Pence says 'history will hold Donald Trump accountable' for January 6th

The word “pence”.

I will never get to see Trump held accountable, I'm 75 years old. Maybe my 9 year old grandson will see Trump held accountable?

Guess Mikey's not going there!

History's judgement is not the same as Judicial judgement.

I'm still cynical about the courts ever holding TFG accountable for his actions. "Rich" old white men with political connections seem to take a different glide path in our court system. Maybe someday that will change, but....

how about you honor the goddamned subpoena and testify instead claiming bullshit privilege you don’t have

Republican elitists think they are special. They do not respond to legal subpoenas, or otherwise respect American jurisprudence.

Repubs have abandoned honor, integrity, honesty, and loyalty to America. They have disgraced themselves.

Sad.

Not himself. Pence seems to to want to be on the invisible side of history. Unless this means he is ready to testify.

he loses his phony hero status..

GQP are eliminating history in schools and the Tuckum’s of the party write their own version. How will that hold the fat boy accountable? I hope flies lay eggs in your skull, MAGAt Brain! (Not a good one like “Maggot Brain”, Funkadelic 1971. Helleva, song, amazing guitar)
The GQP “invertebrates” like Pence, Graham and McCarthy to name a few, are not even in our Class, Family, Genus and Species. They fit well out there with slugs, jellyfish, Amoebas and protozoans. Some of the least “evolved” of all species. They are freaking Devolving as we watch. It is amazing how they stand erect though. Next generation, they will need to move like amoebas streaming protoplasm to pull themselves along.
Let’s not forget “Sponges” in the subphylum of non vertebrate's. The GQP are serious sponges, sucking up ALL our tax revenue.

We know what history will say. Justice now, would be nice.

Still on his knees from all the boot licking.... thinks he is saying something brave. What a sad loser.

Pence rebuked Trump for his role in the January 6, 2021 attack, saying he was “wrong.” What a bad ass
mother fucker it is not like Trump wanted Pence lynched so he could declare martial law, bring on his proud
boys/oath keeper goons who were waiting to attack our Nation's democracy, and stop our Constitutional
democracy from installing the legally elected POTUS.

There just aren't words quite strong enough to express the disgust I feel for Pence and his response to J6 and what happened that day. Further down this thread I saw "cardboard cut-out" and "limp dick"... those probably come closer.

... other side will try to use the stories about Russia and the election to question the President's win
as not being legitimate."

he was picked by Putin to be V.P. too.

Mike Pence Could Be the Next President and He Was Handpicked by Paul Manafort

I prefer a lot sooner.

and completely in court.

Fuck you, mike pants. Why don't you go tell it to that Grand Jury?

Instead of talking to Dan Quayle, he should have called the FBI and homeland security.

When he knew TFG was in cahoots with the Russian oligarchs as conduits to Putin (remember who picked him for VP), he could have put country first. Hell he could have put his career first, turn on tRump and become president.

He let all of it happen. Kids in cages. Rushed execution of potentially innocent people...etc

It's like you standing by a river watching someone drown. No help from you. (history will hold accountable!) GO AWAY you lowlife fucker!

floundered on everything that happened afterward. History is written by the winners. And we are still in a battle for our American freedom and liberty. Pence could have helped protect history by providing testimony that would surely give the last chapter a proper ending.

But the Republicans sure aren't gonna.

I would prefer that the justice system hold him accountable.

His political ambitions have Trumped his sense of morality.

I want his ass in prison....NOW.

tRUMP out of office, and go grab some cabinet members and force tRUMP out of office when 1/6 happened...you were constitutionally able to remove tRUMP and DIDN'T.

... which isn't unanimous in the GQP.

25 months and counting

That traitor's beloved hair furhair is not even indicted yet 24.33 months after his attempted coup d'etat and stealing of TS/CSI documents.

National Security is waiting while everyone is at risk (probably since January 2017)... still not even just indicted yet!

And that despicable religious weasel will be working with the Fascists to erase History if his beloved hair furher is not in prison for the rest of his criminal life or locked in a mental institution a day before the 00.00 countdown mark if he wins the Fascists nomination.

to testify against him.

Seems the best way to hold Trump accountable is for a court of law to have all the facts and you're not just a witness, you were a participant. Republicans say things but their behavior tells otherwise.

hold tfg accountable mr. pence would be for you to testify against him under oath.

History, at its best, tells the truth about events. The whole truth. Not just names and dates, but the good, the bad, and the very ugly. But it does not offer accountability - it offers an accounting of events. Not the same at all.

Sure, one can read history and look back at the actions of people, either directly or funneled down through policies, and deem those actions wrong - but that's not holding anyone accountable.

History, in America, has never been at its very best.

It has never told the complete truth. People have had to fight to get the full truth, the actual facts told, and they have faced pushback every step of the way. Look at what is happening now and look at your own past experience with being taught history.

If you have ever caught yourself asking. "Why wasn't that taught in school?" (And you know you have), then you already know the history you were taught was not history at all - it was a decided upon narrative that did not reflect the actual history of a time or an event.

And an incomplete history that leaves out marginalized people, and downplays atrocities, is an incomplete history that has been selectively curated to push a certain narrative.

Nothing about that says accountability.

My dad was President of Gridiron during Clinton’s presidency. I went to the big March dinner and show a couple of times, since he was a member for over 20 years.

Gridiron, besides being off the record (though stuff inevitably leaks out every year), is an event where levity and satire are expected from the highest levels. “Serious” is neither expected nor desired. That Pence spoke at all is a testament to how little humor the Republicans are capable of.

Well said!

At Gridiron, each party selects a speaker to give a funny speech. Then maybe the Vice-President speaks, and the final speaker in the President of the United States tops off the speeches. If you're good, you're good. If you're not, you bomb.

At my first Gridiron, Jimmy Carter had just taken office a couple of months earlier (March, 1977). Fritz Mondale spoke before Carter, and made fun of the fact that Carter, after his being sworn in, walked back to the White House to show he was a president of the people. Mondale turned it around to say that he, Mondale, was the real power in the White House. This was proven by the fact that he rode to the White House in a heated, chauffeur-driven limousine, while poor Jimmy Carter was forced to walk. This brought the house down, as did Carter's opening statement mentioning the remarks of the "acting Vice-President."

When I was there last, the Democratic speaker was House minority leader Richard Gephardt. He was just NOT funny, and bombed miserably. The Republican speaker was Bill Bennett, who, though a religious and ideological nut case, was nonetheless one of the funniest speakers in Washington with a great sense of humor. But the Clintons were the absolute stars of the night. Bill with his updated, downsized new Contract With America, and Hillary, who, traveling in Pakistan at the time, left her "Hillary Gump" video, which had everyone, including Gingrich, convulsed with laughter.

Mike Pence in a setting like that? That's like inviting the Pope to a circumcision.

A penis ought not be, an exception for rules, that prohibit removal of parts that are "you".

Yet still to this day, this butchery proceeds, with dicks in the lips of those making them bleed.
It's licensed and practiced all over the world, with blessings from "YAHWEH", the "God" that they dread!

No reasonable person would ever assert that dicks are for cutting right after a birth.
The pain it inflicts on the child, soon a man, is literally irreparable, not ever, in hand.

The penis's frenulum roughly contains, 4000 nerve endings, for pleasure and pain.
Removing the foreskin that lubes and protects, is bereft of reason, it punishes sex.

Dismembering dicks of a lad as a babe, is crime that I'm angry 'bout still to this day.

May reason rule.

Anyone that supports the GOP is complicit in it's ongoing crimes against humanity.

Pence is a Nat-C through and through.

Germany abolished the National Socialist Party.

The GOP is America's National Socialist Party.

Abolish the GOP!

May reason rule!
