Oh No. Another Guy With No Impulse Control.
Vice President Mike Pence visits NASA in Florida. Â Somebody took a picture.

Mother: What did the sign say, Mike?
Mike: Do Not Touch
Mother: And what did you do, Mike?
Mike: I touched it.
Honey, things ain’t gonna improve if he become president. I can promise you that.
If the imbeciles are still in Dee Cee next winter, someone please select a cold spell in which to install “do not place tongue on fence” signs. At least maybe that will inhibit their yammering for a few days, albeit the same promise cannot be made about their whining.
Although written instructions for breathing posted in the men’s rooms might Darwin out a few of them. “Step #3 … gasp” – count on Rick Perry not make it to step #4. But the record for st00pid will probably be shared by Gohmert and King who will be prone and gasping at step #1.
But it’s obvious now why Mikey Dense cannot be allowed to dine alone with a woman not his wife. He never learned that ‘don’t touch’ skill. Given that he doesn’t play nice with others and lacks sharing skills, ready to go out on a limb to deduce that poor child did not attend kindergarten.
1Mike would have failed the Stanford Marshmallow Test:
“studies on delayed gratification… a child was offered a choice between one small reward provided immediately or two small rewards (i.e., a larger later reward) if they waited for a short period, approximately 15 minutes”
Mike’s delayed gratification, waiting to take over the presidency probably got to be too much for him.
That sign, that sign, tempting him into instant indulgence.
PS- children who were able to wait longer for the preferred rewards tended to have better life outcomes
2If Donnie did that, I might give him a pass because I think he can barely read. Granted he can deliver the occasional speech that somebody else wrote, but I don’t know if anyone’s checked for a device in his ear feeding it to him.
3Mother: What did the sign say, Mike?
Mike: Do Not Touch – but that was in quotes, so it doesn’t count!
4Somehow just reading JJ’s title and the first sentence and I knew what it was going to be about. Then I slowly brought up the picture, it had to be “DO NOT TOUCH”, dumkopf. Urk…
5What’s a “cleanroom environment”?
.
Although, are we sure this isn’t a photoshopped pic, that tape holding the sign looks fishy to me (without zooming it).
.
Some of the people I worked with were like that, very tactilely-oriented, other senses like sight, hearing, were overridden by the urge to grab whatever. Sort of frozen in a pre-kindergarten state.
Couldn’t comprehend written or oral instructions or concepts very well, had to get their grubby hands all over whatever (and still FUBARed stuff).
Same people were devoid of ideas and curiosity (outside of pawing stuff over), born blind followers (and flopped over to becoming Rethugs when that Party got some TX traction).
But were always cunning and devious, because they figured everybody else was up to their shenanigans.
At least didn’t grab it and try to put it into his mouth the way babies learn.
6JJ, I scoured the Wayback innartoobs machine and located the actual verbatim recording of Mother P and future Rethuglikkkan lil’ Mike P (the FSM is omnipresent).
The actual dialogue went like this:
Mother: What did the sign say, Mike?
Mike: Do Not Touch
Mother: And what did you do, Mike?
Mike: I dinndt touched it, mean ol’ Barack ‘Bama touched it! He did! Really, I dinndt do it, NoBama didit.
Mother gets out the fingerprint kit…
7maggie, before we give the old curmudgeon second in line to the Thief-in-Chief too much credit, we need to face facts. Neither of those greedy old *expletives deleted have the learning skills of an infant. Obviously they weren’t raised by wolves; they lack the requisite skills they would have gained from the experience.
Those sneaky snacilbupeR probably have a parenting ‘skills’ book stolen from Ayn Rand and misinterpreted by similar illiterates that produces snacilbupeR like Donnie, Mikey and Lyin’ Ryan.
Seriously. Who knew that reading could be so dangerous, until this maladministration took office?
8Sandridge, “Mother gets out the fingerprint kit…” That would not be in a normal home, ergo must have been a snacilbupeR home. Our Mamas would not have needed outside help to recognize our grubby little fingerprints from 3 rooms away.
Seriously. Have a barbecue with your siblings. Snitch each other out for all the mischief we “thought” we got away with, since we are safe as adults now; maybe. It didn’t go unnoticed; just some smart parents allowing us the room to learn to be critically thinking adults. They knew. But they also recognized that we needed room past the playpen to develop. Unlike the snacilbupeR and Xtian authoritarian types with all their rod whacking and punitive idiocy.
9Sandridge@5: The photo was published by Reuters, so it seems highly unlikely that it’s photoshopped. Although there are photoshopped versions of it floating around with big red arrows pointing at the sign.
10Jane & PKM, Heheh, rAmen to that.
eyesoars, Was just a suspicion. The way things are now you can’t trust anything that has to do with a Rethug. We’re just at the start of incredible “dirty tricks”, psy-ops, black ops, propaganda, whatever. Nixon, Kissinger, et al., must be green with envy at the tools of deception, misdirection, and surveillance in the tiny hands of Der Drumpfnfuerer and his cabal (plus Putie).
11Sandridge, if it were a cleanroom, would the people be allowed in in their street clothes? Not to mention taping signs to equipment, as you point out. And, is that Rubio in the picture?
12While it is typical of the entitled arrogance of Trump’s VP and cabinet in general, this story about Mike Pence is more chilling than cute or funny. That the same sick f—s that have not only defunded NASA, but vehemently denied any validity to NASA’s most important earth science data related to climate change and global warming research will now be in charge of the newly reopened National Space Council is nothing short of frightening.
These Kekistani, Frankenstein’s monsters from hell don’t care any more about science than they care about unemployed, unwed mothers. If Mars is to be explored, it would be nothing short of insult to take this honor away from NASA. Pence’s agenda is mostly fantasy. But if they should succeed in diverting huge amounts of national treasure to their ridiculous plans to capitalize, privatize and weaponize space, this can only do massive harm to our nation and the rest of the world.
Not since the dangerous and unstable years between Sputnik and the Partial Nuclear Test Ban, (1957-1963) has there been such a concerted effort to weaponize and militarize space. Do you think that before the ban, Eisenhower was interested in nuclear tests in space? You can bet your bottom dollar friend. Trump himself has declared space dominance to be a security must-have. While Pence has touted boots on Mars.
Nightmare science fiction reality. Let’s all work together to prevent this.
13Short version. Mike Penice thought it would be funny to go ahead and caress the polished aluminum of the spacecraft cone in spite of the sign, because in his mind, he will soon be the undisputed Kekistani God-Emperor of all Earth-based Space Exploration and Colonization.
14Was recently lucky enough to visit Athens (the ancient one). Most of the Acropolis buildings are far out of reach but one which acts as sort of an entry gate visitors must climb stairs through. Signs are posted on the oh-so-close-columns, in English, “Do not touch the marble”. There are also very nice handrails which separate visitors from the columns. You see where I’m going here… Unlike at NASA, however, there are also officials standing watch in this area, archeologist-type officials. With police-type whistles. Which we heard blown several times. NASA needed a whistle.
15The reason he did it?
YES, HE SAID THIS: Rubio dared me to.
16Please, wolves are excellent parents. Let’s not insult them. His sanctimous senseless wasn’t raised. He hatched in a cesspool where all little rethugs hatch.
17This is why he doesn’t eat dinner with women.
