I don’t think they were going to kill him. I think their play was to bring him off-site “for his safety” so he couldn’t certify the election, at most a kidnapping.
The whole thing was too noncommittal by the big players in case things went to shit, which it did. They didn’t have the balls to plan out an assassination of the VP.
It might have worked if they had the balls to do that, and other things.
The angry mob wanted to kill him, not the orchestrators that would have pull with the USSS. Do you think they were going to drive him out into the mob to the world’s shittiest gallows?
If it ever came out that people in the Trump administration actively participated in a well-defined plot to kill Pence, they would fry. That’s why they sicced the mob on the capital to commit spontaneous violence. Difficult if not impossible to prove conspiracy, and the people getting jail time would be the red hat morons, not the people in charge. Again, they (the orchestrators) were half-hearted cowards that were more concerned with saving themselves if it failed than doing anything to make sure it succeeded, and for this moment in time we should be thankful for that.
I’m sorry, why the fuck would make a ‘reminder’ and then attack people that learned something? Screenshot OP is more concerned with virtue signaling than actually educating the people he’s ‘reminding’. What a way to make sure that person will never be reachable with new info.
“I wanted to learn, bit the asshole who pretended to offer just wanted to humiliate me, so I’ll vote for the clown again. Cause I feel safe there”
He’s angry because it’s supposed to be a reminder, and not the first time someone has heard it. He’s framing it like it is common knowledge (which it should be) and is upset because someone clearly was not aware (which is the crazy part and why he is angry).
He’s not angry because the person is asking a question, he’s angry because the person didn’t know something that absolutely without a doubt should be known and understood by every single American.
He’s more angry at the scenario, not the person.
The American public used to care about whether a president wore a tan suit or put Dijon mustard on his sandwich. And that was less than a decade ago for goodness sakes. Now people “aren’t aware” that a president staged a coup, nearly got his vice president killed, and the sr people don’t care that he’s running again as a rapist fraudulent felon. We look incredibly fucking embarrassing on the world stage, and it’s all because of ignorant, brainwashed idiots.
They only reasons anyone cared about the color of the suit, the type of mustard being used, or his preferred lettuce was because of the color of his skin or the letter behind his name. I’ve also only heard of a terrorist fist-bump in the context of him, but I saw a whole lot of athletes and celebrities doing that for years before his presidential campaign.
Don’t legitimize racism and blatant partisan behavior.
I called out those things specifically because they were ridiculous at the time and the irony shouldn’t be lost on us at what the GOP ignores today, things that definitely aren’t as trivial.
I’m not legitimizing racism or partisan behavior, I think you missed my point. No worries though, we’re closer aligned in our thoughts than you likely think.
The one mystery that hasn’t been answered to my knowledge is why didn’t Pence want to get into the car with Secret Service?
He knew they were going to kill him. Ultimately there would be no other way around it.
Or he suspected they would kidnap him until he declared Trump the winner of the election.
He knew they would whisk him off to a “secure location” and he wouldn’t be able to certify the election. A big part of the Trump plan was for Pence to refuse to certify the election and throw the process into chaos. When he refused to do that they came up with a plan to physically remove him instead. Luckily he was smart enough to see through it.
Pence declined to endorse him, but is still gonna vote for him anyhow.
I mean, can’t let a blood pact with the devil himself go to waste. You know how much blood of the innocent that cost them?
There are few things I would agree with Mike Pence on, not endorsing someone who tried to get me murdered is definitely one.
Edit: TY, u/homesweethomeMrL! I left out the key word, “not” above. Ack!
I’m pretty sure pence toed the line, though. Like he’s not speaking against him either.
