QOTD -- Principled!

"We want at every level of government the same kind of principled, common-sense conservative leadership that President Donald Trump has brought to the White House." -- sycophantic dolt Mike "Dense" Pence urging fellow cretins in Virginia Beach, VA, to get out and vote in Tuesday's election for the Virginia House of Delegates and Senate, making it essentially a referendum on Trump.  Yes, that's the Republican pitch:  we want to give you Trumpism at all levels of government!  We'll see how that works out for ya' on Tuesday, Dense!

Tweets Of The Day -- Suck Up

"I don't know that I've ever been more proud to be standing next to your desk than I am today," Vice President Mike Pence said to Donald Trump before the president formally vetoed the bipartisan resolution blocking his national emergency declaration https://t.co/NRzHXNA79I pic.twitter.com/n4TUVmXYY4

You know no matter how embarrassing Pence’s lap-dogging, Trump always lies awake at night suspecting he’s measuring the drapes.

"Inconceivable"

Tuesday, Flunky defends nonsense pulled hot out of a Very Stable Genius' ample ass:

"Well, it’s inconceivable that there are not people of Middle Eastern descent in a crowd of more than 7,000 people advancing toward our border," [VP Mike] Pence said in an interview with Washington Post reporter Robert Costa at an event sponsored by newspaper.  (our emphasis)

A few hours later on Tuesday, a Very Stable Genius kneecaps Flunky:

[P]pressed for the proof of Middle Eastern individuals in the caravan by CNN's Jim Acosta, Trump said "there's no proof of anything." 

"There's no proof of anything but they could very well be," Trump said.  (our emphasis)

It's "inconceivable" that these vicious morons are in the positions they're in, but that's where we are for now.

"Monkey See, Monkey Do"

Is there anyone who's more of a sycophantic hack and smarmy ass-kisser than Mike "Dense" Pence? He has offered up whatever manhood he possessed (and it wasn't much to begin with) for the greater glory of narcissist and sociopath Donald "Rump" Trump. However, yesterday's meeting at FEMA was in a class by itself, as many, including the newscasters at Minneapolis' WCCO, observed:



What a pathetic, hypocritical, hollow excuse for a man. But we already knew that.

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.

Pence, Rethugs And The Art Of Ass Kissing (UPDATED)

One of the more revolting aspects of the administration of demagogue and narcissist Donald "Rump" Trump is the constant lavishing of over-the-top, undeserved praise that Rump needs to prop up his damaged ego. First among ass-kissers is his own vice president, the smarmy and spineless suck up Mike "Dense" Pence. Dense gave a performance yesterday in front of Rump and the entire Cabinet that was full of obsequious, ridiculous praise for Dear Leader, thanking him "humbly" and profusely for the job he was doing, while Rump sat across the table with a smug and satisfied look on his face.

Then there was the gathering of Dense and the coin-operated Rethuglicans who gathered on the White House portico to once again lavish praise on Rump for the wealthfare tax bill (also known as the Swamp Prosperity Act). One after another, they sang the praises of the Narcissist In Chief, who imagines himself more like a banana republic authoritarian or emperor than a president. Among the worst were social Darwinist and Squeaker of the House Paul "Lyin'" Ryan who nonsensically complimented Rump's "exquisite leadership," and the despicable old sociopath Sen. Orrin Hatch, who told Rump, "you're one heck of a leader," and saying that Rump might go down in history as the greatest President. They certainly know how to play Rump.

The antidote to this betrayal of democracy and democratic norms is to send as many as these cynical and unpatriotic scammers packing when they're up for reelection. In the meantime, Resist.

UPDATE: To get the full effect of Pence's nauseating performance, here it is:

This Mike Pence "prayer" of thanks to Trump is excruciatingly, stomach-churningly uncomfortable to watch. The ritual submission and exaltation is nearly pornographic. This is not America. pic.twitter.com/FN6y2X2K73
