84. About "President Pence" . . .
Fri Nov 22, 2019, 04:42 PM
Nov 2019

There's been a spate of anti-Pence articles during the last year or so, telling us about Pence's eccentricities and outright rightwing extremism. I suspect this flood of anti-Pence propaganda was not all done by anti-Trump people, but that a good deal of it was worked up and promoted by Trumpettes in an effort to discourage Democrats and progressives from removing the Stable Genius from office. They hope that by convincing us that Pence would be worse than Trump, we will overlook all of Trump's chicanery and keep Pence from filling a vacancy.

Well, I am not sure that Pence is worse than Trump. I'm willing to give him a chance (at least until Election Day).
