1. Putin has a transmitter implanted in his rectum. n/t

[skylucy]

2. There was a stain in the upholstery on the chair and they brought

Pence in to cover it up.

[In It to Win It]

3. You guys are reading my mine today!

Mike Pence is useless. He does not contribute to anything. He's just there. I'm certain Trump would have fired him by now if he could have.

[Demovictory9]

11. it made me uncomfortable watching him shift back and forth, looking bored and a bit scared

[Hekate]

4. Shadow President, just biding his time. Certain people think God's hand is on his shoulder...

...and that the entire purpose of Trump is to put Pence in the Oval Office.

Be afraid. And hope that Mueller takes Pence down as well.

8. I'm totally with you.

Pence for so much as 10 days would be so detrimental to the nation. Dare I say, to the world. Where Trump is just your basic garden variety selfish greedy baffoon, Pence is a true pile of evil. We dare not take out Trump while Pence waits. My opinion but it is sincere.

[Siwsan]

5. Well, he has provided us with some laughs, today

Probably the first positive contribution he's ever made to humanity.

[ECL213]

6. Silent but deadly.

I once had a manager attend a client meeting and he parked it in a corner and didn’t say a word. After the meeting the client called me and said “What the Hell was up with Helen Keller sitting in the corner?”

24. welcome to DU!

[TheCowsCameHome]

7. To keep Trump from having an asscheek on each chair.

[dameatball]

9. From the picture, I think he just wanted to see a woman's knee for the first time in 30 years.

[erronis]

17. Perfect. It will be a crash. And they are dummies.

Donnie on uppers, Pencey on downers. What a pair to represent the repuglicons!

[Vinca]

23. OMG - you're exactly right. That's it!

[C_U_L8R]

12. Sock puppet

[Corgigal]

13. Pretend Godly guy

for other pretend Godly families. Vote for us, Jesus karma.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

14. Lower maintenance. They would have to water a potted plant.

[Buckeyeblue]

15. The VP has to obligations

1. Take over if the president dies

2. President of the Senate. Which essentially means vote to break ties.

That's it.

Pence was there today in case 45 died. He didn't die. So Pence wasn't needed.

[Demovictory9]

21. i meant...what is his purpose in sitting there in the meeting

[Buckeyeblue]

22. 45 wanted to give the impression that someone had his back

He just forgot to make sure Pence's batteries were charged.

[SunSeeker]

16. To pardon Trump upon his resignation. nt

[yortsed snacilbuper]

18. to pray?

He's a religious nut.
