Wonder what Pence’s blood pressure is 90 minutes before the debate?

These idiots have screwed the pooch so badly over the last 7 days that even he knows prayer won’t save him. If anything he should be getting the picture that the “big guy” is a bit pissed at his boys. After all, it’s these evangelicals who are always blaming “gods wrath” on America via hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, terrorists, or whatever, because of gays & shit.

He’s having problems with the basic premise that he has to treat a woman as an equal for 90 minutes tonight. I guarantee you he cannot do it. It’s sticking in his craw even now. See he may have started out believing that he was doing higher good to get the courts, the laws, etc. but he’s been knee deep in trumps world now for almost 4 years. He has no honor to fall back on anymore, no real spiritual capital at all; he’s been compromising decency since day one. He’s thoroughly fouled, and I predict he is going to make a grievous error that reveals his inner intolerance, and he’ll even try to double down on it before it dawns on him exactly what it is he’s saying. He’s seen his boss do it hundreds of times.

Tonight you’re going to get to watch Mike Pence die inside on national television.

Is anyone else nervous about tonight? [View all] leftofthestorm Oct 2020 OP
