On Oct. 3 2016, Mike Pence took to the stage for his first and only US vice presidential debateand calmly lied through his teeth about Donald Trump for 90 minutes. He lied about whether Trump had said more countries should have nuclear weapons. He lied about Trump saying he wanted to punish women who had abortions. He lied about Trump defending dictators. He lied about Trump doing business with Russia. Every time his opponent, vice-presidential candidate Tim Kaine, brought up a statement by Trumpa public, documented statement, the veracity of which Americans could easily validatePence did not embellish. He simply smiled and lied.
Seven months later, Pence is still lying, only now the lies have become more dangerous. Today, Americans face a dual threat from Pence: first, in his capacity as vice president and as a key player in an administration rife with scandal and possibly treasonous activity; and second, as the potential inheritor of the tarnished presidency as talk of impeachment accelerates. Mike Pence spent months trying to hide the truth about Donald Trump. It is important that Americans do not make the same mistake with Pence.
Impeaching Trump, in other words, would not free the US from the dark specter of collusion and betrayal that has swept over it since Trump took power. Although Trump has lowered the bar for president immeasurably, Americans must not forget that behind Pences smooth smile is a calculating politician with a track record of oppressive policymaking and a knack for dishonesty. The answer to the question Trump or Pence? is always neither.

(764 posts)... Pence's lying can be seen by watching his eyes. He squints both eyes while telling what probably is a lie like "Trump team has not talked to the Russians". While this is possibly an attempt at hiding the fact he is lying that move itself is a give away. He has wrinkles around his eyes he lies so much.
Trump Team has a couple lie give aways they use including a sneer and speaking out of the corner of their mouths while telling an untruth. They have done it some much lately some of them like Don Jr are wearing a sneer 24/7.
Glad Team Trump is back from the trip I have been working on watching their breathing and eye position to try and gain some more clues.
For entertainment this Trump Team is fascinating to watch but I have to remember they are oppressive and working to change the world order into an authoritarian power structure intent on breaking down all other governments and institutions.
Its going to get bumpy
