Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

All Pence had to do was go on the Sunday morning political shows and say that Biden had won and that there was no way that the Congress would do anything except put Biden in office.
Instead he put his family in danger because he didn't want to be seen as disloyal to a man who despised him
Exactly.
Trump was not wrong that his career with republicans was basically ended. However, Pence was ideally setup to end Trump's career. Had he testified in the impeachment hearing, it would have been DAMN hard for the republicans to spin that as "Oh, opsie, this was just a little crimin'"
Instead, the dipshit thought he'd be loved enough to get a presidential nomination this year (TF?!?!). He's a moron.
I always think of Pence as Renfield to Trump's Dracula. A worm serving a snake.
Damn now that's the perfect description right there
Pence wishes he looked that good.
I mean, whatever he did or didn't do, he's a "conservative". Don't expect them to grow a spine...
They have no problem declaring a war; or sending kids to school with a bulletproof backpack; or making a 10 year old have a baby, but don't expect them to have to deal with consequences.
I bet mother won’t let him do that
