Profiles In Cowardice

The Pence Is Mightier Than…The Marshmallow (Maybe)

November 18, 2022

In his long uncared-for new book ex-vice president and very-nearly-dead Pence said of Trump, “For four years, we had a close working relationship*. It did not end well.” It certainly ended a heck of a lot better than Trump and his Hang-Mike-Pence-chanting mob was hoping.

Lily-livered loser and would-be gallows guest-of-honor Mike Pence briefly stood up on his hind legs to call out his former boss. Having repeatedly come out of his hole determined to stand up to the man who wanted him hanged outside the Capitol on January 6, 2021, only to scurry back into the safe confines of his wife's skirt after being frightened by his own shadow.

Fun Fact: Mike Pence who is whiter than a marshmallow and translucent, is the only living creature to cast a white shadow.  

Now that it appears his former owner/nemesis has lost his orange glow in the eyes of many, Pence felt it might be safe to peek his head back out and bravely hurl a few quasi-harsh words of rebuke, just shy of two years after Trump threw White Mike to the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers and other assorted homicidal nitwits.

Hey Mike, remember when you were running for your life? Remember how you refused to get in the limo with Secret Service agents you didn’t know because you thought they might whisk you off to a secret undisclosed final resting place? Remember why that was?

As if Pence was not pathetic enough already, he has once again rebuffed the Jan 6 Committee’s request for his testicles…I mean testimony (he clearly has no testicles). Obviously, few people are in a position to provide first-hand information about the goings on perpetrated by Trump and his not-so-merry-murderous-misfits. The self-proclaimed Bible-thumping patriot, do-gooder and delusional presidential hopeful Pence told an interviewer that “Congress has no right to my testimony.” He might want to have another peek at the Constitution – to understand it, not to disrespect it.

I guess Don and Mike won’t be reviving their old act in ‘24

Speaking Of Sniveling Weasels…

Meanwhile, Pence's ex is busy with his own Profile In Cowardice. Trump has abandoned for the moment his more familiar Profile in Carnage as he is desperately trying to hide from his own shadow. Which is the shadow of innumerable crimes against a number of women, the state of New York, the state of Georgia, democracy, the Constitution, national security, and humanity. Most recently, Trump has taken to defying a congressional subpoena to testify about his words and deeds on that same January day when he hoped to see Mike Pence hanging from a crudely-constructed gallows, erected by people about whom Trump later said, “You're special. We love you.” Words he surely never said to Mike Pence. 

Trump is also trying to run away from all the loser candidates he told to run. And running is clearly not Donald’s strong suit. But it sure is fun to watch.
