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!

I don’t understand this accusation - Mike Pence is an asshole, don’t get me wrong, but I thought Jan. 6 was like, maybe the 1 good thing he did by not going along with Trump’s plan to steal the election? What am I missing?
Yeah this seems frustrating
It wasn't a Democrat, the article is wrong. It was a maga idiot.
MAGA brain rot.
Full Question for Context: "'Why did you commit treason on January 6 and not stand by President Trump?'"
The questioner thinks the election was stolen and Pence was duty-bound to help block Biden from being certified as POTUS.
Mike Pence is an asshole
That's an understatement. Mike Pence is walking talking human garbage.
Thanks for not expanding on the point at all or answering the question
Oh, I expanded on the point that Pence is a fucking asshole. Nice gatekeeping though.
Are you 12?
No, he was my governor and not only enacted damaging policy while in office, but some of the things that did not pass were unbelievable. My favorite being when he tried to pass a law where women who had gotten an abortion would have to host a mandatory funeral and pay for funerary costs. Just disgusting.
He's a repugnant human being and an even worse official.
Nobody is disputing that.
I agree with you, but this response is not at all helpful or pertinent to the question asked.
