How can you applaud someone just doing their constitutionally mandated job?

Particularly when he only has his beady little eyes on 2024?

I can’t…

Pence is merely doing his duty according to the U.S. Constitution and remains, by his historical behavior, an unrepentant lickspittle.

Sadly this will probably ensure Pence’s future election to POTUS.

Pence’s act qualifies as Profiles in Courage if we expand the meaning to “doing your fucking job.”

I’m in Indiana, but this is the county seat, and I’ll bet the nutters are at the courthouse–and I’d need to pass it.

Pence had no future in Indiana politics and being picked as Veep was a god send. He has no future in politics anywhere in any state as anything
