Books Post-Presidency About The Disgraced, Twice Impeached Florida Retiree Trump

[Suranis]

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you Dan Quayle, saviour of the American Republic





Thing is I have no doubt that Pence called Quayle hoping that Quayle would be spineless enough to tell Pence he could send the votes back for a recount. Instead he got Quayle's secret Identity Superquayle who respected the position and knew what Pence could and could not do.

[Foggy]

Gotta admit I never thought I'd see the word Superquayle.

New band name: Superquayle and the Superpotatoe!

[AndyinPA]

[pipistrelle]

Yeah, but it’s disturbing as hell Pence asked.

[noblepa]

Now, if Pence had asked Quayle how to spell "potato", he might have gotten the answer he wanted.

I doubt that Quayle will ever forget how to spell that word, after the humiliation he suffered over it. To be fair, the school had provided him with a card with the "correct" answer on it, spelled "potatoe".

Quayle was definitely not the brightest VP we've ever had.

[Slim Cognito]

Did not see that coming.

and then he "took on" on Murphy Brown....bwahahahaha

Vice Presidents have had to preside over the loss of the sitting President (Rockefeller, Mondale, Quayle, Pence) but some Vice President's had to preside over their own loss (Nixon, Humphry, Gore) and 2 of those elections were very close. However, unlike the disgraced loser, they accepted the role with grace and did what they were required to do.

[sad-cafe]

fuckhead knows nothing about grace, love, friendship, truth, empathy, honesty, class, couth or caring about others

all he knows is me me me

I'm #41 on the list for 12 copies for the audio CD at my library. I'll have to figure out how to play it. The other options were in the hundreds.

To be fair to Pence: I watched post-insurrection electoral-vote certification, and I thought Pence did a good job. He understood history was watching; he duly rejected, with the appropriate solemnity, all the inadequate objections. Notwithstanding the monumental events earlier in the day.

For clarity, I did not mean Pence had not conducted himself appropriately that day. He did. It was more a reflection on the former VPs who had to preside over the joint session gathered to certify that that VP had lost the election for President, including in 2 close elections (and court case). Unlike Trump who was pouting, fomenting insurrection, and generally being a lying sack, both Gore, Nixon, and Humphry conducted a role that sent them to political oblivion, at least temporarily for Nixon.

CNN finally reported on Quayle's involvement: How Dan Quayle saved democracy. Yes, really.

Haven't read it yet so sorry for asking, but has Quayle made a statement?

I don't see any upside for Quayle to get publicly involved with this.

Opinion Piece by Arwa Mahdawi

Every time a memoir by a former Trump staffer is announced it is marketed with words such as “bombshell”, “tell-all” and “scandal”. So far, however, none of these books have told us much we didn’t already know. Thanks to Lewandowski’s book we know Trump got his former aide Hope Hicks to steam his trousers … while he was wearing them. Cohen’s book told us – shocker! – that Trump said lots of very racist things. Taylor’s book “revealed” that everyone in the Trump administration complained about how badly run everything was. Nothing in any of these memoirs justifies their hypocritical authors getting a fat advance and a chance to whitewash their reputations.

[Slim Cognito]

Yep, the title says it all:

Why are there so many Trump staff memoirs? The authors need to whitewash their reputations

I've ordered Woodward's latest but Grisham can pound sand. I figure I'll hear all the juicy stuff in exerpts.

It's Chris Cillizza. He's a dope and his take is usually juvenile and nearly always wrong.

Trump exploded in rage at Paul Ryan after he denounced Charlottesville white supremacists: Bob Woodward

...

Ryan tried to explain to Trump that, as president of the United States, he had a duty to condemn neo-Nazis -- but Trump wouldn't hear of it.

"These people love me," Trump told Ryan, according to Woodward and Costa. "These are my people. I can't backstab the people who support me."

[Foggy]

No surprise there.
