    Default Why did VP Pence call former VP Quale rather than Dick Cheney on Jan 5

    to find out how to flip the election and overthrow democracy?
    Cheney was VP for eight years and was in the office more recently. It's been 30 years since Quayle has been around.
    So why would Pence bypass Cheney and call Quale?

    Makes me wonder what Cheney might've told him if he had called.
    Republican Congressman Ken Buck:
    “We’re at a time in American politics, that I am not going to lie on behalf of my presidential candidate, on behalf of my party. And I’m very sad that others in my party have taken the position that, as long as we get the White House, it doesn’t really matter what we say,”

    Teabags of a feather flock together. Cheney is a different bird. A smarter bird.

    You think Cheney would've given Pence a different answer than Quayle?

    I think Cheney's answer would have been more direct and blunt. Something along the lines of 'Of course you can't do that you fucking spineless, gutless, cowardly toady'.

    I'm guessing probably because Cheney would invite him hunting.

    I think Cheney would have berated him...and then invited him hunting.

    I think the most alarming part of this story is that Pence was even asking. Because that means he was actually considering invalidating the election if he thought he had the authority. That's frightening. Pence is unfit for office.

    No, I just think Pence and Dan would get along better. Cheney is a bit urbane stuffy and eminence gris.
    Frankly I think it's a nothing burger.

    Pence was asking everyone he could find so he could justify doing whatTrump wanted. He could not find a way to do what Daffy demanded. But he tried. He should have asked Bannon, Flynn, or Fox gnus. They would have told him it was legal. Pence still has political ambitions. He wants to be president. What a scary thought.

    Yeah I was very disappointed when I read this. I expect very little, but I'm always looking for any sign of light.
    Then to have this glimmer slammed shut... It's just depressing.

    I think Cheney would have told him to help trump

    Cheney doesn’t care about this nation


    He is filthy wealthy now

    Another economic crash would just be a buying opportunity for him

    Eastman was one of the many lawyers aiding Trump in his campaign to overturn the results of a free and fair election, and seems to have taken an integral role in the final act: stopping Congress from certifying the election results on January 6. Eastman drew up a detailed plan for Vice President Mike Pence to stop the election certification singlehandedly—for one man to wield his power in order to seize it from the people

    Trump lawyer offered six-point plan for Pence to overturn election

    Eastman's memo was sent to Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) and that former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R), who served as one of Trump's attorneys at the time, tried to convince Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) that there was rampant fraud in the 2020 election.
