'Leave me alone': Mike Pence's wife reportedly refused to kiss him after Trump w

It’s an oldie but a goodie. From 2018

Snip:

Michael Lewis, the author of "Moneyball" and "The Big Short," wrote in an article in The Guardian published Thursday that Vice President Mike Pence's wife, Karen Pence, was less than pleased with President Donald Trump's victory in the moments after he won the 2016 election.

Lewis wrote that after Trump won, the vice president tried to kiss his wife, who turned away and said: "You got what you wanted, Mike. Now leave me alone."

Lewis' article centers on the problems Trump had with his transition team but contains behind-the-scenes stories from the election night.
Lewis also said Trump sat staring at the TV in disbelief when he saw he'd won.

media and others that enabled Trump. Social media included and why it took twitter and others so long to ban him.

I know the focus will have to be on dealing with the pandemic and helping people financially in the beginning so we need to support Biden and other democrats in doing that.

But we will need to get into all the other things.

Easy - Moscow Mitch controlled the Senate and sat on everything that would slow BunkerBoy down.

But we won the Senate back (thank you Georgia!!) and dont'cha know - everybody finds Jesus when the noose is being lowered onto their neck.

These media whores have been making money for the last 4 years by allowing conspiracycrap to be spewed onto their sites, but the tide has turned.

We won the Senate, and these flying monkeys are throwing an 11th hour Hail Mary in order to appear rightious. (Not sure if I spelled that last word correctly, but you get my drift. )
