Honestly, I would not be sad if Trump continued ruining Pence’s supposed political career. That guy is way too sleazy to be in charge of anything.

Pence was already brain dead even before Trump entered politics. The coward backing down on his gay persecution policies, ruined his street cred.

Do you remember the Mike Pence from before Trump? Neither do I. Now that Pence isn’t fluffing Trump on a daily basis, lets let him return to that state.

Donald Trump is morally bankrupt. Mike Pence is morally bankrupt. Conclusion: They are both morally bankrupt and deserve one another.

How can Pence think of himself as a good Christian when he is willing to lie about anything and everything to further his career? He knew a crime was being committed in his presence, but to this day he will not tell the truth about what occurred. He swore an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies, but tried very hard to find a way to go along to destroy our American democracy. People like him are beyond contempt. He is a very dishonest coward. He will not be missed. Agnew was financially corrupt. Pence is morally corrupt.

Pence apparently has not yet figured this out. But it was obvious on Jan 6. How can a politician be so blind? Being 90% corrupt is insufficient for Trump. A better strategy would have been to recognize this, and lay out the entire enterprise of electoral corruption from that point.

I’d say Trump at least is way beyond morally bankrupt. That implies an indifference to morality, a willingness to act without moral constraints. But in fact Trump is positively inclined toward evil—toward hurting people and destroying things. That’s what brings him pleasure. Instead of morally bankrupt I’d describe him as immorally wealthy.

On the “good Christian” question, it’s simple once you go fundamentalist. When you’re right and everybody else is wrong, it turns out God gives you a pass on lying. Says right there in the Bible. Right here in the book of… just gimme a sec… it’s here somewhere…
