I'm out of the loop. What da hell they doin' over there now? Did Trump try to shoot Vance or something?

Mike Pence was marked for assassination on Jan 6. Searx 'Pence assassination attempt' to see if you find sources you personally find credible. I find it reasonably believable.

Pence showed that he was disloyal by not declaring Cheetolini the winner. Disloyalty is the worst possible crime in Trump land.

Kind of ironic since most of the people in that sphere of influence are lying shit bags whose loyalty only extends as far as it advances their own selfish interests. They just pretend to worship Trump because it's convenient at the moment and he lacks the awareness to see that.

It's a reference to Mike Pence and January 6th 2021. Trump incited the mob and sent them to the Capitol building, where Mike Pence was. Trump was reportedly asked about Mike Pence's safety and responded "so what?"

on Jan 6, the insurrectionists/terrorists/assholes had errected gibbets and were chanting "Hang Mike Pence!", trump made a few comments.

but most pointedly, Pence refused to get into the Secret Service SUV, saying to his main secret service guy "I trust you but I don't know [the driver]" early on it was because he was afraid he'd get disappeared, but he later changed his story to "I didn't want to leave so we could finish up the ceremony!"

Later on, Pence supported trump like a weird.
