  1. How in the world does spineless Mike Pence stand upright without a backbone defies all Laws of Gravity and its beyond me?

    1. and i agree wholeheartedly he is like an object floating around in a windstorm wondering where he is going to land.

    1. @Joe Cancer and you are ???? You never have a comment to the topic. Just to people commenting. You have shown – for a very long time now – which category your iq belongs to.

    2. Trump no longer has Executive Privelege – he’s a former Pres, just an ordinary citizen, (if you can call Tiny Fingers ‘ordinary’. 😉 ).

  2. Should be required by law to testify. Nobody who swears an oath to serve the country should be allowed to plead the fifth, and therefore hinder an investigation into serious crimes

    1. it is absolutely baffling the laws of the land are soo weak that they appear they tend to protect the accused and all the same time go after the accused. no wonder there are so many accused who are taking advantage of the double standards that the laws.

    2. @herman love / The law makers apply the laws for the citizens. Since most of them are lawyers, they can also apply, or not apply the laws for themselves. Most politicians are taking money from pharmaceutical companies, oil companies, gun advocates and so on. That way, nothing will change. Biden says energy costs are coming down. Maybe he means somewhere other than the U.S.. Electric has doubled in cost, gas is $4/gal, and fuel oil is through the roof.

    3. Repent and believe in Jesus. John 3:16 -KJV – For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
      Luke 13:3 KJV – I tell you nay: but except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
      John 3:3 KJV – “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

    1. It is firstly quite wrong to have to register for a particular Party! The important thing is to simply register as a Voter! Like everywhere else in the World!

    2. @Marlene Crosby You just invented it right? Something that subjective ain’t common sense or just say that the fact that at least 40% of your countrymen don’t agree with you makes them stupid.

    1. THEN HE’LL BE WHINING ABOUT THAT TOO BUT THEN PRETEND HE WAS GONNA TALK THE WHOLE TIME JUST LIKE HE PRETENDED TO BE ABOUT A PEACEFUL TRANSFER OF POWER WHEN OTHERS TESTIFIED THAT HE ASKED THEM HOW HE COULD OBEY TRUMP’S WISHES TO HAVE THE ELECTION RESULTS OVERTURNED!!😏

    2. What do you morons think is going to happen? Pence has some magic trick that will stop Trump from running? The Media is the Enemy of the people, and you are feeding them

    3. the invite should have been written on the back of a subpoena – these are criminals one a traitor and the other obstructing and investigation no need to cater to them.

  3. Why would Pence testify against Trump?! I mean, Trump only tried to motivate people to endanger his life! Even so, Pence strikes me as being a spineless person. Who knows?! Am so tired of the CIRCUS we’ve been living in since 2016!

    1. Cmon the nazi party is always party first, how many of them have publicly state he was a criminal then said if he was the republiclown nominee they would vote for him. Dont be confused these are not normal decent people.

    2. that’s a very comprehensive answer it has something to do with the laws of the land and a good lawyer will always take advantage of them and challenge them.

    3. As long as Florida man breaths it will continue I suspect and maybe even longer b/c of the RED brigade of anti-democracy semi-fascists.

  4. Pence should do the right thing and testify – he has not got a snowball’s chance in hell
    of winning the nomination for his party-

    1. 45 shouldn’t have a chance either, yet that pos announced he’s running for president. What is wrong with our country?

    2. @Ann Conforti too many “male, pale and stale” think they know better for no other reason than their gender, skin color and age.

  5. Why are politicians and journalist immune from having to report a crime when they witness or have good suspicions of a crime being plotted/committed? You don’t get to be bystanders and profiteers of criminal events in America unless you renounce your citizenship.

  6. These complicit politicians act like they have a choice of whether or not they can be subpoenaed by the DOJ. Such arrogance and ignorance 😡

    1. @Jo Sm And if you’re talking about taking sides. The Republicans that left that Trump Crap behind left the party for a reason. Liz Cheney was the only Republican with a backbone. Others have spoke up.

  7. If someone isn’t willing to testify for a criminal case, they should be disqualified for running for any public offices.

    1. it should only be an ivite written on the back of a subpeona, thats what anyone else would recieve, thus far all claims of ex privalege have been struck down by the courts

    2. But that would make sense. Law makers don’t use logic for anything. They use self – interests as deciders on all issues. Will the Forward party be different?

  8. When I was arrested years ago, what I did for a living wasn’t an issue. It was never even mentioned. Why does it matter what Trump or Pence does either? One broke the law, the other was a witness to the crime. Easy peasy , lock em up and throw away the keysey .

    1. @John Bob Did you just come out of a Coma ? It’s not my job to keep you posted on current events, just stay in your Maga mindf@ck and deny deny deny , when you blow your nose can you smell Trump’s 💩 ? ( Say hi to your brother Billy )

    2. @David Bullis What a waste of a comment, I’m waiting for you to add a single bit of substance but I know you never will. Not once have i denied anything. You on the other hand continue to deny anything and everything. Quit with the insults and show some proof of your outlandish claims, otherwise you’re just an uneducated child having a temper tantrum.

    3. @John Bob I’ve answered more than 20 of the deniers already, bro, the documents he STOLE , tax evasion, fraudulent vote theft, RAPE , pull your head out of your arse and read a fricking newspaper, or can’t you read ? And on, and on …if you keep saying it, it doesn’t make it true

  9. “I don’t know if President Trump and I will ever see eye to eye on whether I should be hanged.”
    — Mike Pence (paraphrasing slightly)

    1. the difference with that assessment is that you and Donald Trump are vastly two different individuals Donald Trump with no moral compass, and you with just no courage. Either one of you is a danger at being a leader.

    1. @Billy Goat disingenuous question ✔️ noted

      The RW commenters playbook:
      mocking emojis, gotcha memes, edgy insults, deflection, dismissive feigned boredom or ignorance, disingenuous questions, projection, ad hominems, gaslighting, playing the victim, strawman arguments, conspiracy theories, false equivalence, whataboutism, racist dog whistles, willful ignorance, lies, scare thetactics, threats of civil war.

      Anything to avoid presenting an honest argument.

    2. Maggie is such a strait shooter. She is the poster girl for those aspiring to pursue journalism as a truly important and honorable profession.

    1. What? Why are u applauding her for doing her job? Reporters are not superstars. Lets stop treating them as such.

  10. Maggie Haberman is an outstanding journalist, well informed, insightful, rational, well reasoned and a person with integrity.

  11. Maggie Haberman has a serene, and calming voice. It always sets the tone for an enlightened conversation, and elevates the mood for her thoughtfully reasoned and stated opinions. It’s pleasure to listen to her. For all I know she might be a riveting speaker about the advantages of listening to her hundreds of CDs over other vocal transmissions. Thanks!

    1. She’s also the NYT reporter that raked HRC over the coals for the ‘irresponsible’ behavior of the infamous emails on insecure server (at home office). Not letting readers know that the previous 2 Sec of State (both Repubs), openly acknowledged doing the same thing….

  12. This will be interesting. He is known to dodge direct questions put to him. I also find it interesting how he has kept quiet given the fact that his former boss was responsible for him almost getting killed on 1/6. We shall see.

    1. anyone with a grain of courage or self-respect would welcome the opportunity to unveil the danger that his boss tried to put him in and even then he had to enlist the help of a former party member to lean on just to have the courage to do the right thing. this is a person who is extremely weak, and not to depend on.
