I wonder if an afternoon snack was served.
#BREAKING:#Maddow showed a stunning picture showing former VP #Pence's wife Karen, shutting the window curtains so that Trump's insurrectionist THUGS, by this time within her eyesight, do not see her husband.
WOW. That's how close the "hang Mike Pence" crowd came.

Tell your children not to hear my words

Can you hide them from the waiting world?

Not about to see your light

(6,017 posts)And that's where our political discourse nomenclature gets completely screwed up.
"conservative" = resistant to quick change in how society works.
"progressive" = willing to inflict chaos to put change into place quickly, to "progress" to the sort of society they want.
Technically, Republicans are Right-progressive. Democrats are centrist-conservative, leaning toward left-conservative.
That the terms are applied and used opposite their meaning in everyday speech only serves to muddy the waters as much as terms like Milton Friedman's mid-century "neo-liberalism" aka Reaganomics.

(4,921 posts)The lengths some will go here to vilify the progressive wing of the party. Trump isn't a progressive for fuck's sake.
NullTuples
(6,017 posts)And to be clear, I'd take a entire party of liberal, progressive Democrats over anything else, if that's what you are referring to.
Cosmocat
(14,566 posts)All the shit they spewed for decades was prettying up what they REALLY care about.
They NEVER were the "party of family values" or "fiscal conservatives" or "strict constitutionalists."
That was just them counterfeiting things that people care about to make their rubes feel superior and the idiot media to treat them as being more serious than they were.
He scrapped the varnish off of "conservatism" and made it OK to be more overt about it.
There is a reason is he has the highest approval among evangelicals, and got more votes than any other R president.
He is their touchstone.

(39,343 posts)I don't recall when I knew that he wasn't going to do their thing, yet they entered the area screaming "hang mike pence".
Were those orders given from somewhere outside the march?
wnylib
(21,487 posts)or statement to the effect that he would not comply with Trump's plan. AFAIK this was not a secret, confiddntial statement, but the mob at the Capitol would not have known about it. Too busy attacking Capitol police.
Then Trump tweeted about Pence refusing to help save the election and how disappointed he was with Pence. Several members of the groups attacking the Capitol were checking their Twitter feeds and announced to the mob that Pence was a traitor.
The rest is history.

(32,645 posts)... because Mike Pence refused to get into the getaway car with secret service agents he didn't know. Their plan was to take him away from the Capitol - not to kill him of course, but to keep him from reconvening the electoral confirmation.
If Mike had left the premises with the secret service agents, then Chump probably would have called off the crazy protesters, because then he could get Plan B going. That was their plan to throw out the electoral votes from PA, MI, WI, AZ the swing states and it would have been enough to throw Biden's confirmation into question. In other words it would have been a major FUBAR - which was exactly what Chump wanted.
