    Makes sense, I wouldn’t endorse anyone who wanted to murder me either.

    Doesn’t change the fact he refused to fully cooperate with investigations of Trump’s actions on and before 1/6.

    Mike Pence will forever be a coward.

    This just in: Victim of leopard mauling says he won’t give leopard second helping.

    Fuck this guy. I’m not giving him credit for not being a completely horrible person when he has been a horrible person. He hasn’t learned anything, made amends, etc. He just doesn’t want the person who put hundreds of people on a mission for his head to have total power.

    Everyone’s (rightly) focusing on 1/6 so I’ll go a different route and mention what I think was Pence’s biggest moment of public humiliation and utter servility as VP:

    Remember back in 2017 when Trump made Mike Pence to go to that Colts v. 49ers game then throw a racist temper tantrum and storm out when players took a knee during the national anthem? Lmao

    How’d selling your soul to be Trump’s VP work out for ya there Pence-y boy? Really gave your political career a boost, eh?

    Imagine if you will you have a direct communication link with God. He tells ya, “You’re gonna be the prez of the US, Mikey.” And then this orange turd of human being says, “Be my vice prez, and you’ll be one heart attack way from the Oval Office.” All you have to do is give up the entire moral structure you’ve based your life around. But God said it would happen, right?

    Then the bronze shit stain tries to get you killed because you have one, single, last thread of what you were that even God himself wouldn’t ask for you to give up. But still there’s that hope. “But God said…” So you hang on while the golden idol’s flying monkeys boo you every time you step in front of a crowd. You hang onto hope until finally you realize what you thought was God --in fact-- was your own inner dialog bouncing around the insides of your cavernous skull.

    That’s why Pence, after it was all said and done, finally won’t endorse the antichrist.

      it’s a shame he didn’t have this opinion a bit earlier… say… Jan 2021?

      it’s “nice” that he said that, but… too little too late dude

        There’s no spine left to lose. Trump stirred up the mob against him, and there’s no way Republican voters are going to forgive him for what they perceive as a slight against their cause.

        If he was actually smart he’d just flip sides completely. Throw it all out there.

    I’m seeing a bunch of people who haven’t learned from the last 50 years. He doesn’t endorse him now. He will when he’s named nominee.

      This is the comment. News like this propagates the way it’s supposed to on social media without enough people pointing out this happens time and time again

        Doesn’t matter. Repugnicans fall in line behind their demagogue only once they have no other path to remain in the good graces of the party.

          So you’re saying he’ll sacrifice himself to the group at a severe risk to his personal safety?

    Pence knew what Trump was planning. He even went to former Vice President Dan Quayle for advice.

    All Pence had to do was go on some of the national news shows and personally tell the public that Trump had lost and that Biden would be sworn in not matter what.

        Two thoughts.

        Yes, he picked a man known as an idiot to decide the fate of the Republic.

        Compared to most of the current GOP, Quayle stands like a colossus

    Media: Mr. Pence, will you be endorsing Trump in 2024?

    Pence: No. Wait yes… maybe? Wait… yeeee-no. No. Yeah I’m sure. Yes. I mean no. No.

    It’s mildly interesting to consider how many people Trump has near-literally shat on just for them to open their mouths and say yes please after. Why not Pence? This can’t be a spine, right?

    I almost forgot about Mike Pence. The only thing I remember about him is I thought he was well spoken. I didn’t agree with anything he said but I liked his voice for some reason.
