32. It's baffling to me

Jan 2021

why Pence is against the 25th. He has presidential ambitions. He could be president for 11 days. In those 11 days, if he can immediately generate a spine for himself, he could work with Biden to get the vaccine off the snail doing the rollout and all kinds of impressive things. He gets his name in the history books as not just President but an effective rescuer, he gets good press for his presidential run, he's already roused the ire of crazy moron MAGAts so nothing to lose there. He has one chance to step up and do the right thing. But he can't seem to dislodge his lips from trump's ass. What a shame.
