"Do you miss President Trump and I?"
That is correct. It’s not a direct object.
I am really worried about the grammar being taught in schools today. A symptom of our overall decline.
Simple rule - “I” when the subject, “me” when the object.
Or his staff testifying against Trump in the sham impeachment hearings?
Isn’t amazing how such a blatant and fireable disloyalty goes down the memory hole? Pence totally left Trump out to dry during the impeachment hoax. But I guess some Pence loving eyes will never see.
I hate to say this…but If Trump comes back with Pence on his ticket…we are being “played a fool”
Agree. That’s what I’m afraid of, too. Trump bringing a sabotaging Quisling like Pence back on board would prove he has little interest in actually governing.
I don’t agree that he was loyal besides that day. He also never commented on the voter fraud period or told the state legislatures to act.
It’s never been explained why SECRETARY OF STATE Pompeo was on the leaked Trump phone call with Georgia GOP and VICE PRESIDENT Pence was not. You can always count on Pence being AWOL when needed most.
Well said.
No, to use “I” in this context is absolutely WRONG! “I” is a subjective pronoun and is not the object of the “missing.” “You” is the subject of the sentence, “missing” is the verb (actually “do miss”) and the pronoun receiving the “missing” should be “me.”
However, this goes to show that Pence cannot choose good staff. He would then go on to make similar unforced errors as President. But not only that, Pence is a JUDAS TURNCOAT. No, I do NOT miss him. He should be tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail. Hang the bustard!
“The King and I” is correct grammar because both “The King” and “I” are used as subjects of the sentence.
Yes 'allowable' by those too lazy but teach, those who think breaking grammar is cutting edge and other such idiocies! Yes, language has historically changed and the history of English is fascinating in its progression from its progenitor roots of post-Roman Friesian.
That being said, once you get into the era of written and RECORDED English, that argument loses a lot of validity. Now using such deliberate bad grammar becomes a choice like 'Black English' where it is a denigration to the subculture. Elsewhere it is just careless and lazy!
In today's world, books like this (above) and style books like Strunk are almost attacked like the enemy. After all, if 2+2=4 is racist, so must any restrictions on language!
FMP
His supposed “innocence” evaporated when he bumped congratulatory elbows and fists with various democRATS who were in on the theft of the corrupt election.
And it is wrong.
LOL!
Trump is the ONLY reason I gave Pence a 2nd chance.
Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me.
No more Pence. No more rinos. I want solid political plans and strategies to restore the Republic as our cities are on literal fire.
“This is what I hate about FR. Mike Pence was a good and loyal soldier for Trump. He was asked to do something that he felt he could not do. His four years of absolute loyalty should be recognized. I was at government meetings with him and he was always giving all the credit to Trump. Truly not fair. Would I support him? No. But it’s not because of what happened in January.”
Aside from one small thing Benedict Arnold was a great American general.
Pence could’ve said he wasn’t going to do it weeks before Jan 6. Instead he led us all along to think that he was until the day of and backstabbing any attempt at de-escalating the situation.
I’m registered independent, have been since I left the LP couple of decades ago (I, unlike they, do NOT support or defend open borders nor LGBTQP agenda), DID register GOP last year to vote in primaries.
I can NOT get these wastes of oxygen to take me off their mailing lists.
I donated to Boebert. BAM, a dozen emails a day jamming my junk mail box. Unsubscribed dozens of times, they still keep coming.
I’ve even taken to - any time they send out a “postage included return envelope” - stuffing that envelope with about 1/4-3/8” of other junk mail and returning it with the note “take me off your mailing list.”
Doesn’t work, only makes them more aggressive.
At least planned parenthood finally responded to my return envelope notes “please remove me from your mailing lists you soulless ghouls. Rot in hell.”
But the GOP? Especially the progressives in RINO drag like McCarthy.
Just won’t leave me alone.
Good news is, I shred all their junk mail for my compost pile.
Hilly uts more because of the comments he made AFTER. Not once did he stand up for Trump supporters. Not once did he say “I condemn the violence but the majority were peaceful”. Those words struck to the heart and won’t be forgiven.
He should quietly retire and hope someday he will be forgiven.
Proving that Pence is a FReeper.
You really think so? Well in that case I hope he sees the following message from me........Hey Pence! You’re a pathetic POS!!!!!
did that FPOS actually use his name wi Trumps?
wash that boi’s mouth out wi soap...
When Pence was on the White House COVID Response team, I would always click away to something more important. He had this habit of taking 10 minutes to say what you or I could say in 2 minutes. Worthless.
