Pence’s Best Interests
Last night, after the release of the hostages, Mike Pence said something out loud. He said it’s time for Mueller to end his investigation.
“In the interests of the country, I think it’s time to wrap it up.” Pence told NBC News following the release of three Americans held by North Korea.
Translated into whatever the hell language men who call their wives Mother speak, that means, “I cannot freekin’ wait to be president!”
The vice president was pressed on the news about millions of dollars in payments from companies to Trump’s personal attorney Michael Cohen. Pence said that was a “private matter” and “something I don’t have any knowledge about.”
No, no it’s not a private matter. And Pence full damn well knew about it because Trump would have bragged to him about it.
Somebody tell Mike we’re not total idiots. That would be his friends on the religious right.
By the way, today George Will has some prime comments about Pence, which end with this.
Trump is what he is, a floundering, inarticulate jumble of gnawing insecurities and not-at-all compensating vanities, which is pathetic. Pence is what he has chosen to be, which is horrifying.
Will calls Pence the worst person in government. He may be right.
Pence was a bigwig in the Trump campaign when all this was going on. Either he knew and he’s complicit, or he actually didn’t and that would mean he’s massively incompetent.
Neither is a quality one desires in a president (although massive incompetence has been our savior now and again). And, of course, it could be both.
1Another take…
2Pence, Trump and the white christian conservative cult is starting to feel emboldened, they are feeling the Power of their god given white right as ‘the Chosen Ones’.
Power is very addictive, and very dangerous indeed.
George Will’s tome today was quite stunning! It’s been quite a relief to see many devoted Repubs speak out. Rick Wilson, Richard Painter, etal have been prolific and worth hearing/reading.
Psst! Feel feisty? Troll right wing’s fawning comment threads regarding the prisoner release with their own medicine:
“How would anyone know if these three are the actual prisoners? Could they be crisis actors, straight from Central Casting? FAKE NEWS!”
or this: “These three gentlemen arriving home from North Korea will be the first non-Caucasians to arrive in years that conservative Bigots R Us won’t demand to see Proof of Citizenship from.”
or this: “Preserved on video for perpetuity: Trump is adamant that he prefers men who were not captured.”
3Want to know what the WHITE XTIAN conservatives want?? Easy look at Iran and Pakistan, now think xtian aholes pushing a xtian taliban and a xtian ISIS and you get the idea!! After all they KNOW their ahole gawd is totally powerless for anything, so they must use the gov’mint to control everyone!
4And the trumpkin may well be an idiot, but Pense is evil!!
The difference between Trump and Pence is that Pence knows what he wants, sticks to it for more than five minutes at a time, and has a whole bunch of rightwing voters behind him who have been wanting the same things since about 1980.
5Dear Mikey Dense,
6Last week when you were either asleep or in a persistent vegetative state, Rudy had a visit with the Mueller Team and returned to the WH with a note to Donnie from Bob Mueller. The note read: “talk or the skinny bitch gets it.” That means you, numb nuts.
Sincerely,
Mike Flynn
Susan on the Left Coast, troll the Trumapzees with the obvious. Gullible Dotard45 was outmaneuvered by Little Rocket Man who just planted 3 double agents in Donnie’s lap 5 weeks before their “summit.”
7Jane & PKM: Adding it to the script! Thank you! 🙂
At Joe.My.God. website he pointed the minions to a rabid preacher man – the comments have been FAAABUlous! LMAO!
8Preacher man also did video of ‘pray for Trump’ — the take down is brilliant in comments. Still guffawing!
Every time I agree with Will, it makes me doubt my sanity and makes me slightly nauseous.
9Mike Pence is Sgt. Schultz (I know NOTHING!) on the outside and Attila the Hun-for-God on the inside. He can’t WAIT to start using his sword to smite all of the ungodly, i.e. anyone who isn’t a white Republican male.
10Read Wills column. Good one. Mike Pence and his evangelical horde are no more Christian than Attila the Hun. Pence is evil, EVIL. He disregards the Constitution and cannot get the idea threw his sick, evil brain that our Democracy was NOT founded on “Christian principles” but on those developed in Ancient Greece. But I doubt if Pence can read anything as profound as Plato or any of the philosophers. He’s a narrow minded bigoted hater. He was a stupid backbencher for the short time he was in congress. All Pence and his equally evil cadre of followers is to drag our country back 5000 years. No science, medical care for white males, only religious education. And that’s to start. He’s lying also. Pence is up to his hairline in thee Russian scandals. Pence must be kicked out with the Trump crime family.
11And George Will, for decades, willingly ignored and abetted the Republican party’s downward spiral into racism and warfare on the working classes.
12He and David Brooks are only actually worried about their own paychecks one this period of madness ends.
