Pence cancels Florida vacation
By Josh Dawsey

Vice President Pence is no longer going to Florida on vacation as planned this week, administration officials say. Pence is instead staying back in Washington as the president seeks to overturn results in a number of states with unproven allegations of widespread voter fraud, officials say.

Pence argued to senators Tuesday they should stick with the president and gave a presentation on legal actions the team planned to file in many states. But Pence has been largely out of the limelight and did not attend a news conference that he was invited to attend in Philadelphia last week to allege fraud

The invitation by some of the president's outside advisers was declined by Marc Short, the vice president's chief of staff, who believed it would be inappropriate for him to attend.

I can send you to yesterday afternoon's update at 5:06 p.m.

I found out the hard way.

1. I like the way the media keep constantly stating it's all unproven

[dweller]

2. F'n snowflake

too much rain?

✌🏻

[Bengus81]

3. Why Pence?? You job is out the window in 70 days anyway............

Trump demands companionship even if it means contracting covid.

[OnDoutside]

7. Because Pence could still become 46, even for a day.

[radical noodle]

17. Bingo!

Just long enough to pardon trump and his evil spawn.

[Totally Tunsie]

19. ...and to ruin any printings that the "Biden #46" camp might

have in progress.

I'd hate to be a presidential souvenir vendor right about now. They want to get ahead on building their inventories with "Biden #46'' printed materials, but do they take the chance?

[radical noodle]

22. I hadn't considered that

but yeah... You know they want a bunch of stuff to sell at the inauguration, although covid may reduce the number of people who attend this time.

[OnDoutside]

23. And President for a day is better than Vice President forever.

[Bengus81]

27. Taking a vacation doesn't mean that he relinquishes the VP spot

He's the legal sworn in VP until Jan 20th no matter what insane shit Trump does. He could be back in DC in two hours or sworn in in Florida if need be.

[radical noodle]

31. True but he may want

to be in DC to nudge trump in that direction. He's always wanted to have the title of president, even if just for a short time. He'd forever be in the history books (as the idiot who pardoned trump).

[My Pet Orangutan]

4. The hotel turned out to be a gardening shed.

[HoosierDebbie]

15. Good one!

Thanks for the chuckle!

[Trumpdumper]

5. 25th Amendment

He doesn't really need to be in town for it, but for posterity's sake, he probably wants to be physically present for 25-4 action, should it become incontrovertibly necessary in the next couple of days.

An aside -- When the late Sen. Birch Bath of Indiana was drafting the amendment in the mid-1960s, he probably didn't contemplate that the first serious consideration of application of Section 4 would fall on the shoulders of a fellow Hoosier politician or that such application might be executed via an unforeseen technology. Had he gone to Florida, Mikey could have Zoomed in the Cabinet members to deliver the blow.

[Freddie]

6. That's what I'm thinking

Bet he secretly wants to go into the history books as President Pence, even for 70 days.

[Captain Zero]

25. I'm thinking no moves can be made against Trump until after

these moronic Magats leave DC on Monday.
Whether it's lawsuits or constitutional moves there's no reason for it tobe done this week
and then have those morons come into DC.

I think all dems should get out of DC this weekend anyway.
So we can't be blamed for whatever the Magats tear up.

[ace3csusm]

8. Setting up the padron move folks

He knows he can't pardon himself and Biden will not do the heal nation...

[Roc2020]

9. Watching to see how Trump squirms out

of what the Law has waiting for him Jan 21st

[Roy Rolling]

10. Pence needs to stay close

In case Trump resigns in a deal to avoid jail.

It’s the only trump card he has left, if you’ll pardon the expression.

[gohuskies]

11. Why isn't the head of tRump's Covid Task Force at work instead of vacationing?

Proof positive that this maladmistration was never planning to deal with the biggest crisis in modern American history. Willfully allowing this pandemic to decimate hundreds of thousands and possibly a million of our fellow citizens makes the GOP the party of death and involuntary euthanasia. It is criminal and needs to be re-dressed by Dems.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

20. That was my first thought. Pretty bad optics for the GOP....

especially with virus case rates skyrocketing........

I'm betting that's why he was recalled, even though he is totally ineffective.

KY

[Totally Tunsie]

21. Well, Chump did say that we wouldn't be hearing any more

about COVID after Nov. 4 . Wishful thinking doesn't make it so.

[marble falls]

12. Putting the luggage on Marine 1 in an emergency flight is Pence's job. It's in his NDA with Trump.

[soothsayer]

13. I'll give a taunting "haw haw!"

[disalitervisum]

14. Pence should be sentenced to return to Indiana

and clean up the environmental disaster he and his family perpetrated there as well as Illinois and Kentucky. All of their shitty gas stations leaked petroleum product into the ground and water.

[riversedge]

16. I read about Pence family horrible enviromental gas station disasters awhile back.

just horrible.

[CaptainTruth]

18. Good! Stay away!!

[myohmy2]

24. probably...

...has to help hold trump's head as trump barfs into the bowl...

...the election and being a big fat LOSER has made trump sick...

...and a sick trump is spiteful trump...

...careful Mikey, he bites...

[obamanut2012]

26. It is probably because of Hurricane Eta

[JudyM]

30. This.

[mdbl]

28. He'll have to use the tanning booth instead

Oh bother.

[SayItLoud]

29. Let's cut to the chase; the weather sucks in Naples, Florida. NT

[SWBTATTReg]

32. Perhaps trump wants a pardon and will resign, and Pence moves up in place...wouldn't be surprised.

[MarianJack]

33. I wonder if some small part of him is relieved that they lost.

As of noon on 1/20/21 he'll no longer be required to kiss Dolt45's crusty "239" pound ass.
