Just before the Capitol riot.

Then-President Donald Trump angrily insulted Vice President Mike Pence during a “pretty heated” phone call shortly before the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol — calling him a “WIMP” and the “p-word,”(PUSSY) according to witness accounts made public Thursday.

In a clip from a videotaped deposition shown by the House select committee on Jan. 6, former first daughter Ivanka Trump said she was taken aback while listening to her dad berate his No. 2.

“The conversation was pretty heated,” she said.

“‘It was a different tone than I heard him take with the vice president before.”

Other segments revealed former Trump assistant Nicholas Luna saying that Trump called Pence a “wimp” and Julie Radford, Ivanka’s former chief of staff, Trump called him “the p-word” (PUSSY)

Sounds like Trump. But we should want the toughest, strongest players leading team USA.

But we should want the toughest, strongest players leading team USA.


True.

Assuming they're not despot wannabes, dictator wannabes, autocracy proponents, or a just plain BSC racist grifter willing to sellout Team USA to Russia for personal profit.

That rules out 45* on its face.

So if we have to sacrifice some toughness and strength to preserve democracy instead of trusting some idiot and his cronies and idiot supporters who are intent on destroying in, that's ok by me.

If we allow 45* to destroy democracy, then there's really no Team USA.

I am that Masked Man.

All you can do, is all you can do.

There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.

I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.

We are a government of laws, not men.

Everybody counts or nobody counts.

When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.

You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.

There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.

We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive

An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.

You make me pull, I'll put you down.

I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.

Like these guys?

“ If we allow 45* to destroy democracy, then there's really no Team USA.”

And he’s guaranteed to do it.

I do not want a president who cannot control his actions or the words coming out of his mouth. Trump demonstrated over and over that he was not in control of himself at all.

OK. It’s pretty basic stuff, but I posted it because I think perhaps there are those who are ignorant of the facts.

I prefer that our elected leaders follow the law. Comandante Bone-spurs never cared about the law.

Pence should sue Trump for creating a hostile work environment.
