Pence was a terrible governor and on his way to a humiliating defeat in his re-election bid when plucked from that fate by Bannon and Flynn to shore up Christo-fascist, white supremacist support for Trump. Whatever happens next for him, it should mean that we never have to hear him speak or offer any opinion on public policy again. Obscurity is his well deserved fate.

He can partially redeem himself by testifying fully and truthfully in the Trump trials. He should know a lot.

I suspect he will do everything he can to avoid being forced to testify.

Yes, that’s really all he can contribute right now, and it’s important.

Agree , at the last minute he does the right thing but it shows how corrupting and intimidating the MAGA people are. It also shows what an effective bully can do and why he must never set foot in the White House again. But it really is all up to the voters and that has me worried.

That has me worried as well. I just got word that Glenn Youngkin has purged thousands of people from the voting rolls in the past few weeks, especially minorities. I believe a couple of VA Democrats in Congress have asked the DOJ to investigate this. This is what Republicans are going to do for as long as they still remain a viable party, because they can’t seem to win elections any other way. The electoral college, of course, is another disaster that doesn’t help us at all. The Repubs always accuse other people of tampering with elections, because that’s exactly what they are doing. This is their gaslighting strategy.

A shame that their gaslighting has worked , so far.

Imagine a world where a head magat is disowned by his host creator! That's one lonely walk down the road to perdition. "Big Mac" has spoken......hold the Mayo, Mike.

The sheer depravity and otherworldly vileness of the MAGA crowd is something I thought I would never see in my lifetime. This is just proof that millions of Americans can be brainwashed by someone they never actually met, aside from seeing him on a stage. The idea that these people may comprise as much as 1/3 of the American populace scares the living daylights out of me. He is nothing but an overweight Hitler with a lot of makeup.

One year out from the 2024 election and 2025 January 6th 2nd insurrection it might be a blessing in disguise to have MAGA Mike Funangelic Johnson as the leader of the GOP elected leaders (since the shadow President isn't elected).

We the People, will get to see this November the truth about the MAGA agenda when they find a narrow way to fund parts of the government and leave the health and human services and any other New Deal program hung out to dry.

They will fund War and Walls but balk at any resistance to Putin their fellow Funangelic Christian leading his holy war for his Patriarch.

What we the people will see by the end of 2023 the full post Trump MAGA agenda snd hopefully a large majority of Americans will want nothing to do with the Trump Christian Nationalist Party as 2024 rolls into November 2024.

Hopefully Handmaiden Tale is not coming true or 2024 by George Orwell.

MAGA Mike Funangelic Johnson will give everyone full witness to the reality that DonJohnCon is the least of America's worries.

It is this NexGen Funangelic Christian Nationalist that have inherited the GOP lie machine and White Rich Oligarchy machine.

Organized, devout, and with no scruples these are the Christians who want total power.

We have MAGA Mike to thank for the warning about the clear and present danger.

No one will ever call Pence quick to criticize after the two year delay in even mentioning the trump grump's coup attempt. And let's remember, a coup attempt that fails, is just a trial run.

They learn how to be successful the more they try. Some of their methods are voter suppression, gerrymandering, electoral college manipulations, independent state house invalidation of elections, and many more to come. We must stand ever alert to the depredations of the wealthy class against the rest of us. PS, Polls are there to sway public opinion, not to measure it.

And just wait.... I can hear it now...... Pence will support Trump for 2024. Proving he’s just another coward.

It’s scary that so many people would vote for these vile politicians and in turn they themselves have become vile in there acceptance of what these people

Stand for.

Threats to or incitement to harm public servants for doing their jobs to enforce our criminal laws weakens the foundation of our society. RICO expert DA Willis strikes again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZyIppjaGb0

Another Trump fan yelled, “MAGA everyday, Pence is a traitor.”

We worship Trump because he is Satan. God sent Satan to earth for us to worship.

Make Satan Great Again: Trump 2024 😆
