Trump is such a fucking crybaby.

If you protest, it's because you feel your voice isn't being heard. If you riot, it's because you feel your voice is being ignored.

Oddly enough, Dan Quayle told Pence he couldn't block certification a day or so before. We were that close to a coup.

It's scary to think that it came down to Dan fucking Quayle. I wouldn't trust him as dogcatcher.

Still, Trump allegedly tried to convince Pence to overturn the results by asking, Wouldnt it be almost cool to have that power?

Per the book, Pence replied, No. Ive done everything I could and then some to find a way around this. Its simply not possible.

Trump then became agitated, screaming, No!

You dont understand, Mike. You can do this. I dont want to be your friend anymore if you dont do this, he said, according to the book.
And his cult sees him as some kind of Alpha male?

If they'd done it then we'd have had a full on rebellion against them literally stealing the election.

Tfw the country only survived because of Dan effing Quayle.

They see him as validation for their own shitty, childish behavior, which they can later try to convince themselves and others is 'alpha' behavior.

Yeah, I get most on this board probably know little to nothing about Quayle. For those who do, it's legit terrifying.

He's Palin levels of stupid but even he knew right from wrong.

Heck, I'm too young to remember but I've learned about what he did because I've spent time reading on our history of foreign policy and mostly the 1940s on consisted of intervention tactics. So naturally that meant plenty of reading about vice presidents, they usually don't get much attention but plenty of them were arguably more evil than the president they served under.

I've been on this kick lately of getting the books written about Trump on Audible. So after getting through a few: Mike Pence, although he's an uber-christian conservative that I disagree with on a lot of stuff, seemed to know Trump was a loose cannon and cared more about "winning" than the actual rule of law. He acted accordingly when told to do things by Trump. I give him a little respect for that.

(too lazy to make a meme, will have to use your imagination)

Trump: 'Don't worry, MAGA country. When I'm through with him, Mike Pence won't even set foot in the Capitol Building. I can be very, very...persuasive.'

(later)

Trump: 'C'mon, stop the certification!'
Pence: 'No.'
Trump: 'Awww, I'll be your friend...?!'
Pence: 'No.'
Trump: 'Ooh, you're mean!!'

ok i never make a serious post in this forum because why would you but how can ppl really know what books are the truth over what really happened? can't anyone with an agenda against trump just write whatever the fuck they want and say "oh yeah i was there man this happened for sure."

btw i don't support or endorse king crybaby loser, just genuinely curious, because as much as i'd like to read some inside knowledge i am truly sceptical as to who knows what and what they can say.

It's tricky with books. You have to find ones with authors that have good credibility. Usually places have multiple sources that say the same thing before they put something in print. And then they give the person the section is about a chance to refute it before printing. Two of the ones I read (and maybe the third but I'm not sure) interject into the book when the person disputes what is being said.

And if it's THAT wrong and THAT bad, the subject can sue.

But reputable news/books always check their sources.

Edit: I just looked at my list. I've listened to 4.

Fear by Bob Woodward
Rage by Bob Wooward
A Very Stable Genius by Carol Leonnig and Phillip Rucker
I Alone Can Fix This by Carol Leonnig and Phillip Rucker

I'm on a fifth one now: The Room Where It Happened by John Bolton

Yeah, I'm sure there's more than a fair share of embellished books on the Trump admin either out already or coming soon, but Bob Woodward has huge credibility.

I remember telling a kid that I wouldn't be his friend if he didn't trade me his Charizard card. He stuck to his guns and I kept my word for the rest of the day, then I called him the next day to play kick ball.

Good for you.

I'm Gen X and noticed boomers believe nothing important happened after 1990.

Some millennials and zoomers think nothing important happened before 2000.
