Now that’s what I call an argument 😂😂😂

uchusky23.com•221 days ago

You know what? The enemy of my enemy is my friend. I don’t agree with his logic but if it cranks up the pressure whatever. I obviously think his abortion stance is the least of our worries

crystallineentity.bsky.social•221 days ago

Was thinking the same. If this is the only angle that potentially resonates, so be it.

roadtrippingcat.bsky.social•221 days ago

But fuck little kids dying from polio or measles. Imiright?

sweetfreedom.bsky.social•221 days ago

At this rate, the party is going to eat itself before Inauguration Day.

shc0612.bsky.social•221 days ago

That’s his issue? Not that RFK is an ant vaxer, conspiracy theorist whackjob? Come on Mike; do better.

tiny-direwolf.bsky.social•221 days ago

So it’s not the insane vaccination conspiracies it’s giving women control over their bodies. Got it.

johncryan.bsky.social•221 days ago

OMFG, all these Republicans have mush for brains.

lb407216.bsky.social•221 days ago

I don't care why they block wormboy. Just block him.

lmarson05.bsky.social•221 days ago

That's Pence's biggest worry?

cirrus18.bsky.social•221 days ago

Wait…what? THAT’S his issue? 🤦‍♀️

elonsmicropenis.bsky.social•221 days ago

Donald Trump and Elon Musk just perpetuated the greatest propaganda scheme in history. The only way to fix that is to do it better and we must start immediately. Do what they did times 100.

mateofrompa.bsky.social•221 days ago

Watching Christian conservatives kick Pence to the curb in favor of a sleazy, adulterous, trust-fund elitist from NYC who was besties with Epstein & is liable for rape is VERY on brand for them.

Growing up around fundies, their love of Trump came as no surprise to me.

yogi2024.bsky.social•221 days ago

RFK can’t wait to kill your families by denial and Republican policies

hellohurrayitshere.bsky.social•221 days ago

I’m grateful to Pence for standing by the rule of law on J6. Other than that he’s as useless Susan Collins & Merrick Garland. They all conjure an image of soggy limp dishrags in my mind.

hopefordemocracy.bsky.social•221 days ago

God forbid they should reject him because of his crazy science denial.

bob-garner.bsky.social•221 days ago

Pence has a problem with his position on abortion but not the fact that he’s a raving lunatic

thevincewilsonshow.bsky.social•221 days ago

If Mike Pence is saying this then you should probably listen.

donniepalahnuk.bsky.social•220 days ago

Pence’s pensive penny-whistle pipes putrid puss pockets

spot503.bsky.social•221 days ago

RFK will quickly come out as anti-choice.

Watch.

staidwinnow.bsky.social•220 days ago

Fuck RFK Jr. and the Mike Pence he rode in on!

isaacdickey17.bsky.social•221 days ago

Pretty wild that this is his biggest concern.

rumblydad.bsky.social•220 days ago

But the children suffering and dying from terrible but preventable diseases is maybe a secondary concern Mike? Pro-birth not pro-life.

nancyginga.bsky.social•221 days ago

That’s all these fools care about. Just like it’s all throughout Project 2025. Abortion, abortion, abortion. Never mind all the diseases the agency needs to be concerned with.

jr3597.bsky.social•221 days ago

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 WTF

cowman1970.bsky.social•221 days ago

They are all about to eat each other.

jr3597.bsky.social•221 days ago

The only redeeming thing about this all!

cowman1970.bsky.social•221 days ago

And it will be glorious to watch.

frankgrimesiv.bsky.social•221 days ago

That's the problem this dipshit has with RFK being HHS Secretary?

dijkdes.bsky.social•221 days ago

Yeah THAT’s the problem with RFK 🙄

jenoloughlin.bsky.social•221 days ago

Sigh…

Try “We’ll have a smallpox, polio, rubella and measles outbreak”

melbuns43.bsky.social•221 days ago

That’s The Only Good Thing About Bobby Jr !

chorst12.bsky.social•221 days ago

WOW! Seems Pence grew some. ABOUT TIME!!

feministwild.bsky.social•221 days ago

We really are in an alternate universe.

jenovapurplejuice.bsky.social•220 days ago

I wonder if this is why the old Republican like Pence and Romney etc got hostile takeover by MAGA, and are called RINO by MAGA people, ironically. It's like taking a cross and bible to a circus clown show and yelling "hallelujah". 🤡🤡🤡

garrettjhubbard.bsky.social•221 days ago

Aside from his vaccine conspiracy’s RFK JR should be the model for politicians. Anti corruption, pro health reform, pro immigration reform, pro criminal justice reform, pro choice, pro guns with exceptions, anti wars, pro union/ working class. The problem is all the other crazy he believes

ronsam2.bsky.social•221 days ago

Bro the guy got brain damage from brain worms he admitted it. Not to mention his drug addiction. He doesn't have any medical degrees. Even his family says he's nuts!!

kikihoneydip.bsky.social•221 days ago

That was his reasoning… lmao… no concerns over the Bubonic Plague huh?

masiellodonna.bsky.social•220 days ago

Pence's only concern about Kennedy is abortion. He obviously doesn't give a fuck about all the other ridiculousness he's proposed. No matter what he might have said to the contrary, I'm sure Mikey gave his vote to lardass for president.

jennqueen.bsky.social•221 days ago

Mike Pence is a spineless coward. Occasionally on the right side of history, but a spineless coward.

meghanwalker.bsky.social•221 days ago

Yeah *that’s* the problem with Bobby 🤦‍♀️

captsteverogers.bsky.social•221 days ago

Not the reason I hoped for, but any port in a MAGA storm.

queenthiab.bsky.social•221 days ago

I hope more Republicans join him

mantistobogan.bsky.social•221 days ago

That's his issue? Motherfucker

johncryan.bsky.social•221 days ago

The planet is melting, Trump's picking traitors and lunatics to run things, Pence is all high and mighty with his christo-fascism. Just insane.

crypticplant.bsky.social•221 days ago

Feels tactical to me, as that’s a point that will stick with many Republicans more than him being a loon as most of them are loons too

stephielynn204.bsky.social•221 days ago

Annoying but whatever works to get him rejected!!

perfect1yflawed.bsky.social•221 days ago

It may also be him deliberately enciting a large swath of Trump's base to come out against the nomination.

lulyisoverit.bsky.social•221 days ago

Right?

marie1010.bsky.social•220 days ago

Sounds like Mikey’s trying to tank a nomination.

sassysenior.bsky.social•221 days ago

"Pence speaks!" Unfortunately nobody is listening.

stevengraff.bsky.social•221 days ago

That’s his problem with him? JFC these people

emucr.bsky.social•221 days ago

Seems that Pence’s spine is slowly growing back.

julianaclegg.bsky.social•221 days ago

Strange bedfellows indeed. Whatever works to eject that nut, I guess.

ellathon.bsky.social•221 days ago

This is hilarious. The snake is eating its own tail.

jhfhockey.bsky.social•221 days ago

He's right for the wrong reason but it speaks to a large contingent of the cult in a way we can't.

Chalk it up as a W.

caminosver.bsky.social•220 days ago

Mike Pence should go back to just being quiet.

hotspur95.bsky.social•221 days ago

The stage is set for the Republicans to rip themselves apart now that the loonies are in charge - just like the Tories did in the UK.

kenroth.bsky.social•221 days ago

Oh, please. Pro-abortion is the least of his problems.

marnier.bsky.social•221 days ago

Hey whatever works to keep him out.

blacklabstwo.bsky.social•221 days ago

But kids being slaughtered in their classroom is ok, right Mikey. Eff off again

justjackie1961.bsky.social•221 days ago

Bullshit!

hollyinfrance.bsky.social•221 days ago

But Pence mentions nothing about RFK’s dangerous stances on vaccines & routine/rational healthcare?

truenorthherbals.bsky.social•221 days ago

Of all the reasons…

dizappearingact.bsky.social•221 days ago

So never mind our health, he will allow abortions?

joshuabbb.bsky.social•221 days ago

It's still astounding that Trump tried to murder Mike Pence with an angry mob, and Americans accept that as perfectly normal now.

democracymattered.bsky.social•221 days ago

That's his biggest problem with RFK Jr???

lordhelpus.bsky.social•221 days ago

Mike is getting to be courageous!!!

mariopro.bsky.social•221 days ago

marklearns.bsky.social•221 days ago

That's his take? That's what he's worried about??

markedpermanently.bsky.social•220 days ago

Not for everything else that follows RFK, but the fact that he might be “Pro-abortion?”…

tojoh.bsky.social•221 days ago

Well…not really the reason I would cite but I’ll take it guess.

big-steppa.bsky.social•221 days ago

Mike Pence stands by his values and you can’t fault the man for doing what he knows best

Regardless of how creepy he is lmao

genjibear.bsky.social•221 days ago

Lol, that's the reason?

abqwmn67.bsky.social•221 days ago

THAT'S what he's worried about?

montanabeef.bsky.social•221 days ago

It's actually good because that is a huge issue in maga land

soxybill.bsky.social•221 days ago

Half of MAGA doesn't really care about abortion. And the other half can be convinced to support Trump no matter what.

whiskeythinker.bsky.social•221 days ago

Yes, because that's the pressing issue with RFKJR. what a fucking asshole

gregs2.bsky.social•221 days ago

He literally has zero influence in that party anymore.

techerous.bsky.social•221 days ago

You know what? Whatever, I'll take it.

boneyarddem.bsky.social•221 days ago

*THAT'S* why pence does like RFH Jr...because of this abortion stance? Everything else is ok? OMFG

lynx1200.bsky.social•221 days ago

talk about doing the right thing for the wrong reasons...

lionofliberty.bsky.social•220 days ago

Mike Pence is so demonized in the party, that sadly his pleas for sanity are never taken seriously.

cala213.bsky.social•221 days ago

Thats his worry lol

forwardthinking.bsky.social•221 days ago

There’s a million better reasons to not confirm RFK Jr outside of abortion 🤦‍♂️

bluedotblues.bsky.social•221 days ago

Kennedy just wants to kill babies and children with diseases instead of abortions.

bago2045.bsky.social•221 days ago

Honestly, its probably the only angle that prevents his appointment. Remember, Trump loves ivermectin and thinks you can use bleach and uv light to cure disease.

janson.bsky.social•221 days ago

THAT‘s his problem with him?

jerryjx.bsky.social•220 days ago

There is a reason Mike pence is not vice president anymore

mledo.bsky.social•220 days ago

RFK will bring European safety standards to our food, something the left has been trying to do for decades. We won and they think it is their idea.

panhandle46.bsky.social•221 days ago

That’s his only objection? Talk about blind obsession.

newhorizons46.bsky.social•221 days ago

Whatever works dude

nerdyshoegal.bsky.social•221 days ago

That’s his reason?

sierra0505.bsky.social•221 days ago

THAT'S his concern?

georgiafinn.bsky.social•221 days ago

It's a ridiculous red line, all things considered, but whatever it takes.

rooseveltsrevenge.bsky.social•221 days ago

“And I prefer children die AFTER they’re born!”

-Mike Pence, prolly

zackkerwin.bsky.social•221 days ago

Not worried about public health for actual child worried about fetuses

daverensberger.bsky.social•221 days ago

Well, that's the wrong reason... and I honestly think that Mike Pence saying to reject his nomination is going to make the Senate Pussygrabberists more likely to approve the nomination.

mainelife.bsky.social•221 days ago

I didn't see this one coming.

cromulentdoh.bsky.social•221 days ago

For the wrong reason

villeinmyveins.bsky.social•221 days ago

This is an attack i didn't see coming. Whatever the rationale.

interestoholic.bsky.social•221 days ago

This is his only concern with him?
Give me a break... 🤦‍♂️

raoul51.bsky.social•221 days ago

If that's the worst thing he can think of, he's not a deep thinker.

oldladyliberal.bsky.social•221 days ago

THAT’S his concern?!?😳

cathywitha-c.bsky.social•221 days ago

But he’s fine with bringing back diseases we’ve eradicated long ago. 🤦🏻‍♀️

lorencol.bsky.social•221 days ago

Betting at least one of RFK’s 37 mistresses in first marriage had one or maybe his current affair???

dianadig.bsky.social•221 days ago

Pro-Choice you say? Turns out the worm didn't make him 100% insane.

brislees65.bsky.social•221 days ago

They hate Pence so they’ll likely see this as some kind of backwards endorsement to own the libs. 🙄

mphinpgh.bsky.social•220 days ago

THAT'S what he's most concerned about re: RFK Jr?

oakssgm.bsky.social•221 days ago

If this is the angle it takes, so be it...

crystallineentity.bsky.social•221 days ago

Ha! I just said pretty much the exact same thing. Great minds..

daverensberger.bsky.social•221 days ago

Would you like them to find an anti-choice nominee whose anti-vax inclinations are a little more veiled? If we follow Pence's lead, that's what we'll get. Probably better to just let them approve Kennedy and then watch him get fired 2 months later (which /is/ what's going to happen).

citizen12345.bsky.social•221 days ago

Twist!

coast1909.bsky.social•221 days ago

Nevermind he’s certified nuts.

pacientcz.bsky.social•221 days ago

He found the stupidest reason why he should be rejected, while there are 100+ more important reasons to keep him away from that position. 🤦

juliemstephenson.bsky.social•220 days ago

Giving Mike Pence credit here. He knows ALL the reasons RFK, Jr.'s nomination must be rejected but has chosen the one MAGA is SUPPOSED to be most concerned with right now.

causticcelt.bsky.social•221 days ago

Mike criticising RFK for all the wrong reasons

navywife123.bsky.social•221 days ago

I guess they didn’t eat all of the cats and dogs.

therealgeerock.bsky.social•221 days ago

FU Mike! What you have to say means nothing. You let TFG run amok for 4 years before you grew a spine. Go home to Mother.

valeriecurtismd.bsky.social•221 days ago

So reject him not because he has virtually no scientific or medical training or background and embraces the worst, dangerous conspiracy theories about vaccines and everything health and food, but because he might be pro choice?

benjaminthomas616.bsky.social•221 days ago

That's his concern? Abortion, not the return of polio?!
