Imagine how the history of the US would have been after Jan6 if

[RicROC]

VP Pence, after having emerged out of hiding after being hunted by Trumps' mob, would have gone to the White House and had Trump arrested on the spot for insurrection and sedition.

1. Instead he tried every way he could to do Trump's bidding

And Dan Quayle had to stop him.

2. Who knew Mr. Potatoe would be a "hero"

That's from the old days when Republicans weren't 100% fascists.

3. There were reports during that period that Pence had discussions with cabinet members

but they weren't going to do anything about the insane. I think Pence wasn't doing his job under 25A, but hey what do I know?

[mopinko]

5. that's who the real villains are. the ones who refused to invoke 25a.

i honestly dont think even his kids would have been mad at seeing him carted off in a straight jacket.

4. Good thing he didn't...

...If you arrest someone, you have a fixed amount of time for charges to be filed. Otherwise, you have to let the suspect go. People here who throw around "sedition" seem to have no idea what that actually entails in terms of pointing to a statute that's been violated, and presenting a provable case to a Judge or Grand Jury. Add to which, the Vice President has no more ability to "arrest" someone than any ordinary citizen.
