Discussion: Pence's Greeting From Trump To International Conference Met With Dead Silence

There once was a man named Pence
who was really really dense
His fortunes did plummet
when he went to the summit
and all he could say was nonsense.

Greetings?

Now I know what Bill Pullman’s character felt like in “Independence Day.”

I liked watching him read the part in his notes that said “Leave time for applause.” That seemed to take up the 4 seconds.

As someone posted, Munich knows a dictator when they see one. That reminded of an SNL skit with the adorable Seth Meyers … The Scientologists were claiming discrimination upon them by the German government for some of their shenanigans … said Seth, “look, when the German government is discriminating against you based on your religion, you’ll know it.”

Not really on point, but thought it was a funny recollection tangentially related.

I know how near our Allies are to Russia.

Pence would have to be monumentally stupid to even consent to such a trip

They know who and what Trump is. Well bred, urbane contempt is the best he can hope for from that crowd.

Would? You’re too kind.

I’m convinced this doesn’t end until recordings come out. It’s what did it for Nixon and they can be put on endless loop until even his densest followers have to admit the conspiracy is real.

The good news is that I’m absolutely convinced they exist - they’re just too easy to make with today’s technology and these people collectively and individually are too stoopid to organize a garage sale, let alone a worldwide conspiracy and cover up.

There are bad actors helping them, but not one of these dohickies can resist licking their finger and sticking it in the light socket. We’ll get 'em all eventually…

“Oh Lordy, please let there be tapes…”

Nice that Trump is getting his due, but let’s not forget he’s the President of the United States. What does it say about the damage he’s done to our nation on the international stage? It’s nauseating and damn scary once you stop cheering.

This is the approach people should be taking. Total silence.
I would argue that there shouldn’t even be ANY applause.

We are so fucked. No one will ever trust us for 2 or more generations.

I used to explain to fellow Latinos about Europe versus the U.S.in terms of size and language… Europe and the closeness of frontiers and necessity of language (and culture) learning .

Pence has had every opportunity to broaden his perspective.

Instead, he, literally, is in the “I help people limit their perspectives” business. He is good at it and it got him to where he is today.

The perfect person to send to Europe for an outreach mission.

I think we’ll be okay once Trump is gone. Most people realize that the Russian coup is supported by only a minority of Americans. In addition, there is more democratic fervor among the general ;population than was shown in 2016.

Pence then blurted out “I want to be a REAL boy!”

These people (Trump, Pence, et al.) don’t realize that it’s only their brutally sadomasochistic base that is eager to hear their lies and is not offended by the insult lying pays to the intelligence of the listener.

What, not a single boo? Or hiss? We have a ways to go clearly.
