Today Mike Pence had the fucking nerve to say this...

[spanone]

“the Republican Party is the party of law and order.”

Bwahahahahahahahaaaa

“I also want to remind my fellow Republicans we can hold the attorney general accountable for the decision that he made without attacking the rank-and-file law enforcement personnel at the FBI,” Pence said, asserting that “the Republican Party is the party of law and order.”

1. More like

the party of gaslighting liars.

[LymphocyteLover]

33. seriously... what an asshole

[Turbineguy]

2. Very humorous.

Don't give up your day job, Mike

[inthewind21]

4. Uh

He already did. He was fired!

[kentuck]

3. Maybe the J6 Committee should invite him in for a little tete a tete?

And let him talk...

[soldierant]

15. Another thing he said today was that

if they formally invited him to testify (I assume he meant a subpoena) he would "consider it."

[SergeStorms]

25. Damned "law and orderly" of him, right?

What the hell do these people see when they look in a mirror?

[patphil]

5. Did Pence fall on his head recently? Does he not remember what happened on Jan. 6?

Has he not been listening to all the violent howling coming from Trump's base?

It's an absolutely idiotic statement!

[RevBrotherThomas]

45. Republicans are TERRIFIED

of their moran-ic base, which trump wields like a kid who found his dad's 9mm under the couch.

[Caliman73]

7. They are the party of "wanting the law to impose their social order"

That is certainly true. Their whole philosophy is about maintaining the status quo and power structures they feel are the "natural order" They certainly want a police force to impose some kind of "order" on society, but they are certainly not the party for actual law in society as they believe that they are above the law and that laws only apply to the "lesser" people.

[C_U_L8R]

8. Spineless worm says what?

Pence can't even stand up for himself, much less the law.
Go back to your lukewarm bowl of oatmeal, Mike.

[The Unmitigated Gall]

9. Here's the thing.

Criminality and treason in the service of white privilege falls under the heading of “Law and Order” for these fucks. They see themselves in the self-righteous glow of a lynch-mob heading home for dinner after the killing.

[dchill]

19. The "self-righteous glow of a lynch-mob..."

Very nice and very accurate description of the quintessential Republican!

[G_j]

38. this

[Mr. Ected]

10. Had J6 gone down according to Trump GOP plans

This message would have been delivered today by the Estate of Michael Pence, deceased.

[yonder]

11. Your "law and order" damn near kept you from squeaking out that remark.

Count your lucky stars you're not dealing with rope burns (or worse) rather than a mouthpiece for lies.

[nowforever]

12. I think he meant to say

A 300lb orange dummy

[3Hotdogs]

13. You misheard him. He said "lawn order."

Who can’t get behind a lawn with no dandelions, mowed to 2 1/2 “, neatly edged?

[KS Toronado]

14. What he really meant........

“the Republican Party is the party of law and order unless there's an R behind your name"
"Hold Ds accountable, Rs are above the LAW"

[Brainfodder]

16. He aint dense Pence for nothing?

[Effete Snob]

17. It's a typo. He said "Lawn Odor"

It smells like someone let their dog loose.

[halfulglas]

18. The 5-year old wants to have his cake and eat it too.

He's stamping his feet saying, "Yes, we can still call ourselves the party of law and order" - of course it's a lie so don't get caught harassing cops or agents, don't let yourself be identified threatening them. In the meantime, the rank and file personnel was proud of the AG for standing up there and taking responsibility for the decision to send them to Mara-Slimo.

[dchill]

20. Blanched cauliflower says what?

[Rebl2]

21. Hey Mikey

F off🤬

[Mr. Evil]

22. Unbelievable!

This doofus still believes that he's going to be president someday because god reasons.

[SWBTATTReg]

23. The party of Law and Order? Seems like that most of these thugs were there in DC at the behest

of your law-breaking leader, who they still are trying to figure out all of the laws he's broke.

[SergeStorms]

24. Go shit in your hat, Pence.

The republican and the Trumpublican parties stand for criminality, lies, and racism.

Not one of them are worth the powder it would take to blow them to hell.

[liberal N proud]

26. I think January 6 put the mail in that claim

[pandr32]

27. That slogan is right up there with "fair and balanced"

What would they do if Democrats claimed it? We should put forth a memo so all Democrats make the claim when interviewed by the media AND use it as a slogan in all our ads and printed material.

Democrats actually are the the party of law and order.

[BWdem4life]

28. Law and order for the out-people. n/t

[OMGWTF]

29. Every day is "Opposite Day" in Rethuglican World.

[kacekwl]

30. Did anyone at this event think to ask

Mr. Dense, you know the party of law and order didn't give a fuck if you were killed by their army ? And trumps S S detail wanted to whisk you away to who knows where. Who could take any of these people seriously ?

[dslyahoo]

31. Any string of words

Anybody can string together 10 words that don’t make sense or aren’t true.

The 10 words “The Republican Party is the party of law and order” has as much sense and much less truth than the 10 words “The quick brown Fox jumped over the lazy dog’s back.”

Any statement made by them might as well just be “blah blah blah….” Makes as much sense.

[Evolve Dammit]

32. Pence is a total charade of a man. A xtian with zero morals or redeeming qualities. n/t

[LymphocyteLover]

34. Jesus F Christ, this lying POS liar

[Generic Brad]

35. The party of outlaws and disorder

I fixed it for him.

[NoMoreRepugs]

36. Mikey is becoming a standup??

[EndlessWire]

37. Stupidity reigns

"We can hold the attorney general accountable for the decision that he made..."

The decision he made was to keep tRump from potentially selling the nation's classified secrets to the highest bidder. The fact that it was a former pRes who stole them is irrelevant. The FBI did their job.

What is wrong with these people?? If Pence wants to ignore the fact that Trump wanted to watch him hung from a gallows, and that he was too afraid to get into the car with the SS, that's his decision, but it is the worst kind of hypocrisy to imply that Garland wasn't protecting the nation's interests when he authorized the FBI to enter a non secured location to retrieve classified docs.

He feeds into Donald's "I am a victim" scenario, issued to wiggle out of prosecution under the Espionage Act; he isn't smart enough to be President. He sticks with the Repubs while trying to appear to be on their side, and hedge his speech with "now, we can do this, but we shouldn't do this other thing." He's a cheap politician who will never be President (hopefully.)

I'll never forget his adoring looks at Donald while sitting behind him on stages.

[DownriverDem]

39. If folks don't understand

how serious all that is going on is, I just don't know. I truely fear for my country.

[Mister Ed]

40. They're the party that "backs the blue"!

Backs 'em right up the Capitol steps, then clubs 'em and maces 'em.

[Half-step]

41. So who wiped and rebooted Mike Pence?

It was my impression that the deplorable demographic of his party were lawlessly going to cause him great in a very disorderly fashion.

[stopdiggin]

42. trying to bring the heat down among the crazies

is probably not a bad thing to be coming from someone with R behind his name. Can we wish that he was more full throated, and slightly less 'nuanced', in defense of "law and order?" Sure. But I'll point out that we're not getting even this much out of the vast majority on that side of the aisle. So ...

[Hortensis]

56. Imo, definitely a good thing. And part of it is reminding less-crazy

RWers of their real support for authority and strong policing in the past and of their proud conceit of being the "law and order" party. They need that self image reinforced/restored, and the reminders have to come from members of their own tribe.

[stopdiggin]

57. Yes. We don't have to be big personal fans, to recognize that when somebody breaks

from the 'crazytown chorus' - it's a good thing overall for the country.

[Hortensis]

58. :) Time to stop our own diggin' and stand back.

[The Jungle 1]

43. Plus repukes support the military.

What a pile of puke.

[Heather MC]

44. The Republican party is the pro slavery Party

And hes not lying he just didn't complete the sentence, comma "the GOP is the party of law and order for all of those they want to control"

See, if he had just said that out loud, it would have been the truth lol

[flying_wahini]

46. Did you see Pence smirk when asked if he would comply with J6 committee if subpoenaed?

It looked like he had been waiting forever to be asked. Almost a big smile.

“I would have to reflect on the unique role that I was serving as vice president,” Pence continued. “It would be unprecedented in history for the vice president to be summoned to testify on Capitol Hill. But, as I said, I don’t want to prejudge ever any formal invitation rendered to us.”


“The American people have a right to know what happened,” Pence said.

[llashram]

47. pence is

such low-hanging fruit. A perfect representative of the lowest repug out there screaming about mar-a-leggo search. Go to hell pence.

[LudwigPastorius]

48. "Law and order"

The law is whatever their bloated, orange blob orders.

[MyMission]

49. Their law and their order

Which they make up as they go along!

[calimary]

50. He just forgot the "...my ass!" part.

[GoCubsGo]

51. Meanwhile, in Georgia, David Kemp's campaign has the unmitigated gall

to run ads falsely accusing Stacey Abrams of hating law enforcement, and wanting to defund the police. They're fucking shameless.

[jmowreader]

52. In further news...

The Republican Party today announced its Board of Directors for 2022 to 2028.

“We are pleased to announce that Boris Badenov, Tony Montana, Michael Mancuso, Eddie Nash and whoever is the number-two man at Al Qaeda this week have been appointed as the board of directors for the RNC. These fine gentlemen have proven their true Republican values and will be a credit to the organization.”

[Handler]

53. It is amazing that Pence can stand for anything being that he doesn't have even

the remnants of a spine.

[Hortensis]

54. He's trying to lead of course. Not true, but should be.

[Generic Other]

55. Sounds like something Clint Eastwood would say

standing next to a noose in a spaghetti western as he shoots all the good guys in town.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

59. The Republican party will make the trains run on time. Sieg Heil!

The NatC Republican party will purify laws, as they did with Roe v Wade, and order the proper solution to those (outside Party leadership) who fail to comply.

[BobTheSubgenius]

60. Once, they might have said that.

But even then, their version(s) of law and order gave little cause for pride, in my opinion.
