Can’t agree with you there, Mike
Oh go put your head under a truck wheel, Pence.
In a Sunday interview with CBS News, Vice President Mike Pence likened President Donald Trump to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Sure, don’t you remember how King clamored for a Wall? A Wall keeping black kids out of white schools? A Wall keeping black people from sitting at the Woolworth’s lunch counter? A Wall keeping black people out of white neighborhoods? A Wall keeping all the good jobs for white people and the ones that promise hard labor at low pay for black people? Wasn’t that a time.
“And honestly,” he opined, “the hearts and minds of the American people are thinking a lot today about [this] being the weekend we remember the life and work of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.”
“One of my favorite quotes from Dr. King was, ‘Now is the time to make real the promises of Democracy,’” Pence continued. “You think of how he changed America, he inspired us to change through the legislative process, to become a more perfect union. That’s exactly what President Trump is calling on the Congress to do, come to the table in a spirit of good faith.”
And agree to build a giant Wall to keep brown people out of White Man’s Country.
I suppose being likened to MLK is a bit less grandiose than those billboards featuring a photo of the Orange One with the caption “The Word Beacme Flesh.”

Someone should tell Mike that he’s the one person in the administration that Donnie can’t fire.
Yes he can. He just has to wait until the next election.
Pence isn’t worried about being fired, he’s worried about voters being willing to vote for him in his own presidential race, so he doesn’t want to offend Trump voters.
iknklast,
Fair enough; I’ll amend my statement to “he’s the one person in the administration that Donnie can’t fire summarily.
As for your second point, that’s a trickier issue. Surely if Pence is running next year, it’s because one way or another Trump has been forced out, and it’s very likely that being too close to him could be seen as a liability (I’m not going to address the possibility that Trump is still in office in 2024; that’s just too depressing a thought). It just seems to me that the smart move for the one person who doesn’t really have a job to do, and doesn’t have any immediate need to suck up, would be to stay in the background as much as possible and build up plausible deniability. This over the top ass kissing, even from someone as despicable as Pence, is just embarrassing.
