Pence confirms he took notes on Trump about overturning election - Lemmy.world

Former Vice President Mike Pence has confirmed that he took notes on his conversations with former President Trump leading up to the Jan. 6 riot, as Trump repeatedly pressured him to reject the results of the 2020 election during the certification in Congress.

All the more reason to convict him as an accomplice. He knew what was coming and still did nothing to stop it.

Its complicated, because he did stop it. He also immediately took notes and immediately told others about the conversations, actions which clearly paint him as somebody fully versed in the processes of establishing cooperation with law enforcement on an informer basis.

It is also arguable that the entire insurrection that day was a cover to specifically murder Mike Pence on the Capitol steps. There was day of chatter that the gallow was brought into the city in one of the vehicles in Alex Jones’ caravan. We know that with the charging of Donald Trump, Alex Jones is now essentially the only conspirator of Jan. 6 who remains charge free.

Whatever we think of Mike Pence, our country still existing might have solely rested in his hands and it appears he did the right thing in the way he knew how. He saved his life. He saved his family’s life. He saved his country.

I find the idea of giving Pence one iota of credit for any of that to be profane in the extreme, but if it turns out to be true… ugh… I suppose I would have to.

still, gross. he’s such a terrible person.

Yeah he's a religious nutter but at least he respects democracy.
So being religious is now being an asshole?

Legislative policy based on a certain religion is violent fascism. And anyone who holds office and uses their religion to enact legislation is absolutely an anti American POS, incompatible with modern civilization, no better than the worst terrorist. And they should not be tolerated in any manner that allows them to hold political power. And anyone who votes for such a candidate is no better than them.

Fuck these religious right wing fuckers. They’re all part of a doomsday death cult.

I bet you don’t even know what fascism means
I don’t know how anyone couldn’t. It’s taught in elementary school.
Then wtf screams fascism to you in half of your country? If it’s identity politics I better shut up
