Mike Pence should take stronger action against the monster he played a role in creating, not just throw a bland opinion trying to appeal to the monster inexistent integrity.

jonathan-hilbun.bsky.social•3 days ago

There are very real constitutional issues with everything about this regime.

pete01j.bsky.social•3 days ago

Hahahahaha....
Pence says Chump will THINK!!!
Fucking morons never had a thought in his stupid life...

Trump: who hired this asshole, they must be bigly stupid.

You did sir.

Trump: never heard of him

joshryan.bsky.social•3 days ago

Pence deserves none of our time or energy. He did one “good” thing, which was something anyone normal person would expect him to do. It was the absolute least he could have done.

Mike Pence is a bootlicker ..he doesn’t have the balls to speak or retaliate against the felon … DO MORE MR PENCE DO MORE AND DO BETTER

rhapsodybooks.bsky.social•3 days ago

Trump wouldn't know "the right thing" from "groceries" in a grocery store, neither of which he understands or cares about.

hilogirl.bsky.social•3 days ago

Mike says there are "very real constitutional issues" with this aircraft? "Thinks it's just a bad idea~hoping for trump to think better of it?" Oh hell in a hand basket!

arcluganoch.bsky.social•3 days ago

Behind closed doors, Pence will take a break from the footwell of the Resolute Desk to lick the dog shit from the bottom of Trump's shoes to safeguard the American Herrenrasse Birthright of White Republican Conservatives.

Don't be fooled. Pence is a GOPNSDAP Christ Nationalist Bible Rewriter.

batgurl62.bsky.social•3 days ago

The president thought it was a good idea to hang you Mike so don't count on him thinking better of everything

snowdog2112.bsky.social•3 days ago

I’m glad they didn’t hang you but you’re still creepy as F.

Oooh, a such harsh language Susan. Er, I mean Mike.

snappyjack.bsky.social•3 days ago

“I think it’s just a bad idea, and my hope is the president will think better of it,” is EXACTLY what he said as the gallows were being built.

Hasn't he got any new lines?

jordanscot.bsky.social•3 days ago

Why is anyone talking to this POS? He had 4 yrs to do something about HIM. He didn’t do shit. Who gives a fat rat’s ass what his opinion is about anything? The fly even knew what a POS he was.
STFU!

ynotwanit1.bsky.social•3 days ago

Not just a bad idea. It's corruption.

joelgrant.bsky.social•3 days ago

Pence hopes that, for once, the MN (malignant narcissist) does the right thing. I hope my granddaughter gets a magic pony for her birthday.

Still draggin that dead dog around I see. Pence can not end up as the sane one. He fell for it once.

At this point... if you are American and not protesting, rallying or getting arrested.. then you are getting a dictator!
Stop talking and do something...

gsingleton.bsky.social•3 days ago

Pence says it’s “a bad idea” for Trump to accept the airplane offered by Qatar?

A bad idea?

How about Pence saying something more direct, like:

“Trump must comply with the Constitution’s requirements regarding gifts to elected officials.”

gsingleton.bsky.social•3 days ago

Whether it’s a gold, diamond-studded Rolex or a luxury airplane, the same constitutional rules apply. The Constitution doesn’t make exceptions for size, sparkle, or speed.

Keep hoping Mike Pence. What we need is action, like you should have taken to invoke the 25th amendment when you have the opportunity. You no longer have a voice in this country, you are a coward.

Qatar has been trying to unload this gas guzzling high maintenance money pit for a long time.

It will take millions and many years to upgrade to a presidential flying command center. It won't be complete during Trump's term, but taxpayers will foot the upgrade bill so that Trump can then own it.

gregwithinhislight.bsky.social•3 days ago

Pence is so naive, clueless, and oblivious.

martincollard.bsky.social•3 days ago

The word "think" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. Does anyone believe the convicted criminal ever thinks about anyone but himself? No, me neither.

wordsoffreedom.bsky.social•3 days ago

It’s a pig and a poke.

Not only likely equipped with sophisticated intelligence gathering/tracking devices.

But it could also be armed & remotely controlled using sophisticated system installed.

More importantly, it’s been for sale for 5 years & couldn’t sell it

Maintenance costs & upkeep huge

drlarrymitchell.bsky.social•2 days ago

I love that Mike Pence's political purgatory is hitting the circuit, getting interviewed about nothing he's ever done but rather the foibles of his old boss & he sucks it up, like an ex-husband who really wishes her the best but wishes she'd stop picking up foreign men & blowing them for cash.

terryezell.bsky.social•3 days ago

Pence knows better than most how good good Trump's judgment is.

happyskeptic.bsky.social•3 days ago

The assumption that he considers his actions or consequences seems sweet, but naieve.

okguy.bsky.social•3 days ago

Who would have thought, longing for the days of Mike Pence in the White House. 🤨

spottedstarling.bsky.social•3 days ago

No one longs for those days. It's only that this time under Trump and his gang of bandits it's so much worse, as awful as Trump's first term was.

okguy.bsky.social•3 days ago

I’d take Pence over JD any day. Agreed that’s not saying much.

ecoprairiepainter.bsky.social•3 days ago

No absolutely no. Old Ken needs to fade.

spottedstarling.bsky.social•3 days ago

Why settle for the least bad instead of wanting the best?

okguy.bsky.social•3 days ago

Not settling I would rather have anyone but Trump. My only point was we dodged a bullet the first time because of people like Pence. No matter how much I despise him. Now we got full frontal Trump without the Pence. Doesn’t mean he’s not an enabler. He just has a limit. JD has none.

spottedstarling.bsky.social•3 days ago

No you won't. He was a morally corrupt, spineless Trump's puppet of a VP until the last day of the orange felon's presidency, when he finally realised that he is a tool in collapsing America.
I'd rather have Kamala.

okguy.bsky.social•3 days ago

Whether we like it or not, Trump first time around had guard rails. There were people actually trying to run a government (albeit not very well). Now they’re trying to tear it all down.

maksymlozofficial.bsky.social•3 days ago

Wonder who pence voted for. Probably Trump again.

riverhawk.bsky.social•3 days ago

Meh Pence could have solved ALL OF THIS. Simple shit, just PERFORM one fucking OBVIOUS TASK. FUCK that guy.

nrvschultz.bsky.social•3 days ago

He won’t. But the bad press, and the fact that it’s an old, used plane, may ultimately change his mind.

olddocrich.bsky.social•3 days ago

cephrad.bsky.social•3 days ago

deedeecountry.bsky.social•3 days ago

I can’t believe I keep agreeing with Pence. I want off this timeline

coegar.bsky.social•3 days ago

Well yea, it’s literally written into the constitution that he is not to accept it

bofusteefus.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yet Pence will still endorse Trumps 3rd term, like a good little coward.

jmorse7244.bsky.social•3 days ago

What a mealy mouth response.

wanderingrocket.bsky.social•3 days ago

Hope is not a strategy.

And spoiler alert: Trump will never do the right thing because it's the right thing...not ever. So you can stuff your hopes and dreams of him magically changing in a sack.

zitronenjette.bsky.social•3 days ago

Why do they always dish out the half-…. admonishments, like “it’s a bad idea”? Everywhere else on the planet, in plain language, it’s called “a bribe”.

maudi63.bsky.social•3 days ago

Never forget how lovingly he gazed at Trump for 4+ years. 👇😒

itsmesb.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yep - reminiscent of Nancy and Ronny

melanieadele921.bsky.social•3 days ago

Pence is complicit in this train wreck of an administration. He could have spoken up a long time ago. Probably could have kept him out of office if he’d stood up and told the truth about who he really is.
MAGA wouldn’t have listened; but maybe some independents would have been swayed.

ziggurcat.bsky.social•3 days ago

Let’s not give this person any credit for anything. Don’t forget he was part of the last Trump administration, and is complicit in a lot that happened.

300ps.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yes Mike, he's a totally rational person who will definitely take your polite advice.

tunggau.bsky.social•3 days ago

I hope that Trump accepts the gift since it demonstrates that the constitution is dead and that the public doesn't care enough to bother. Only by accepting the truth is it possible to move forward.

politicia.bsky.social•3 days ago

Can’t he add just a bit more depth to that response? Jeez…

kate6.bsky.social•3 days ago

Isn't there also a very real constitutional issue with electing a president who's previously incited an attempted coup though? Wasn't *that* the point at which we, as a nation, decided the constitution is effectively toilet paper?

toeblake151.bsky.social•3 days ago

Can't fix stupid

debralhd.bsky.social•3 days ago

As a foreign national, the cowardice of so GOP politicians, MSM, corporate entities, law firms, etc, all capitulating to and/or pussyfooting around Trump rather than coming out & saying he's corrupt as hell & systematically destroying US democracy daily via X,Y & Z means truly despicable.

rabidferret420.bsky.social•3 days ago

The fucking potato can barely think. What are you talking about?

tomboyred.bsky.social•3 days ago

True. But the question? Is Pence conscience bothering him or is he getting into position for Republican leadership? Either way, if he gets through and sways some Christian Nationalists away from Trump, it is a good thing.

myopinioncounts4.bsky.social•3 days ago

Pence has no pathway forward in regards to Republican leadership. Millions won't vote for him because he stood by during the 1st DJT fiasco and said nothing, and MAGA/Christian Nationalist won't vote for him because he "betrayed" their "God" (Fotus). Everything DJT touches is toast eventually.

tomboyred.bsky.social•3 days ago

Likely true but I'm thinking about what is in Pence head and I'm hoping he might sway some of the Christian Nationalists. I know most of them are quite happy with the deal they made with the devil...but they may be a few who can be reached...

Sure Mikey….

hardknocks.bsky.social•3 days ago

Mike spent 4 years prostrating before Trump and still can't tell Donald to go fuck himself. Though he didn't spend months in jail the way Michael Cohen did, you'd think having Donald threaten you with a hanging would create, at least, a bit of irritation.
