Pence, McConnell, and McCarthy are skipping Trump's departure ceremony
Business Insider ^ | January 19, 2021 | Grace Panetta

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.

Pence started with an act of betrayal by getting Flynn fired, and ended with a stab in the back.

His fake pious christian shtick has worn thin. Same for his whack job pill popping wife.

I would say that President Trump’s greatest singular accomplishment was exposing all that could be exposed. He caused all (and I do mean all) the masks to be ripped way.

Never heard this before - but really not surprised. I think most of the D.C. elite are either sodomites or pederasts / pedophiles. The Pentagon flag officers are mostly into wife swapping. The best thing that could happen to the American people is if a 50 MT hydrogen bomb were detonated 2500 feet over the Washington Monument. Reduce the entire city to radioactive dust.

Damn right he did. He exposed them all. That might be his greatest service.

They wanted Biden, and they got him.

Now, they’re going to screw the American people.

The implosion and collapse of the GOP has brought about

And a Year ago we all thought that it was Rats, which will be the ones.

This is just SO depressing, what took place.

Trump is right. The hell with all of them. Now it's people's place to do their part. What it is, will become more clear in the near future.

Nice list.

His enemies will try to bury his amazing legacy, but truth will prevail in the end.

Just like with Nixon.

I think you and your friend Tea Party Terrorist need to join the RINOS and head to the DU... wrong forum.
We here on FR stand behind and support our President who has done more for America than any President in our country’s history.

Actually, we’re our worst enemy. Look at the garbage and human debris we elect and send to Congress to represent us.

Since most smart folks don't want to be run thru the mud that is the media and opposite party nowadays, there are nothing but mostly narcissists and get rich quick charlatans running for office. Looking at the current and incoming congresscritters, the folks that are a cut-above are few and far between. Do I have an answer to fix this??nope.

Sad to see what became of his relationship with Pence. I never undersood how anyone seriously believed Pence would or could stop Biden's certification.

I knew Trump had no chance once the COVID lockdowns began and Democrats began to push for absentee votes en masse. Trump even whined about it in a debate...but did NOTHING to stop it. Could he have deployed the DHS? Who knows. The Democrats are pure evil, and used this crisis perfectly, as they always do.

The roof of that church will fall in!

God will not be mocked by crooks, pedophiles, and adulterers approaching the Communion table.

Remember only a year ago all the chatter about the Democrat party imploding and dying after the internal power struggle between the old guard donks and the progressive radicals, most especially after the first impeachment?

Not so dead looking now, are they? As for the GOP, who knows? I left the party after 2004 and won't be back.
