Cleanup in Aisle Lunatic (h/t romad1)

[romad1]

I just heard something crazy

apparently Pence balked at his USSS detail about getting into a vehicle he was not familiar with? He was worried he could not trust where he would end up

on 6/Jan Coup day

Does anyone have a source/citation for that?

What I read was they wanted to take him away and he said to the guy something like “look… I like you but I know if I get in that car I am not coming back today”.  That could be read your way but I think he was referring to the need to finish the certification that day whatever it takes.  I am not thinking anything nefarious but the USSS.

That makes some sense from what I had heard.  He was committed to finishing the process come hell or high water.  If there is any truth to him actually being worried about an ultimate destination of that vehicle...that would be crazy.

You do realize that threating elected officials including past POTUS is a serious crime. Its a federal felony sherlock. Keep running your mouth.  This is a public forum. There must not be any mods here.  

You know what? You’re just not worth the hassle anymore.

please feel free to contact whatever “mod” you want.  But as far as I’m concerned, you can shove it. 
“Mods” don’t really appreciate your insults. Well… this one doesn’t.

I called 911

Treason is a capital offense. Suggesting a politician committed treason and should be prosecuted and if convicted given punishment available is not a crime. 
 

so go somewhere else with that bull shit. That dog don’t hunt here.

Liz who organized the former SecDefs to prepare for the coup back in December 2020, is really doing work here.

You mean to tell me that all the folks at Fox who have said this was all NBD were all begging him to stop the violence?

Shocking.

Never considered this possibility, but it makes sense in retrospect

Amen Liz!!!!! I am watching Rachel Maddow right now and heard Liz Cheney reading texts from Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Brian Kilmeade, and others. All these Benedict Arnold Fox News hosts new what a serious situation the insurrection was when it happened and then went on air on Fox later to downplay the gravity of the situation or blame it on others (ANTIFA) who had nothing to do with it.

CNN should have Chris Cuomo on now. That might get their attention.

So can Paul Ryan as a Fox board member speak up?

That headline "more interested in attacking Trump" is something else. He insighted the insurrection to happen in the first place. Who the hell else are they supposed to investigate for insighting an insurrection?

[pfife]

I'm pretty sure the committee was spending time attacking meadoes and hanity last night, not trump lol

Paul Ryan is a putz. Always was, always will be. He gained his 15 minutes of fame by wowing a segment of know-nothing journalists with a level of know-nothingness just slightly less than their own.

My favorite ever Wikipedia edit was when Paul Ryan showed up on the list of invertebrates.
