They received every man a penny

And the guy's name is Pence. I'm really starting to believe in this "nominative determinism" thing. (By the way, the etymology of my own name ultimately goes back to Tyche, the goddess of fortune.)


I've never been one for conspiracy theories about Freemasons, but that handshake is without any doubt a Masonic pass-grip. We can't see the coin or token being passed very clearly, but it certainly looks as if it might be marked with a pentagram or a square-and-compasses.

Thanks to commenter Mr. Andrew for bringing this to my attention.

I've seen this referenced but I don't get it. What is the provenance of this video, where did it appear, what is it *supposed* to be showing?

It's supposed to be from C-SPAN, but it doesn't show up in the 12-hour video published on YouTube.

Pence is wearing his mask but still on the dais (as you can see from the American flag behind him and the fact that he is higher up than his interlocutors), so it must have happened between 11:19:30 (when he puts on his mask) and 11:20:09 (when he steps down from the dais). But I can see no man in a light-blue mask approaching him during that time period.

However, if you go to 11:20:06, just before he steps off the dais, you can see that the video has obviously been edited.

I saw a better video, but the internet disappeared it. Here you can see him take the coin and then receive a nudge/elbow bump from Pelosi afterwards. Coincidental or was it because the coin and what it signifies?

My current take: This was supposed to drag on longer. Every day was supposed to get spicier with Trump supporters clutching their pearls. Trump, being the God-Emperor that he is, forced everybody to show their true cards, even his own VP.

But something happened yesterday. God revealed Trump. Trump was forced to show his cards early.

Either that, or Trump is about to pull the greatest *psych!* of all time.

The latest Trump tweets from Twitter (fake or not) seem to imply he'll rally his supporters in a new party or TV network (or something).

Which is a page directly taken from the "Transition Integrity Project", which was a Democrat playbook for how to get Trump out of the White House.

I hereby repent of this assessment.
