Some folks are going to be shocked.
“I had an office in the WW, & found myself BACK & FORTH FROM MY OFFICE TO THE OVAL OFFICE on a regular basis….WE HAD A VERY SUCCESSFUL RELATIONSHIP, that OBVIOUSLY didn’t end well.”
“I’ll always believe I DID MY DUTY on that tragic day, UNDER THE CONSTITUTION & THE LAWS of this country. In the aftermath of those difficult days, THE PRESIDENT & I DID SIT DOWN— WE TALKED THROUGH IT.”
“We parted amicably, & SPOKE A NUMBER OF TIMES AFTER I LEFT OFFICE. Frankly, when the President RETURNED TO SOME OF THE RHETORIC ABOUT ME & others who had taken a stand for the Constitution, I THOUGHT IT WAS BEST we just go our SEPARATE ways.”
“THE FOUNDATION OF OUR ABILITY TO PART AMICABLY CAME FROM THAT RELATIONSHIP THAT WAS FORGED IN THOSE FOUR YEARS.”
“And I will always be proud of the record of the Trump/Pence Administration, & WHAT WE WERE ABLE TO DO FOR THIS COUNTRY.”
During theiradministration, ever hear of a single disagreement? Report of Trump/Pence drama??
No leaks.
THEY are strategically leaking a narrative.
Pence threw Flynn under the bus. Why?
One “story” is that Pence & Ryan (possibly Rosenstein too) wanted to get rid of Trump so Pence could be POTUS. Thing is Ryan wanted it too. They had a little round & didn’t try. It’s in print online if you look enough. As well as other “things” about Pence. I do not know if true. Just what I read.
You not only had a duty but an obligation based on your oath of office to carry out the orders of the President of the United States (Commander-In-Chief). Your alternative duty was to resign immediately if you were unable to carry out those orders. Instead you decided to falsely pretend to carry them out then stab the President in the back at the exact moment you were to execute those orders.
I may have to eat my words, but I believe the “discord” between President Trump & Pence, with a side of General Flynn, is kayfabe. No leaks? SCIF planning? If discord ensued within the WH between the President & VP…there’s bound to be a National Inquirer reader with loose lips. Trumps Presidency was not just another four year election…think outside the box–5-D chess….”The Art of War” (Sun Zu). Nothing is as it seems…NCSWIC!
“Be extremely subtle even to the point of formlessness. Be extremely mysterious even to the point of soundlessness. Thereby you can be the director of the opponent’s fate.”
― Sun Tzu, The Art of War
Pence clearly hates Trump with a passion.
Pence spoke at Hillsdale College graduation a few years ago and my son could NOT believe how robotic and impassionate that man was. Everybody hated the phony speech given with the warmth of an aluminum drone.
“Kayfabe” seems to be a simple way of explaining inconvenient happenings that don’t fit the narrative of having everything in a “plan” figured out.
Et tu, Mikey?
Apparently so. Very disappointing but give me TRUTH any day over hopium.
I can handle it much better than fantasizing about unicorn possibilities.
“I can make Trump mine: drink the hopey wine
Any time, night or day;
Only trouble is – Gee Whiz –
I’m dreamin my life away…”
