VP Mike Pence got the vaccine and said, "I didn't feel a thing." The self-professed Christian also

[FSogol]

didn't feel a thing when his administration:

* forcibly separated children from their parents at the border with no plan to reunite them

* ignored a pandemic that killed 311,000 Americans (and counting)

* encouraged violence in the streets

* ignored gun violence

* spread hatred

* lied about everything at every opportunity

1. Does VP Bloodless ever feel anything?

Good to see you back.

[FSogol]

8. Thanks. Nice to see everyone here.

Hard to believe, but I was gone for almost 2 years!

[Aristus]

24. D'OH!!

[dalton99a]

26. +1

3. Ironically, he Azar and the Surgeon General ended the needle program in Indiana

That lead to a sizable HIV outbreak there.

[Chainfire]

4. A Sunday only Christian

Being Christian and Republican is a hard row to hoe.

[spanone]

5. he hasn't 'felt a thing' his entire life.

[patphil]

10. My sentiments exactly.

[Evolve Dammit]

22. Now that sounds accurate. Or he's been dead for decades. Either way...

[Shermann]

6. * puts a false god before God

...as he stares adoringly at Trump

[Traildogbob]

11. And as staring

His pose is like Young Frankenstein. Or someone in a full upper body and arm cast. Maybe it’s tension with the GOP rod way up his ass into his esophagus.

7. But don't forget

He's a " good christian " and they got the evangelical votes from all the other " good christians "

[Wicked Blue]

12. * betrayed our country to the Russians

*tried to overturn the results of the election

* threatened elected officials and election workers

* spread, and continue to spread the COVID-19 virus

[George II]

13. The doctor had his hand on his shoulder and grabbed his arm. He didn't feel anything? I guess.....

....he's already turned to a pillar of salt.

[Javaman]

14. that's why I've always referred to him as the sentient houseplant. nt

[BobTheSubgenius]

15. That "didn't feel a thing" just jumped off the page, didn't it?

Sometimes, the commentary seems to write itself.

Not that this isn't a good catch.

[IronLionZion]

16. The question was Do you regret losing 300,000+ American lives?

The pro-life answer is "I didn't feel a thing."

[marieo1]

17. Not a good Chrisian

I agree 100%, a good Christian would not have followed DJT down the rat hole.

[DeminPennswoods]

19. This won't be popular, but Pence did a good and the right thing today

He gave a nice speech for as much as one can when your crazy boss is watching your performance. Pence and his wife are highly respected in the evangelical community where anti-vaxxers and Trumpers reside. We can hope this will tamp down at least some of the conspiracy theories and other nonsense going around about the vaccine.

Adams gave good comments, too, directed at the AfAm community where polling shows distrust of the vaccine is high.

Fauci also gave good remarks and answered the top two concerns many Americans have about the vaccine, that it was not rushed, indeed is the product of many years of research, and that thanks to the 1,000s of clinical trial volunteers has been shown to be safe and effective.

This doesn't mean I approve of the things Trump did where Pence looked the other way, either.

[FSogol]

20. I agree. Publicly getting the vaccination was the right thing to do especially in the environment

he and Trumpy created.

Pence is now 1 for 1,322,947.

[Nasruddin]

25. Agreed

It's a late start but for once, Mike Pence has done the right thing. Credit where credit is due.

... your crazy boss is watching

Not going to let this excuse ride, the vice presidency is a constitutional office & the president has no power over him. We've had a few independent minded vice presidents that couldn't be managed - notably, for better and worse, Aaron Burr. Mr Pence could've been better all along.

[yaesu]

21. did mamma hold his hand? nt

[calimary]

27. And don't forget, he's ardently "pro-life."

Uh-huh. Yeah. “Pro-life” my ass.

[Jimbo S]

28. That's what his wife said

OK, cheap shot.

[robertpaulsen]

29. "I didn't feel a thing" is always his excuse for being oblivious. Even during debates.
