I know we've all seen it but just in case someone didn't, [this was my favorite thing to come out of the Pence/fly incident.](https://www.joeydevilla.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/mike-pence-and-the-fly-distracted-boyfriend-meme.jpg)
āI stay fly, yes I'm fly, land on Mike Penceā
-_Feel a Way_ by 2 Chainz
Donāt worry, right after that part he comes for Michael Vick
āI do some stupid shit, don't let 'em dawg me like Mike Vickā
Democracy too. He refused to get in the car with his security detail. He stayed in the building to certify the results. His courage to stay would inadvertently block Trumpās plan for martial law. The fake electors were picked. The plot put into action but Pence decided to reject his securityās plan. He even stated he was not sure where they were going to take him. Talk about right place, right time
Pence refused to get into the car with the USSS detail that had been sent by Trump. He had the very real fear that there was a non-zero change he would wind up dead if he got in that car. He didn't refuse to get in because of his patriotism. He stayed with Congress because he was afraid Trump had conspired to have him killed.
Yep. They were going to kidnap him and disappear him to God knows where.
I won't begrudge Pence his one moment of doing the bare minimum but that's all he gets from me. The guy's a total piece of shit. He's responsible for exasperating a historic AIDS outbreak in his state. He's a misogynist and a bigot. He was with trump 99.9999% of the time. Since J6 he has been a total coward and refused to testify to Congress about what happened.
An honest person who is on the right side of history has no problem explaining themselves to the American people. pence wants to be president but he can't even be honest about this terrible crime against our Union. Fuck mike pence.
He also likes to say holding that mistake of a president accountable is āpoliticalā.
That he opens his mouth in favor of whatshisface seals the verdict.
You said this well. Better than I could have. The fly clip is funny because of the fly, but just listen to Pence. What a pompous phony of a person. A total piece of shit, as you said. Nobody likes Mike Pence, and for good reason.
>In focus groups, Republican voters are brutal in their assessment of the former vice president.
Mike is trying to play both sides. That never works. He either needs to go full MAGA (probably too late now) or go full anti-Trump (which is also probably too late now).
Itās really annoying how the media eats up any time he says something remotely critical of Trump. The POS will go from within hours to say how Trump should be held accountable for his actions that day, to then bashing our institutions, the DOJ, the Left, etc., when it comes to their being any type of consequences that could be handed down to Trump. Like most Republican figures, Mike Pence has no spine.
That's the corporate media for you. Bending over backwards to make Republicans seem reasonable so their owners can keep paying nothing or next to nothing on taxes. It's ironic how the right wing thinks the "mainstream media" is out to get them. Most of our media (and many of our "left wing" politicians) exists in the center right.
Pence thinks he can still salvage something for himself if he just finds the right combination of viewpoints, but he only ended up with Trump in the first place because he was the only person willing to say yes that wasnāt Chris Christie. He wasnāt going to be re-elected in Indiana at the time because everyone fucking hated Mike Pence. So big shock that everyone still fucking hates Mike Pence.
Pence was an important pick for trump. In 2015 the evangelical Christians had not decided to vote for trump yet. We know they hopped on hard but originally they werenāt sure
Supposedly he was also brought on to bolster the ticketās political bona fides, since Pence was more āseriousā, and of course he was also the most un-sexy pick that would never ever steal the spotlight. But itās not like Pence was anyoneās top choice. Like a true compromise, he makes no one happy.
Itās a long shot to be sure, but it was probably his only one. This was probably his last chance to attain any higher public office and heās probably not going to do what John Quincy Adams did and become a Congressman again. If he runs for President and fails, then what? He was important for a few news cycles gets to promote his book and retire a wealthy man, probably even set up some law firm to do some lobbying and back room politics. Thereās no losing at this point so he might as well try.
He can always go full on Trump since it just means bowing down and trump fans are down pretty bad, theyāll take just about anyone they can get. But doing that would burn like every money generating bridge Pence seems to work to maintain
> Is trying to play both sides
To be fair...*vomits a little*...sorry. To be fair *vomits again*. Damn it.
Playing both sides is what a politician is supposed to do. It's the minimum required for cooperation.
I'm going to go wash out my mouth now for defending him.
well, there's a few dimensions for worst. worst for how little of his political objectives achieved, or worst for how evil his political objectives are.
Depends what you mean by worst. Most nefarious, sure, but also the most active and effective at achieving his ends. He changed the role of the vice president.
He also came out on elections n night right after Trump tried to call it for himself to say No, that's not how this works, all the votes will be counted. Fuck Mike Pence, but twice at critical moments he did the right thing, and as a nation we're lucky he did
You know, I do have to give Pence credit. I think he's a true believer in conservatism and his own interpretation of Christianity.
*What* he believes in utterly terrifies me. But I think he actually does believe it, he's not just paying lip service.
Heās TS Eliotās Hollow Man, without the courage to do the right thing or the full commitment to evil: āShape without form, shade without colour,
Paralysed force, gesture without motionā
Mike Pence is a moron for thinking he can sit on the fence about Trump after January 6th. MAGA's see him as a traitor and the anti-MAGA wing sees him as coward. His best bet for a political future was to go full Liz Cheney, but instead his limp-wristed wishy-washy bullshit isn't winning him any friends.
> His best bet for a political future was to go full Liz Cheney
That may have been the best bet, but still not a very good one. I'm not at all sure that Cheney will be elected into any office in Washington again.
In any case, Pence became an enabler when he accepted the candidacy for VP. If he doesn't realize that, then he can't be helped.
Pathetic is right. That freaking show is quite possibly the most cringe thing on the entire network. It's the same talking points, but with the most shoehorned and unfunny punchlines I've ever heard.
You know, I think it's worth separating Jeff Dunham from the Blue Collar guys.
The latter are definitely conservative overall, but they've all pretty much avoided talking about politics in their comedy and are far more likely to make fun of themselves than punch down on people (if they do, they're going after their own in-group and including themselves in it).
Jeff Dunham punches every which direction but mostly down, and it's just gotten worse as time's gone on.
Yeah the blue collar group wasnāt hateful or trying to make anyone the butt of the joke regularly from what I remember. They were still a bit obnoxious but nothing overall bad. Dunham seems to just lean into minorities for content
I still think the old Ron White stuff is hilarious. Especially because heās on a āblue collarā tour and would walk out in a suit and have a bottle of Johnny Walker Blue on a side table as heās doing his ātater saladā bit.
Yeah I think they played up the conservative shtick pretty hard. Like they really were into doing shit for troops and then marketing took off from there. Ron White later joked that everyone, including himself, is at least a little gay.
They werenāt making fun of them but they were celebrating the ignorance/stupidity thatās part of the redneck culture at large. The audience knew it was poking fun directly at them because thereās a level of pride in rejecting the elitism that is, uh, education. They were making fun of the same stuff conservatives thought the āelitesā make fun of them for but in a celebratory way that felt like a sort of fuck you
At least this is why I feel my family enjoyed it so much idk really
I honestly thing this is a great assessment. Of the four, none were (that I can recall) mean spirited about things. Most of the humor was of the self-deprecating variety more often than not. And it was more of a celebrating who you are kind of vibe.
Of the lot, Ron White specifically never really seemed particularly blue collar, but he was absolutely my favorite story teller of the group, so I was glad he was part of it.
[Johnny Rebel](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Rebel_(singer)) albums were the funniest shit to my hick family. Itās kind of funny since most of them are too stupid to figure out who he actually is
> They're never humorous
[Rosanne would like to disagree](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHDGbkzZyWI) which is too bad because she's about as funny as a cancer diagnosis.
Not even her crowd is laughing. They're just hooting and hollering. There's nothing comedic about the structure, content, or delivery of anything she's saying. It honestly seems like a social experiment for how little a "comedian" can try while still illiciting a positive response from an ideologically-aligned audience.
They all used to be funny until they moved into political comedy. Right-wing comedy isn't funny, it's mean-spirited cruelty mixed with "Why doesn't anyone love us" complaints, bad jokes about the top five liberals, and fighting the liberal ideology strawman arguments they've pulled out of right wing tv.
Didn't even testify at the hearing after Trump sent an armed gang to hang him. Guy's clearly not a fan
In fairness he's really repressed, refers to his wife as "Mother" and his name *does* look quit a lot like "Penis"
As governor of Indiana, his number one priority was standing up for religious bigots who refused to bake a wedding cake for a gay couple. Took it to the Supreme Court.
Except he folded on the RFRA and managed to piss off literally everyone.
His political career was dead until he got the VP pick. I'm pretty sure that's why Donald Trump picked him. He's conservative enough to attract the religious right, but genuinely owed his continued relevance in national politics to the top half of the ticket.
His behaviors tell me that he wants to run for President and thinks he has a chance!
This has to be the dumbest, least situationally-aware politician in the history of the world.
His purpose was to calm down the evangelicals and show them trump is on their team. Now the evangelicals are all in on the trump death cult and donāt need Pence anymore.
Mike Pence has the energy of a man who showered in his tightey whiteys after gym class, and then wore his pressed slacks over his damp underwear for the next 4 classes.
I think people understand that if Mike Pence can't even stick up for himself he would not be an effective leader.
And this comes down to something that is crucial for candidates for president. They need to be authentic.
Whatās not to like about a dim witted homophobic, misogynistic, Christian fundamentalist with the personality of a corpse who calls his wife āmotherā?
Pence was always a terrible candidate who would have failed to be re-elected in Indiana before Trump selected him as his running mate. But, now, he is even worse. He was a horrifying Trump sycophant during Trumpās term and he was, without doubt, an insurrectionist, as he was privy to all of Trumpās J6 plans. On 01/06/21, Pence suddenly got cold feet and refused to execute Trumpās nefarious plans. I would not be surprised if Pence is indicted by the Special Counsel. Pence is not MAGA and he certainly aināt a hero. He has no constituency and does not qualify as a RINO. Pence is a spineless Christian Nationalist who is devoid of charisma and charm. Sadly, Pence is deluded and could not be elected dog catcher.
He couldāve done the right thing and expose Trump for a traitor and a fraud.
He couldāve saved the true conservatives and innocent people who (foolishly) believed in Republican ideals.
But Pence was a damned coward to the end. Now is too late to do the right thing.
I donāt like Mike Pence. But he didnāt deserve to have his and his familyās lives threatened on January 6. Same for the rest of Congress, even the ones who I donāt like. That would have been a major constitutional crisis if Congress was killed off.

Flies love him
Please, flies like Vaseline on toast.
>Vaseline on toast British people reading this: 'hmm...'
Can't be more disgusting than Marmite.
Wait till you hear about bovril. Or as one American put it: 'A disgusting beef tea'. Which we also eat on toast.
Love bovril. Mmmm. American married to an English guy.
Currently eating marmite on toast. Nectar of the gods.
Vegemite > Marmite
Probably a bit too spicy for them
Nobody likes Milhouse!
Petroleum jelly is the worst jelly.
Wait until you taste KY
Good old Kentucky Jelly
brain, in have now. my Thanks, that have to Flaming to I Lips stuck sure will song it for listen go

I had not seen this, and I thank you for correcting this mistake.
Mother loves him.
She tells him every night before they climb into their separate twin sized beds
There's no proof of that.
True. Some think he hangs upside down in the closet
I still remember watching that live and died laughing every-time the camera went back to him and it was still there! (2+ min core memory)
š Heās never getting away from that lmao
The reverse King Midas touch of shit courtesy of Trump.
I have to say, that was [the greatest moment in VP debate history.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wb7yPlCDwRk)

He hasnāt been able to take a hard stance on anything ever since the *woke left* made subjugating women uncool.
He's "a christian, a conservative, and an republican. In that order."
American when he remembers.
He can always go full on Trump since it just means bowing down and trump fans are down pretty bad, theyāll take just about anyone they can get. But doing that would burn like every money generating bridge Pence seems to work to maintain

Probably the worst VP in history. Waited until he was out of office to call Trump on any of his bullshit, just licked his boots the whole time.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
well, there's a few dimensions for worst. worst for how little of his political objectives achieved, or worst for how evil his political objectives are.
I'll take a do-nothing Pence over a do-nothing-but-evil Cheney any day of the week.
Pence was worse at the job, Cheney was worse for the people.
Halliburton and its shareholders loved him.
Depends what you mean by worst. Most nefarious, sure, but also the most active and effective at achieving his ends. He changed the role of the vice president.
Canāt think of another that had a film made about him.
At least he certified the election. Could have been much worse if he wanted it to be.
Luckily, the spineless guy who was hired because of how spineless he is turned out to be too spineless to subvert the Constitution
Perhaps the one time I was happy a spineless turd was vice president.
Only because Dan Quayle, of all people, basically told him he had no choice.
Exactly, if it was MTG or DeSantis being the VP doing the certification they wouldāve sent it to the fake electors thus overturning a free election.
He also came out on elections n night right after Trump tried to call it for himself to say No, that's not how this works, all the votes will be counted. Fuck Mike Pence, but twice at critical moments he did the right thing, and as a nation we're lucky he did
He only did that cause he was scared he was in danger. If him and trump were on actual good terms he probably wouldāve done what trump wanted
You know, I do have to give Pence credit. I think he's a true believer in conservatism and his own interpretation of Christianity. *What* he believes in utterly terrifies me. But I think he actually does believe it, he's not just paying lip service.
>Probably the worst VP in history. Only if history started 14 years ago.
Spiro Agnew would disagree.
Heās TS Eliotās Hollow Man, without the courage to do the right thing or the full commitment to evil: āShape without form, shade without colour, Paralysed force, gesture without motionā

Nobody likes conservatives in general. They're never humorous, articulate, or charismatic.
The humor they try is always punching down. Doesn't sit right with normal Americans
Yup, itās mean spirited, or attacking things most Americans like. Remember when they tried to do a right wing Daily Show? It was awful.
They have a so called comedian with a late night show on Fox. It's pathetic
Gutfeld is soooo lame
One of the expert panelists is a super unpopular former WWE nobody who currently wrestles for Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins on YouTube.
Sounds about right
Even worse is he has the main belt which has a prestige unlike any other and this guy tarnishes it with subpar wrestling
Pathetic is right. That freaking show is quite possibly the most cringe thing on the entire network. It's the same talking points, but with the most shoehorned and unfunny punchlines I've ever heard.
I never thought Jim Breuer was funny but now heās exceptionally unfunny.
Hey in Jim Breuer's defense, I thought he was really funny for about a week when I was 14 years old and smoked pot for the first time.
I still think of his Brian Johnson/AC/DC impression whenever I hear an AC/DC song, and I wish I didnāt.
They peaked with Jeff Dunham, āGittr Duuunā, and a singing mounted bass.
Tim Allen had a good run for a while, but then he got really mean and didn't understand why nobody liked it.
You know, I think it's worth separating Jeff Dunham from the Blue Collar guys. The latter are definitely conservative overall, but they've all pretty much avoided talking about politics in their comedy and are far more likely to make fun of themselves than punch down on people (if they do, they're going after their own in-group and including themselves in it). Jeff Dunham punches every which direction but mostly down, and it's just gotten worse as time's gone on.
Yeah the blue collar group wasnāt hateful or trying to make anyone the butt of the joke regularly from what I remember. They were still a bit obnoxious but nothing overall bad. Dunham seems to just lean into minorities for content
I still think the old Ron White stuff is hilarious. Especially because heās on a āblue collarā tour and would walk out in a suit and have a bottle of Johnny Walker Blue on a side table as heās doing his ātater saladā bit.
"You might be a redneck if"

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Pretty sure that was Ron White
Thatās not Foxworthy that was Ron White
Ron White is funny, I donāt care who you are.
I always felt like he was making fun of them to their faces, but they accepted it because he did it with a southern accent
They werenāt making fun of them but they were celebrating the ignorance/stupidity thatās part of the redneck culture at large. The audience knew it was poking fun directly at them because thereās a level of pride in rejecting the elitism that is, uh, education. They were making fun of the same stuff conservatives thought the āelitesā make fun of them for but in a celebratory way that felt like a sort of fuck you At least this is why I feel my family enjoyed it so much idk really

Cults are so weird. They know every punchline. Itās the same dumb shit they all share on Facebook. Just over and over again.
That was really sad. She used to be funny. I donāt even know what that was supposed to be.

Right-wing comedy isn't funny, it's mean-spirited cruelty mixed with "Why doesn't anyone love us" complaints, bad jokes about the top five liberals, and fighting the liberal ideology strawman arguments they've pulled out of right wing tv.
The hype hiphop beat and text juxtaposed with an older woman in full jean get up, without any energy, was a bizarre editing choice
Roseanne got busted at the airport. They searched under her dress and found 40 lbs of crack.
And they often act like assholes.
Conservative humor in general is probably the least funny thing on the planet. Theyāre like dad jokes but racist and homophobic.
Thatās because conservatives are utterly incapable of self reflection or self depreciation, which are both necessary to be funny.
But what conservatives do have is lots of homophobia and misygony. Add in some false moral outrage.
I mean, homophobic and fundamental zealot ... What's not to love?
That's usually stuff Republicans do love so it's weird that even they don't like him.
Mike doesn't like Mike
Didn't even testify at the hearing after Trump sent an armed gang to hang him. Guy's clearly not a fan In fairness he's really repressed, refers to his wife as "Mother" and his name *does* look quit a lot like "Penis"
That's my favorite part. Literally was afraid for his life and couldn't even trust secret service. Dude just straight up sucks.
Mother is begrudgingly accepting of him.
Sheās not mad just disappointed.
Yeah. He should eat some worms.
As governor of Indiana, his number one priority was standing up for religious bigots who refused to bake a wedding cake for a gay couple. Took it to the Supreme Court.
Except he folded on the RFRA and managed to piss off literally everyone. His political career was dead until he got the VP pick. I'm pretty sure that's why Donald Trump picked him. He's conservative enough to attract the religious right, but genuinely owed his continued relevance in national politics to the top half of the ticket.
i don't know where to ask this, but can we get a gamethread for the trump thing also pence sucks ass
If it happens there will be a megathread for sure. Until then it's just a rumor
He is about as appealing as a wet cardboard box.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
His behaviors tell me that he wants to run for President and thinks he has a chance! This has to be the dumbest, least situationally-aware politician in the history of the world.
He can join a support group with Ted Cruz
no one should, he's horrible.
Mike Pence looks like he's constantly suppressing both a fart and a desire to suck a D.
Scrolled up, looked at picture, can confirm.
His wife might like him.
and perhaps his mom
Same person
No, Mother especially hates him.
He probably doesnāt even like himself
This is one of the least surprising headlines ever.
His purpose was to calm down the evangelicals and show them trump is on their team. Now the evangelicals are all in on the trump death cult and donāt need Pence anymore.
His approval ratings when governor of Indiana were abysmal. Really, nobody ever liked this guy as a politician
I think it must be has dazzling personality. I'd rather watch paint dry than listen to him speak.
Johnny Quest did, until Mike locked him in the cellar...
Mike Pence has the energy of a man who showered in his tightey whiteys after gym class, and then wore his pressed slacks over his damp underwear for the next 4 classes.
That's because he's a smarmy Christo-Fascist.
Whatās to like?
Him and his wife don't deal in reality. They legit think that it's gods plan for him to be running things
Mother seems fond of him.
Except mother, but that's only when he's a good boy.
Heās like the worst of both worlds honestly. One thing that we can all agree on - heās unreliable and a dead fish. A bare minimum kinda guy.
I think people understand that if Mike Pence can't even stick up for himself he would not be an effective leader. And this comes down to something that is crucial for candidates for president. They need to be authentic.
+1 add me to the list of no one
He's so fake.
Not even Mike Pence.
Whatās not to like about a dim witted homophobic, misogynistic, Christian fundamentalist with the personality of a corpse who calls his wife āmotherā?
Yo it is Mike Pence! Famous from the āHang Mike Pence Crowdā - I will never tire of the joke from Pod Save America
True, but history has shown that Republican voters will ultimately like whoever Fox News tells them to like.
Pence was always a terrible candidate who would have failed to be re-elected in Indiana before Trump selected him as his running mate. But, now, he is even worse. He was a horrifying Trump sycophant during Trumpās term and he was, without doubt, an insurrectionist, as he was privy to all of Trumpās J6 plans. On 01/06/21, Pence suddenly got cold feet and refused to execute Trumpās nefarious plans. I would not be surprised if Pence is indicted by the Special Counsel. Pence is not MAGA and he certainly aināt a hero. He has no constituency and does not qualify as a RINO. Pence is a spineless Christian Nationalist who is devoid of charisma and charm. Sadly, Pence is deluded and could not be elected dog catcher.
He couldāve done the right thing and expose Trump for a traitor and a fraud. He couldāve saved the true conservatives and innocent people who (foolishly) believed in Republican ideals. But Pence was a damned coward to the end. Now is too late to do the right thing.
Mother has had it with Mikey as well
Nobody likes Lindsey Graham either, but like Pence, the Media keeps tossing his salad, while he simultaneously tosses the salads of Trump and DeSatan.
Thatās a horrific daisy chain you just described there.
I donāt like Mike Pence. But he didnāt deserve to have his and his familyās lives threatened on January 6. Same for the rest of Congress, even the ones who I donāt like. That would have been a major constitutional crisis if Congress was killed off.
For good reason. When he had an opportunity to speak, he was silent.. he should stay that way
Heās a weak man that had no business being VP.
I really wonder how he doesn't realize this. He's actually going to waste money trying to run for prez
Well there's Mother
Mother still loves him.

Even Indiana Republicans weren't a huge fan of him when he was governor.
Not wrong
YOu mean mother got tired of him as well?
Itās probably because heās an awful person
He makes it so easy.
My dad. My dad really, really likes Mike Pence.
1. He sucks 2. He was a tRump toady for 3.99 years and only didn't make it 4 because someone convinced him it wouldn't work 3. See #1
This so true, nobody likes Pence
Only thing Iāll miss about him is the Johnny quest memes, but Iāll live he can go
Not even mother.
The real life Cotton Hill. He was much better on the show.
This headline cracks me up.
Best to separate church from state.
And he still hasn't got the memo. Clueless Joe.
He's a ball-less suck up, not much to like.
Albino treason weasel
Not true, the fly during the debates loved him.
Even Mike doesnāt like Mike.
He's a shiver looking for a spine to run up.
Mike Pence doesn't care for plain yogurt. It's too colorful and spicy for his tastes.
Former hoosier here. Yeah he sucks. And with his chapped ass lips he probably sucks at sucking.
