    We know. Not certifying the 2020 election was a requirement to anyone applying for the job of Trump’s running mate. Anyone that was added to the list meant that they were signing an oath to Trump rather than the constitution.

    No shit, Huff. You think maybe that’s why he was picked? Nah, gotta be because of how well liked he is.

    Pence wanted to be VP for personal gain, putting up with Weird 34 in the hopes that Pence himself would be Prez someday. Pence probably thought Sleepy DonOLD might choke on a hamburder, get removed from office by the Senate after an impeachment or two, or at the very least grit his teeth and hope for his own shot after Dementia Dork went into the sunset. Pence just wanted to be POTUS, not start an autocracy.

    Just Don’t Vance, on the other hand, is on a whole other level of weird submissiveness to Putin’s Puppet.

    Even if they do win in Nov, the Prez is still term limited and can’t run again. So Vance will never be in the same position as Pence. I suspect this is just empty posturing to play to a certain crowd, knowing that he (Vance) would never get called on it…

    Edit: Though he might do it for, say, his own Presidential run in 2028. But that’s not quite the same thing - Pence wasn’t being asked to make himself President four years ago.

      I agree but what the heck is your username and instance domain dawg? Out here lookin’ like a generated 25 character password lol

      P.S. to the mods I ain’t tryna be mean or troll or anything, just pointing out that the username and instance domain looks pretty weird.

        No worries. I host my own instance basically for free, and - the funky (but free) instance name is the price I have to pay for that. I figured that my username should probably match as well, so…

          Haha I gotchu. What service do you use? I didn’t know there was a free instance hosting service.

            Well, I self-host (using a laptop at home). But srv.us provides me the required DNS/domain name for free - it’s similar to ngrok if you are familiar with that.

            That said, it’s possible to get an instance hosted completely for free on the cloud - Oracle Cloud specifically. See https://gopinath.org/2022-11-11-hosting-ktistec-on-oracle-cloud

    “Fuck that couch, Mike…”

    “Okay JD… You know why you’re here. There’s a couch here, so you just do… Whatever makes sense.”

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
