Hot off the press!

Google News: "(CNN)Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday publicly broke with President Donald Trump, the boss he's served obsequiously for four years, saying he cannot submit to demands he overthrow the results of the election.

Pence formalized his views in a letter to lawmakers, declaring he has no "unilateral authority to decide presidential contests" and could not change the results of the election.
"It is my considered judgement that my oath to support and defend the Constitution constrains me from claiming unilateral authority to determine which electoral votes should be counted and which should not," he wrote.

He ended his letter: "So Help Me God."
^^^^^^

Welp, this should be an interesting partnership between now and 1/20.

He could not say that a day earlier? He had to wait until violence broke out on the Capitol and one woman died to make this declaration? Had he took that stance public earlier, maybe, just maybe, the violence would have been avoided and the woman did not have to die.

You know.... sometimes I have to remind myself that humans don't follow the laws of natural selection the way the other animals on this planet do. When a chicken is defective, the other chickens peck it to death.

Take it easy on Mike, damn.

The statement/letter was given this morning.

I don't agree with a lot of what Mike Pence believes, but he's been an honorable VP, and a much, much better man than his boss. I've said a number of times that I've felt really sorry for him - what a shitty position to be in.

Gotta wonder, what prompted him to accept the position in the first place - aspiration to ~~higher~~ the highest office?

Maybe he thought he could act as a moderating influence. Maybe he didn't think Trump could win, although I guess he'd have quit before the second election if that was the case.
