Trump is lucky the Pences need to keep their Christian façade intact or she would have kicked his nuts up into his throat.

gc999.bsky.social•43 days ago

Oh I would pay to see that.

sgilbraith.bsky.social•43 days ago

What pence should have said: “Fuck you you fucking fuck”.

jonah-84.bsky.social•43 days ago

“Sometimes it’s hard for me to believe that God put me on one of these rows,” Pence remarked. Maybe it's not about you and God, Mike.

Karen Pence got it right - family over party.

kayjayra13.bsky.social•42 days ago

Mrs. Pence held back from saying many things to President-elect Trump and his wife, Melania Trump as she remained seated in the row behind them during President Carter’s funeral. “Congratulations, Mr. President,” wasn’t among them. She was clearly the more righteous of the two Pences on that day.

oweninthefirst.bsky.social•43 days ago

Is he a complete idiot? No self-respecting man would do what he did. He's not Jesus. Did he envision himself saying, "Forgive them Lord for they know not what they do?" Trump saw he had some kind of martyr personality there and leveraged it.

champgal.bsky.social•43 days ago

I don't understand why everybody shows Trump Grace he does not deserve it!!

lbblaura.bsky.social•43 days ago

There are ways to show grace, but at the same time, admonish someone. This is only about the photo op for Trump.

tfurter24.bsky.social•42 days ago

Spineless and gutless as ever.

bonnieatl.bsky.social•43 days ago

Pence’s reason for not supporting the nomination of Robert Kennedy Jr.? He was pro-choice in the past. Of all the insane pronouncements Kennedy has made, that’s the one Pence thinks is a deal breaker. Wow.

catmanskid.bsky.social•43 days ago

Personally, I liked Mrs Pence’s reaction much better. She had the balls to ignore trump and his bimbo.

bluewomanvoting123.bsky.social•43 days ago

Trump tried to kill Pence and his wife. His wife had the right idea. And she def did it on purpose because she was very friendly to President and Mrs. Bush.

orion49.bsky.social•42 days ago

Pence had an opportunity to say something meanful, not sycophantic, like: Put the American people first Mr. Trump.

ljgrohsman.bsky.social•43 days ago

Mike Pence is just sad.
More respect to his wife.

bikemike.bsky.social•43 days ago

If it was me, the first thing I said couldn’t be printed in Christianity Today

palmettopat.bsky.social•43 days ago

What I want to know is what Obama said to Trump!

annleftwapo.bsky.social•43 days ago

Mike Pence was the kid who wandered around the high school cafeteria every day looking for someone to eat his lunch with. He’s still so hungry for acceptance that he wants to be friends with the guy who tried to have him killed. He’s pathetic.

adriana1o5.bsky.social•43 days ago

Somehow, we’ve all forgotten that he ascend to office the first time surrounded by evangelicals. This time it’s creepy tech bro’s out for personal gain or power with grand visions of reshaping society. I can see the similarities & the differences but I believe a culture clash is coming for the GOP

adriana1o5.bsky.social•43 days ago

ascended 🤦‍♀️

mac807.bsky.social•42 days ago

Why waste your prayers on someone DJT, who is morally bankrupt.
Many others need prayers.
DJT is NOT WORTHY OF THEM!
When people tell you and demonstrate who they are - LISTEN!
The way DJT talks to people is with contempt and disregard.
I pray GOD helps us get thru the next 4 years.

hollyhockcottage.bsky.social•43 days ago

I couldn't care less.

ottawahawk.bsky.social•42 days ago

Trump's excuse for being a terrible leader is that he's a terrible person. Pence has no such excuse.

arch45.bsky.social•43 days ago

Mother knows best.

doggiemama.bsky.social•43 days ago

He should have said the country can’t wait until it’s you! You wanted me dead.

gregorythomson.bsky.social•43 days ago

I was lip reading and looked to me like "Fuck off orange toad."🤷

catman6.bsky.social•43 days ago

Pence is "praying for Trump"--that is about as useful as peeing your pants--you get a nice warm feeling for a little while but nothing good happens

dramadebs.bsky.social•43 days ago

STFU, you POSPence

ullaberg.bsky.social•43 days ago

Maybe Mike Pence's wife should have put a rope in DJT's hand and told him, it didn't work.

suffragette333.bsky.social•42 days ago

Trump telling Pence not to bother praying for him? That’s right Trump is king and god now.

tennb.bsky.social•43 days ago

Wasn't there a visitation before the funeral where any that wanted to greet each other, shake hands or completely ignore each other could have been done? To much attention was paid to these few rows. Too much in my opinion.

kmcn13.bsky.social•43 days ago

limp dick

jennifermc6.bsky.social•43 days ago

His wife showed more courage in a few seconds than he did in 5 years. But she has remained silent on what happened that day to her and her family.

aetheln.bsky.social•43 days ago

Just more sucking up and ass kissing.

grumpydoc19.bsky.social•43 days ago

“Thanks for trying to kill my wife. I forgive you.”

jbyrne78.bsky.social•43 days ago

Why repost this??

gemni8.bsky.social•42 days ago

Who cares! This guy had his chance. Yea, he certified the results of 2020 Election. But his constant backpedaling in the name of Jesus Christ- is completely opposite to any teachings. He doesn’t follow God, he doesn’t help those in need. & I dont care what spittle he spewed with the felon.

curlydisaster.bsky.social•43 days ago

Never thought I'd agree with "Mother" Pence on anything....but in this case I do! Pence didn't need to kiss his ass. He should have been polite considering the setting, but a nod would have been enough considering Trump sure seemed to try to have him killed by his "insurrection fan base".

pcollirigger.bsky.social•42 days ago

"...hope that we might be moving past those difficult days. That’s certainly my hope."

Truth surrendered to power.

54jnon37.bsky.social•43 days ago

Why should we care about these fools like Pence who was part of the abomination of the entire Dotard presidency until the last second when he finally did the one right thing for this country. Do we care about this absolute nonsense article?

328chauncey.bsky.social•43 days ago

Who cares.

maverickgator.bsky.social•42 days ago

He said, "Try not to act like a dipshit, but its ok if he asks people to hang JD" Mike Pence to Donald Trump.

dedamc.bsky.social•43 days ago

I couldn’t get very far into this article. It felt cringe.😬

libertyogre.bsky.social•43 days ago

I assure you he didn’t say anything that he should have. The fact that he shook that piece of trash’s hand after everything he’s done and said to and about him? Spineless.

kimnow1956.bsky.social•43 days ago

I am proud of his wife, him, not so much. Not a very self respecting man.

azeke57.bsky.social•43 days ago

What a wimp. I wouldn't shake the hand of someone who could care less if I was alive. Kudo's to W who showed us how it's done to someone who has no respect for anyone.

lynettetn1968.bsky.social•43 days ago

But remember, even after J6, he was still bowing down to him. They all do and I just can’t wrap my head around it. Someone tried to have my gone…I’d give them what they deserved.

equalinmyeyes.bsky.social•43 days ago

Neither of them are honorable but that orange one is absolutely evil and mentally ill

used2draw.bsky.social•43 days ago

okay7.bsky.social•43 days ago

Trump put Pence’s daughter at risk. I’m with Mrs. Pence. I wouldn’t have talked to him either after that.

rhodyrebel.bsky.social•43 days ago

The orange turd. early had him killed and Pence is congratulating him. If I were his wife, I’d have zero respect for him.

patsynicosia.bsky.social•43 days ago

This is sure a nothing-burger!

toodead2care.bsky.social•43 days ago

And once again, fools and suckers think that Donald will ever change. It's disheartening to know our country is so full of people suffering from abused wife syndrome.
Donald will gladly take your praise and you congratulations. But he WILL NEVER CHANGE.

gc999.bsky.social•43 days ago

Does anyone really think he’s going to change? I think that’s just a way for people to rationalize accepting all of his awfulness.

toodead2care.bsky.social•43 days ago

It seems some do.. I don't get it.

sadieliz.bsky.social•43 days ago

Thank you First Felon for ordering my hanging. I forgive you because I want to fade into the woodwork

aenordland.bsky.social•43 days ago

Pence is a fool.

trinicouz.bsky.social•43 days ago

A wimp will always wimp.

cutmeslack.bsky.social•43 days ago

“Mr. President please don’t:

Arrest me
Sue me
Dox me
Go after my family

rajs.bsky.social•42 days ago

I’d be interested to know how his “faith” reconciled with the deliberate decision of the administration he was part of to orphan hundreds of children through a deliberately incompetent family separation policy…

stargazr59.bsky.social•43 days ago

I can just imagine

resistthecults.bsky.social•42 days ago

To think those two horribly pathetic”men” were in charge of the government. It’s almost frightening and one will do it again.

resistthecults.bsky.social•42 days ago

He has no balls and never did, but apparently his wife does! When did all these men who were leaders become such pussies? There’s not a leader amongst them! It’s time for a woman!

iamharleydavidson.bsky.social•43 days ago

Can we STOP acting like Mike Pence (and “mother”) didn’t stand idly by, for 4yrs, while trump was nazi-ing out? Thx
Pence is no innocent victim

crstevens.bsky.social•43 days ago

I see he still hasn't managed to find a spine.

mightymo2008.bsky.social•43 days ago

Mike is a better person than DT would ever be.

gc999.bsky.social•43 days ago

That is literally the lowest bar there could ever be.

1sassysungirl.bsky.social•43 days ago

Don’t care.

ginafromwork.bsky.social•43 days ago

Too bad Mike didn’t get to meet Jesus on January 6

mitchman333.bsky.social•43 days ago

"She loves her husband...", wouldn't you say she loves Me..? Weird way to phrase it. A strange, strange couple, and Mike Pence is a giant pussy. 🥺

sofaking31.bsky.social•43 days ago

“He’s also spent time praying for Trump, as he pledged he would do in one of their final conversations in office. Trump told him, “Don’t bother,” he recalls.”

markneace.bsky.social•43 days ago

Everyone should have ignored him completely. He deserves no respect or courtesy.

used2draw.bsky.social•43 days ago

Well said!

thegoodword.bsky.social•43 days ago

From Christianity Today, I don't want to hear it. We have reached the point in history at which you cannot believe a single word from Christianity - it is simply an authoritarian tool.

jetcetera.bsky.social•43 days ago

I have more respect for the integrity of Karen Pence than for that of her husband.

joseph-yossarian.bsky.social•43 days ago

Pence is a weak, weak man.

bobbiemck.bsky.social•43 days ago

Pence’s wife has more balls than both of those douche bags.

sandi242.bsky.social•43 days ago

I think he really said “wish this service was for you”.

bea-sue-lee.bsky.social•43 days ago

I still think Mike Pence has learned very much.

theblueline.bsky.social•43 days ago

Pence, it’s sure a good thing your wife is not the kiss-ass that you are.

edwardtyler.bsky.social•42 days ago

If it didn’t end with, “…and the horse you rode in on,” then I’m not interested.

mphpurdue.bsky.social•43 days ago

I’ve lived with the ignorance and b.s. spewing from Pence’s mouth for many, many years—from his days as an Indiana GOP lackey to running for Congress to ultra-right wing talk radio to my state’s ‘governor’ and then as trump’s running mate & VP. This ‘interview’ is simply more double-speak. Period.
