Pence is a fool. He can’t be fired by the President. If he doesn’t start speaking up against some of the more boneheaded, irrational and frankly frighteningly insane things Trump says and does, he will be tarred and feathered with all that shit when he becomes President. And that day is coming…at some point in the near future. He carries the Trump Taint with him right now wherever he goes as far as I’m concerned.
What does “hold accountable” even mean? What about the EU? What about Trump’s support for far-right political figures intent on destroying European political unity with full Russian backing? What about Russian interference with European elections? What about the fact that Pence lacks even ostensible authority to speak on behalf of the US administration since he is, by his own assertion, not privy to the administration’s most crucial national security activity?
This is a total fucking shambles.
Speak up louder, dummy. There are Dutch families whose loved ones were shot down by Russian scumbags that can’t hear you.
Why would we believe him, any more than we believe anything from this administration.
With special guest chef Paula Deen!
BTW, you “fiscal conservatives”, feel free to open your mouths about this public bilking of taxpayer funds. Obama’s $97 million over 8 years to the unfit, incompetent fraud’s $10 million in four weeks is exactly the kind of out of control government spending you often lecture everyone about.
More like flim and flam.
Totally agree. Pence, like Trump but in a different way, is out of his element. He should consider a more fitting career, e.g. the opening act for a cadaver.
I have the feeling the main reason he’s in Europe is not because he has something substantive to offer, but to avoid the clownish pep rally Trump has scheduled for today.
The amiable and the dunce.
I’d rather call it his Bunker, where he remains for the rest of his days.
Gosh, I hope there was a restroom Trump’s pale Veep could use and feel safe from unusual Euro genders…
Or maybe it’s that Trump has no interesting in standing by the canapé table in a Munich conference center getting asked questions like “I was wondering how you see the future of the Sforzando Accords in light of the recent announcement by Schicklgruber GmBH” and he’s thinking “I have no idea what this person is talking about.” As delusional as he is, he seems to instinctively avoid that sort of thing. And, of course, no interest in policy or the world outside his skull.
Trump must have meatloaf.
'Murcan Meatloaf! None of that Yur-peen terrine!
“And where’s the ranch dressing?”
New money always asks for ranch dressing.
Liar.
Very true. He’s an empty vessel who doesn’t know much about anything beyond his self interest. Which is why people climb over each other to get the last word with him.
Holding a pep rally in sunny Florida while a major, important conference is going on in cold, gray Munich is an apt metaphor.
Conferees wondered why Pence was traveling with a Syrian refugee until “Mrs. Pence” was whispered in ears.
I was thinking more along the line of Tweedle Dee(mented) and Tweedle Dum(b).
@pshah It’s going to be thrilling to be in Orlando at the opening day of his 2020 campaign. Not to be missed.
@irasdad Years ago when I was in London at the Harrod’s department store, just browsing among all the luxe goods, Dame Edna led her entourage through the section of the store I was in. She waved, blew kisses, she wore purple, and it was grand.
