Has anyone looked in his basement? He might have someone locked naked in a cage down there.

I figure Pence is Vice President because the Republican Party and Russia have some really nasty dirt on him; dirt much, much worse than wanking off watching hookers pee on a bed, or laundering money for gangsters.

and smile while doing it.

The Pope will criticize everything he does and yet he will somehow reason it away. Other than his war on women, I guess the pope is still good with that. And I know the Pope isnt in love with gay folks but i think he respects them more than this idiot.

Isnt he also a chickenshit who wont serve in the military or refused to when it was his turn?

oh, he is an idiot, btw



When asked if he accepts evolution, Pence answered "I believe with all my heart that God created the heavens and the earth, the seas and all that’s in them. How he did that I'll ask him about some day

Nothing but RW "Christian" dogwhistles, start to finish. Not a word about what he planned to do as governor, just pious-sounding babble about his "servant's heart."

The worst part is that unlike his boss, he somehow actually seems to believe the crap he spews. It's no wonder he can serve as VP - this same guy who bragged about his humility and "servant's heart" helped himself to campaign money to pay his own personal expenses when he was running for Congress. An incompetent sleazy shit who unironically puts a halo over his own head. The RFRA fiasco, that even turned the reliably Republican Indy Star against him (and most of the businesses in the state), should have ended his political career. Unfortunately he has failed upward...

Piousness itself is annoying enough. Self-righteous, hypocritical piousness really sets my teeth on edge.

He is a smug SOB, just like Paul Ryan. Same irritating smirk.

Pence does not follow Jesus' teachings, so he is not a Christian. Pence is a prime example of the Hypocrites Jesus warned about in his teachings.

He's as dangerous or even more dangerous than DT because he normalizes all the horrors of Bannon's ideology.

that creeps me out. He has the faintest hint of a phony smile and a look like he is barely concealing his contempt. He was caught flat footed about his knowledge of Flynn's activities for Turkey and for once he actually stammered and stuttered, stalling for time to come up with an answer. I laughed out loud because it is clear he is in on the deal when it comes to Trump, Flynn, Russian connections, etc. Plausible deniability is gone. LOL. Zing went the strings of my heart seeing him turn red and try to stumble his way into another lie.

He wasn't qualified to be School Board President, let alone Governor or VP.

Part of the reason, I think, Pence looks so strange is his overuse of Botox. It prevents him from making appropriate facial expressions.
