    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?

      Also, for anyone who thinks that maybe it was a spontaneous act, it wasn’t. Everyone in the Secret Service and the television network knew what was coming.

        Oh yeah, everyone knew exactly why he was there. It was a thoroughly choreographed racist hissy fit.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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
