The republicans were the cause, Trump is the end result of years of dishonesty and corruption. They created this monstrosity and like Frankenstein, now they can't control it.

Author was on CNN this am. He said they were broke and Karen said they needed cash. The inaugural committee tax forms show a $750k donation to the VP property. For "restoration"? Hmmmm. They don't strike me as people who walk into the VP property and say "what a shithole" we need to redecorate.

A brochure from Mike Pence’s 1988 House race, the first of two election defeats that helped shape Pence’s future political image. (Congressman Philip R. Sharp Papers/Ball State University Libraries)
Mike Pence was a young lawyer on the rise, challenging a longtime Democratic congressman in a Republican-leaning Indiana district.

And then, scandal.


Campaign finance records from the 1990 effort showed that Pence, then 31, had been using political donations to pay the mortgage on his house, his personal credit card bill, groceries, golf tournament fees and car payments for his wife.

The spending had not been illegal at the time. But it stunned voters — and undermined Pence’s strategy to portray the incumbent, Rep. Philip R. Sharp, as tainted by donations from special-interest political action committees.

Pence's dirty laundry when dip selected him. Jeez our candidates, if they ever illegally tore a tag off a pillow, get reamed. We need a savvy media running some PR asap.

It's interesting to think about what would happen if miraculously trump wasn't running in 2020. For sure Pence would run I guess.

wasn't mentioned. Biggest expense sounded like Quayle adding a swimming pool. Although they mention that the public can donate to the decorating fund. Surely there's a living expense stipend? Plus his salary. Why did he need $750k?

Ha..only thing it mentions about the Pences is that Karen added beehives!!!!

https://www.businessinsider.com/margaret-atwoods-pigoons-are-starting-to-become-reality-2016-6

A freaky prediction about pigs in a popular sci-fi trilogy is starting to come true

In Margaret Atwood's Flood Trilogy— a speculative fiction series about scientific advancement spiraling out of control and ending civilization — genetically engineered pigs called "pigoons" roam a post-apocalyptic Earth. Before humans mostly disappeared, the animals were raised to grow bespoke organs for transplantation into people. [snip]

How far down, past Cronyn and Nunes and McCarthy does this rot go.

We have the direct rot and then we have the enablers.

Those are the party. Their goal is a fundamental change to America without changing the Constitution.

They are a terrorist organization which instills fear in our citizens.

Only they can protect us! BULLSHIT!!!

To the gulag of Cuba with them all.
