Reminds me of a video from either last year or ten years ago where Pence gives a rah rah USA speech overseas, pauses for applause, and is met with deafening silence

Edit: here we go, all in the first minute

Went in for a colonoscopy and egd this morning, they wheel me into the room and the anaesthesiologist is telling the gastroenterologist about going to a Trump rally and watching air Force one and two fly in.

FML abort mission.

But I thought your witnesses couldn’t talk due to “National Security” considerations? :thinking:

Hmm. I hate a conspiracy theory… But let’s go through the things we know

  1. The GOP and the administration is filled with incompetent, older, rich white dudes.
  2. This demographic is naive about technology, privacy, security
  3. We know they are gross people who have all sorts of skeletons.
  4. We KNOW that hostile actors are targeting these groups.
  5. We also know they have no moral courage to face down blackmail.

Is it much of a stretch to assume that large numbers of these folks are being blackmailed?

How would we know? Would you expect this to come out?

JERUSALEM — Vice President Mike Pence was caught on a hot mic Thursday telling Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, “We are contending. He’s unstoppable, like someone else I know.”

It is unclear what Pence and Netanyahu were discussing or the context of the remarks captured on the microphone. The comments come as President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial takes place in the U.S. Senate and Netanyahu faces three indictments as he prepares for his third national election in a year.
