Pious, Pusillanimous Pence's Pandering



Dull human/ termite hybrid Vice "President" Mike "Dense" Pence has a very altruistic thought about Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Trump/ Russia collusion (i.e., "what does Putin have on Trump?"):
"In the interests of the country, I think it's time to wrap it up." Pence told NBC News following the release of three Americans held by North Korea. 
Pence said the Trump administration has "fully cooperated" with Mueller's probe, including turning over more than one million documents. President Donald Trump has called the investigation a "witch hunt," and his outside counsel, former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani, has called on the Justice Department to put an end to the probe. 
Pence added: "I would very respectfully encourage the special counsel and his team to bring their work to completion."
Well, don't hold your breath.  One wonders if Dense is merely engaged in another rite of kowtowing obeisance to his dear leader, or if he thinks Mueller is getting too close to his own possible involvement in some aspect, or if he also senses that the end of the Mueller probe may also mean the beginning of the Dense administration. (Using Occam's razor principle, because of the nature of the dull beast, we think he's just kowtowing.)

Dense's craven ass- kissing routine has long appalled a number of #NeverTrump right- wingers, including Jennifer Rubin here and here, Joe Scar this morning, and paleo- Tory George Will, who also had a blistering takedown of Dense today:
Donald Trump, with his feral cunning, knew. The oleaginous Mike Pence, with his talent for toadyism and appetite for obsequiousness, could, Trump knew, become America’s most repulsive public figure. And Pence, who has reached this pinnacle by dethroning his benefactor, is augmenting the public stock of useful knowledge. Because his is the authentic voice of today’s lickspittle Republican Party, he clarifies this year’s elections: Vote Republican to ratify groveling as governing. [snip]
Trump is what he is, a floundering, inarticulate jumble of gnawing insecurities and not-at-all compensating vanities, which is pathetic. Pence is what he has chosen to be, which is horrifying.
Dense, Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, the entire membership of the Republican Party in Congress and Trump- loving Republicans throughout the nation are co- conspirators in the unfolding disaster that the Very Stable Genius has visited upon us. Whatever happens to Trump and Dense, it must always be remembered that they were born, existed and survived thanks to this rotted out collection of party- before- country nihilist shitheel slugs.
