Mike Braun needs an intervention

Somebody needs to shake some sense into Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN) before he makes a laughstock of himself January 6.

There's no need to curry favor with the soon-to-be-irrelevant president, and Braun will just look like a fool...a seditious fool who hasn't read the U.S. Constitution.

As CNN put it, "the objection from President Donald Trump's Republican allies has virtually zero chance of changing the election outcome, only to delay for a few hours the inevitable affirmation of Biden's victory as the Electoral College winner and the next president."

The end is nigh. "It’s time for Mike Pence to choose: Trump, or the truth," headlines the Washington Post.

"The vice president can either facilitate President-elect Joe Biden’s victory, or he can resist it. Which he chooses will either help or hinder the Republican Party’s recovery from the electoral denialism that afflicts three-fourths of its voters," writes Edward B. Foley on December 22, 2020.

"Although the vice president may want to use his role then [January 6] to further prove his persistent loyalty to Trump, doing so would exacerbate the horrific damage that Trump has done to the Republican Party and the entire country by his assault on the truth of his defeat."

Listen Up, Pence! Mutz Won't Vote for Trump!

From today's IBJ.com, "John Mutz is one of the most prominent Republicans in the state of Indiana. He was lieutenant governor under Gov. Robert Orr from 1980-1988, and he served in the Legislature for 13 years before that. In his 40 additional years as a corporate CEO, entrepreneur and civic leader, Mutz has never voted for a Democrat for president. But he says that he cannot in good conscience vote for President Trump in November. This is not a repudiation of Republican ideals, he says, but rather the result of a harsh evaluation of the president himself. Mutz argues in IBJ’s print edition today that Trump is a threat to our democratic republic form of government and could push the country toward authoritarianism. With his op-ed column, Mutz becomes the most prominent Indiana Republican to publicly rebuke Trump."

Mike Pence is a ‘megaphone for disinformation campaign’ against coronavirus

Just when you think Pence can't stoop any lower....

Pence Refused Entry to Iceland

Reykjavik, Iceland – Icelandic officials prevented Vice President Mike Pence from entering their country today [January 7, 2019]. Law enforcement informed the Vice President and his team they were following the recent law protecting the populace from religious fanatics.

In 2017 Iceland’s parliament passed a Southern Baptist travel ban. The article Atheist Iceland Issues A Travel Ban Against White Southern Baptists helps explain the reasoning behind the law:

“Four out of five white evangelicals voted for Trump in last year’s election,” explained Professor Andrew Kannard of the Icelandic Institute. “The government doesn’t have an encyclopedic knowledge of all the sects that comprise evangelicism in the States. They just decided to start with the most toxic group.”

There are 330,000 people living in Iceland. An overwhelming majority support the travel ban against white Southern Baptists. The country has deep roots in democracy. The nation is credited with having the first parliament back in 930. The public takes the Trump’s administration jihad against voting rights, science, and anti-environmentalism seriously.

When asked how long the ban will last President Lars Bork quipped, “I don’t know. We have to take the time to figure this thing out.”

Many in Iceland view Pence’s attempted trip to the island nation as a way to test the waters and see how serious the government is in keeping out religious fanatics. “The Americans just learned we mean business,” one anonymous Icelander stated. “Those people can’t even keep their own government running. What makes them think they can come over here and preach to us?”

Insiders report Vice President Pence never got off his plane. An irritated Pence vowed to drown the country in Chik-fil-A wrappers, American made cars that don’t work, and MAGA hats.

Icelanders aren’t taking the threats seriously. Most are waiting until 2020 and hoping the Democrats don’t mess things up again.
