THREAD: We need to talk about Mike Pence. I know we don't WANT to, but we must.



  1. 1/ Mike Pence came to Trump from Indiana, where he was an unpopular governor. He had some issues with using his personal AOL account for government business, and he used campaign contributions to pay his mortgage. Oops!

    2/ Pence is a member of a radical group that calls itself Christian but is really anything but. He seems genuinely to believe that Jesus told him to make his bed with Donald Trump, because Rapture, or some shit. He's nuttier than 45.

    3/ Pence is basically a Koch brothers whore. His ethics are completely inconsistent with Christian values. His job is to stand by Trump and affect calm, and to talk in a radio-friendly voice. To assure us that the bullshit is true.

    4/ This morning I googled "Pence Flynn knew" and, guys, there is NOT enough written about that topic. A few op-eds, but nothing major. And there should be, because Mike Flynn is an active Russian asset who Trump entrusted with eyes-only secrets.

    5/ Pence was brought into the campaign by Manafort (indicted under 876,935 charges) & continued to work with his deputy, Rick Gates (ditto) after Paulie Walnuts resigned after his fishy Ukraine ties became too damaging politically (I know — quaint, right?).

    6/ There's even a story floating around that Manafort stalled the Trump jet so that he and Pence would be able to meet up, and this Trump would pick him as his running mate. Almost like an op.

    7/ After the Kushner coup, Pence usurped Chris Christie as head of the Trump transition team. His deputy? Moscow Mike Flynn!

    8/ Mike Flynn was dirty, and many people warned Trump and the transition team about this. Yates, Cummings, Obama himself. Trump hired him anyway. And Pence went along for the ride.


  1. 10/ And Pence is SUCH an accomplished liar. He lies better than even Trump. Sarah Sanders prats to Pence at night, that she might be as good as bearing false witness as Jesus boi.

    11/ Here's but one example of the lies:
    Pence’s comments to six months ago look worse by the day.

    12/ Oh, and: Pence lawyered up early and well. You know how you don't plead the Fifth unless you're guilty? Yeah, you don't lawyer up like that unless you are, same deal.
    Pence is not getting nearly enough scrutiny in the media for his hands on role running the transition. Reminder after the news out the last 48 hours: he lawyered up very early this year.

    13/ I won't discuss Pence's odious politics, his exploitation of Christianity, his bizarro relationship with Mother...all of that is bad, but immaterial. Pence must go BECAUSE HE KNEW, AND HE IS THEREFORE A TRAITOR.

    1. 14/ Flynn's guilty plea means that Pence either knew or is a moron. I don't think he's a moron. Not in that sort of way. All evidence suggests that he knew damned well what he was, and is, doing.

      Agnew left before Nixon. Pence must exit before Trump. Book 'em, Bobby. [END]
