Now there are a lot of reasons one might think Mike Pence is a MORON based on his 15 minutes of infamy at the Colts/49ers football game yesterday.  You can point to his scheduling an itinerary which took him from Washington, D.C. to Indianapolis via LAS VEGAS!  (He must have been sleeping in Geography 101 when the professor explained the shortest distance between two points on a globe is NOT a “great zigzag.”) Or flying aboard a $30,000/hour military transport to carry out a political stunt.  Or telling the press corps to wait in the van because he would “spontaneously” be leaving the game in short order. Or the fact such a devoted Colts fan had not attended a Colts home game from November, 2014 to November, 2016 when he lived just 9.6 miles away (distance from the Governor’s residence to Lucas Oil Stadium per Google Maps).

This morning we were entertained by Pence, Kellyanne Conway and other Trumpeteers trying to justify or explain away this misuse of taxpayer funds for the sole purpose of reminding 35 percent of the American public someone shares their twisted view of right and wrong.  But there is one thing that cannot be explained away, the “smoking gun” by which I chose the subject line for today’s post.  Tangible evidence provided by the vice-moron (VM) himself.

At 8:27 a.m. Sunday morning, VM Pence tweeted a picture of himself and Mother Pence at the Colts game ready to honor Peyton Manning, who’s number #18 was retired that afternoon.

But as they say in the Kushner household, something wasn’t quite kosher.  The tweet read, “Looking forward to cheering for our @Colts & honoring the great career of #18 Peyton Manning.”   First, it’s hard to take a picture in your seats at 8:27 when the gates do not open until 11:00am.  Second, why is Mother Pence wearing Anthony Walker, Jr.’s #50 jersey instead of Manning’s #18?

The answer!  Because the same picture was previously tweeted at 3:45 p.m. on November 23, 2014.  The last time the homophobe-in-chief and his chaperone made the 36 minute limo ride from the mansion to the stadium.

There it is!  Only a moron would think people would not notice the difference between the tweeted picture and photos taken of the Second Family during the pre-game ceremonies (below).

At least Mother Pence had on the correct jersey with Manning’s #18.  (It was placed on her seat prior to her arrival.) Now that’s what I call a $242,000 souvenir (the cost of flying Air Force 2 from Las Vegas to Indianapolis and back to Los Angeles).

Speaking of Peyton Manning, Trump and Pence’s political stunt stole the spotlight from the the actual honoree.  Which by the way, the ceremony retiring his number and inducting him into the Colts’ Ring of Honor took place at half-time.  Care to guess who wasn’t in attendance “to honor the great career of #18 Peyton Manning?”  Furthermore, according to Sports Illustrated:

Approximately 23 players for the 49ers kneeled. Pence walked out. By 8 p.m. Sunday, the top five stories on the Indianapolis Star website were:         

• VP Pence leaves Colts game after 49ers players kneel
• Swarens: Throw the flag on Mike Pence’s walkout
• VP Mike Pence tweets same picture from Colts game
• Doyel: Pence uses Colts for political purposes
• Veterans, activists respond to Pence’s Colts walkout

No popular headline about Manning’s number 18 retired by the Colts or his induction into the team’s ring of honor.

Congratulations on achieving the first-ever insensitivity hat trick.  Within the span of just seven days the Trump administration succeeded in making stories about: (1) Las Vegas, (2) Puerto Rico and (3) Peyton Manning all about themselves.  These folks are no garden-variety morons.  Even Rex Tillerson’s “f***ing moron” doesn’t do them justice.  They are cruel, sadistic and heartless morons.  Quo erat demonstrandum!  Proven as shown!

For what it’s worth.
