Funny thing, he was caught on tape boasting about almost word for word what he had already been credibly accused of. The arrogance is breathtaking...

Causing him grief is just an incidental side note to proving that the rich powerful and connected are not above the law. Also try substituting “contempt” for hate. Many prominent Republicans are disgusted by his simian antics, in private many more find his gauche, parvenue poor-white-trash-with-money shtick an embarrassment. For hate look no further than the court jester Tucker Carlson who if you look closely has had a nose job to make it fit DJT’s ample arse crack. No wonder he hates Trump.

Oh you concede that there WAS a “riot”?
That’s a step up from “normal tourist day”.

We ARE making progress here aren’t we...?
😊

Semantics. You and your wild eyed friends have proven nothing except how to make yourself look like fools. Contrarian oppositional defiant teenagers.
Time to grow up junior.

I’ve got a better idea. Why don’t you move to Russia where intolerance of opposing or different ideas to your own has been institutionalized. You may fit in better there but careful what you think. Vladimir is listening....

I guess you missed the part where Pence was constitutionally obligated to certify the results of the election. He had no choice but to certify or commit a criminal act himself.

While Pence in my view is too ardently religious to be an effective president he does appear to be a decent man beset by his own political ambitions.

Right, and up is down, black is white and there is no such thing as objective reality...

Essentially correct.

Who would have thunk it?

'History will hold Donald Trump accountable' for Jan. 6, Pence says

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Former U.S. Vice President Mike Pence offered his most forceful rebuke to date of his one-time boss Donald Trump on Saturday, saying that history will hold him accountable for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Pence was in the Capitol when thousands of Trump supporters breached the building in an attempt to stop Congress from certifying the results of the 2020 presidential election, which Trump lost to Joe Biden.

As the vice president has the constitutional role of Senate president, Pence was presiding over what had always been the ceremonial task of approving the votes of the Electoral College to select the president and vice president.

Throughout the siege, Trump sent several tweets, one calling on Republicans to “fight” and others making false claims of voter fraud. He also criticized Pence for certifying the results.

“President Trump was wrong,” Pence told assembled journalists and their guests at the Gridiron dinner, an annual white-tie event in Washington, D.C.

“I had no right to overturn the election, and his reckless words endangered my family and everyone at the Capitol that day, and I know that history will hold Donald Trump accountable.”

Pence, who is considering a run for the Republican nomination for the 2024 presidential election, was whisked to safety by law enforcement during the attack.

He rarely addressed Jan. 6 in the months following the incident, but has since upped his criticism of the rioters and the behavior of his former boss that day.

He has sharply criticized Trump’s conduct in recent media interviews, and in a memoir released in November, he accused Trump of endangering his family.

Still, Pence’s comments on Saturday were his most pointed to date.

“What happened that day was a disgrace,” he said. “And it mocks decency to portray it any other way. For as long as I live, I will never, ever diminish the injuries sustained, the lives lost, or the heroism of law enforcement on that tragic day.”

A spokesperson for Trump did not immediately respond to a request for comment outside business hours.

Pence’s relationship with Trump has been complex since the two left office. He had criticized the former president’s behavior but refrained from the most stinging rebukes of Trump. He also declined to cooperate with the House of Representatives committee investigating the Capitol attack, describing the work done by the mainly Democratic body as partisan.

The former vice president’s comments on Saturday indicate he is willing to more forcefully distance himself from Trump as the 2024 campaign heats up - even if that means alienating the millions of Republican voters still loyal to the former president.

His remarks came just days after conservative television host Tucker Carlson aired security footage of the Capitol attack, claiming that many of the rioters were “orderly.”

Carlson’s depiction of Jan. 6 was sharply criticized by Democrats and several high-profile Republicans in the Senate, though many other Republicans - particularly in the House - shrugged off the episode.

He is also the most balanced President in history with a chip on each shoulder...

True but perhaps we should be grateful that OPP is at least an outlet for dirty underwear to be hung out in public and accept there is going to be some smelly aspects to some posts.
Anger Management groups provide a drop in for chronic rageaholics and it’s safe to vent in a controlled setting for some.
OPP has by default become such an outlet but I would caution against reacting to something that is no more than a demand for attention from a disturbed individual.

Better we observe and move on to more important issues like how we can stop or at least slow the runaway train of social division in this country.

No, most of them can’t. Look at who some of them support. This personal attack style is indicative only of a lack of intellectual rigor and chronic cognitive dissonance bought on by a paucity of ideas.

I am impressed that you folks are finally conceding that yes Trump lost the election and Biden is in fact the legitimate President
Of the United States of America.

You go girl!

Kevyn knows how to needle the Stormtrumpers and MAGAnauts...just post the facts...

...and they’ve overplayed both.
