Is Pence really some kind of Russian lab experiment? He seems barely alive and only sentient enough to mimic his master’s every move.

Did I just read a puff piece on Pence?
Too bad.
I’m beyond having any sympathy for him.
The shutdown is simple.
Trump wants his way. He can’t have it, so he will use whatever power he has to try and get it.
If he wins, it is rinse and repeat, he can threaten a shutdown for anything, including removing sanctions on Russia.
There is really no point in negotiating with Trump.
Congress needs to reaffirm that Congress has a role in our democracy.
FFS, send him a budget, if he doesnt sign it, override it.
And there is the problem…Mitch McConnell.

Individual 1 is a mole, a Russian mole. Undermining things is what moles do. The orange rodent is busily tunneling under our entire system of government and institutional structure, destabilizing it and working assiduously for its imminent collapse. So why should the VP be exempt?

What else do sycophants get in the end? Pushed under the limo.

Pence was screwed since day one, yet he hangs on in hopes he can leverage his way to the White House.

I always love how contemptuous these ā€˜moral’ republicans really are.

Progress made, said [Pence].
Not so, said [Spanky].
We’ll meet again, said [Pence].
Waste of time, said [Spanky].

Undermines? And here I read these as Spanky confirming.

Apparently, David Axelrod said that Trump has cut off his VP at the knees so many times that now he’s known as Halfpence.

He has the classical blank expression and wooden demeanor of a Hoosier funeral director.

Having never met any Hoosier funeral directors, I wouldn’t know so I’ll take your word for it.

Pence is a stupid zero, who might be president before long – in which case he’d be angling for militant Christian sharia law.

That’s the funniest thing I’ve heard in ages! :joy::joy::joy:

He’s probably so used to the treatment by now and that’s why you hardly ever hear him say anything, not even ā€œMake America Great Againā€.

Pence once again showing he’s also too chickenshit to do anything. Heck, GOP cowardice is pretty much how we got here. The GOP was too gutless to curb Trump in 2016, McConnell is too gutless to do a veto override, Trump is too gutless to declare an emergency, and Pence is too gutless to stand up to Trump. None of them are leaders and are practically begging for something to save them. It won’t happen, they’re all stuck with this because none of them can make a decision

Which will go nowhere because he will be a place holder, a nonelected president just holding the office until we can elect a legitimate president.

If he becomes President, he’ll be the lamest of lame ducks, terrified of looming sealed indictments, and the GOP will still get the shit kicked out of them in 2020.

ā€œā€œHe’s a good listener,ā€ said Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio. ā€œWhich is a rare quality around here.ā€ā€

He listens so intently, so quietly, they bring a compact mirror to hold in front of his face to see if he is still breathing. If he takes up the Oval Office, he will be called ā€œThe Hearing Presidentā€. Because he hears. When people watch him in action they will ask what he is doing and they will say listening, because he hears things.
