Does Pence have the nuclear football?

A caller to the Stephanie Miller Show noted that he saw video earlier this week on the Rachel Maddow Show of VP Pence moving with his security detail. Caller said that it looked to him as if one of the Pence security guys was carrying the football - he wondered why he was the only one who seemed to notice.

Has anyone heard anything about the nuclear football being taken away from the Orange menace?

If Trump no longer has the football, there's been a coup. And if he still has it, well...

as bad as Pence is, I don't think he would take a chance of starting a nuclear war,
no telling what moron would do.

Don’t get caught up with conspiracy theories.

There’s plenty of real news to focus on.

When the president is at the White House, the football is kept in a secure location there. One of the military aides always is able to retrieve it quickly.

There also is a spare football at the White House, and a third satchel that remains close to the vice president.

I have never ever seen anyone of our Presidents or VP's walking around with the nuclear football before. They had the experience and wisdom to have kept it out of view. Question: Why is this administration showing this image for all to see? I found it very anxiety inducing ... thinking, OMG what in the shitballs is going on? trump and jesus pence ARE trying to send Americans a message, alright. Dotard was showing off at Mara Largo one time, with the football.
