no idea what to make of it.

Well, if there is a second Trump term, it sure as hell better be without Pence.

Dude didn’t even try when the chips were down.
