Pence makes my skin crawl.

I know it's not nice. I should know better, and I'm sure there are plenty of people that I've met that can say the same for me. But, Pence is a public figure, is impacting my life, and is second in command. So, I make judgments.

The guy is like a ghoul. He seems like a reanimated corpse. Honestly, he is devoid of any warmth in his eyes or his face. I watched him on TV today, and his neck inside his shirt seemed detached. Put him in a Nazi uniform, and he could play one without effort.

I am not encouraged at all. And, I remember the shocked look on his face at the presser where he was named the man to run the fight against Corona. That said it all.

I beg to differ. Have you seen the love, passion, and orgasmic stare when he is standing behind the Slug at this lie filled media worship ceremonies? Never looks away, counting each carefully placed frontal lobe hair strand sweeping to the back of that chicken packed neck. Mother has to bleach his skivies after each one of those. She loves them, cause she does not have to Lay lifeless under his creepy ass for another passionless sex session while praying for forgiveness for non child producing fornication episodes that last what seems hours for 2 minutes.

They scream In Harmony at orgasm, "Jews will not replace us". You know the Miller family has some skin crawling having to be lesser humans than the Kushner dou in trumps eyes. Those Jews have certainly replaced you in the chain of command.

He'd do it here also if he could. Remember that young woman his IN justice department railroaded into a 30-year prison term on claims of murdering her unborn baby, warping laws and making up facts and definitions to do it? The courts reversed it and she was eventually released -- a couple years later.

A higher court had to save her from his religious extremism, after a couple years in prison.

If we had impeached earlier like 2017-2018, and trump had a great VP, things might have been way different.

As it turned out, they didn't have time to find a superstar and didn't want to fight pence.

who also happens to be a thrall to the evilest President in American history. Every creepy vibe that you get from Pence has been well earned. To put Pence, an authoritarian worshipping, drooling moron, in charge of something as important as the COVID-19 threat is the equivalent of putting Inspector Clouseau in charge of nuclear weapons. This will not end well.

What part of the brain causes this in Democrat’s but enable republicans to adore them?

I mean, I didn’t like Bush junior, but I didn’t find him creepy or repulsive to look at. Or John McCain. Even Sarah palin. She’s vile, but not visually repulsive.

I just read an analysis of Pence's body language and facial expressions when he visited a "detention facility" in McAllen, Texas last year.
The 'take-away' for me was the complete lack of eye contact, which dramatically facilitates dehumanization. I learned a lot about this man's core personality from these experts.

unforgivable or at least thinks he has. He knows all about being saved and he just missed the cut by thiiiiiiiiis much.

He's going to try to save his soul by compelling others to live to a standard he himself thinks he's missed the boat with.

He scares me every bit as much as Trumpsky. I get a feeling our next Constitutional crisis will be about the Orange Shitgibbon trying to declare military law over coronavirus and low oil prices.

What if a President "gawd talks to me" Pence were in charge??? Vice President "smokem if you gottem" Pence is scary enough.
