  • yeah, he hates trump, but he loves the GOP, and hurting Trump hurts the GOP.

    and while I don’t think he’d hurt the prosecution, I have serious doubts as to how much he’d actually help them.

  • this is my take on what’s happening with him now: it’s political posturing. he knows he’s likely to be called at least for a deposition, and he’s getting in front of the media coverage by offering, or, at least, by saying he’d be cooperative. now, to a public audience, that can mean whatever we want it to mean, and to his base, that means he’s an angel who did nothing wrong, a patriot deserving of their vote. because he’s a law-abiding victim!

    to the discerning listener, it’s a cover-his-ass declaration meaning nothing much now and whatever he wants it to mean later, especially if he changes his mind, as the legal and media landscape remains fluid between now and then. what will actually transpire? we’ll have to wait and see.

  • refusing to break the law wasn’t a pious act— he just didn’t want to face the consequences. I think he might have if he thought he could get away with it. I just don’t think he’s as stupid or delusional as Trump, et al.

  • but I am sure that he will testify truthfully.

    I never said that I expect he’d commit perjury

  • his displayed pattern of behavior for the past several decades has been a hateful, self-serving scumbag. why would that suddenly change now?

  • he has a very high chance of dying quite soon, so there’s that!

  • he says that now… when the time comes, however, exactly what will his “compliance” look like?

    sure, I believe he’d show up, but I also believe he’ll give mostly equivocations, pleas to the 5th, non-remembrances, and non-answer answers that mostly cover his own ass and deflect blame from the GOP than testimony that would give any real insight into or damning evidence against Trump or his co-conspirators.

    If Pence had any desire to serve justice, he would have done so long, long ago.

  • you may respond by writing, in as much detail as you like, in what way you believe this is my problem. I promise to downvote it.

  • it’s not my job to educate random internet strangers. have some self-respect and make an effort to educate yourself.

    have a nice day.

  • marriage equality, for one. he actively advocates for laws banning it, and advocates for laws banning LGBTQ equality in other ways, advocating for laws limiting/eliminating LGBTQ equality, often donating money for the purpose and to politicians who support such measures.

    but if you can’t make the effort to inform yourself of at least the topic under discussion, then don’t expect others to do it for you before jumping into a conversation. that’s just rude.

  • which is something he advocates, notably the legislation of the ban of marriage equality.

  • at least he respects democracy.

    bigotry and hate are not compatible with democracy, a cornerstone of which is equality

  • I find the idea of giving Pence one iota of credit for any of that to be profane in the extreme, but if it turns out to be true… ugh… I suppose I would have to. I also don’t believe his motivations would have been anything other than self-serving.

    still, gross. he’s such a terrible person.

  • "the intolerable abuse of not letting me be a fascist dictator!"

  • he won’t even pay his rent or his own legal bills… he stiffs his own employees on severance packages. he’s lying if he promises anything.

  • don’t be fooled— there’s purrder in those eyes!
