hmm, yes, well. I'm a casual cockroach theorist: Where there is one, there are many. Apply.

See here, 18 Aug weekend sighting.

Vice President Mike Pence and national security adviser H.R. McMaster rehearsed their pitch heading into the Camp David strategy session in an effort to persuade Trump to accept commanders' proposals to beef up the 8,400 American troops in the country, the sources said.
[...]
The two sources -- an administration official and a senior White House aide -- also confirmed that Erik Prince, founder of the former Blackwater private security firm, had been scheduled to attend the session but that he was blocked at the last minute. The administration official said McMaster was the one who blocked Prince.

So. What else is Mr Pence up to?

And I certainly did not mean that I am happy with Pence. I can only wish that we had a repeat of the Agnew/Nixon sequence, but that would depend on Pence having done something egregiously illegal AND apprehendable as such by a majority of the US electorate. And just who could be appointed in Pence's place? A fifty food diameter meteror striking the White House when both Trump and Pence are there seems more likely.

And even then we would get Paul Ryan.
