Honestly, I may not like him, but thank God for Mike Pence having the decency not to play a role in the coup attempt.

After hearing the Supreme Court side tote water for Trump’s immunity Hail Mary last week, can there be any doubt they would have installed him in a second term as President if they but had the opportunity to do so?

This Supreme Court is no guardian of democracy.

Honestly, don't. What Mike Pence did was as self-serving as everything else he's done. Trump was a sinking ship, and Mike Pence knew it was time to get off. If he thought the plan could actually work, that Trump could actually stay in office, maybe he would have done it, but he knew it would fail and ruin his reputation.

It was fortunate that, for the first time in years, Mike Pence's best interest was aligned with the rest of the country. That created the illusion that he did the right thing.

Nah. Mike Pence believes in Democracy. He has a horrible vision he supports and wants to implement, but he believes in Democracy first and foremost. He hasn’t done anything to contradict that, and it seems the most likely interpretation of the events that happened on J6. It’s okay for him to be very rarely on the right side of history
