I need some help fleshing this out. Feel free to add to it.
Acting Secretary of the Department of Defense Chris Miller thanked VP Pence for efforts in "most complex military operations this country has ever conducted".

Miller to VP Pence: “We’ve been through some stuff. We’ve gone through some of the most complex military operations this country has ever conducted...thank you for your leadership... character... selfless service...”
That was December 2020. Three weeks later Pence certified the 2020 election, and the aftermath of that was the passage of the Electoral Count Reform and Presidential Transition Improvement Act of 2022. That act specified that the vice president's role at the joint session of congress to count electoral votes is ministerial and that he or she cannot solely adjudicate disputes over electors.

That bring us to 2024, and now Kommublabla is VP and will be presiding over the joint session of Congress to certify the election. ECRPTIA has effectively neutralized the VP in any disputes arising from the count. We know the demonrats have something up their sleeve and are waiting to strike. They've been too quiet since Tuesday but have made it clear they will pull every dirty trick to not certify the election. I'm wondering how ECRPTIA plays into their scheme.
We've debated whether Pence is a white hat, black hat, or gray hat. If this is all part of the plan, I'm of the mind he's a gray hat who leans white. We know he was aligned with Paul Ryan at one point. However, we've seen plenty of people come out of the dark into the light. Maybe he's one of them but has stayed behind the scenes?
Anyway, my thoughts on this are kind of scattered and I find it difficult to assemble the pieces. What say you, my fellow frogs?
BUT....
it's completely illogical to put his enemy in that most core, central position. We know that Trump used the scaramuchi model: putting DS actors in specific positions, knowing they were DS, in order to expose them. Then he kicked them out.
If Trump had been incapacitated in any way, then that make Mike Pence the top dog. That is an untenable situation, imo.
Not all powerful, yes, most certainly. But it makes no sense for the Q team or Trump to essentially put their enemy in the position to take over if anything goes wrong with DJT.
I don't see it as illogical at all. I see it as a calculated risk he had to take. The alternative is the theory that Pence is a super secret white hat. I just do not believe that.
Why? Why would it be necessary to put Satan as your second in command to take over if anything happened to you?
Who says he was Satan? Maybe he was a guy they were hoping would come around to the right side but didn't. Why did Trump appoint a traitorous asshole as his Chief of Staff? Why did he have a jealous dipshit he shouldn't have trusted as his Secretary of Defense? Hell, he gave Omerosa a job. She then went on Celebrity Big Brother and slammed Trump.. He has admitted he had blindspots in his hiring process when first elected. He has cited this as the one thing he wishes he could go back and change. I don't see why it is so mind bogglingly difficult for believe Pence could fit in this category. He is either Satan or a secret white hat hero the way people present it.. A classic false dichotomy.
OK.
"Maybe he was a guy they were hoping would come around to the right side but didn't"
yeah, nah. Just my view. I don't think there is any way that the WH operation could put a bad actor, or even a questionable one, in that very key position.
Someone like Sec Def (Bolten), or chief of staff I do not see as being as crucial and critical a position as VP. Those positions can be fired by the Chief Executive, but VP an only be removed by impeachment, if I understand things correctly.
"Satan" was hyperbole, reserved for those that think Pence is a DS scumbag pedo. The dichotomy is unnecessary. But I still cannot reconcile the premise that Pence was a scumbag or even a questionable player. Far too critical a position. IMO.
