AP: Pence Pleaded For Military To ‘Clear The Capitol’ During Jan. 6 Attack | Talking Points Memo

Puck Fence. With a splintery phone pole. He still hasn’t said anything about his criminal boss.

True enough. When my guy smiles and purrs, I back up because I know from experience his lizard-brain is taking over, and a pounce and a nip is forthcoming.

I am weighing options. Likely just the visitation, going in to make an appearance, and getting out as fast as possible and all masked up. Going to be some hard feelings no matter how it plays out, and them demanding to hold the whole Catholic recipe puts everyone in a tough spot.

I got a whole slew of things happening this last month and in coming weeks - that would have been really nice if events had conspired to wait until May 1 when my 2nd vaccination will have kicked in fully. Job interviews, doctor stuff, funeral, etc. I spent one whole year avoiding COVID, and now when the vaccinated finish line is in view getting forced to make very tough decisions.

I do sympathize. And it’s counter-intuitive–since I got my 2 moderna shots, I go out less and feel trepidation when I do go out. Maybe it’s that dread of fumbling near the end zone.

At the very least, Congress needs a mechanism to enforce its subpoenas. tRump ignored multiple subpoenas and got away with it. That may have been part of encouraging him to insurrection.

Exactly. I used that same phrase talking about this with my son.

Why hasn’t Miller been dragged before a firing squad already? Steven Miller too?

They’re being prosecuted because their dear leader wouldn’t bother to pardon them. Suckers.

Of course, racism is a big part of it, but it would have been there anyway. Rs have been walking around with a Divine Right mindset at least since the Reagan Years, and after 2004 they thought it was the beginning of a 1,000 year reign.

‘we got our asses kicked’, ‘win some lose some’, ‘they’re just not that into us’ were never going to be a R response to losing. Full out psychosis was.

I predict that his whining is going to become less and less a thing for them. He’s out of power and can’t help them any more. He’s too lazy to actually go out and stump for anyone, and there is no way he’s going to spend the money it would require for him to travel all over the country doing rallies. Hell, he hasn’t even gotten his plane flight worthy.

He is going to slowly shrivel up and blow away, with or without indictments.

The Con Man was back to bad-mouthing Pence again yesterday at that Republican party meeting with donors.

Pence should challenge the Russian Mafia hood to a duel. I’ll provide the AR 15 machine guns. Maybe we would get lucky and they would spray the entire audience of GOP officials and knock off not only themselves but most of the Republican party leaders? The dotard might agree if he could get a clear shot at all of his 2024 rivals and McConnell?

Biden could make it a global pay-for-view event. That would insure raising enough money worldwide to pay for the last two Covid stimulus bills and the infrastructure bill.

It’s such a ridiculous proposal that I can see the sociopath going for it. Pence does what he’s told.

I would have loved watching all those Top 1% types sitting calmly through Trump’s latest tirade yesterday, silently kicking themselves for ever getting involved with this dumbbell. He failed at bringing down our democracy once but you know he will try again…and expect them to finance it.

What do you suppose is next on his list? Sending this domestic terrorists to blow up the Statue of Liberty because it symbolizes the immigration of “low class” peoples, especially those of color and other religions?

I can see the MAGA now trying to get to the island, their pleasure cruisers capsizing in their own wakes as Parks Service sharp shooters picks them off one-by-one.

That may be true and is very similar to my prediction after the election. What is so frustrating and unbelievable is that is isn’t affecting Republican officials or voters in any tangible way I would appreciate. That Chump is wholly discredited, that all of his vile shite dries up and eventually blows away, that he crumbles into the obscurity and infamy that he deserves (with or without indictments) is NOT providing the discrediting and disqualification for his adherents that I require. I suppose it was predictable, that no matter how be-slimed the entire Rwing got from the Chump years…even ending with such tremendous shame and horrendous carnage…they brush it right off. The Civil War, Great Depression, Nixon/Watergate, Reagan, Bush II’s depravity and Great Recession, and now Chump (500k dead and an insurrection led from the WH). The proof is in the pudding, we should never expect an awakening or for any drift towards reality.

He was upset for awhile but he was already wearing his monogrammed Presidential kneepads, so, he’s back to his comfort zone.

This is correct and understated. People around here want to conjure up process and system that is able to withstand bad actors wielding power at the highest levels. That’s fundamentally not how any of this works.

Interesting point. Has he travelled at all since the final flight to Merde Au Lac?
