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.

That’s the only answer. true outsiders. And if they stabbed Trump in the back at this moment, no vote, ever, no matter who runs against them.

That has always been their game. “Sure we screwed you, but the other guy is 15% worse”.
Time to leave their cynical game.

It’s clear to me now that a strong economy, nationalism, tariffs and low unemployment are not important to the GOP. Not important AT ALL.

Nice typo catch on St. Matthew the Apostate! I had overlooked it.

And it certainly is appropriate with an analogy to religious disputes. For four years some of us have thought that these guys differed on some points of doctrine. Now, they and many other Republicans, especially in the state legislatures, have shown that they were full apostate, and have abandoned us altogether.

It’s his last day in office and no pardons as of yet. He doesn’t have much more time to do something for America.

I agree. Personally I have been hoping for that landslide n the Azores that sends a 300 ft Tsunami over DC. (Like in that movie “Deep Impact”. It’d be nice to see God flush the toilet.

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.

That right there is the honest truth.

McConnell, I would expect that level of nasty behavior, McCarthy, everyone knows he’s a ‘go along to get along’ follower type, but VP Michael Richard Pence, totally ignoring his old boss at the Goodbye ceremony? Really?
That has to hurt from Trump’s point of view.

Maybe it’s logistics. Pence cannot be in both places at once.

Who says that the New Reich will even honor any pardons that Trump will issue?

They are going to erase him, so they will likely erase any of his acts as well.

“OK, how about I just call her a commie slut infiltrator? How’s that language suit you?”

It ia not about just me. You are an ignorant inarticulate knuckle dragging waste of time.

Apparently these people were all wearing masks way before the plague.

I think if it’s the pedo proof it will have an impact. Anything else, not so much. I mean Swalwell dated a Chinese spy and he’s still on the intelligence committee. We need a REAL bombshell or this country as we knew it is finished.

Yes, I forgot about that Island. That prediction has been around for a few years. Of course, D.C. would not be the only target - most of the East Coast would take the hit.

Pence is to Trump as Bush was to Reagan. When Trump needed Pence most he was always been AWOL. This par for course for Bare Minimum Mike.

His relationship with Pence was all fake, because Pence is fake. When the Billy Bush Pussygate tape hit, he conspired with Priebus and Ryan to depose Trump as candidate and to move to the top of the ticket.
When Trump hit back with all of Clinton’s rape victims on the front row of the next debate, that plot ended.
After he won, he immediately plotted with the FBI and Sally Yates to get Flynn fired and put McMaster in.

Pence is a snake.

That pious act is just that... an act. He is a Judas.

His job is the most important to him, imo!

DO NOT rock the boat, just continue business as usual!

Pre-President Trump and the deplorables.
