Very few of the news stations or any other people are falsely trying to pass it off as an insurrection because they've admitted it was at best a riot. Your b.s. you're making up is just that B.S.

Curran and other lefties have to either lie about what you've said by 'putting words in your mouth' or make up lies and hope someone believes it because their agenda is weak at best. No doubt he's still pushing the 'Russia collusion' lie.

LOL, good old Scootie-pie continues to troll with insults and partisan bs when he is obviously owned and projecting!

You lefties are easily fooled by the media and their lies. Hand Pence, yeah right.

DaveO Loc: Northeast CT

Perhaps Pence will soon clarify things for you.

Unlike you, he is not in love with Big Perp!

I wouldn't believe anything he has to say. He was a worthless VP that got nothing done in 4 years. He is also planning on running against Trump.

DaveO Loc: Northeast CT

What do you feel should the agenda of the VP include?

Vice President
The Vice President of the United States, also knowns as VPOTUS or Veep, is an important position in the executive branch of federal government. The Vice President is probably best known as being “a heartbeat away from the presidency”, meaning that if a sitting President dies or is impeached, the Vice President takes over. However, constitutionally, the main responsibility of the Vice President is the role of President of the Senate. Under Article One, Section Three of the US constitution:

“The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided.”

As head of the upper house of congress, the Vice President votes on legislation or other motions only when Senators are deadlocked 50-50. This has occurred 243 times and involved 35 different Vice Presidents. Whilst in the past the Vice President would actively preside over Senate proceedings, nowadays its customary that they only get involved in order to break a tie.

The only other formally recognized duty of the Vice President is to preside over and certify the tally of electoral college votes after a Presidential election has taken place.

Informal Roles of the US Vice President

However, the role also brings with it many visible, informal responsibilities. These would typically vary depending upon the relationship between the President and Veep of the day, but have typically included:

Making public appearances representing the President
Performing ceremonial duties in place of the President
Acting as an adviser to the President
Meeting with heads of state or government of other countries
Selection of the Vice President

Potential US Vice Presidents must fulfill the following criteria by being:

a natural born US citizen
at least 35 years old
a US resident for at least the previous 14 years
Other than this, vice presidential candidates don't require any special qualifications. In practice, however, most candidates have served in Congress, and some have been high ranking military officers or state Governors.

Vice presidential candidates run together with presidential candidates in an election on a "joint ticket" as a "running mate". This means that once the vice presidential candidate for each party has been confirmed, voters are then essentially selecting the President and Vice President as a single package. In theory, vice presidential candidates are selected at National Conventions by the party as a whole once the Presidential candidate has been announced. In reality, however, standard practice has been that Presidential candidates effectively choose their own running mates.

The first US Vice President was John Adams, serving from 1789 to 1797. The current office holder is Mike Pence.

Like I said he accomplished nothing.

It appears that you don't really have a viable or direct answer. Seriously.

LIAR!!!

Wrong on all points, as usual.

Ok, actually, that's correct; however, "armed" does not require firearms. Knives, clubs, and pepper spray all qualify, and most everyone there had at least one of those. Plus, there were many handguns found on the rioters as well.


They erected a gallows. This means that brought with them the parts to build a gallows. It was clearly pre-planned. Also, Trump tweeted “Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done” at 2:24 PM, and at 2:27 PM, the crowd breached the barricades and headed into the Capitol --- the mob clearly deciding that if Pence wouldn't overthrow the government for them, they would have to do it themselves.

Racmanaz Loc: Sunny Tucson!

Lol no, YOU are wrong on all parts as usual. It’s only lying conspiracy nut jobs that actually believe it was an attempted insurrection, no such action occurred. Only fools believe it to be an actual insurrection. Facts are not in your favor no matter what BS you want to post. Yes, in order to take over the U.S government, you would need a well planned out attack by some sort of armed militia, otherwise you have nothing. Such a dumb argument from you anti-Trumpers.

No! I am referring to your idol F JB, your b**tbuddy who you must admire but won't admit that he loves and admires and voted for him.

That was the DemoKKKrats inciting a riot.
