This Tuesday, Vice President Mike Pence penned an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal where he claimed that alarm bells about a “second wave” of coronavirus are “overblown” that the Trump administration is “winning the fight” against the ongoing health crisis. But this Friday, the Journal ran a fact check on the very op-ed that itself published, saying that Pence “overstated the amount of coronavirus-related medical equipment distributed by a Trump administration program on multiple occasions, according to public data from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.”

(Article then cites a bunch of numbers in detail)

“The total number of those supplies is about 7%—or one-thirteenth—of the numbers cited in Mr. Pence’s article.”

1. He didn't "overstate", he lied.

5. "Christian??" like him find a way.

I remember Pat Robertson divorcing his first wife a few years back when she fell fully into dementia. His claim was that she could no longer provide spousal services, so that made him breaking his marital vow to her ok. A former Punk Rocker, when faced with the same decision said that his wife was his wife, end of story. There have been men and women who have killed their spouse and themselves when the spouse was lost to dementia, because those people saw no life without that spouse a part of it. I don't approve of murder or suicide, but the devotion of people that did that was infinitely greater than that Robertson showed his first wife.

9. Lying for Jeebuz is a time-honored tradition in the Christian religion.

Endorsed by no less a figure than Martin Luther.

7. This just in....

pence and trump paid a Texas company 7.3 million dollars for Covid testing kit test tubes. That shows real leadership, the only problem is they are actually mini soda bottles that magically (with help from pence's prayer meetings) turn into 2 liter bottles! After thay paid the Texas company their 7.3 million they shipped them out to states that have been begging for test kits. I'm worried that with trump's upcoming rally somebody's "gonna have to go back for a shitload of soda bottles!
