Mike Pence will skip the country as soon as he formally confirms Joe Biden's victory on January 6 with week-long foreign tour to avoid face-to-face confrontation with Donald Trump and angry supporters

Mike Pence will skip the country as soon as he formally confirms Joe Biden's victory on January 6 with week-long foreign tour to avoid face-to-face confrontation with Donald Trump and angry supporters.

Vice President Mike Pence is expected to leave the country on a week-long world tour, directly after he formally confirms President-elect Joe Biden's victory on the House floor on January 6.

Politico reported Thursday that Pence is eyeing a trip abroad that week that would take him to Bahrain, Israel and Poland, though the trip hasn't been officially confirmed.

'I suspect the timing is anything but coincidental,' a Pence ally told the newsite.

Pence, who as vice president is also president of the Senate, will be put in the awkward position of presiding over a January 6 session of the House of Representatives where the Electoral College vote tallies are confirmed.

Republicans could delay the final sign-off if one member of the House and one member of the Senate challenges any of the state's results.

Then members of the House and Senate will go back to their respective chambers and debate the challenge, but only a majority vote is needed to overrule any objection.

So while GOP lawmakers could delay the inevitable, Pence will eventually have to announce Biden's win.

That could lead President Donald Trump to unleashing on Pence, as he has Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who has been a top ally to the president during his nearly four years in office, but congratulated Biden for winning the White House Tuesday on the Senate floor.

“Does Pence actually believe he can escape the fury of Trump on the other side of the planet??”

There’s a number of Republicans down the street from the WH in Congress who believe that they can escape the wrath of PDJT.

More made up bullshit.


I doubt it. Pence took a Florida beach vacay after election day. Bare Minimum Mike going AWOL again would be no surprise at all.

Just release the tape. I want to hear Roberts conspiring with Breyer.

I strongly doubt there's any evidence of these words being said, much less a tape.

I think Lin Wood made it all up.

Guys, as a side note, please stock up on basic necessities for a month.

Food, toiletries, medical and other supplies. Already started a month ago, and I'm not much of a 'prepper'.

Do the House and Senate vote as separate bodies? I would think they do as they are separate and distinct under the Constitution.

They vote as separate bodies. And unless a majority of both the House and Senate agree, then the slate of electors certified by the state's Governor counts.

You really believe that (a) someone tapped the phones at SCOTUS, and (b) sat on the tape for years?

I am beginning to agree with you on Wood and Powell. What is their game? I have seen no evidence from them, I take it on face value they have seen proof, but not the incontrovertible proof a court needs.

As an example, Roberts flew on Epstien’s jet, so did Trump. Unless he flew to the Pedo Island, he gets the same pass as Trump. People who need privacy fly on private jets owned by wealthy people. They often pay for the privilege and that helps maintain the aircraft and pay for fuel.

Woods has reported on a phone call where Roberts said he would not allow Trump to be reelected. Do I believe that conversation could happen, yes I do. Roberts has made his disdain for Trump very clear. But do I believe a clerk reported this, no so much. The risk to a SCOTUS law clerk talking out of school is very grave. That clerk will go from having a bright legal future to chasing ambulances in Podunk Alaska overnight. Does not mean it did not happen just means take it with a grain of salt.

If I hear “kraken” used one more time I am going to put somebody in a krankenwagen (look it up). So far all I have seen are some pygmy squid, no kraken! Either Powell has nothing or she has less then nothing.

Were the Dominion machines rigged, yes, I believe they were. Were people counting fraudulent mail in ballots and did ballot harvesting occur, yes it did. The acting AG needs to appoint a DOJ Special Prosecutor for each State in question. Let's see how people want to cheat for the RATS next time if their predecessors are in jail or fined into perpetual bankruptcy. One for each State or fund an Assistant Special Prosecutor and team for each State in dispute. By the way, I sure hope the GOP in GA has its head out of its ass and starts ballot harvesting for the Jan 5th election. The RATS are and they obviously face no consequences for doing it.

I absolutely believe there is all kinds of evidence that is available that people just sit to use at a later date.

That is how COngress is kept in line

As for this story, not sure who would have done the taping. Neither Breyer or Roberts would release it.

they dont schedule these trips overnight. They take months of prep. When was it planned? When was it put on his schedule?

It bothers me that some Freepers get their panties in a bunch when the LEFT deliberately tries to divide and conquer.

And Rokita only ran for that position because he lost to Mike Braun and was currently out of power.

The trip hasn’t been confirmed. So this is bullcrap. Both Pence and President Trump will be on separate aircraft.

“If the Daily Mail has a correct summary of the trip plans of our Vice President (Israel, Bahrain, Poland), then this sounds like VERY GOOD news. He may make some extra stops and announce some more Abraham Accord members.”

That was what struck me also. Maybe it will be the big Kahuna - Saudi Arabia - but every one helps. Bahrain is geographically like being in Saudi Arabia. It is just minutes over the bridge from the Capital of Bahrain, into the main urban area of the Eastern Province in the KSA.

Yes— on a separate aircraft, for reasons of National Security.
