We think it’s safe to say the love affair between Donald Trump and Mike Pence is officially O-V-E-R over.
Trump is planning a grand departure ceremony tomorrow morning at Joint Base Andrews. The military sendoff is expected to be attended by all of his closest friends and confidants.
All except for Mike Pence, that is.
According to multiple sources, the outgoing vice president will not be there to wave his old boss goodbye.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
His team says there’s just no way he can attend both Trump’s sendoff at 8 a.m. and Biden’s inauguration at noon, sooooo he’s opting to attend Biden’s thingy instead.
We’re sure that’s it and not because Trump threw him under the bus earlier this month when he ordered an angry mob to storm the U.S. Capitol while Pence was inside overseeing the certification of Biden’s victory.
Trump is expected to give a short speech before waving goodbye to his last remaining followers and boarding Air Force One for the last time as president. He will be flown to Mar-a-Lago, where neighbors are demanding he find another property to bask in the warm glow of his legacy.
CNN reports:
While he’s eagerly anticipating his military-style send-off from Joint Base Andrews on Inauguration morning — one of the few items that have cheered him up recently — there were already signs the crowd may be smaller than he’d hoped. And a slate of actual celebrities lined up for Biden’s inauguration has disappointed a president who tried and often failed to secure A-list support for his own presidency.
As for Pence, he hasn’t indicated what he plans on doing after he’s out of a job tomorrow, although there are reports he’s considering a 2024 run for president. That’s only if, of course, Mother allows it.

No that Trump is off Twitter it’s amazing how all of these cowards are slightly less afraid of upsetting him.
Pence represents the definitive Republican man, tries to talk tough but is wimpy and terrified of the weakest bully.

Well the military could forgo his send off. It’s like what’s he going to do if they don’t?

I remember when Trumpists were trashing John McCain for not inviting Trump to his funeral. They will probably call Pence names for not going to Trump’s party after he almost got him and his family killed.

Oh, Pence, please run in 2024. You have the personality of a dead trout.

I love how Republicans are so sexist that they at first were praising Mike Pence for not having meetings with women because of his marriage.
It never occurs to them that if the boss won’t meet with women, that means women don’t get hired or promoted. The fact that Republicans saw no problem shows just how much they hate women, in addition to Black people, Latinos, and LGBTQ people.

Well, once they made it “publicly” incorrect to pick ’em up like they were bowling balls they no longer had any use for them. Used to be like the school term FFFF, forget ’em being the last in that series in case you too young to know.
