"Donald Trump, with his feral cunning, knew. The oleaginous Mike Pence, with his talent for toadyism and appetite for obsequiousness, could, Trump knew, become America’s most repulsive public figure. And Pence, who has reached this pinnacle by dethroning his benefactor, is augmenting the public stock of useful knowledge. Because his is the authentic voice of today’s lickspittle Republican Party, he clarifies this year’s elections: Vote Republican to ratify groveling as governing." – George Will, May 9, 2018

I believe the copy of the memo that Pence reportedly read included a direct quote from Jesus stating that Whitey should not abandon The Second Coming of God.

Even when I have disagreed with Will’s opinions (pretty much always until recently), I have admired his turn of phrase.

Tocqueville nailed it with his “tyranny of the majority”; except the “majority” was the electoral college, not the voters. The US has been under siege since Jan 20, 2017 and the orange tyrant/baby is trying for a redux. God help us.

Oleaginous, toadyism, obsequiousness and repulsive in a single sentence. Impressive, even for George Will.

Look into pence’s eyes; there’s nothing there; like staring into the abyss.
Mirror of the soul? … there is none there.

Qtip is in trouble with the true believers who are not happy about the Christians in the ME, nor the risks for Israel.

He tried to be clever, qualifying his first answer with “in my office” – and then just says to himself:

“Screw it, I’ll just say something so general that it doesn’t actually commit me to anything. They’ll never catch nimble Pency, nimble Pency will elude those wicked hobbitses!”

I want someone to ask him why he is lying to them - blatant lies right to their faces.

I mean c’mon, this administration’s members have NO credibility. It’s time to stop the pretence that they do or that they can possibly be ignorant of what everyone in the general public already knows.
