That is his new persona. He is quickly changing to blend in with the back ground and avoid detection. Normal operation for a weasel.

For those who might not know, Flat Stanley is a character in a children's series of books who can make himself flat as a piece of paper. The Flat Stanley Project http://www.flatstanleyproject.com/ describes what to do.

Sit still. Hope no one is paying you any attention. Lord Jebesus for sure don't ever give any indication other than you are in total lock step with the President. And if you can't say anything nice.....don't say a word.

He's already thrown out in the garbage all his Christian principles. He and many in the evangelical MAGA world I'm sure are thinking the same way this cartoon does. That the good lord will use Dear Donald as much as possible to further the Christian Right agenda, like getting a couple more conservative judges on the SCOTUS, and other anti-choice judicial appointments. And that's fine. But if Trump is railroaded out of office by the angry deep state Democrats, they ain't even worried, because Mighty Mike will swoop in and complete their dreams of a new American Theocracy. And Pence is sitting as quiet as a mouse until then.

a woman other than his wife because the temptation would simply be too great. So maybe he's attracted to Nancy Pelosi and was simply trying to restrain himself by focusing intently on something else. Either that or he's been replaced by a mannequin as in a Twilight Zone episode. Schumer seemed to be getting a kick out of the whole thing. Can't wait to see the SNL version. This stuff writes itself.

To me, Pence looked like someone from back in the day of complete crowd silence and players wearing white tennis togs just sitting still and watching the match by only moving his head back and forth during each volley.

are catching up to him too.

Mind you, he just had a closed door luncheon with Individual-1 this week about what exactly, nobody knows. Then individual-1 made a move on his Chief of Staff to replace John Kelly, but instead of the CoS taking Individual-1's offer, he declined, deciding rather to immediately resign from VP Pence's position too...the week after we find out that Individual-1 is a felon.
