      I hesitated posting that one, because I am really not interested in boosting the stock of a self-admitted Christian Nationalist. But in this case, he did the right thing during the attempted insurrection. There’s no denying it, because if he hadn’t then it’s unlikely that anyone would have been able to hold any of them accountable. Especially not with the current court’s roster.

        I view Pence not stealing the election in the same vein as Hitler diving into a river to save a drowning baby. Yeah, okay, Thats great an all…but it doesnt change the fact that you’re a nazi piece of shit, nor does it erase any of your crimes against humanity, nor does it make you less deserving of a bullet in the brain.

        which I guess is why hitler is better than pence and trump, because he did what they wouldnt, and ate the bullet. (Hyperbole and sarcasm before someone comes in to well ackshually me as defending hitler or something)

        Rest assured, I fully agree with you. I’m just flabbergasted by the absurdity of this whole situation.

      Let’s be clear here… Pence refusing to get in the car being driven by Trump loyalist SS saved Democracy that day.

      His demand to return to work and finish the process was downright admirable, regardless of how shitty he is otherwise.

        He only refused to get in the car cause he thought his SS were in Trumps pocket and would disappear him. It was self preservation, not dedication to democracy.

        This is a good point, people are the sum of their good actions and negative actions. They don’t cancel each other out though.
