Pence, of course, is not treating patients sick with a COVID-19 infection.

Though he is, quite likely, treating them to a COVID-19 infection.

Congratulations, Mr. Pence. Here’s your toilet brush. You get 20 minutes for lunch. You only get paid for the whole hour, so be on time.

So I guess a fireman that was exposed to COVID on his job could lay claim to being essential, then go DJ a children’s birthday party?

Has the Lincoln Project gone after Pence directly? I haven’t seen anything but if anyone in Trump’s orbit deserves a good thrashing LP style it’s this sycophantic hypocrite.

He’s no more essential than a plastic bag and far more worthless.

Pence is against abortion but aiding in our deaths after we are born seems to be high on his agenda.

But, did Mother give Pence permission to be an essential worker?

Really. Any more brain dead and we’ll need to start watering him twice a week.

Another example of the epic fail of the pro-life movement.

If these people were truly pro-life, they would wear a mask without hesitation. They don’t. They’re hypocrites and I have no time for them or their whinging.

Essential worker??? IIRC, the Vice Presidency has been likened to “a bucket of warm spit.”

Not to mention Biden is whupping their asses and doing so remotely.

Those ghouls can f_ck all the way off.

When you see headlines like this, you realize that it is beginning to sink in on these people that they may have been involved in the greatest case of medical malpractice in US history. For example, the Tuskegee Study is often held up as an evil use of science. But the non-scientific approach of this administration makes Tuskegee pale in comparison. Remember, if we had just followed the same rules as Finland, the US death toll would be around 22,000 and cases in the current second-wave autumn outbreak would be around 9,000-12,000 a day. If we take the number of people Pence and Trump have killed through their deliberate, willful and purposeful ignorant approach, 200,000 deaths at present is not unfair. And that’s not holding them to a higher Japanese, South Korean, Chinese, or Singaporean standard.

I think it is fair to take the names of all the coconspirators in the massive kill-off, so at least the names of all the rats that jumped ship are known. None of these people should ever be allowed to work in the health cars sector ever again.

If Biden had been President during this mankind would be extinct. It’s true. I saw it on the internet. Next to the Chicklets.

Vice President of the US is the most useless position, where does he get that he is essential?

To be fair, he is essentially useless.

I can buy the argument that Pence is an essential worker but don’t see what campaigning for his job has to do with actually doing his job. The office of the VP is essential to the public, not his campaign for it. Basically this:
“Campaigning is not even an official part of Pence’s duties as Vice President, Lawrence Gostin, a public health expert at Georgetown University law school, pointed out.”
