As I reflect back on my life it is interesting to remember how many times I came to a crossroads and had to make a difficult life choice. I feel like Lt. Colonel Frank Slade in Scent of a Woman when he contemplated facing the crossroads in his life. He said, “I always knew what the right path was. Without exception. I knew. But I never took it. You know why? It was too damn hard.” I think that all of us can relate to his observation. Sometimes in life we just waffle.
Other groups this year also came to a crossroad and were faced with a difficult choice after the corrupted presidential election. The FBI should have been all over the obvious fraud like flies on a rib-roast. Instead, the FBI channeled Sergeant Schultz (“I see nothing”) on the TV show, Hogan’s Heroes and ignored the preponderance of evidence of wide scale voter fraud. We see no semi-truck transporting pallets of Biden ballots to Pennsylvania. We see no corrupt ballot stuffing in Georgia. We see no planes landing in Arizona delivering Biden ballots and we definitely do not see any witnesses anywhere, who are willing to step forward to document voter fraud. Actually, I am terribly disappointed in the FBI. Once upon a time, that organization was the gold standard for law enforcement and was revered around the world. I am so proud of the men and women who sacrificed their lives to create such an impressive and valuable juggernaut. Unfortunately, things change and the FBI is now suspected of having gone over to the dark side.
The second group that approached crossroads after the fraudulent election was the Supreme Court. They also decided to play the Sergeant Schultz card (“I hear nothing”) and seven of them said, we don’t even want to listen to Ted Cruz enumerate all of the evidence about election fraud. Three Supremes who metaphorically shoved a knife in America’s back and deserve special recognition are Barret, Kavanaugh and Gorsuch. We desperately needed them to stand up for justice. I think that’s even stated in their job description. Their betrayal hurt the most.
A third group that approached the crossroads were the whiny, wimpy, cowardly Republicans in Congress who should have backed Trump. They collectively should have been outraged about the blatant election fraud and screamed, from the rooftops, Churchill’s promise to his country. “Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival.” Instead they yawned, said “whatever” and whispered to each other, “Trump, Biden, Harris, who cares who is president. We always get paid. We get paid during the pandemic, we get perks, we only have to work 165 days a year and we’ll throw the peasants a lousy $600 of their own money from our limo windows to shut them up. The Republicans even staged a flash mob in the U.S. Capital rotunda to welcome their new master Biden. They sang, “Biden, Biden, he’s our man, if he can’t do it, then Kamala can.” Okay, I made that up but the Republicans’ in Congress have sadly morphed into a squishy smack of spineless jelly fish.
Now we come to Mike Pence. In the movie The Rundown, The Rock (Dwayne Johnson) is a “retrieval expert” who specializes in finding people who live off the grid and really do not want to be found. The Rock is very skilled and when he locates his quarry, he generously offers him to choose either Option A or Option B. Option A is the easy way and Option B is the hard way.
Mike Pence, on January 6, 2021 will also come to a crossroads when he addresses a joint session of Congress to formally count the electoral votes for president and vice president. Pence will be forced to choose either Option A or Option B. Option A is the easy choice-stick a metaphorical knife in Trump’s back, welcome Biden as the new president and then get on a plane to Bahrain. Bingo, bango, bongo, it’s that easy and probably what everyone expects to transpire. However, Pence should consider the other consequences of choosing Option A. Not only will he betray Trump (“et tu Pence?”) but he will also stick a knife in the back of 74 million Trump supporters scattered across this great country. This group is extremely angry that the election was stolen.

Pence had best NOT screw the pooch on this one.
I’ve always thought of Pence as another Bush, Reagan’s biggest mistake. As Reagan didn’t need Bush as he was wildly popular and would have won without Bush, so Trump didn’t and doesn’t need Pence.
The last thing we need is another career politician. I hope Trump replaces him with a non-politician who’s heart cries, “Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death!”
I hope Trump gets rid of Pence and finds a true non-politician gutsy fighter who is clear about the fight for freedom we are in, to be VP to replace him when he’s gone. But who?
Lin Wood knows
Pence will go for Option A.
I have read that he’s getting out of politics. So burning his bridges with 90%+ of Republican rank-and-file is no big deal to him.
His Deep State buddies will make sure he continues to be well-fed.
I think there’s a fairly good chance Pence won’t show (”has the flu,” etc.). The job would then fall to Chuck Grassley who’s already acknowledged Biden won.
You remember when they rolled out GHW Bush onto the field of the super bowl to do the coin toss? Then they took him back up to watch the game? Guess who was in the box with him and his family.
Hard to say. Although I think he may if the, er, consequences of failure were outlined to him clearly enough.
See post number 8
I never knew much about Mr. Pence and was concerned with some of the comments about him here and elsewhere when DJT selected him for Veep. Since Pence has been in office, though, I have been quite favorably impressed by him.
I will wait and see what he does on 06 January. My guess is that he will do the right thing and reject the fradulent electors from AZ, NV, MI, WI, GA, MN, and PA.
We will see.
Ain’t that the truth. Also heard here his best buddy is Paul Ryan...prolly got a job lined up with the “new and improved “Fox News.
Pence has only one option. He reads the votes. That’s it. It’s up to Congress to object to any slate he reads in.
Think about it. Al Gore had to read the slate of Bush electors in. He didn’t have the power to object either.
Though it will get me flagged as a defeatist I do not see a long term political ein for Our VP if he does the tight thing for the Country.
Stripping out all the postings and media propaganda and look into his future choices for himself ONlY.
No to becoming President ever.
If he chooses for us the deep state will blackball him so not an income choice
If he chooses against us then he gets a payday, he keeps in good with the swamp and gets a place out of the US to enjoy his money and family... Vacations for the next 20 years or until the swamp wants him gone.
So given that he is screwed either way but money buys happiness they say I feel he will choose poorly.
Now with all that said, if there is any way that by his actions he can shift this into another scenario of legal remedy then that will be his first efforts thus he wins from both sides.
Respects.
“Instead they yawned, said “whatever” and whispered to each other, “Trump, Biden, Harris, who cares who is president. We always get paid.”
The author putting his finger on the essence of the problem...For the Republicans, remaining the “loyal opposition” is just as if not more profitable to each of them personally than would be upholding their oath...
It is also worth noting, the speed at which many people start finger pointing at the mere appearance of a sinking ship.
I can’t remember one complaint about Pence until now. It seems the uncertainty, alone, is enough to label him a traitor. Beyond that, I don’t know Pence and for that fact, I know even less about Linn Wood. Both could be traitors or heros.
Either way, it’s hard to take back what you said about people in your own lives. Really easy to walk away from what was said if the targets of your words never actually heard you say it. Both of these guys will ultimately be remembered by the outcome of this election. Until then, cut them a bit of slack. We are experiencing an election like none other in our lifetimes and those 2 men have a lot of skin in the game.
Hypothetical question, assuming for a moment that Pence is actually a patriot and not a Uniparty traitor:
Is there anything that could stop him from.saying something along the lines of, “I light of the mounting evidence of election fraud and the coalition of Senators who have announced their protest and have called for an emergency 10 day audit, I am NOT going to open and count ANY electoral votes until such audit has been conducted.”?
"The Price of Freedom Has Always Been High, But AMERICANS Have Always Paid It."
Pence is at The Crossroads.
There you go confusing people with facts again
