Republican Vice Resident Mike Pence is easy to recognize. First, he’s a holier than thou, Republican Supply-side pseudo-Christian sycophant with total corruption and absent ethics. Second, on the tip of his nose, he always carries a dollop of orange feces. He did a great job on his trip to Ireland, but only for his Fuhrer’s wallet.
Back in June, Donald Trump used his trip to Europe—ostensibly arranged around a state visit with Queen Elizabeth, a meeting with the Irish prime minister, and D-Day commemorations in France—to pimp Trump International Golf Links and Hotel Ireland, his money-losing resort in the town of Doonbeg. At the time, critics pointed out that it made little sense for the president to fly hundreds of miles back and forth across Europe to fit in a couple sleepovers at the for-profit business he owns, and that it was patently obvious he was doing so to bring publicity and a cash injection to a course that has lost more than $1 million every year from 2014 to 2017. But apparently the White House was unencumbered by such ethical concerns, because Vice President Mike Pence’s current trip to Ireland will include a similar scheme to line the president’s pockets.
Pence, who arrived in Ireland on Monday after Trump decided to stay in the U.S. to play golf at his Virginia course, will be staying at Doonbeg during his visit, despite the fact that it makes no logistical sense, as his meetings are located 180 miles away in Dublin and will require him to commute via plane. While the VP has never missed an opportunity to suck up to the boss, Marc Short, his chief of staff, insisted that brownnosing was absolutely not a consideration here. Short told reporters Tuesday that Pence had been planning to visit Doonbeg anyway for “family reasons,” and sure, yeah, the president mentioned Pence could stay his resort (for a price), but it wasn’t like he put a gun to his head or anything…
…With Trump, of course, there’s no such thing a just a suggestion; should Pence have passed up the generous offer to get the Doonbeg name out there and boost revenue at the president’s club, he’d likely have woken up to a Twitter tirade about how it made no sense to stay in Dublin when such a beautiful property was available…
Inserted from <Vanity Fair?
MSNBC offered analysis and CSPAN aired Pence’s pitiful excuse.

Pseudo-Christian Pence’s next BS excuse will be that Republican Supply-side Jesus (the exact opposite of the real Jesus, told him to do it.
Vice President Pence Defends Decision to Stay at Trump Property in Doonbeg
To connect with his family roots, Pence could have stopped for a night, completely at his own expense, as a personal vacation on the way home.
From a foreign policy perspective, the trip was an abject failure. Pence was so phony and hypocritical that, according to the Irish Times, “he shat on the new carpet“.
RESIST!!

Pence and Trump…rancid together!
I’m sorry but at the phrase “running them in a very professional manner” I dissolved into gales of laughter and missed a lot. I’ll check back to see if there is anything new and unexpected that I missed.
Update: While I often deplore the MSM passing over Democrats, in this case, they absolutely picked the right guy. The explicit and unqualified condemnation of his behavior is much stronger coming from a Republican.
I’m not surprised the Irish Times said he “shat on the new carpet.” The s**t is evident and overflowing in his panegyric.
Also freezer is here. Yippee!
Gawd, what shameful behavior from both Pence and dt.
Using taxpayers $$ for their schemes, to make him richer through his company(ies).
I’d be in jail if I tried this, why isn’t he? UGH!!!
These two are such amateurs! Pence, at least, held an elective office before running for VP, but is a total looser.
Agree with other comments above. They both are despicable.
Thanks TomCat

This should have been done, long go, but it is a first step!
From the Irish Times article it is clear that Pence went out of his way (I’d call it “beg”) to get is an invitation extended to his Irish mother and then abused the gracious concent by bringing his mother AND sister. For the stayover in Trump’s resort in Doonbeg, he had to come up with an excuse, though. So he combed through his Irish family tree and was lucky to have one of his mother’s grandmothers stemming from the town/area. (Has the fact-checker been used to see if this is really true?) No doubt he would have gone further in that lineage to find his token Doonbeg ancestor. Isn’t it wonderful to see Pence smile when he can obey the wishes of his master and pay no penny for it himself?
I would have liked to have had a barf-bag warning for Pence’s interview. Seeing this hypocrisy-oozing slimebag purse his lips in contemplation when asked the delicate question, made me want to hurl big time.
I had NO idea that grifting could be contagious. Pence’s shenanigans prove otherwise.
Everything on the dark side is contagious. That’s why our moms warned us to be careful of the company we keep.
But, on the other hands, those already on the dark side attract others who are already in their sector of the dark side. I’m betting there’s a modicum of grift in Pence’s pre-Trump life.
Thanks, Amen, and late Hugs to all.
