Makes sense, I wouldn't endorse anyone who wanted to murder me either.
On the other hand, I am a little surprised that he isn't completely spineless.
Mother probably enforced this.
They rarely make sense though. McConnell for example endorsed him.
IDK about you, but I don't think I'd wait close to 4 years to start talking smack about the dude who tried to have me killed.
Doesn't change the fact he refused to fully cooperate with investigations of Trump's actions on and before 1/6.
Mike Pence will forever be a coward.
And a traitor. Like nearly all republicans.
Mike Pence, of "Hang Mike Pence" fame
Are we sure they didn’t just want to hang with Mike Pence?
Nobody wants to hang with Mike Pence.
Even if they did... Mother wouldn't give them permission.
That’s just women and of all the 0 people that want to hang with Mike pence women are especially absent from the list
Yeah, you guys took the whole J6 out of context! /s
It was just a bit of light treason among friends. No big deal!
This just in: Victim of leopard mauling says he won't give leopard second helping.
Fuck this guy. I'm not giving him credit for not being a completely horrible person when he has been a horrible person. He hasn't learned anything, made amends, etc. He just doesn't want the person who put hundreds of people on a mission for his head to have total power.
think of the poor, hungry leopards!
Everyone's (rightly) focusing on 1/6 so I'll go a different route and mention what I think was Pence's biggest moment of public humiliation and utter servility as VP:
Remember back in 2017 when Trump made Mike Pence to go to that Colts v. 49ers game then throw a racist temper tantrum and storm out when players took a knee during the national anthem? Lmao
How'd selling your soul to be Trump's VP work out for ya there Pence-y boy? Really gave your political career a boost, eh?
Also, for anyone who thinks that maybe it was a spontaneous act, it wasn't. Everyone in the Secret Service and the television network knew what was coming.
Oh yeah, everyone knew exactly why he was there. It was a thoroughly choreographed racist hissy fit.
A paid crisis actor if you will
A hissy fit from an unfit hussy? Get me my fainting couch
No, that's pretty on-brand for Mike Pence. I don't believe that Trump forced him to do that.
I forgot he did this lol
Imagine if you will you have a direct communication link with God. He tells ya, "You're gonna be the prez of the US, Mikey." And then this orange turd of human being says, "Be my vice prez, and you'll be one heart attack way from the Oval Office." All you have to do is give up the entire moral structure you've based your life around. But God said it would happen, right?
Then the bronze shit stain tries to get you killed because you have one, single, last thread of what you were that even God himself wouldn't ask for you to give up. But still there's that hope. "But God said..." So you hang on while the golden idol's flying monkeys boo you every time you step in front of a crowd. You hang onto hope until finally you realize what you thought was God --in fact-- was your own inner dialog bouncing around the insides of your cavernous skull.
That's why Pence, after it was all said and done, finally won't endorse the antichrist.
I wish that mattered.
Not surprised in the slightest.
it's a shame he didn't have this opinion a bit earlier... say... Jan 2021?
it's "nice" that he said that, but.. too little too late dude
I am. I thought he'd lost his spine again.
$10 says he would have accepted being VP again.
Pence knew what Trump was planning. He even went to former Vice President Dan Quayle for advice.
All Pence had to do was go on some of the national news shows and personally tell the public that Trump had lost and that Biden would be sworn in not matter what.
He even went to former Vice President Dan Quayle for advice.
A man who's mainly remembered for being an enormous dumbass
Two thoughts.
Yes, he picked a man known as an idiot to decide the fate of the Republic.
Compared to most of the current GOP, Quayle stands like a colossus
Media: Mr. Pence, will you be endorsing Trump in 2024?
Pence: No. Wait yes... maybe? Wait... yeeee-no. No. Yeah I'm sure. Yes. I mean no. No.
I think Mother was done with all of it.
It's mildly interesting to consider how many people Trump has near-literally shat on just for them to open their mouths and say yes please after. Why not Pence? This can't be a spine, right?
At one point he said it wasn't a fair play for Trump to try to have him hung, but then later apologized for saying that
Could be that Pence is one of the people Trump is planning have his revenge on.
I almost forgot about Mike Pence. The only thing I remember about him is I thought he was well spoken. I didn't agree with anything he said but I liked his voice for some reason.
He looks like a used condom
he's been fucked like one.
That’s…surprising? A republican with some sort of a spine. Huh.
It's not spine. It's the MAGA wanting to murder him leopard eating his face.
Fair point.
A spine would make him endorse Biden, this is more of "he actually tried to murder me, I won't endorse anyone then".
The fly finally got control of the host.
Every time I see this guy he looks a little.more like cotton hill
Wait, wait, wait, there was a spine under that facade after all?
The stick was shoved far enough up that it provided some support.
