Only a man of true goodness and greatness would trigger so much insecurity.

for any reason and in any way, or not since we will end up with this "thing" if he does.

Don't get me wrong, I hate the Orange Squirrel.
And he is one creepy guy.

But Pence is something quite different.
Yes, that smug constant smile, the holier than thou persona, and dangerous ideology is quite scary. Maybe there is more to it, we haven't quite put our finger on it yet.

I completely agree and feel that same chilling feeling about Pence...something very dark lurks beneath that bizarre empty holier than thou look on his face and the monotone voice...

And a threat to the country, no doubt about it.

But Pence has a truly secret dark inner core.
Covered up by his hyper religious act.
Won't attend an event where alcohol is served without his wife present.
Won't dine with a woman who is not his wife.

Either all of this is just an act or he is terrified of his dark side and he needs his wife to baby sit him all the time. I think he even calls her "mother."

You just know that Pence’s head is full of some of the weirdest shit around. Remember, he can’t be responsible for his own behavior in the company of another solitary human being.

beyond belief. Deliberate, evil lies.
However, I sued banks for consumers before we had that law, and they can still be sued. It is a huge win for banks and CC companies though. It gives them an even greater advantage. This, right after Equifax and Wells Fargo. That will teach them. Good job, Pence.
Stupid Repub voters electing these MFs who get their rocks off by making them into servants. Sorry for my disgusting obscene comments...I have descended.

By a disability 5 yr ago. I'm much better, but I still can't write, which makes the fast pace of court impossible.
I'm going back to do some things next year. I've done a lot of civil rights, including sex harassment, ironically, when you were still hated by everyone. I help as I can.
In this newly descending world, there is so much to be done. Believe it or not, we probably need more lawyers.

Pace yourself. You don't have to go back to the physical demands of trial work. Your knowledge and eloquence is valuable in many contexts, such as reviewing press releases at a nonprofit. Any help is a contribution.

Pence is a very mainstream republican.

Which means he wants to hang all gay people, he is on record with that one, and he believes women are really better off if they dont vote or talk.
