Mike Pence: Biden Broke Our Deal With the Taliban

You must also blame the idiots like me who voted these Uniparty traitors,
***Ok, I blame you. So where do we go from here? Our republic is basically lost.

[Kevmo]

leaving behind a government that unites people from all sides.
***Bit of a pipe dream. That’s why I have been pushing my emBASEee strategee for several years. From my home page

I have been advocating for several years a policy I call ‘embaseees’. Embassy + AirBase —> EmBASEeees. We go into a terrorist country, clear out their taliban equivalent, then withdraw to very large Embassies, perhaps 3 of them. Have them big enough to encompass a military airbase where we can use it for decades on end to conduct anti-terrorism operations. As long as the ‘host’ country aint killing Americans then we let them have self-sovereignty. Kind of like how we operated in the Phillipines for decades. We could even have an intermediate zone that we patrol but it would be autonomous. Let them have their taste of freedom. A referendum every 10 years to see how large the boundaries of the intermediate autonomous zone should be.

Now if you want me to give you a list of some of the stuff that President Trump supporters and even President Trump
***Well, Trump coulda held a rally on the day congress was gonna authorize the stolen election and... wait. Uhh, Trump coulda LED that peaceful assembly into the halls of congress and loudly proclaimed, as president, that this was a fraudulent election and demand that the fraud be looked into. And blanket pardons for anyone who was in that assembly getting arrested on that day as long as they weren’t carrying guns.

[Kevmo]

Well said.

[Kevmo]

Well, you push your GOPeRINO candidate, we’ll push our Trumplican one. I’ve had enough of Assistant Democrats.

[Kevmo]

Well summed up. And I think I know why Biden went that route, TDS notwithstanding.

Trump had dossiers on about 80,000 Afghanis who had worked with the US to route terrorism and were deserving of evacuation. But TeamBiden doesn’t want 80k Trump-Grateful Afghan patriots to be comin’ over to the US, would rather have some of them commie-bastards and “peaceful Muslim” types and future democraps and financially dependent on guvmint and weasels, that type of person is who the democraps want. So they created that chaos, those 80k deserving Afghan patriots having LESS of a chance now [with the list bein’ leaked to the taleban as we speak] and we get the scum here.

[Kevmo]

The only way to leave behind such a healthy guvmint is for us to be there for several decades like we did in the Philippines.

[Kevmo]

We DO know how Trump woulda handled it because his plan was in place. Biden discarded that plan. Biden doesn’t want a hundred thousand patriotic Afghans grateful to Trump coming to America, he wants rabid, scared, broke, dependent, future democrap, manipulable, “peaceful jihadis” to come here.

[Kevmo]

What the hell does “quayling” himself mean?

[Kevmo]

As President of the Senate he has the OPPORTUNITY to draw attention to the voter fraud that is about to take place in that august body. That’s probably why the whole constitutional thing was done that way in the first place.

Our country has had orderly transition of power, even in the face of obvious voter fraud. Pence had his chance to highlight the blatant fraud and he did not do it. That is on him.

[Kevmo]

[Kevmo]

He coulda opened 50 certification envelopes and commented on the level of fraud of all 50 states if he wanted to. He didn’t want to. He’s a go-along-to-get-along GOPe Assistant Democrat who placed his personal ambitions above the needs of the country when it came time to highlight fraud. He deserves our scorn.

[Kevmo]

Our country has seen dozens of orderly transitions of power. That is how that section of the constitution became “ceremonial” as you like to put it. But that’s bullshiite because our founding fathers weren’t entirely sure there would be such orderliness in transitions of power. That’s why they put little provisions like that in there.

Feel free to point out to us where the constitution says this is a ceremonial duty.

[Kevmo]

It was a yes-or-no question and you gave a weasel answer.

Your viewpoint of the constitution is nonsense, but at least you’re trying to use the constitution to defend your viewpoint.

Ask yourself why our founding fathers would bother to put in a “ceremonial” duty? They had far bigger fish to fry and you know it.

Pence did what the MINIMUM of what the constitution required him to do, ignoring the PURPOSE of what that duty is about. When all eyes are on you and you mumble, then you’re a mumbler.

[Kevmo]

Pence did the MINIMUM of what the constitution requires him to do, but passed on the REASON that our founding fathers put up such a requirement in the first place. They knew that all eyes would be on the VP at that moment and it is the VP’s chance to point out the turd in the punchbowl — Pence declined. He blew it.

There was a cloud over that election and Pence gave in to the pretense that it was minor. He deserves our scorn.

[Kevmo]

He is relevant enough to the traitorous MSM that they’ll prop him up for a long time, especially since they consider him a safe, easy opponent should he decide to run for Prez.

Who was properly responsible for the clarion call to investigate the 2020 election fraud? President Donald J. Trump:

• The authority, and the responsibility for rejecting elector slates, and demanding state legislatures send new elector slates consistent with investigations into electoral fraud, resided solely with President Trump.

• There is no Constitutional mechanism to permit the Vice-President to make such a claim. That power -- if it indeed exists -- lies solely with the Office of the President. Any such attempt by the VP would be duly and properly ignored.

• As President Lincoln once promised, leaning into Congressman James Alley, "I am the President of the United States, clothed with immense power, and I expect you to procure those votes." What Lincoln didn't say, was: "Vice-President Johnson is clothed with immense power, and I expect him to procure those votes."

• In April 2020, President Trump threatened to dismiss Congress over blocking him from recess appointments. President Trump believed he had that power -- the exact same power he would have used to remand the presented elector's slates back to each state's legislature -- and Trump believed that power was invested in him alone. President Trump didn't call VP Pence and say, "Hey Mike, you tell them you're shutting down Congress because I can't get my recess appointments."

[StAnDeliver]

Where were the alternate slates of Electors with the imprimatur of both that state's legislature and signed off by that state's Governor?

• Even if Pence had had that, the House and the Senate must both vote in the majority to throw out the original Electors of any challenged state's slate.

• The fact that 1 Congressman and 1 Senator, can object to every electoral slate (50 states + DC) is Constitutionally not enough to actually disqualify that state's slate. The Vice President must have both the House & Senate majority votes. There is nothing in 3 USC that allows the incumbent VP to act extra-constitutionally.

• FRacebook rage, while risible, fails (as usual) to comprehend the complete absence of any enabling Constitutional language that would have permitted Pence to act in a completely unconstitutional manner, of Yet Another FRacebook Wish Sandwich.

• What you FRacebookers really wanted Pence to do was perform errant libtard constructionalism a la RBG/WisePuta/Elanaesbian, in treating the Constitution like a "Living Document" DOORMAT.

• As if this needs to be added, and yet it does, so far have we fallen: "Free Republic advocates a return to constitutionally limited government, reserving all government powers not expressly delegated by the constitution to the United States to the States respectively, or the people, emphasizing sovereign state governments, local government, self-government and self-rule, while restricting government powers to only those enumerated in the Constitution."

• Had the FRacebook cadre and their demented, blatantly unconsitutional concoction been followed in 2016, the Democrats' objections to every single state electoral slate would have successfully pre-empted President Trump's legitimate victory.

• On Jan. 6, 2017, the Democrats planned -- to the minute -- a challenge of every single slate of electors, and they executed their plan to the letter, with longtime Leftard Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) who objected right out of the gate to Alabama's slate of electors, citing "direct Russian election interference via hacking the election software of VR Systems" (that scenario sound familiar?).

• McGovern's challenge was immediately followed by challenges from fellow travelers Raskin, then Jayapal, then Sheboon Lee, then Grijalva.

• This would have been the result, the very result our Founding Fathers fought and died to prevent when they crafted the Constitution:

---

"Mr. McGovern has objected to the Alabama slate due to the "confirmed and illegal activities engaged by the government of Russia". Mr. Raskin has objected to Florida’s slate, due to that state's prohibition against dual office holders. Ms. Jayapal has objected to the Georgia slate's electoral certification. Ms. Lee has objected to the Michigan slate again due to Russian interference. Mr. Grijalva has objected to the North Carolina slate due to violations of the Voting Rights Act. I find all of these objections in due order and I hereby as Vice-President suspend each of these state's slates until further investigation by the DOJ and the FBI, and I further order each state involved to prepare and send an alternate slate of electors. Trump's Inauguration can wait forever, as far as I'm concerned. We are adjourned." - Vice-President Joseph Biden, January 6, 2017

---

• After then-VP Biden -- in identical fashion to what FRacebookers wanted from VP Pence -- had ruled every challenged 2016 electoral slate "out of order", Hillary would have been installed shortly after SCOTUS surrendered under the weight of 51 challenge cases, only requiring SCOTUS to respond positively to Vice-President Biden's challenges to the 3 critical, close swing-state cases [PA, MI, WI] that would have immediately floated to the top of the unconstitutionally slate-challenged Electoral College bowl.

It was about a month ago I think. I stay on FR, OAN, and RAV. It was on one or two of them.
