Yeah, I’m old enough to have watched Enterprise when it was first aired, and I always went to grab a snack from the kitchen or something while the theme played.

I agree that this is pretty annoying behavior, though.

Yeah, I know they have to follow their script, so I just play along. And honestly, it’s not as if I’ve never made a stupid mistake before, like accidentally leaving something unplugged.

OK, who are you voting for, then?

Nice one.

Historically the Republican candidates have demonstrated enviable party discipline and fallen in line after the nominee has been chosen, but Trump and the rest of the MAGA crowd have shown themselves to be so duplicitous that they won’t even honor agreements made with other Republicans. The more mainstream candidates like Pence may just figure that this time around there’s nothing in it for them, that they won’t get anything from Trump in return for their endorsement, not even goodwill.

Trump tweeted that Pence “didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution.”

Trump is so unprincipled that he managed to get it exactly backwards. January 6 is the one time Pence actually stood up and did the right thing. I loathe the man, but I won’t deny him credit where it’s due. I can’t even begin to imagine the level of chaos if he had gone along with Trump and his followers and refused to certify the 2020 election results.

He’s the living embodiment of the seven deadly sins.
