Gutless Pence could have done plenty, but he wanted Trump out too.

I t think many here could see the aftermath of a Biden presidency once the jerk was sworn in.

This is just the beginning Folks.

“Methinks Pence is angling for the VP slot if Trump runs in 2024,”

That’s hilarious. Of course, knowing Trump’s curse of picking wrong people, I suppose it COULD happen.

Anyhow, it’s a moot point. Six months from now we won’t have a country, ergo, no elections starting in 2022.

Our deal? Never heard Pence speak in the four years he was VP.

Well you POS, Pence. Perhaps you could have done your frickin’ job and we would have Joe Biden to destroy everything he touches. Stolen elections have consequences.

Shut up Mike Pence, you are a disgrace and helped bring this about.

Absolutely. Every RINO traitor who contributed to the Steal will have blood on their hands once the Taliban starts executing Americans.

Stolen elections have consequences. Make the RINOs face these consequences in the 2022 primaries, especially those in the state legislatures who put their petty hatred of Trump above their country.

Re: 37 - Agreed. President Trump’s deal with the Taliban had flaws, and the Taliban were violating the agreement very early on.

Th US and the small number of allies were essentially stalemated with the Taliban the last 12 months. But the US had a presence inside Afghanistan from which to conduct counterterrorism operations including an 11,000+ runway at OAI, ways to gather and analyze intelligence via US agencies in Kabul and other areas, etc.

Now that is ALL gone. There will be very limited means to collect intelligence in Afghanistan. There is no more Northern Alliance to hinder the Taliban and with which the US could work with against the Taliban.

The US won’t be blind in Afghanistan gathering intelligence, but those capabilities will be extremely degraded.

Try making some sense next time you post. Pence did nothing while VP and only now is he speaking out. Maybe he's the RINO’s choice but he's going nowhere.

The Taliban has never kept their word. Ever. And they never will. Yet Trump made a deal with them.

If you want to leave Afghanistan in a safe, orderly way, while leaving a behind a good, stable government, you had to bring in the Taliban into the deal or there would be no deal.
Deals have been made with bad actors throughout history on every continent with humans and nations on it.
I can give you plenty of examples if you want.

They say Biden broke the deal by keeping forces in Afghanistan LONGER than Trump would have. That should tell you that if Trump's deal came to fruition, this massacre would've just happened sooner than it's happening now.

Um, nope.
Read what Pence said and I quote:
“As long as these conditions were met, the U.S. would conduct a gradual and orderly withdrawal of military forces.”

It's not about whether to withdraw or not. It's about a safe, orderly, gradual withdrawal leaving behind a government that unites people from all sides. That's what President Trump had been working on for 4 years.
It took Dementia Joe just 7 months to engineer an utter disaster.

Now why would Pence want President Trump out?
Mike Pence was the Vice President no? As against not having any official position now. Who would want that? Not Mike Pence. Not anyone that I know.
You are not making any sense.
Now if you want me to give you a list of some of the stuff that President Trump supporters and even President Trump himself coulda done to stop this massive ballot fraud, I can.

For him to shut up and go away. He’s talking about breaking deals? He broke the biggest one of all by pretending his duty was merely ceremonial. He broke the biggest one of all by accepting obvious fraud. He’s trash.

He didn’t put it all on Pence. He said Pence “ helped bring it about”. But nice straw man. Try again.

Remember when GHWB said, “a kinder, gentler America”?

If you believe there was ever a scenario where as soon as the final American troops pulled out of AFG and the Taliban didn’t break their agreement, then I have a bridge to sell you. It would not matter who was sitting in the White House at the time. Once we left, the Taliban would take brutal control back. It was always going to end this way. So now Republicans can use it for political gain because there is a buffoon as President. Afghanistan is now a political issue, and Republicans have a chance to use it to win the midterms. Let’s see how they do.

My question was about what happened during the 2020 elections not now.
As to whether Pence comments on Afghanistan or not, of course he can comment on Afghanistan now. He helped work on reaching a deal. It would be strange for Pence not to comment on Dementia Joe’s total disaster.
Fortunately you don’t decide if Mike Spence comments or not.
Mike Spence WILL continue to comment on Afghanistan and there is NOTHING you can do about it. Thank God for that.

Mike Pence was no more responsible for the massive ballot fraud and elections stealing carried out by Dementia Joe and the Democrats than President Trump was.
You wanna try again?
