They haven’t been seen together since January and we think we know why. It isn't because the food at Mar-a-Lago sucks. Or that Bedminster smells weird.

Pence is trying to use the current environment as a cover to slip out from under Trump’s thumb. If you guessed he’s plotting a 2024 run, you’d be right, Friend.

The problem is – Pence can’t win without Trump’s base.

So, what’s his genius plan to get Trump’s base to follow him?

To speak out and blame the media for attacking the January 6th insurrectionists. Have you ever heard of anyone more desperate than someone who is trying to defend the people who chanted “Hang Mike Pence!” and rushed the capital with ropes and blind fury?

Hey, yeah, they were trying to kill me, but that's just what the media says. Right.  

The thing is, those are probably the only times we ever really thought about Mike Pence in the four years he was living in D.C. (Oh, right, fly-gate.)

His role as Trump’s VP was to keep his mouth shut, wave for the cameras, and con evangelicals into supporting a guy who didn't know how to hold a Bible right side up. But you and I know that even in the midst of the most narcissistic President in recent history, he was plotting for his own eventual run. We all saw him toe the line when needed and then slink back and be seen as little as possible.

Trump even said he picked the wrong man for the job. Sure, he was worthless to Trump’s election overturn attempt. 

He must think Trump forgot. Or that he can con Trump’s supporters. No way Pence thinks he can go up against Trump in a primary, right? Or does he actually think the same base that wanted him hanged will turn around and pick him as Trump's heir?

Now, DeSantis, on the other hand…

Our sights may be on Virginia right now but we haven’t taken our eye off of the insanity of Trump-world palace intrigue. We’re not going anywhere, and we hope you’re with us, Friend.
