I don't think Trump will ever see the inside of a prison . Earlier today Biden said something that really bothered me . Biden was at that time speaking about nobody will lose there money because of the collapse of a bank company. Anyway, Biden said that nobody is above the law and I thought to myself that can't be true because if it were true then how come Trump hasn't been arrested yet and the Capital riot isn't hardly even spoken about anymore ! Now let's hear what Pence is saying about that day at the Capital riot.

Nothing to see here, just more desperation to try to stop President Trump in clown world. 🤡

The reason why the US political system is so acrimonious is that it's structured to favor two parties. It creates an us vs them, sports match mentality. We should switch to a randomocracy - qualified candidates for a given office are selected by lottery. It would still be a representative form of govt to an even greater degree than seen in rep democracy, would eliminate the need for campaign funds and the soft bribery that allows, would create default term limits, reduce the power of political parties and best of all, would eliminate all the horrible campaign ads we see every election season.

If Pence wanted anybody to respect him, he needed to speak out against Trump and his cohorts after the jan 6th riot in 2021 and NOT over 2 years later. What a spineless excuse of a man.

Poor Pence is about as authentic as a Taco Bell burrito! 🙄

He would criticize Trump, because he's going down with the rest of the. Panic.

I like how Pence only speaks out when HIS family "was in danger", no concern for anybody else, passes laws with no regard for anyone else safety, etc...but now that he needs some middle of the aisle votes, all of a sudden he's not afraid to condemn Trump. Since when did the GOP become totally spineless? Oh I remember; right around the fall of 2015. At least that's when it became obvious, it was actually way earlier than that.
