This is what Trump stated on January 6 AFTER Trump had been told that Pence and his family had been rescued!!! Then, Trump continued to do NOTHING to defend OUR CONGRESSMEN!! Link -> Trump warned
Par for the course. He tried to bully Pence beforehand. Trump Reportedly Bullied Pence: You Can Be a Patriot ‘or a P*ssy’ https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-reportedly-bullied-pence-you-can-be-a-patriot-or-a-*****
This post got moved here from "current events". I STRONGLY object. This post included ZERO opinion. And, it addresses a central issue in the impeachment that was taking place at the time I posted it and which continues today. I SPECIFICALLY left out anything that is opinion OR belief to ensure that it qualified by the FACT that it is a current event - both in that the impeachment is a current event AND that this particular FACT is a current event in the impeachment.
Mike Pence was fulfilling his oath of office and performing the duty of his office as required,he was not elected to buckle and submit to every illegal act Dirty Donald wanted from him.
This is how Trump treats someone who is supposed to be his friend. Yet another example of Trump acting like an A hole.
In reference to the electoral votes that were submitted to Congress...... Trump; “All Mike Pence has to do is send them back to the States, AND WE WIN. Do it Mike, this is a time for extreme courage!” “If Vice President Pence comes through for us, we will win the Presidency,” ------------------ IQ question; Does the Vice President has the power to send them back to the States? Well, I'm above-average intelligent, therefore, the answer is a definite NO.

Every congressman has to face the FACT that Trump didn't give a CRAP for their lives. He didn't even give a crap for the lives of Pence and his family!!! Now, Republicans plan to make this behavior TOTALLY LEGIT for any American president to do. We are losing America.
I guess Pence had to learn the hard way that the more you kiss Trump's a$$, the less he respects you. It's incredible that all those GOP congressmen, despite claiming to be for freedom, voluntarily subject themselves to play subservient doormats to king Trump. They are just so easily accepting serfdom. And they are grown up men, supposed to be leaders, who have sworn an oath to the constitution and to America, not to one man.
Trump is about the most toxic POS I can recall even hearing of in American Politics, bar none. The level of fawning subservience displayed by the Trumper Republicans in Congress is about the most disgusting thing I can recall seeing in American History. Even the defenders of slavery had some sort of "moral/philosophical" basis for their atrocities. The ONLY thing these moral cesspools have to explain their continued betrayal of their country and constituencies is the fact that they want to keep their jobs. We HAVE to get rid of gerrymandering in this country.
