Vice President Mike Pence and the top two Republicans in Congress, soon-to-be Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, plan to skip President Donald Trump's departure ceremony on Wednesday morning.
Trump, bucking tradition, will depart from Joint Base Andrews in Maryland for his home in Florida at 8 a.m. ET without meeting with President-elect Joe Biden or attending his inauguration ceremony later in the day.
In most previous years, the outgoing president has met with the incoming president and first lady at the White House. After attending their successors' inauguration ceremonies, former presidents often depart from the Capitol in a military helicopter to head to Joint Base Andrews to fly off to begin their post-presidential life.
Axios reported on Tuesday that McConnell and McCarthy will attend a morning mass service scheduled to start at 8:45 a.m. with Biden at the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostate in Washington, DC, down the street from the White House.

LOL! That must be the PC version. I have more than a few friends who are Vietnam vets, and a couple of crusty old marines who fought in Korea. I think they would back me on my choice of words for someone like McConnell’s convenient window dressing. I guess the “pirate’s” version of a “conservative” is that pretentious holy-roller, Mike Pence (*puke!*)
That’s a good comparision: Pence to GWHB.
Except that Poppy Bush was able to get himself elected as president. I remember the press even calling him a ‘Wimp’ at one point.
Pence, I don’t see him going any higher than what he has right now unless Voter Fraud makes it happen. Neither party really trusts him. Pence will be trotted out every so often to read certain PC acceptable talking points meant to hush the GOP. This is how they use GWB right now, like a wind up toy. He bleats the Uni-Party Line, then goes back on the linen closet shelf gathering dust.
NO comparison.
Trump was the best president so far.
The best.
They’re all going to church with that fine, upstanding (barf) Biden family

How can the Bidens even go to church knowing what two-faced, greedy, treasonous liars they are?
Our archaic crooked election system is a disgrace.
comment lines are directed to the White House and the comment line is now closed. All comments must be done through the WH comment line, so I guess today is the last day for any comments...sigh.
Oh HOW I want to comment concerning the disloyalty to our beloved President!!
“St. Matthew the apostate”
How appropriate.

Unfortunately, it does not work that way. There was a book, written by Michael Crichton in 2004 - ‘State of Fear.’ The plot involved collapsing that the flank of that island mountain. Very good read - could not put it down, and so I finished it in one night!
One is gone, one is serving his last term, one should be thrown out of House leadership.
Do you facebook or twitter?
Do these dumb pieces of sh*t realize that 75 million Trump voters are nearly the entire GOP party???
Who do they think is ever going to vote for them again?
No. I am quite happy here and I appreciate your posts. I agree with and support a lot of the President’s policies and disagree with impeachment of the president (in both instances). We are just going to have to agree to disagree on the what has happened after November 3, 2020.
Pence SHOULD be there. But the open invitations to the departure? You have to be there by 6 AM, on a cold, open air field. Ugh.
I loved Reagan. Him and Trump were the greatest but in their own ways. Like choosing between Michael Jordan and Larry Bird for the greatest. To me both were the greatest. Different greatest (last was a Yogism)
One other way, MAYBE.
Look on my profile page and click Senator phone list state and office suite.
Talk about a disrespectful move. Then again, all of these folks are also at the end of their political careers. Good riddance to them shortly.

The same ‘plantation living’ that’s voted the “lesser of 2 evils” for @ least the last 40yrs, while getting stabbed in the back repeatedly?
Quite a few here, year after year, whining, “But, you’re throwing your vote away” or calling the (L\CP+) ‘kooks’
GOOD!!! The cowardly RINO’s are out for all to see! I don’t want to see any of them stinking up the place and taking away from the send-off of the BEST PRESIDENT THIS COUNTRY HAS EVER HAD!! SCREW THEM!!!!!
