What was Trump\u2019s response? He decided to hurl epithets not only at Trump, but also at \u201cOld Crow Mitch McConnell,\u201d whatever the hell that means.<\/p>\n<p>You see, all Pence did in his talk to the Federalist Society the other day was to declare that the law is clear, that the vice president had zero authority to do what Trump demanded of him, which was to reject electoral votes cast for Joe Biden and award them to Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Pence said he couldn\u2019t do that. So \u2026 Donald, for cryin\u2019 out loud, you need to stop fomenting The Big Lie about phony vote fraud. I know he won\u2019t stop. He likely will go to his grave bellowing nonsensical trash about \u201ccorrupt\u201d electoral processes and \u201crigged elections.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Donald Trump will check out more than likely on the wave of stupidity on which he rode to public office in the first place.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\" style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"mailto:johnkanelis_92@hotmail.com\">johnkanelis_92@hotmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald J.
