I think you just did.
What makes you think you can speak for others.
You don’t care, okay we know that.
But why you believe this know-thing apathy of your’s is some sort of medal of honor, that others should emulate, I can’t figure out.
That’s the mindset. They believe they have knowledge that others don’t. It’s comforting in a world with so much insanity. Telling others that they are wrong reinforces it for them.
i would say that its a fair call to conclude the vast majority of people dont give two hoots about what Pence has to say.
Given our low voter turnout, that could be said about just about anyone
so why the repeated hysteria and focus here over the words of Pence?
Well there were a bunch of people screaming they were ready to hang him!
That’s a couple of hoots no?
Actually isn’t that what real hysterics act and sound like ! ? !
But then, projection is MAGA tool numero uno isn’t it metalhead? You seem to have mastered the trick.
I was going to link “projection” but on second thought, better I drag it into the open.
Projection
Reviewed by Psychology Today Staff
Projection is the process of displacing one’s feelings onto a different person, animal, or object. The term is most commonly used to describe defensive projection—attributing one’s own unacceptable urges to another. For example, if someone continuously bullies and ridicules a peer about his insecurities, the bully might be projecting his own struggle with self-esteemonto the other person.
The concept emerged from Sigmund Freud’s work on defense mechanismsand was further refined by his daughter, Anna Freud, and other prominent figures in psychology.
Don’t know what you mean
on here . Repeatedly
That’s like, your opinion man
Would you prefer I utter your opinion?
No, I’d prefer you utter your own and back it up with reason and evidence instead of claiming to know what’s going on in other’s heads.

Yeah, speaking of what kind of guy President Biden turns out to be, gutsy, imaginative, and a step ahead of Putin. I mean even a non-fan like myself has to be impressed with his visit to Ukraine.
An example of a classy bitch slap, if there ever was one. Totally upended the Putin alternate-universe victory lap he was planning for the media.
SERGEI SAVOSTYANOV—SPUTNIK/AFP
As the war in Ukraine marks its one-year anniversary this week, Joe Biden’s symbolic visit to the country has Russian hawks thumping mad.
For them, it was supposed to be a conquering Vladimir Putin strolling triumphantly through the streets of the capital first, not the U.S. President—and critics are not biting their tongues over their deep displeasure.
“Biden in [Kyiv]. Demonstrative humiliation of Russia,” journalist and TV personality Sergey Mardan wrote on Telegram, Russians’ preferred social media app created by two St. Petersburg natives.
Monday’s symbolism of Biden walking side by side with Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky in the sunshine of the Kyiv morning contrasts starkly with familiar images of an isolated Putin holed away within the safe confines of the Kremlin, where he generally receives his briefings from top brass.
Dmitri Medvedev, deputy chair of the Russian Security Council, attempted to defuse popular anger by claiming Biden only came after receiving a security guarantee in advance. …
Oh and about the facts . . .

{Yeah, yeah, I’m sure not all the facts}
Of course, America isn’t totally innocent, too many BDGs, topped off by the adoring former president trumpkin egging on Putin and acting utterly treason toward Ukraine and American policy.
Still nothing justified the horrors Putin has unleashed in the past year.
thanks for this
