So Pence’s political career ends in a synchophantic whimper and not a Patriotic Bang. Too bad, but he likely has a bright future as a Funeral Director in southern Indiana.

So the 25th amendment of the US constitution is not, in Pence’s words, in “the spirit of the constitution”. Mmm-hmm. Coward isn’t even trying to make sense.

The Quickening … Why?

Watch what Little Mikey does with his power in just a few short days. Watch.

I mean, at the very least, gotta get those adulterated Census numbers signed so Biden can’t do much about it, right? And of course, he’ll pardon Trump.

One can make a reasonable argument that when written a 25th removal was intended for physical incapacitance situations, such as a comatose president with little chance of recovery. Or one on a ventilator. Barking mad with NPD decompensation and sending a lynch mob to kill members of congress doesn’t count.

And so ends any hope for a political future for this man.

Hope he enjoyed his time in the sun, because a full eclipse is coming for the rest of his life.
