The image at the top still haunts my waking nightmares.

Applaud? No. We would just like our Vice President not to be outclassed on a world stage by such people.I guess it is true that when Trump is sending people to other countries, he is not sending our best.....

Pence thinks he is better than everyone else. Better hair, better face, better family, better bank account, better religion. This is Mike Pence.

Of course he went there just to do that. He pulled the same stunt when he and Mother flew to that footbaw game so he could storm out in high dudgeon in the first three minutes because someone dared to take a knee.

Oooo ooo Big bad hick Pence ,the starchy SOB who chases kids off his lawn , didn't applaud or make nicey with the Orwellian " hate of the month ",North Korea. " One can't be an appreaser " in the Neoconservative echo chamber . So Mr ." Praying man " , is just so " All Murica Goodness "circa 1952 . ( Only real General Eisenhower ended the Korean War ) . The A.. H... is running for Preeeeezident since he was 17 . This kind of cornball stunt goes over in Flag Waving Land .

A week ago who among us could have predicted that anyone, let alone someone in the Trump Administration, could have made the North Koreans look diplomatic, never mind sane.

So far that does seem to be it. And to be the designated religious right mannequin at the Olympics, to try and spoil everyone else's good time.So a spoiler, all the way around.

mike penis pence, even without the guidance of his orange spiritual leader, at whom he gazes with more adoration than he does at Mother, is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Hoosiers are simply thankful to be rid of this MOHron. he and Mother pursing their lips and refusing to stand or applaud just makes the US look even more ridiculous than it already does. The US, under the direction of Vlad Putin, is now utterly irrelevant in the world community. And utterly rude. Can't wait for the Russians to march in and take over, as they love to do. PoottrumpLandia, here we come.

This type of behavior appeals to their white trash base. They think it makes them seem as powerful and important. That's how little minds work.

No, but they were there combined with one of our "Allies", who chose to march with them, and out of respect for the host country, Pence should have stood.
