Back in the 1960s, the blustery 36th President held tight reins over many of his subservient Democrats, including his Vice President, Hubert Horatio Humphrey, formerly a liberal Senator from Minnesota. Hubert was aiming to eventually run for the Presidency, and to do so; he would have to remain a loyal lap dog to President Lyndon Baines Johnson.
The November 1966 front cover of Esquire magazine depicted Hubert as a
dummy on LBJ’s knee, being manipulated by Lyndon the ventriloquist.
In 2017, a bombastic President tightly holds
the reins over his frightened Republican elected officials, including his Vice
President, Michael Richard Pence, who was raised in Columbus, Indiana. On his
Wikipedia page, Pence affirmed that he was a Christian, conservative, and a
Republican, in that order. He will probably acquiesce and vote for a name
change to his birthplace if his boss says so. There are nineteen other locales
nationally that incorporate the name Columbus, in one form or another.
Pence will have to prioritize his options
concerning his eventual bid to become the nation’s next president, based on
what happens to his puppeteer or ventriloquist, namely DJT.
Please see the final paragraph regarding
Michael’s options.
Pence, the former governor of
the grate state of Indiana, was assigned the task of attending the October 8th
Indianapolis Colts home football game against the “rebellious” San Francisco
49ers. He knew that some of the 49ers might not stand at attention during the
playing of the National Anthem, as did his boss.
Pence had flown in from Las
Vegas at an estimated cost of $100,000, and then after quickly exiting before
the game began as part of the planned publicity stunt, he flew to Los Angeles
at a cost of $142,500, to attend a Republican fundraiser. That’s a total cost
of $242,500 that will be paid for by American taxpayers.
A PUPPET OR A DUMMY
It’s encouraging to know that
Pence and Trump are working together to make America grate again, as the veep
proudly boasted.
"I left today's Colts game because President Trump and I will not
dignify any event that disrespects our soldiers, our Flag, or our National
Anthem," Pence wrote
on Twitter.
While Colts players stood arm-in-arm at their
home game in Indianapolis, more than 20 of the San Francisco 49ers players
knelt during the anthem, as they have for weeks. It was a move that should not
have shocked Pence, an Indiana native, whose face clearly demonstrated his
disapproval of the action on the field.
"While everyone is entitled to their own
opinions, I don't think it's too much to ask NFL players to respect the Flag
and our National Anthem," Pence tweeted. "I stand with President
Trump, I stand with our soldiers, and I will always stand for our Flag and our
National Anthem."
Trump took credit for the departure of Pence
and his wife from the stadium in a later tweet, saying, "I asked @VP Pence
to leave stadium if any players kneeled, disrespecting our country. I am proud
of him and @SecondLady Karen."
All true Americans are proud of our Second
Lady, and I have been unable to find anyone against our soldiers. Those in the
Executive Branch seem to be the ones attempting to divide our country even more
so, by perpetuating this nonsensical thinking to appeal to their base.
If You Are
Waiting
For President
Pence
You will have
to be patient, since as of Saturday, October 28th; there will be
1,103 days until the next presidential election on November 3, 2020.
The 46th
President won’t take office until January 20, 2021. The only way Michael
Richard Pence could
become President any sooner, would be if (1) Donald J. Trump resigns from
office because of boredom, (2) resigns from office after being severely
criticized while receiving a salary of only $ 400,000 a year, (3) resigns from
office because he wants even more time to play golf at his various courses, (4)
or is impeached for conduct unbecoming a President. There are probably other
ways Trump could leave office earlier than planned, but I will let others
figure them out, for I am not an expert on the subject, nor do I want to become
one. There's enough confusion emanating from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and the golf courses, as it is.
