Since Donald Trump is still pouting in the White House, it's fallen on toady Mike Pence to attend the international summits that Trump just skipped out on. Part of his job is to convince leaders in Myanmar to respect the rights of the free press, but...

As many have noted, Trump seems thoroughly disinterested in even performing the basics of the job as President since the midterm shellacking by Democrats. Reports are that he has become even more isolated and angry, perhaps driven by having to finally...

Mike Pence is sooooo cute! Did you catch him the other day, down in Georgia, stumping for Brian Kemp? Boy, after 2 ½ years if getting more and more insignificant in Trump’s shadow, he really let his insecurity flag fly high. He told the crowd, “Stacey...

Well, this is awkward. It turns out that the not-Jewish “rabbi” that Vice President Mike Pence invited onstage to pray for the victims of the synagogue massacre in Pittsburgh—who invoked “Jesus the Savior”—isn’t even a fake rabbi. He’s a fake, fake...

Yesterday in Michigan, Mike Pence was apparently trying to offer sympathy and prayers for Pittsburgh. At least Pence didn’t take Loren Jacobs to Pittsburgh, though maybe they just haven’t had time yet. Even as a case study in insensitvity, I think...
