Pence: Trump and I ‘talked through’ differences after Capitol riot

Former Vice President Mike Pence said Monday that he has a “strong relationship” with former President Donald Trump and added that the two had sat down and “talked through” their differences in the days after the deadly Jan. 6 riot at the US Capitol.

“Look, you can’t spend almost five years in a political foxhole with somebody without developing a strong relationship,” Pence told Fox News’ Sean Hannity. “And, you know, January 6 was a tragic day in the history of our Capitol building. But thanks to the efforts of Capitol Hill police, federal officials, the Capitol was secured. We finished our work, and the president and I sat down a few days later and talked through all of it.”

Pence added that he and Trump had “parted amicably at the end of the administration and we’ve talked a number of times since we both left office.”

Why do you think there was no left wing violence?

You libs are so transparent and predictable.

[CodeToad]

Why don’t you explain why a liberal democrap cop shot an unarmed woman in the face on J6. Tell us about that.

[mac_truck]

Is this the left wing violence you want Pence to denounce?

[Jemian]

I did not watch either. I am so angry and disappointed in him.

"Pence said he and the Trump administration would never do that...

TRUMP NEVER WOULD!!!
BUT PENCE ABANDONED 80 MILLION PEOPLE JAN 6"

It bears repeating.

[Responsibility2nd]

Ah yes. The Fire Extinguisher.

Radical Right Wing Insurgents came to the Capitol on 1/6 to overthrow the government. With a Fire Extinguisher.

Thank you for pointing that out.

BREAKING: Trump and Pence are talking again [04/30/2021]

I mean, same old news, same old thread, same old shit.

Who was properly responsible for the clarion call to investigate the 2020 election fraud? President Donald J. Trump:

• The authority, and the responsibility for rejecting elector slates, and demanding state legislatures send new elector slates consistent with investigations into electoral fraud, resided solely with President Trump.

• There is no Constitutional mechanism to permit the Vice-President to make such a claim. That power -- if it indeed exists -- lies solely with the Office of the President. Any such attempt by the VP would be duly and properly ignored.

• Exactly as President Lincoln once threatened Congressman James Alley, "I am the President of the United States, clothed with immense power, and I expect you to procure those votes." What Lincoln didn't say, was: "Vice-President Johnson is clothed with immense power, and I expect him to procure those votes."

• In April 2020, President Trump threatened to dismiss Congress over blocking him from recess appointments. President Trump believed he had that power -- the exact same power he would have used to remand the presented elector's slates back to each state's legislature -- and Trump believed that power was invested in him alone. President Trump didn't call VP Pence and say, "Hey Mike, you tell them you're shutting down Congress because I can't get my recess appointments."

  "He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of Adjournment, he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper; he shall receive Ambassadors and other public Ministers; he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed, and shall Commission all the Officers of the United States." - The Constitution of the United States, Article II, Section 3

Pence is a Derp State traitor. Traitors must swing.

Where were the alternate slates of Electors with the imprimatur of both that state's legislature and signed off by that state's Governor?

• Even if Pence had had that, the House and the Senate must both vote in the majority to throw out the original Electors of any challenged state's slate.

• The fact that 1 Congressman and 1 Senator, can object to every electoral slate (50 states + DC) is Constitutionally not enough to actually disqualify that state's slate. The Vice President must have both the House & Senate majority votes. There is nothing in 12A nor 3USC nor the Electoral Count Act (which the Eastman 'memo' farcically sought to overthrow), that allows the incumbent VP to act extra-constitutionally.

• FRacebook rage, while risible, fails (as usual) to comprehend the complete absence of any enabling Constitutional language that would have permitted Pence to act in a completely unconstitutional manner, of Yet Another FRacebook Wish Sandwich.

• What you FRacebookers really wanted Pence to do was perform errant libtard constructionalism a la RBG/WisePuta/Elanaesbian, in treating the Constitution like a "Living Document" DOORMAT.

• As if this needs to be added, and yet it does, so far have we fallen:

  "Free Republic advocates a return to constitutionally limited government, reserving all government powers not expressly delegated by the constitution to the United States to the States respectively, or the people, emphasizing sovereign state governments, local government, self-government and self-rule, while restricting government powers to only those enumerated in the Constitution."

• Had the FRacebook cadre and their demented, blatantly unconsitutional concoction been followed in 2016, the Democrats' objections to every single state electoral slate would have successfully pre-empted President Trump's legitimate victory.

• On Jan. 6, 2017, the Democrats planned -- to the minute -- a challenge of every single slate of electors, and they executed their plan to the letter, with longtime Leftard Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) who objected right out of the gate to Alabama's slate of electors, citing "direct Russian election interference via hacking the election software of VR Systems" (that scenario sound familiar?).

• McGovern's challenge was immediately followed by challenges from fellow travelers Raskin, then Jayapal, then Sheboon Lee, then Grijalva.

• This would have been the result, the very result our Founding Fathers fought and died to prevent when they crafted the Constitution:

"Mr. McGovern has objected to the Alabama slate due to the "confirmed and illegal activities engaged by the government of Russia". Mr. Raskin has objected to Florida’s slate, due to that state's prohibition against dual office holders. Ms. Jayapal has objected to the Georgia slate's electoral certification. Ms. Lee has objected to the Michigan slate again due to Russian interference. Mr. Grijalva has objected to the North Carolina slate due to violations of the Voting Rights Act. I find all of these objections in due order and I hereby as Vice-President suspend each of these state's elector slates until further investigation by the DOJ and the FBI, and I further order each state involved, to prepare, certify, and send an alternate slate of electors. Trump's Inauguration can wait forever, as far as I'm concerned. We are adjourned." - Vice-President Joseph Biden, January 6, 2017

• After then-VP Biden -- in identical fashion to what FRacebookers wanted from VP Pence -- had ruled every challenged 2016 electoral slate "out of order", Hillary would have been installed shortly after SCOTUS surrendered under the weight of 51 challenge cases, only requiring SCOTUS to respond positively to Vice-President Biden's challenges to the 3 critical, close swing-state cases [PA, MI, WI] that would have immediately floated to the top of the unconstitutionally slate-challenged Electoral College bowl.

One’s a man and an asset to the country. The other is a Derp State asset.

I’m a never-Pencer. He hides behind a cloak of religion to do satan’s work.

[itsahoot]

It would not surprise me at all if Pence is Trump’s running mate in 2024.

It would not surprise me at all if Pence is Trump’s running mate in 2024.

Too many words, fixed it for you.

[itsahoot]

With politicians nothing is ever their fault.

So thaaaaat is the reason everything is Trump's fault.

[Recovering_Democrat]

😑

[Starboard]

Politicians are experts on everything and claim to have led every program that was ever modestly successful.

But when things go bad they knew nothing about it and claim they had no involvement in it.

[Lisbon1940]

They were saying “Dang, Mike Pence,” not “Hang Mike Pence.”

[StAnDeliver]

This is all a bunch of nitwit MSM kabuki to gaslight people who really seem to enjoy being gaslit by nitwit MSM kabuki.

Prime example, April 27, Pence had given a speech at the Palmetto SC Family Council Dinner, where he offered Trump high praise.

8 days later, the President responded:

• "Mike and I have a good relationship, we continue to have a good one, but it's too early to be discussing running mates certainly," President Trump replied in an exclusive televised pre-speech interview. - FoxNews [05/05/21]

• "Pence says he's spoken with Trump 'probably a dozen times' since leaving office..."We moved past it. We finished the work," putting emphasis on his focus that's "entirely on the future"...when asked if he'd consider returning as Trump's running mate in a potential 2024 bid, Pence responded, 'Wherever my wife and I feel called, we'll go.'" - FoxNews [10/1/21]

Kayfabe Kabuki.

Cue the "Why I say, I say, I'll never vote Republican again." crowd for some similarly hilarious WWE commentary...
