  1. He has a lot more class than I gave him credit for, not that I agree with him policy wise…

  3. Focus on building a constitution party that can make impeachment/removal actually possible, or American democracy is truly doomed.

  4. The fuck he been for all the other shit though?

  5. This headline is opposite what it should be. “J6 rioter, Pamela Hemphill, receives letter written by Mike Pence, praising her for declining a pardon for her actions.” Is what it should read.
    It should be about her, not him. She is a fine person, she did wrong, admitted it, served her sentence and stands by her choices (the good ones and the less than). Pence is doing the minimum, for a headline and the idea that he can remain relevant.
    She is not looking to remain relevant, but a tiny part of me is glad for it. That is even more reason she should be the subject of the headline.

  6. Bro pardoned Trump for 4 years. Fuck Mike Pence

  7. She is able to see her mistake and own up to it.

    That is extremely rare in American society and deserves recognition 

  8. She’s from Idaho and spoke at one of the 50501 rallies that was held in Boise.

    Rare good news with regard to rejecting MAGA in our state.

  9. I agree with him in this case but we have to remember that VP Pence is ultimately not a person that the majority of the country is aligned with. He did not win the 2024 primaries, is a outcast of MAGA and is definitely not well liked by the left either.

    In a democracy, the majority has a truth of its own. Popular support has a truth of its own. And so here this letter lacks credibility, because it lacks the support of someone with popular support.

  10. To do that is more than anything Trump could ever do!

  12. As Governor of Indiana he defunded needle exchange program during the height of big-pharma Oxycontin opioid epidemic addiction

    Instead of leading the charge of the big pharma drug sellers, he attacked the addicted which resulted in a HUGE HIV wave

    irredeemable, worthy of no praise.. a spineless pissant who probably voted for the man who encouraged his public hanging.

  13. I admire his strength in supporting the US Constitution.

  14. I don’t like Mike Pence but he at least has more honor for his country and respect for the constitution than any MAGA loyalists and supporters by not going along with Trump’s coup when many other GOP sycophants would’ve gladly done the same.

  16. I dont like Mike Pence. But I have to give credit where its due. Good job.

  17. …so this guy is the biggest idiot who ever lived, right? Can we agree on that?

    He sleepwalked through the entire first Trump administration blissfully acting as though working for this guy was the most Christian and most American thing a person could do, then when Trump commanded him to do his bidding re: election fraud he was… surprised? That KILLS me.

    And now he continues to show his sincerity in opposing J6 with this gesture? All those years did he not understand who the fuck he was working for? Did Mike Pence have any understanding of what was EVER going on around him until that day? Jesus Christ

  18. Unfortunately, the rest of them are now kidnapping people nationwide

  20. You don’t praise someone for feeding their pets, thats just something they should do, not do you praise someone for apologizing after breaking into someone else’s house and trashing it

  22. “Assistant principal gives lollipop to only student voluntarily remaining in detention.”

  24. This unlocks the unknown Mike Pence heart chest 

  26. Mike Pence is an opportunist who is part of the problem.

  27. Just in case… he wants to make sure he’s straddling the line… but not the one that almost got him hung

  28. It’s wild how much character this guy is displaying for someone who was so morally rudderless and opportunistic he became Trump’s VP. But I’ll throw some respect his way.

  29. Stupid for being a treasonous piece of shit and still stupid for not taking a pardon.
