Pence Reached His Limit With Trump. It Wasn’t Pretty.
NY Times ^

Posted on 01/12/2021 6:21:12 PM PST by springwater13

After three years and 11 months of navigating the treacherous waters of President Trump’s ego, after all the tongue-biting, pride-swallowing moments where he employed strategic silence or florid flattery to stay in his boss’s good graces, there he was being cursed by the president.

Mr. Trump was enraged that Mr. Pence was refusing to try to overturn the election. In a series of meetings, the president had pressed relentlessly, alternately cajoling and browbeating him. Finally, just before Mr. Pence headed to the Capitol to oversee the electoral vote count last Wednesday, Mr. Trump called the vice president’s residence to push one last time.

“You can either go down in history as a patriot,” Mr. Trump told him, according to two people briefed on the conversation, “or you can go down in history as a pussy.”

It is pretty obvious how he chose to go down in history.

Why would I believe The New York Times which lied for two-and-a-half years about Trump colluding with Russia to win the election?

If I didn’t hear it, I don’t believe it.

If the NY Slimes told me the sun rises in the east...I’d look west.

I’m choosing to believe that part is true, though it probably isn’t.

I began to read the header with interest and, when I ran out of story, I clicked the access point to the article...which took me....to the website...of the New York Times. Aha!

I see the press is trying to reassert its narrative and truth telling again.

How does The Slimes know all this? Did they conduct a seance and contact the spirit of Miss Cleo?

If we wanted to read dime-store novels, or Penny Dreadfuls, we’d buy them ourselves. Why anybody continues to post anything from the Slimes and the Compost is beyond me. Those two papers are good for only three things, wiping your ass with them, potty training your puppy, and lining bird cages.
