Trump SOP.

No surprise that Trump would behave this way.
Is Pence so easily manipulated? Or if he did bargain, what could he have demanded in return?

If Pence had invoked the 25th Amendment he might have been a patriot. That ship has sailed.
It looks like one of the few Republicans to have a pair is Liz Chaney!

And by not 25th-ing this asshole, Pence sealed the deal.

I was thinking this as well, but I think you said it very well.

Well, this way, at least Pence can’t be counted on to pardon the motherfucker once he’s out of office.

I think we all know that Pence occupies the same position on the mendacity scale as Trump but he’s not near as stupid. History would NOT judge him as a hero if he did as Trump asked. Trump would but history would record him as a seditious renegade. I don’t thin k Pence has any future in American politics but it seems he does and was looking out for that. Pence must be morose over his choice to be Trump’s veep. It was supposed to launch him into conservative superhero status but will leave him spent and a pariah.

Pence delivered the ultimate insult to Trump. By deflecting his most aggressive sales pitches, the most loyal soldier told Trump that he’s full of shit. I am surprised that Pence doesn’t see the continuing risk to his life. Trump, to the extent he has any power to do so, will reserve most of his ire for Pence. Even after he leaves office, Trump will still have a mob at his disposal. Pence really isn’t safe. He should be working with the Dems to end his political career and put him on a path to prosecution and prison. Pence made a mistake by not invoking 25A.

And then he popped a TicTac and grabbed him.

I have a feeling that in the final analysis, Pence will be neither. He’s done just enough to clear the Pussy bar, but he is in no way a Patriot.

We shouldn’t call him a coward in my opinion. He isn’t. He did the right thing when it mattered.

Trump is actually correct.
Pence chose the latter.

The Washington Post has an interesting piece by Christopher Ingraham that makes the case for political scientists labeling Trump’s efforts since the election as an autogolpe (self-coup). Here is the definition:
To that end, there’s an obscure term of art that seems particularly apt for describing the anti-democratic actions undertaken by Trump and his allies since the 2020 presidential election was decisively called for Joe Biden: an autogolpe, or “self-coup” in English.
A self-coup happens when a head of government, like a president or prime minister, attempts to seize extraordinary control over that government from within. That could mean suspending the Constitution, for instance, dissolving a legislative body or overturning the results of an otherwise free and fair election.
Seems on the money to me.

Mike Pence has never been a patriot, and he’s always been a pu**y. So what’s the point, Fat Ass?

Thanks for elaborating. I appreciate it.
Which right thing did he do?

Trump reads Betas like Pence like a book. A real man would have gut-punched Trump for calling him a “pussy.”
Pence is a weak, spineless, groveling pussy, whether he crossed that final line with BLOTUS or not.
History will not forget his sniveling sycophancy.
