Summary
Mike Pence opposed Trump’s nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of HHS, citing Kennedy’s support for abortion access as a sharp departure from the Trump-Pence administration’s pro-life stance.
Pence urged Senate Republicans to reject Kennedy’s nomination, claiming Kennedy supports “abortion on demand” and restoring Roe v. Wade.
Both pro-life and abortion rights groups criticized Kennedy’s appointment, with pro-life leaders expressing concerns about his past positions and abortion rights advocates calling him unfit.
Gee, a republican accidentally doing the right thing for the worst possible reasons.
What are the odds of that?
But what does his flying insect debate opponent think?
I’m hoping the infighting really slows down the fascism just a lil bit. I’m really hoping we can get trump and musk to fight because they’re both egotistical assholes. Please somebody ask them who’s smarter during a public appearance.
Well it’s not like this is infighting. Pence is way on the outside.
Honestly I’m at the point where I just don’t know which way minimizes casualties. I feel like it’s like trying to calculate if the nukes in WW2 saved more lives than they cost.
Stopping facism seems off the table. If something manages to moderate it, it may kill less per year, but may last decades longer.
Letting it run without rails it may kill millions, may start a war, but it might collapse on itself sooner.
IMO the real mystery is, did the people who had the spine to say no to trump in 2016-2020… part of why he got elected again… if trump had say been allowed to launch a nuke into a hurricane, would he have been able to make his comeback.
Please somebody ask them who’s smarter during a public appearance.
Excellent idea. Here’s my idea to improve it: someone should throw a golden apple with the carved words “τη εξυπνότερους” (“The smartest”, alluding to the “Ti Kallisti” inscription from the Apple of Discord), to make Eris proud.
But I thought we were trying to not let that shitshow evolve into a full scale war.
Mike Pence: I’m so wrong that even when I accidentally suggest the right thing, it’s because I’m so wrong.
His logic literally buffer underflowed
Figures the guy who let AIDS run rampant in Indiana doesn’t care about RFK Jr’s stance on viruses.
On the other hand, RFK has said more than once that AIDS isn’t caused by a virus, it’s caused by gay people partying. You’d think Pence would be on board with that.
Funny how he still thinks anyone in the Republican party cares about what he has to say.
🤣
What is this world
Criticizing not because its a foolish pick, but because"omg hes too ‘left leaning’, omg abortion access omg will someone save the children"
Edit: Also Pence you forgot you aren’t VP anymore.
Also Pence you forgot you aren’t VP anymore
ABC also forgot, how the hell this moron’s opinion is worth a whole ass news article is completely beyond me
Somehow he used the wrong formula but got the right answer.
Who fucking cares what Mike Pence thinks? Republicans hate his guts since Trump turned on him and everyone else has always hated him, and he doesn’t have any political power, so his opinion has like negative news value these days. I guess mainstream media companies just can’t resist his dynamic intellect and incredible charisma /s (that “/s” doesn’t really feel sufficient, he makes Jeff Sessions look smart and Jared Kushner seem human)
I have a little respect for him because he refused to give in to Trump’s demands to mess with the certification process on January 6th.
I disagree with him on most everything, but he is a principled person. More than you can say for Trump.
Pence didn’t refuse trump because he’s principled – he explored everything he could think of to go along with trump, even calling Dan Quayle to ask for more options:
"Over and over, Pence asked if there was anything he could do.
"‘Mike, you have no flexibility on this. None. Zero. Forget it. Put it away,’ Quayle told him.
"Pence pressed again.
"‘You don’t know the position I’m in,’ he said, according to the authors.
“‘I do know the position you’re in,’ Quayle responded. ‘I also know what the law is. You listen to the parliamentarian. That’s all you do. You have no power.’”
Nah, he was just looking out for himself and liked his odds better with the armed officers than with the angry mob. Fact is if he thought he could get away with imposing his ideal Christian dictatorship on all of us he’d do it in a heartbeat.
He’s an asshole and an idiot who was stupid enough to work for Donald Trump in the first place, and thinking that moron dirtbags like him have anything valuable to say is only going to dig America into a deeper hole.
RFK and Beavis are loyalty tests. It’s not surprising Mikey is saying no.
The plan with trump is always to make the minions fight over him. He deliberately picks pieces of shit
Or distractions for other terrible picks. Everyone will spend their outrage on these.
It’s both.
Mother doesn’t approve of that.
That does look like the face of a man who would taxidermy his mother.
Wow, keep it in the bedroom, Pence.
Task failed successfully
Mike pence can FOAD. Along with Kennedy.
