Mike Pence is back, praising Trump and attacking Biden

Did anyone listen as far as Trump whining about the Giuliani story to Fox News? I didn't recognise his voice: he sounded somehow small. No bombast. It was slightly weird.

Mikey - the f*cker was happy to see you hanging from the gallows. Hmm

Former VP Mike Pence made his return to the public spotlight tonight with a speech in Columbia, South Carolina. He touted his work in the Trump administration - something he called the "greatest honor of my life" - and took shots at Biden's start.

“Thursday night's speech marked a turning point for Pence, who is expected to have an increased travel schedule moving forward. ... He'll likely be active on the campaign trail during the 2022 cycle to help Republicans try to win back the House and Senate.”

I'm delighted that Biden has allowed the Pentagon to put the money Trump misappropriated for his plasticine wall back where it belongs, into building schools for the kids of service personnel.

Supreme Court watchers getting understandably twitchy. If Breyer is planning on retiring he really does need to do it sooner rather than later.

Court watchers buzz about Breyer's possible retirement.

This appears to be Trump at Mar-a-Lago telling his customers that the bizarre Arizona recount will be the first domino to fall in apparently somehow undoing the election?

The one time leader of the free world who now lives alone in a hotel sharing buffets, common areas, and staff with strangers, yearns for attention and relevance so badly, he now stands on a patio step every night ranting to tens of people about a 6 month old election that he lost.

Newsmax suggested Dominion's security director manipulated voting machines to thwart President Donald Trump's re-election.

NorthWest how sad and ridiculous is Trump. Looking at that video of him rambling on to anyone who will listen at Mar-A-Lago and then I think of Jimmy Carter and his homes for humanity that he set up and still works on decades later.
What a dick Trump was. There will be no legacy left for him... except perhaps embarrassment for the American people that he managed to get elected.

I've just seen this on Twitter, Dan Rather being sarcastic, I understand.

Just checking in on how the party of “family values” is doing. Seems like the phrase is going through a bit of a redefinition."

Currently involved in Greek Orthodox Easter, so wondering what this is about, could anyone here kindly enlighten me, please? Thank you and Kalo Pascha. Or Happy May Day, if you prefer!

'Ali Alexander, the organizer of the rally that preceded the siege of the Capitol on January 6, said GOP Reps. Andy Biggs, Mo Brooks, and Paul Gosar helped him plan it, The Washington Post reported.'

Apparently there are die-hard Q Bots in America spending money like there’s no tomorrow because they are living in a fantasy land where Trump is magically going to cancel all debts. Confused

DuncinToffee · 02/05/2021 10:41

Kalo Pascha jaichange

I think it has something to do with Pence's speech of family values and the likes of Gaetz (sex trafficking), Guilliani etc.

I think that's as it should be, plain and simple. The wall was never going to make a blind bit of difference, and it was a monumental waste of money which would be better spent on practically anything else apart from crack cocaine.

I hadn't realise the bloody fools had breached the levees in the Rio Grande Valley, though. Some of the money will clearly have to be spent mending that mess.

Who is going to put right the mess Melania made of the White House rose garden? And how much money will that take? Blast the Trumps. At least the crab-apple trees are still in the greenhouses and can be re-planted. -- They can leave a disabled-access pathway, but the rest? Bring back the trees and the colours!

slate.com/news-and-politics/2021/05/nearman-oregon-lawmaker-charges-rioters-state-capitol.html

'A Republican lawmaker in the Oregon House of Representatives is facing two criminal charges for letting rioters into the state Capitol in December. State Rep. Mike Nearman was charged Friday with official misconduct in the first degree, which is a class A misdemeanor, and criminal trespass in the second degree, which is a class C misdemeanor. The charges came after months of investigation into what happened on Dec. 21, when rioters got into the Capitol at a time when it was closed to the public and lawmakers held an emergency session on COVID-19 relief. Surveillance footage showed Nearman leaving the Capitol into a group of protesters trying to get inside. The move appeared designed to allow the demonstrators, who were demanding an end to virus-related restrictions, into the building.'

Thanks, @DuncinToffee - we had a great socially distanced Easter Sunday.
I hadn't realised Pence had made a speech, now I get it. Not sure if I can face reading it! OK, a secondary question, if I may. Is all this stuff about Hunter Biden's computer a complete fiction, along the lines of Hillary's emails?
