It’s a tactic Pence has used in recent weeks: stay out of the spotlight and insulate himself from his boss’s election-fraud crusade, while still bolstering his own credentials.
The chair carry is more dignified than a perp walk.
I recommend using a dollie, built to receive his favorite chair, to achieve the same result with less effort. The bizarre fanfare of it might tempt him to sit down of his own accord.
there was just something about that image of him that rang so true, and it surprised me that I thought that! I guess I've seen enough of the recent whining that the victim thing is coming across so strong. It's like he'll never really be able to ge back that faux winner image he used to do. The more he complains, the more the loser brand sticks. Kind of amazing he can't see that.
During his career, Trump has combined bombast with making deals that kept him viable somehow. It is the only world he knows. He thinks the model is still viable.
Maybe they could keep him in the Basement in a comfortable room and tell him he is free to leave at any time but he can't wander around in the halls as he pleases.
#BREAKING Stakes raised in battle for US presidential palace after moderate white tribe in the troubled country's south eastern peninsula rejects proposal for far-white ruler Donald "Papa Don" Trump to live there if evicted from palace following traditional inauguration ceremony.
"Steve Scalise and 117 radical Republican House members of the "Done Done Maskoutes" militaires are stocking ammo and automatic weaponry in the White Palace to hold it hostage until Joe Biden arranges for a neutral country to which Papa Don can flee with his Stop the Steal fortune, and not be arrested, investigated or indicted for crimes against humanity."
It's still like Biden said weeks ago and everyday it becomes more true, not less. He's not at all worried because no one with any power is going to stand behind Trump staying:
"If President Trump tunes into Fox News this weekend, he may see something unexpected: a point-by-point fact-check to wild election fraud claims made by some of his favorite hosts on the network," @oliverdarcy writeshttps://t.co/h8aZqnOHsu
for the umpteenth time in four years, "25th Amendment" is trending on Twitter. But I would be remiss not to point out that this time Pence has made himself more remote from Trump as never before.
Section 4 of the 25th Amendment, though, prescribes for more time than there is until Jan. 20:
Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.
Kinda funny to imagine the same military that won't follow Trump's completely lawful orders to withdraw from Syria agreeing to declare martial law on his behalf and steal the election.
John Bolton did a CNN interview earlier today where he called the Oval Office discussion of martial law "appalling" and said Trump is "unfit for the job." pic.twitter.com/ed4WpZQsPo
When he does this routine, I always think of his promises about being able to get "the very best people" to work for him. And of course, now he's complaining that they are the very worst people. How did that happen, how did they get by such a very stable genius? He's a winner at being a victim, is that the hook that attracts?

I have mixed feelings
I would love to see Trump in a similar picture
But, I think we need to focus on a new day and the inauguration
Trump should be ignored on the 20th

It's becoming more difficult to figure out what he is ranting about:
He may actually be watching CNN?!
