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!

That’s…surprising? A republican with some sort of a spine. Huh.
It's not spine. It's the MAGA wanting to murder him leopard eating his face.
There were still plenty of other Republicans in that position on J6 who have come out to support Trump
Yeah, but they still need to be elected and can't piss off the trump cult. Pence is almost 65 and after his dismal showing in the primaries has probably decided to quit politics. So he has a little more leeway to speak out.
Mitch McConell is 82, can comfortably expect re-election indefinitely, faced just as much threats by the MAGAts during J6, and is still endorsing Trump.
I'm not one to say that Mike Pence is a good person, but he's taking an unpopular step against his party on his own principles. It's kind of "a broken clock is right twice a day," but I will applaud a shitty person standing up to a really shitty person.
Fair point.
A spine would make him endorse Biden, this is more of "he actually tried to murder me, I won't endorse anyone then".
I mean, he was threatened with hanging
