and that some in the media are speaking more favorably of him for behaving in a relatively human-ish way. Trump can't fire Pence because he was elected, but he can sideline him if he isn't careful. VPs have no constitutional functions other than to stand by in case the president is incapacitated or dead, and to break a tie in the Senate. Trump could consign Pence to the official-funeral detail to keep him out of the media.

Anyone who doesn't think "President Pence" was the far right's endgame all along wasn't paying attention.

I am so offended by the line they have crossed. Next time Pence preys (yup, PREYS) in public there should be a representative of each and every religion on Earth who can insist he be inclusive of all religions and say a prayer for each of them. Oh, and have something appropriate to say on behalf of atheists as well.

Grrr

(Speaking of which, what was the point of Abbot's baby story?)

Isn't that supposed to be a sin? Being prideful?

I don't have a clue what the point was.

than Trump did (of course, nobody could be worse at that than Trump). He's sticking his foot in the door to the presidency, and he's probably got a tape measure in his back pocket, waiting for a chance to measure for new drapes in the Oval Office.

Replacing Trump with this religious wacko? Please gawd, let Mueller find enough shit to take down both of 'em!

They're doing this in hopes of ending the investigations into everyone in the admin. My prediction is that trump fires Mueller and then bows out, hoping that causes the investigations to end.
