There's much I dislike about Mike Pence, but at this moment I am grateful to him for

showing up for the Inauguration.

And, by his example, showing just how weak and petty Trump is by comparison.

At least you can deal with them. The modern fascist strongman anarchist you can't deal with.

He doesn't deserve credit for much these past few years, but this, like the electoral vote count is an important symbol and a way to further the (obvious) legitimacy of Biden and the othering of Trump. So I appreciate him for being there.

Pence will pretty much disappear.

But yeah, mild kudos for at least acting like an adult today.
