The
(Remora in the Whitehouse)
I
am posting this in its entirety because it is about time someone nailed him in
print!

If
you're going to fault Vice President Mike Generic-Brand Mayonnaise Substitute
Pence for something, and I heartily recommend you do, you could fault him for
his grinning advocacy for religious rule in the United States. You could
fault him for his dull, uninspired promotion of conservative economic theories
that had proven ineffective before Mike Pence ever found his way to office, or
his thoroughly generic battles against the working class of his state, and the
poor, and the usual enemies of Republican thought.
You could do that. But consider, instead, faulting him for
being such a pathetic person as to blindly follow Donald Trump, a true garbage
fire of a man, by regurgitating whatever lies Donald Trump wants regurgitated.
Mike Pence is truly a liar's lapdog, and
that
is about as low as a person can sink. https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2017/11/30/1719188/-A-shoutout-for-Vice-President-Mike-Pence-the-dull-eyed-liar-s-lapdog
During
a speech at the Tax Foundation’s annual dinner, Pence made a claim that tops
them all. After rattling off a series of Trump’s initiatives to “get the
economy moving again,” Pence declared, “There are more Americans working today
than ever before in American history.”
Because
the population is greater. That's it. The workforce is greater than it was in
1980 or in 1860 or in 1692 because There. Are. More. People. Now. Mike Pence is
willingly repeating one of the hoariest economic dodges in political rhetoric—a
claim usually made by political hacks who are absolutely, positively convinced
their audience is made up of morons.
Given
that Pence made his bold pronouncement at a Tax
Foundation dinner, well, there ya go.
Anyhoo,
the Washington Post's fact-checking team
weighed into this. They are unimpressed with Pence.
