His group spent nearly $1 million on ads opposing Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Donald Trump’s pick to lead the nation’s health agencies. He’s delivering speeches urging the president to stand with longstanding foreign allies and lobbying members of Congress while aides write letters and opinion columns.
This weekend, he posted an article he penned more than a decade ago on the limits of presidential power after Trump claimed that, “He who saves his Country does not violate any Law.”
Mike Pence is emerging as one of the last Republicans in Washington willing to publicly criticize the new administration.
It’s an especially jarring role for the former vice president, whose refusal to break with Trump defined their time together in office until the two had a falling out over Trump’s refusal to accept the results of the 2020 election and his efforts to remain in power.
Remember how Mike Pence was the reason why everyone was scared in 2016? Some reckoned he was worse than Trump
Sure, but I feel like he deserves props for refusing to go along with Jan 6 knowing full well Trump was okay with him being lynched by his mob. One of the scarier aspects to me was him refusing to get in the car with the secret service, presumably because he was scared of where Trump’s secret service were going to take him.
Edit: I forgot to make it clear. He’s an awful human being with awful evil beliefs, but at least it seems like he’s not a fascist, just a christo-nationalist. :l

The limbo bar is on the floor. The bar to beat isn’t “Person who wants the best version of this country to exist, and sells his base on his vision of that”
The bar to beat is now “Still an awful human who intends to enforce policies that will actively harm millions of Americans…but NOT a fascist!”
Honestly he deserves to just be left alone and almost forgotten. Him and his family were the target of both sides after 2020.
Was part off an snl skit.
The crowd was literally chanting “hang Mike Pence”. Kudos to him for not going along with Trumps plan of overthrowing the election.
Yet still I can’t help but wonder whether he was secretly hoping for Trump to lose the 3rd election and the Republican party returning to its old ways somehow. Why? Because he’s been suspiciously silent ever since when he had the cachet and moral standing to be one of his greatest detractors (from the Republican side).
Just want to say Fuck Mike Pence. He has no room to say shit and again fuck this guy.
Oh fuck off. No more redemption stories. No one should fall for this shit. Especially from a low charisma shit head like Mike pence.
Pence made that bed - he needs to lie in it now.
There is almost a zero chance Trump will run in 2028. He is old and that would be his third term. JD Vance is really the successor.
JD Vance is a charisma vacuum who is just plain weird. No chance the Republicans run him.
i heard he tried to have sex with a sofa or something
JD Vance fucked a couch, not a sofa.
I see! Thank you for clarifying. Poor couch 😓
Sofa king, a couch?
We will see in 4 years
If he’s alive, he’ll run. I know it’s unconstitutional. But he’ll still run with some bs excuse for why he’s still eligible.
