[DURHAM D]

Pence is in Ukraine pretending to be the VP

[Sneederbunk]

1. He has 4 years of experience pretending to be VP.

[treestar]

12. LOL!

So true!

[skip fox]

2. He's kicking off his campaign!

It's clear he has few avenues to the WH, so this is a "hail Mary."

[Auggie]

9. Yep

[brush]

25. Yep. Trying to shore up his foreign policy chops.

It won't work. He's determined though. Gotta give him that. But he's forgetting they tried to hang him, and they won't forget.

[PatSeg]

44. Yes, he is running for President

No point in missing an opportunity like this.

[Caliman73]

3. He's trying to look like he cares...

He is operating under the delusion that he has a chance at becoming the Republican Nominee and President in 2024.

[PatSeg]

46. Kind of sad, isn't it?

I guess once you get bitten by the "President bug", you are infected for life.

[Caliman73]

47. He is a grifter. Shameless.

His "holier than thou" presentation is bullshit. He was a "shock jock" on radio before he became Governor of Indiana and the VP pick. He was also almost dead broke.

He took the gig with Trump and got some riches off of it. He likely needs more.

I agree that some people are drawn to the office and many will run more than once. President Biden ran several times. The difference, and I say this generally between Democrats and Republicans. Democrats will usually run out of a sense of service to Country. Republicans seem to want to run to get the power and riches that may come with the office.

[PatSeg]

49. Yes, that pretty much sums it up

For republicans, political office is an opportunity to exploit and enrich oneself. In recent years, republican presidential primaries have been hysterical as every clown and snake oil salesman hops onboard the grifter train.

They all have something to sell (Gingrich and Huckabee - books and tapes) and what better way to get free publicity. I'm not sure what Herman Cain was selling, but like so many, he was not a serious candidate. And Ben Carson? That was just weird. He did end up as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, but I don't think that was his initial objective.

I guess politics truly does make strange bedfellows and if you are a republican, stranger still.

[Pantagruel]

4. Pence is running

for POTUS. Appearance explained.

[MissMillie]

5. WTF?????

You could have put that in the title of your post

[SergeStorms]

6. I don't see anything there....

where he claims to be the VP. A private citizen, yes, but any private citizen can visit Poland or other adjoining country to Ukraine and see the border.

Samaritans Purse; is that anything like a "prison wallet"? 🤔

[Thomas Hurt]

7. Pence 2024! Don't hang me please.

[dalton99a]

10. +1

[SergeStorms]

13. Someone has made ink stamps....

a that say "Trump for president 2024" and are stamping all the money. I crossed it out with a black Sharpie!

Trump is going to end up with all of that stamped money though, so they're not only wasting their money, they're wasting their time too.

[agingdem]

8. Fly-head Pence...trying way too hard

to rid himself of the Trump stink...no can do...and about that "perfect phone call"...

[SergeStorms]

18. No one could ever forget....

his fawning, loving gazes at the back of Trump's head though. His "campaign" will never get off the ground.

[Mr. Ected]

11. The man whose ass your lips were attached to, Mike

Is one of the chief causes of this massive human rights catastrophe.

Too little, too late. God knows what happened.

[mopinko]

14. samaritan's purse is a rw org.

they were the ones who set up hospital tents in central park in the early days of the plague. iirc, they got kicked out for dissing lbgtq ppl.

[SergeStorms]

20. I wondered.....

if it was the same thing as a "prison wallet".

[mopinko]

21. just another grift

i think it comes from some bible verse. of course.

[Ilsa]

27. They do good deeds, but only for the people

they decide is worthy of it. They are too RW for me to donate to. I'd rather donate to my local church, which also send money for international aid, and to the Red Cross, etc.

[mopinko]

29. yup. and we all know who they think is worthy, and who they think isnt.

[Ilsa]

38. Yep, they get their stinky pants in a knot over

the slightest things, like pronouns, on top of bigger issues.

[ironflange]

30. It's a Franklin Graham outfit

Enough said.

[mopinko]

34. ah ha. thank you.

i couldnt remember who it was, but remembered it was a known con artist.

[AngryOldDem]

32. Samaritan's Purse is a Franklin Graham scam.

He started it. Most likely it’s Franklin’s Purse. Hell will freeze over before I donate to that.

[Zeitghost]

52. It's not my choice when considering charitable giving

But it seems to be a reputable organization with high marks for transparency that distributes the vast majority of their donations. Do you have any reason to believe Charity Navigator is wrong?

https://www.charitynavigator.org/ein/581437002#:~:text=Exceptional,with%20Confidence%22%20to%20this%20charity.

[Wingus Dingus]

15. I'm OK with it.

[Emile]

16. Who paid for his trip?

[lagomorph777]

17. Probably in Poland, not Ukraine.

[SergeStorms]

19. Exactly.

He's looking at the border from the relative safety of Poland.

[DFW]

40. That's what I was thinking, too

It sounded like he was on the Polish side of the border, looking across.

I'll bet any suggestion that he drive a few dozen KM eastwards to get a real idea of what was going on would have been met with 167 versions of "no, thanks."

[tavernier]

61. More like he's at Epcot Center.

Next stop the water slide in Mexico.

[Hortensis]

22. Probably Polish, tho Pence should be safe at the Russian border also.

As vice president, Mike Pence spent four years defending Donald Trump as he cozied up to Putin, sold out our allies, undermined U.S. intelligence agencies, and threatened to withhold military aid from Ukraine."

And more that hasn't been established in court yet.

[gab13by13]

23. Fuck Mike Pence,

He was all for abolishing NATO before it became unpopular to be pro-Russian. He is a member of the Putin Party with a Putin puppet as its leader.

[brush]

28. I like "Putin party", let's label them with that 24/7.

[2naSalit]

42. +1

[SheltieLover]

24. Trying to upstage Kamala!

[2naSalit]

43. Bet he only decided to go...

After hearing that the REAL VP was going.

[SheltieLover]

50. The fly would have a better run at vp than spineless Pence

[2naSalit]

54. ...

I used to buy weird greeting cards for their graphics or wit. I had one which had a hand-tooned image of a lot of flies. Inside it read, 10,000 Flies can't be wrong, eat shit.

I think of that every time I see or hear of the hairfly!

[SheltieLover]

55. Hahaha!

Love it!

I think "eat shit" everytime a qpuke surfaces in the news.

[2naSalit]

58. I thought you would.

I can't write what comes to mind every time a qpuke surfaces in the news.

[SheltieLover]

59. Absofuckingloutely not!

Me either.

[Blue Owl]

26. Kinda surprised they're not in Mother Russia

[mopinko]

31. he's there for the grift. i wonder how many more wingnut will want a piece of this action.

funder plug right the in front of god and everybody.
do they ever tweet w/o a plug for the latest grift?

[Chainfire]

33. I think that me man is so delusional that he thinks he as a future in national politics.

Mikey, I am sorry, but nobody but your mother likes you. He is the one politician that is despised by both camps. Nothing spells loser any more than a former, one term, Vice President.

[AngryOldDem]

37. Agreed.

He’s dead to Trump, which means he’s dead to the GOP.

This is nothing more than shameless, cynical promotion for “Christian values” and $$$$$$$.

How much is he getting from Franklin Graham to do this, I wonder? And why don’t the authorities tell him to GTFO?

[Totally Tunsie]

35. Someone needs to tell him Ukrainians can't vote

for POTUS.

He pretended for 4 years to be VP to a cretin who pretended to be President for 4 years...great qualifications there, Pencie!

[AngryOldDem]

36. Mike -- getting in the way.

For a fucking photo op. I hope it was made clear to both him and Mother that are on their own here.

This is really making my blood boil. Talking to that asshole is the last thing the Ukranians need to be doing.

[Deep State Witch]

39. Samaritan's Purse

Gag. Franklin Graham's charity. Because those Ukrainians need some good old Republican Jeebus as well as food and shelter. Never mind that the Ukrainians have been Christians since 988.

[czarjak]

41. Brownie-Pointer

[2naSalit]

45. What? No paper towels?

[imaginary girl]

48. Is it just me, or does the kid look like he's not buying it? Lol! Nt

[sinkingfeeling]

51. Guess who's running for president in 2024.

[jcgoldie]

53. Maybe he went to ukraine for safety

No magas looking to hang him.

[kentuck]

56. His Daddy, Trump, will not like that.

He might come back and say something that contradicts Pootie?

[FakeNoose]

57. I bet he's getting ready to run for something

Needs some good meet-the-refugee photos in his portfolio. Makes him look "presidential."

Just sayin'

[DET]

60. Shameless. He has no business getting in the way over there.
