dameatball's Journal2016-2021: So when did Mike Pence become expendable?
I always assumed that Pence was picked as VP in order to assuage those evangelicals who might be concerned about Trump's sordid past. Maybe it was. It isn't like Pence was immensely popular for any political expertise. But somehow, over a few years, Pence became totally irrelevant except as a Trump rubber stamper and hanger on. Whatever major players he had seemed to bring to the table were now in the Trump camp and no longer gave a s*** about Pence, even to the point that they still support Trump after the Capitol invasion and the attempts to capture and/or kill him.
Can we now put to bed this fable that Evangelicals are remotely concerned with any morality that doesn't fit into a political narrative? I think the answer is quite apparent.
To clarify:
Everyone is expendable to Trump. The OP is about Evangelicals, the Republican party and the now exposed facade of morality that brought Pence into the equation to begin with. Says a lot about Evangelicals.
So if Trump has an "alternative" inauguration/2024 announcement, who pays for it? Is the RNC on the
hook somehow, even though he may very well be a convicted felon by 2024? His current fundraising scam is about somehow still winning the election, is it not? Wondering how that all plays out.
One thing for sure, whoever hosts such a boondoggle better ask for money up front.
Was just in my doctor's office and they had Trump's puss conference/drug announcement on.
A 60ish couple, well dressed for my poor little red town, sat watching from across the waiting room:
Husband: "He looks so tired. He has aged a lot."
Wife: "They have put him through so much."
I managed not to laugh but just had a big smile as my name was called. We all have these experiences, yet it never, ever ceases to amaze.
From the "In Case You Didn't Know" dept: Rick Santorum is still a clueless asshole.
2020: The year that finally killed the "I'm not votin cuz they're all the same" excuse.
If the Trump family ends up at a crappy hotel outside of Chernobyl, ala Schitt's Creek, are we
still on the hook for Secret Service?
Is it unusual to have voted in every election since 1976 and NOT ever been "polled?"
Never by phone. Never in an exit poll. I have always been registered and had a telephone. I have been contacted by fundraisers so it isn't that I'm hard to find.
Hey, maybe I am the margin for error.
I am envisioning an empty auditorium, lights gone dark and Trump still screaming into a dead mike.
Got my signed Cohen book today. Signature looks like a drunk paper clip. Eh.
A simple phrase: Republican National Trump Rally. Don't let Jacksonville rake in the dough under
false pretenses. It will not be the RNC. It will be a rally. Tie Jacksonville and the Republican Party to an increasingly unpopular "President." Make it plain. Let Jax pols chew on that and own it.
