    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.

    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 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.

    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.

      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.

    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?

          Yeah, but they still need to be elected and can’t piss off the trump cult. Pence is almost 65 and after his dismal showing in the primaries has probably decided to quit politics. So he has a little more leeway to speak out.

            Mitch McConell is 82, can comfortably expect re-election indefinitely, faced just as much threats by the MAGAts during J6, and is still endorsing Trump.

            I’m not one to say that Mike Pence is a good person, but he’s taking an unpopular step against his party on his own principles. It’s kind of “a broken clock is right twice a day,” but I will applaud a shitty person standing up to a really shitty person.

      A spine would make him endorse Biden, this is more of “he actually tried to murder me, I won’t endorse anyone then”.
