What will Mike Pence do next after Trump's election loss?

[marmar]

(Guardian UK) Across the street from the British embassy, with its red telephone box and Winston Churchill statue, in Washington DC is the residence of the US-vice president. It has its own basketball court, on which Mike Pence reportedly installed a logo from the 1986 film Hoosiers starring Gene Hackman about small town Indiana sports.

Fortunately, the Washington Post noted a couple of years ago, the logo is removable.

Pence, a former governor of Indiana, and his wife, Karen, will be packing their bags and moving out of the residence in January to make way for America’s first female vice-president, Senator Kamala Harris of California, and her husband Doug Emhoff.

Said to have nurtured ambitions for the presidency since he was 16, Pence must now decide what to do with the rest of his life. Among the 61-year-old’s options: a return to his roots in conservative talk radio as a way to remain relevant in his party.

“I think he would want to stay involved in Republican politics and probably in a more conventional way than the president,” said Michael D’Antonio, co-author of The Shadow President: The Truth About Mike Pence. “So he could be a broadcaster, and there’ll be lots of opportunity for that, but he would be nicer than Trump. .............(more)

1. Back to Radio

[SomedayKindaLove]

8. Limbaugh's replacement?

[Happy Hoosier]

14. I kinds doubt it....

His smarmy brand of Republicanism is no longer in fashion. The wants straight-up foaming at the mouth. Mother Boy doesn't do that. He does Self-righteous Prig.

[Dave Starsky]

36. I can't believe that personality-free airhead was ever in radio.

I can't even picture him doing voiceovers for laxative ads.

[PubliusEnigma]

38. You can't see the fly on the Radio, but it's still there.

[Nevilledog]

2. He can always stuck his thumb up his ass and spin.

[NCDem47]

5. I think he would like that.

[634-5789]

3. Probably open a school for the continuance of religious far rightwing assholes.

[Mike 03]

15. Something like this.

[soothsayer]

4. Eff off?

[North Shore Chicago]

6. It was said elsewhere, Pence

would just return to his original form. A big glass of white milk, 2%.

[underpants]

13. I started ready this article and got bored

Which tells you a lot about Mike Pence.

[Siwsan]

7. Is it too much to hope, if trump* dares to run again, in 2024, Pence runs for POTUS, too?

That's when I'd expect LOTS of interesting tidbits could be spilled.

[njhoneybadger]

9. That's It, we must ask Mother Pence.

[Mike 03]

10. I don't pretend to know, but he is lionized by the well-funded institutions of

the Christian Right who absolutely adore him and treat him like a king. I could see him serving some function for the handful of organizations that try to exert influence on conservative politicians and legislation, or even becoming a figurehead for them.

And after reading Woodward's book Rage and The Power Worshippers by Katherine Stewart I'm even more convinced that he might play an important role in that 'community'.

In Rage, recall the scenes between Pence and Dan Coats, when Coats and his wife were like, What the fuck are devout Christians like us doing supporting this guy Trump? and Pence telling him that they had to swallow hard and keep going because of the ultimate goal. Coats and Pence are both deeply Christian and prayed together frequently.

11. ku klux klan rally ?

[Ohiogal]

12. I can't imagine him as a talk radio host

Listening to him would put everyone to sleep.

[davsand]

20. If his bullshit didn't offend me so much, Pence on late night radio could help insomnia.

He could put me to sleep easy enough if he didn't enrage me with his faux pious act.

[Botany]

16. He will move back in with the love of his life Dr. Quest.

BTW never forget that Pence was picked to be V.P. by Manafort who worked for Putin.

[pwb]

17. He never belonged anywhere?

Just go away with Mother.

[Paladin]

18. It's alright if I just don't give a fuck, isn't it? (nt)

[2naSalit]

19. Defending his sorry ass...

in court for ever. He is guilty of being an accomplice in multiple crimes against humanity, accountability is waiting for him too.

[pamdb]

21. pence

I have a feeling Karen Pence is dying to get back to Indiana. I understood that she never
really liked trump and wasn't really into the whole Washington thing. Hopefully Mike
Pence will just fade away, he never stood a chance of becoming president. There's just no there there.

[Wicked Blue]

22. Flyherd

Ridin' the range roundin' up the blowflies

[Spazito]

23. Probably his own show on trump tv...

for the short period it survives assuming it gets started at all.

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

24. Become Lord of the Flies nt

[Eyeball_Kid]

25. Pence needs to either graft a fly swatter to his hand or wash that shit out of his hair.

I'm being nice.

[Stallion]

26. Take William Miller's Old Gig at American Express

[Eyeball_Kid]

27. Pence for Pope! n/t

[MadLinguist]

28. Come out the closet?

[JT45242]

29. Prison or state's evidence ...

The only options for all cabinet level officials in the tRump admin should be those two.

No way was he that far out of the loop.

Also as the nominal head of the US Pandemic task force, he will probably be named in a bunch of class action wrongful death lawsuits. So tide up in court proceedings while every last penny of his family wealth goes away

If there is justice, he can try to lead a bible study in a federal prison for the next twenty or so years.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

30. Some say he's starting a new Pencecostal Church.

Pence owns it and it will cost you to join.......

Seriously, the big right-wing Christ-o-Fascist machine will employ him and like Limbaugh, he'll remain a burr in the saddle of democracy for the rest of his days.

He really should do just like W: learn how to paint and STFU......

[Fiendish Thingy]

31. Mannequin at Macy's? Nt

[Arazi]

32. Where's Dan Quayle? Iow, who the fuck cares?

[Politicalgolfer]

33. Agree with above poster, Botany(?)....remember Russia & how he got picked

As the poster pointed out, Manaford was the one who tricked Trump into staying around to talk more to Pence by telling the orange clown his plane was broken! So, Pence is a Russian pick.....whatever that treasonous shit was needs to be investigated & revealed. All these Russian assets need to be eradicated from any government positions everywhere in the country😠

[grumpyduck]

34. He'll open a fly farm.

Or a fly circus.0

[MineralMan]

35. One hopes he will simply go away.

This one hopes that, anyhow.

[The Genealogist]

37. Back to the forest to rust

til a girl from Kansas comes and helps him out with an oil can? Maybe after, she can take him to the wizard to get him some brains, heart and courage.

[First Speaker]

39. Ram a popsicle stick up his ass...

...and declare himself to be a snow cone. Miracles happen in this world, right, Mike? Just keep yourself in a refrigerator, so you don't attract flies...
