1. Hiding at a recieving dock,

he refused to get in the car because trump wanted him dead..
No vp no vote certification.

[RockRaven]

7. Even if the USSS actually safeguarded his life, they still could be complicit in the coup.

USSS is corrupt and compromised as fuck.

[erronis]

22. Based on my limited exposure, I think the USSS needs to be deep cleaned.

[Demsrule86]

31. He would have been murdered...probably an excuse for Trumps emergency crap...

[ultralite001]

14. This...

That is all...

2. The Former VP does not curse

But the blond with him, her face is saying, “ that orange motherfucker is trying to kill you”

[Beachnutt]

4. Wow, take a close look at her face

she pissed

[Emile]

6. She sure is!

[Totally Tunsie]

5. I believe that's his daughter Charlotte.

She'd be correct in her assessment.

[bottomofthehill]

9. Wow, you are right.

I have seen her a bunch of times, clearly there was a lot of stress that day. She looks 10 years older than she is.

[Paladin]

30. She'll look better, once Daddy's presidential campaign is rolling.

It's bound to happen. And with fuckstick competition like trump, DeSantis, and Cruz, Pence will have a shot at it. Democrats, we have our work cut out for us.

[Rebl2]

13. I believe that's

his daughter? I would be angry too if someone like tfg was trying to get my dad killed.

[IronLionZion]

25. Charlotte would know the power of social media

and that the President was trying to kill her Dad

[Woodswalker]

3. At a loading dock no less

[llmart]

8. And yet, after all was said and done...

Pence was still buddy buddy with his ex-boss.

Classic enabler personality.

[LoveMyCali]

10. This

is what I truly don't understand. Someone explain to me how you just go on as normal when you know someone was actively trying to kill you.

[llmart]

11. Brainwashed by religion.

n/t

12. Stockholm Syndrome for self-preservation?

Stockholm syndrome is a psychological response. It occurs when hostages or abuse victims bond with their captors or abusers. This psychological connection develops over the course of the days, weeks, months, or even years of captivity or abuse.

17. Right and you know he was thinking that because of what he said

"Tim, I know you and trust you but you're not the one behind the wheel."--VP Pence to his Secret Service detail after evacuating his office, refuses to get into his car.

[Ohioboy]

23. I'm with you

I can't understand that mindset.

[Marcuse]

33. Alright, so he tried to kill me. How can I best promote my interests given my current situation?

Realpolitik:
Politics based on practical objectives rather than on ideals. The word does not mean “real” in the English sense but rather connotes “things”—hence a politics of adaptation to things as they are. Realpolitik thus suggests a pragmatic, no-nonsense view and a disregard for ethical considerations. In diplomacy it is often associated with relentless, though realistic, pursuit of the national interest.[link:https://www.britannica.com/topic/realpolitik|

21. History has always had its heroes and its fools

This time period will be full of fools and enablers.

[erronis]

24. Because the CNP donors (evanges, kochs, etc.) are telling pence to keep kool.

While his heavenly god might not agree, his bank account probably does.

[FoxNewsSucks]

28. That was my first thought too.

Mullah-wannabe Pence re-attached his lips to that orange gelatinous ass as fast as he could.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

15. Daughter biting her lip really hard & has such a look of consternation. . . . nt

[Ilsa]

16. That's his daughter. nt

[Sedona]

18. Makes me almoat feel sorry for him

Almost.

[Ohioboy]

20. And tons of brain washed Trump supporters surrounding the Capitol

To think that these plotters put our country in that much peril pisses me off the most.

[Novara]

26. He just wanted Pence out of the capitol so he couldn't do his job and certify the election results.

Jeebus, it wasn't a murder plot. If he was going to have Pence murdered, he'd have had the mob get to him. They had the gallows, they were ready to kill him. He wouldn't have had Pence whisked away from the capitol. If he wanted him murdered, he'd have left in in a vulnerable place in the capitol building.

You all know he has others do his dirty work for him.

[ymetca]

27. "Hey Dad

you might wanna rethink getting in that car..."

Did she hand him her phone?

All these points where it could have gone either way.. Hard to even think about it.

[bigtree]

29. kick

[Skittles]

32. poor thing

trying to do right without pissing off the cult
