Former Vice President Pence on Tuesday delivered his strongest condemnation yet of former President Trump, after his former running mate was indicted Tuesday on four criminal charges related to his efforts to cling to power and overturn the results of the 2020 election.
“Today’s indictment serves as an important reminder: anyone who puts himself over the Constitution should never be President of the United States,” Pence wrote in a statement.
I try not to be a fan of politicians in general, but his administration is at worst a standard dem one and at best a very successful dem one. Also, for a man who came of age before most of our parents were born his administration does seem to try to enact more progressive policies than I might have expected.
Pence’s dig just seems pathetic in the face of that.
There was once a point I thought Pence was just a brainwashed zealot who was well-meaning in his crazy way. But that Pence, as much as he terrified me in a Handmaid’s Tale sort of way, is not one I would have imagined would tell bold faced lies about the economy.
As for Biden, yeah. I hate a lot of his past stances, and I hate the way he’s treating progressivism (which could grow rapidly or be crushed with the last 5 years’ activities), but I cannot say he’s doing anything but a stellar job on the day-to-day of it all. And he does give some minor compensation to progressives, even if SCOTUS said “executive orders by Democratic presidents are unconstitutional”
