Former Vice President Mike Pence and his mother, Karen, had two months between Election Day and Biden’s Inauguration to find new digs once their free, taxpayer-funded housing expired. But apparently they never bothered doing that because multiple media outlets are now reporting that the couple is homeless.
In his farewell address last week, a newly unemployed Pence told the crowd that he and Karen would be moving back to his beloved home state of Indiana, where he served as governor from 2013 to 2017, though he didn’t offer any specifics on where they would be living.
We now know that’s probably because he had no idea himself. And he still doesn’t seem to have any idea. Apparently, the couple has been couch surfing at the various people’s homes since Wednesday.
The Pences are currently said to be to be staying at Indiana governor Eric Holcomb’s cabin. Before that they reportedly spent a few days crashing at Pence’s brother’s house. The couple doesn’t own a home in Indiana because, prior to Pence’s four years as VP, they lived at the Indiana governor’s mansion.
How about we take this to the next level?

Meanwhile, Pence’s former-boss-turned-archnemesis, Donald Trump has locked himself away at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, where someone just chartered a private plane to fly over his golf course with a banner that read, “Trump you pathetic loser go back to Moscow.”

The one good thing Trump did, was, he was so obvious about how bad the Republican policies were and he exposed the rest of the party fully supporting him so obviously that it turned people against the GOP.
Someone like Pence is almost more dangerous because he stays quiet and media gives him cover. Trump was so over the top bad that even media had to report on it.

The media tried to cover for Trump, but Trump would have none of it and would Tweet out all his horribleness to counteract the media’s cover act.

Pence was so bad that he was losing his reelection campaign as governor in 2016. That’s why he was willing to go from massive support of Lyin’ Ted to being VP candidate in record time.
Max
he had no home of his own and certainly didn’t know how to take care of the home of the people. g’bye, Pence.

Good luck trying to get a mortgage with no stable income. Without a job, most mortgage companies won’t lend to you. I know.
hoosier1969
He is independently wealthy. His family owned a chain of gas stations that they sold for massive profit. Then they let the state and Federal government pay for all the environmental clean up of each one. He is scum. Rich scum that can afford to pay cash for a house.

He gets a pension just like the president. That’s as reliable as the rest of the country can be.

Why do they need to couch surf?
Can’t they just, you know, live at a nice hotel for awhile. Oh, I’m sorry they’ve been used to free accommodations for years.

Awww, that’s a shame. Perhaps Mike and Karen aren’t praying hard enough to God. Or… perhaps they ARE praying hard and God is simply trying to send them a message…

boohoo

As VP, his gross salary/year was at least $230K. Presuming he paid 27.32% in taxes ($62,836), his net would be $167,164. Having no major personal expenses for four years means he should have stockpiled $668,655–a tidy enough sum to spend renting a furnished apartment or buying a modest house in his preferred retirement community. I hope his “friends” are smart enough to send him a weekly or monthly bill.

EXACTLY…I agreee with you 100%

I thought Mother was employed at that christianist school…..
Essie
Did she teach while Ms. VP? If they move back to Klan country, I’m sure there are plenty of good Christian schools where she can teach. The pay is probably not enough to keep them in a mansion but I’m sure they will survive.

He hopped in the bed with the radioactive treasonous fascist psychopath Don the Con and eagerly propped him up for four years, so what did he expect would happen?
Maybe he and Mother can atone for their behavior and be gifted with a tiny home somewhere and witness protection identities so that Don the Q-on’s q-razy followers can’t find them, though I doubt that’s going to happen.

Why do we even care about this F UCKING A SS HOLE??? He can eat S HIT for all I care.

So where did they live BEFORE the Indiana Governors Mansion?
hoosier1969
Comeblowus, IN….I mean…Columbus, IN. Assuming in a house.

Is it ok to call a mother-and-son a “couple”? Lol
cuteguy
Aren’t there Daddy Son relationships that you know of?

People should take this as a lesson . . . never fall for a sociopath and expect a bright future. Pence will be lucky to get a job as a middle manager at his local Walmart.

I suspect God personally told him he would get two terms and then cruise into the white house with “mother” for a cozy four years as pres.
Then after the election God told him he was just joking, but “the Lord will provide”. Unfortunately His text message from heaven accidentally left out the full message”…provide appropriate comeuppance for being a hypocrite and bearing false witness”.
Bjarne Henriksen
Faaaaaaack, that’s funny!
BrokebackBob
Please God keep him away from Indiana where I live. We all hate him. Can’t he go live someplace near Karen’s family after all it’s his mother. I’m not a big prayer but when I do I pray for things that are super important and it’s really important that we keep him away from Indiana.
okbye
Is that poor woman who had a miscarriage still in prison?
He doesn’t need to be anywhere near anyone’s government.
hoosier1969
Please stay in Indiana! Your policies were the final straw that drove me away from my home state in 2015. Y’all deserve each other. However, my hometown does not deserve to continue to have your bro as US Representative!

Who let the work experience kid write this article? Graham Gremore, back to school to learn English my friend.

I agree. This whole article is inaccurate. This is from an online article, “”I’ve already promised Karen will be moving back to Indiana come this summer.” Pence said, offering no details about where in Indiana they might land. “There’s no place like home.” So there does seem to be a plan somewhat in place.
If he is staying at a friend’s cabin and a couple days at his brother’s house, then I’m assuming he’s just relaxing before figuring out what to do next.
And before anyone screams… I’m not a Trump fan, I don’t like Mike Pence, I’m just poining out how poorly this article was written.

Good point Monkey. To be a website with “No agenda, except that gay one”, they can certainly have an agenda at times.

@Monkey1 @Openminded
LOL!!!!! Wow, you JUST got exposed for posting under multiple screenames to support your defense of Republicans. You’ve done it under these screenames and Roy Ajax.
I mean at least give it a FEW days before you do the exact same thing again! LOL!!!!
barryaksarben
He should stay where he will feel comfortable – a bathhouse under an assumed name although it may be hard to sneak mother in with him. As most homophobes on the downlow he needs to keep attacking gays so people wont look under his skirt. Im sure some of the gop will make sure he is given enough illegal kickbacks that a home will be no problem before they run him for president in 4 years. They have no shame or soul
Tombear
Pence has ruined his political career being involved with Trump as have all the others who worked for the orange turd. Seriously. Would you want somebody who worked for Trump in your company?
Celtic
If I lived in Indiana I would start a crusade to prevent Pence from returning. I hope this ill-fated, hate-filled queer in denial suffers miserably for the rest of his entire life. And, yes, I am being quite serious.
