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!

"We got caught, i will be more discrete"
yeah Trump is just the full realization of what Republican politics has been sprinting to.
...being complete idiots?
That's his problem with Trump. Too much sprinting and not enough leisurely jogging.
"imploded?"
They've got 90% of what they want.
What they really want is to be cool and have people respect them, and they're not getting that
Yes, please help divide the Republican party and possibly lower their turnout.
You can't shit in the bed and claim you didn't do it... but I commend you for at least attempting to clean it up. You still shit the bed though, you bed shitting asshole.
To be fair, he's less "cleaning it up" and more "spreading it around to create a uniform shitstain."
This dude was always extra creepy to me. Like his human disguise is slightly off
Why do you think he wants to end the populism?
To be fair it's not his fault and he can't change how he looks when he hatched.
The Lizzid Peeple!
Dude's so far in the closet, he can party with Travolta behind J. Edgar's old evening ensembles.
All the authoritarianism with 50% less grift?
Lmfao talk about an ego... These motherfuckers wanted to hang this man how the hell does he think he has a chance?
Don't discourage him. Splitting the maga vote is a wonderful thing, to be encouraged.
Have you seen his competition?
Welp, best of luck Flyboy. You're a miserable sack of wet turds as well but I'm all in favor of more infighting.
Republican politicians have no principles, and Mike Pence is no different. This is a power play to develop a base of support so he can negotiate a better position for himself when he gets brought back into the fold.
I wonder what Mom thinks about that.
When I'm sitting here and watching the cons doing all this infighting and backstabbing - and a lot of it is over that stupid skidmark Kirk - I'm reminded very much of conspiracy theorists.
I used to monitor a few conspiracy theorists and even if at one point one of them would have a certain character on their platform, they'd later have a falling out over some unhinged bit of doctrine, LOL, and the next thing you know, that person was part of the CIA, an Illuminati stooge, too aligned with the Jews, or whatever.
I guess it's no coincidence that so very many cons engage in lots and lots of conspiracy theories, because many of their politicians and influencers behave exactly like conspiracy theorists (and I realize lots of them are clearly both, like Alex Jones) when it comes to queening out over lots of in-group drama.
If he tries to run for President, will the fly be his VP?
"Hey I heard you guys were back into Christian values? I'm Charlie Kirk, amirite? Put er there" 🖐️
Good idea to put "Freedom" in the name of his group. Remind people about that word
Oh no not…Mike Pence!
