Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsHave you noticed? The very important person that hasn't said a SINGLE word about the Capitol attack:
The Vice-President of the United States, Mike Pence.
HIS OWN FUCKING REPUBLICAN VOTERS stormed the Capitol with the battle-cry to LYNCH him.
Can you imagine what's going through his head right now?
After four years of sucking up to Trump ...
of smiling along ...
of biding his time ...
of convincing himself that selling his soul will be worth it when the Republicans eventually elect him President in 4, or 8, or 12 years...
After all the things he has done for Trump and the GOP, HIS OWN PEOPLE WANT HIM DEAD!
Boy, I gotta tell you: If Mike Pence weren't dead inside, that would really freak him out.

(6,606 posts)...they wanted the votes of his base, & now his base has turned against them. All that butt kissing & it's not going to get them the Trumper vote.

(57,333 posts)... courage to walk back into the White House after he knew Trump had set him and members of his family with him, up. I think I would have done it myself. Purely to reach across the Endeavor desk and mope slap Donnie and challenge him to a duel: vocabulary, history, spelling, Bible verses, Star Trek original series, whatever - Donnie's choice.
But he's no coward. At least not physically. Ethically? Weeeellll ... I think he's more dangerous than Trump if he gets the nod in 2024. He seems harmless and calm.

(9,328 posts)We condemn the violence that took place here in the strongest possible terms. We grieve the loss of life in these hallowed halls, as well as the injuries suffered by those who defended our Capitol today. And we will always be grateful to the men and women who stayed at their posts to defend this historic place.
To those who wreaked havoc in our Capitol today, you did not win. Violence never wins. Freedom wins. And this is still the people's house. And as we reconvene in this chamber, the world will again witness the resilience and strength of our democracy, for even in the wake of unprecedented violence and vandalism at this Capitol, the elected representatives of the people of the United States have assembled again on the very same day to support and defend the Constitution of the United States.
So may God bless the lost, the injured and the heroes forged on this day. May God bless all who serve here and those who protect this place. And may god bless the United States of America.
Let's get back to work.

(991 posts)I also read that after the capitol was cleared, security was looking for somewhere else to reconvene the session and Pence insisted that it had to be at the capitol to show the strength of the government.
Pence has been smacked down by Trump but he has committed to attend the inauguration and today he call Harris to congratulate her.

Praying he can exit the Trump scene in one piece and that they don't ask him too many questions at the trials.

(8 posts)I cant help but think of Pence as Wayland Smithers from The Simpsons, whose love for his boss is continually thwarted.

(1,204 posts)just repeating/rephrasing a comment I read, If Pence had a some personality, he might have become a funeral director.
