Must be nice to be able to go on vacation and take a break from all the awfulness that is the current situation with COVID. Oh wait. Isn't he the head of the task force? Taking time off as things rage out of control with the virus? Thanks Mr. Pence for showing us how you really feel about this country and its people. (I don't begrudge anyone a vacation, but the timing sucks and he is definitely shirking his responsibilities. He can vacation in January) He can take a permanent vacation after that for all I care. As someone else noted, I never again want to see those beady little eyes or the sickening glazed over swooning look he always has when he looks at Trump like he truly was appointed by God. Or the devil. Pence has the charisma of a dead fish. Trust me...even ickier in person. I met him at a fundraiser at my office (in RI of all places) about 2 years before the election. There were only 30 or so people there and other than saying hello he would only speak to the men. One of my bosses, who is truly one of the nicest people I know and likes everyone, got to spend some time with him and couldn't stand him. He's not a nice man.

Y’all. I really try to stay out of these political posts, and fully admit that I am NOT the most politically savvy pea out there, but I’m really starting to get concerned/worried/anxious that the pandering to this man’s ego and his refusal to accept the results is leading down a bad road. I’m trying to listen to the calm and rational voices of y’all that do understand this better than me, but man, it’s 2020 and this year doesn’t have the best track record. And I really think he’s unhinged. How will his people ever talk him down? And will his party seriously let him continue his delusions?? I'm with you. I just saw this article and I'm having a hard time understanding how the Secretary of State would go on public record saying this. www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2020/11/10/pompeo-touts-smooth-transition-second-trump-term-after-biden-win/6236591002/I am trying to have faith, but I'm getting concerned about them really trying to find a way to overthrow the election in some shady, underhanded manner. I feel silly saying it, but as you said it's 2020 and the world is a crazy place.

Isn’t he currently touting that the new vaccine breakthrough is the ex president’s doing? He tried, but Pfizer shut that nonsense right down and clarified that they received NO federal funding for the virus.

You'd think they'd be thrilled that an actual person of faith who attends church was elected instead of the poser in office now. But then I guess Biden's religion isn't their religion so it doesn't count.
People like that are frightening and there is absolutely no reasoning with them. Their way or go to hell people is their only song.

The health dept just called. My 11 year old is covid positive. His father has a positive mono diagnosis. I’m feeling exhausted and sick today and have to wait until Thursday next week for a covid test. Meanwhile my 16 year old dd who lost last school year to mono was just starting to feel a sliver of hope that she could start xc practice this week and take the SATs tomorrow for her college apps and have something for a “sr” year is beside herself with another 14 days of quarantine... Pretty sure I’ll be telling my college age son not to come home for Thanksgiving. Covid isn’t done. I'm so sorry. I hope your test is negative and that your family is better soon. Hugs...

Just had my first casualty on Facebook. This cousin that posted this has posted transphobic remarks in the past and I’ve tried to calmly talk to her to no avail. So today: fucking bye Felicia. http://instagr.am/p/CHTpWG7g91E Well that's vile. I'm sorry.

I am crying. I am relieved. I am hopeful! YAY! I hope that the country can start healing soon. I know there's a long road ahead, but I hope that we can come together and build a better place for ALL of us. I am so very thankful to the special peas who took the time to keep us informed, who educated us and who cheered for us from all over the word. To be a total sap - I appreciate all of you.

I am so grateful for all the peas who take the time to answer questions, give us details, share their expertise. I have learned so much here over the years about a wide variety of things and I am so happy for this little place on the internet and the people who make it my online home. This is a special group of people from all over the world and it's amazing how long this relationship has gone on. I want to especially thank the peas who have gone above and beyond this year to keep us educated and informed over all the fun things that have made 2020 the epic horror show that it is. I couldn't have gotten through this election without this place.

I didn't know about these and now I really want the pink one! We have a small house and having a tree uses up valuable space. This seems perfect for us! TFS!!

So...when they are dragging him out (and we're all watching the pay-per-view as part of our patriotic duty to lower the national debt), I want to know who gets to say "Your fired!"? If they had a raffle for the chance to do it, I bet we could fund schools all across the nation to educate our children AND feed them! He is a completely narcissistic and foolish man and an embarrassment to all of us.

I my house I have a transgender and gay son. My husband cannot wrap his brain around it despite me explaining that we don’t need to understand it. It JUST IS. So the fight really centered on LGBTQ I sent him an article from the human rights commission which he refused to read. I said how can you claim to love me or my child if you won’t even discuss the issues with me. If you won’t learn. He then called Obama the n word which my son heard. I said now I’m out because I’m not raising my kids in a house that uses that word. Under any circumstance. He’s since apologized but I’m sick to my stomach today. He wants to claim ignorance on the issues but if my adult children do that, he gets mad. He’s allowed to be an ignorant voter but god forbid my 18 yo vote democratic because she surely doesn’t know anything. I’m still pretty upset. I knew it would come to this if i ever voiced my opinions. Afterward my son thanked me for standing up for what’s right. I'm so sorry it's gotten to this point for you. I can't imagine how hard it was to stand up to him, but I hope you feel good knowing that you did. Big hugs...

I too am so very disappointed about the handling of this pandemic by our government. It's disgraceful that we are in this position. It's heartbreaking how many people don't believe in science and are not interested in learning either. I am so sorry maryannscraps and pierkiss.

And then this...for those who can't see twitter posts it says "BREAKING: Donald Trump just sent a text message to his supporters, seemingly calling for violence, saying: "I need you. The Left will try to STEAL this Election!!! I'm calling on YOU to step up & FIGHT BACK." Bastard! He is evil. And how are they trying to steal the election? No lawsuits filed, calm patience for a final tally encouraged and generally not behaving like a spoiled child. Seems to me that the only way they can be accused of stealing it is that they’re letting him implode and mess it all up. So basically nothing. I cant wait for this to be over.

My mother in law is on a ventilator and dialysis tonight. Maybe the virus will disappear right after the election is over, just in time to save her life. I don’t think I can respect anyone who says this in any seriousness ever again. I have had people around me say they think it’s all intended to destroy Trump’s presidency and I don’t think I can ever see anything the same way again. I'm so sorry. Sending hugs and hopes that she recovers and is home soon.
