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!

STOP ASKING ABOUT MY PEDOPHILE ACTIVITIES GUYS SRSLY FFS!!!

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 14 points 20 hours ago

Nothing confirms they were right to ask those questions quite like throwing a tantrum at being asked

[–] ABetterTomorrow@sh.itjust.works 21 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

What is he so worried about?

[–] DrFistington@lemmy.world 13 points 20 hours ago

If he hasn't raped any kids, then he should have nothing to hide...

[–] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 5 points 18 hours ago

"Epstein? Never heard of him. He was a low level person. Never existed. I think he used to deliver covfefe at Mar-a-TACO. Very low level."

You mean the guy known to creep on underage girls, who insisted on barging into their changing rooms, who made inappropriate comments about his own daughter when she was under age, and who frequently hung out with the guy that was a known paedophile and was known to prostitute underage girls to his rich friends, doesn't want to talk about what he was doing with him all that time?

Gee, I wonder why.

[–] kmartburrito@lemmy.world 89 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You forgot to mention the rape

[–] shittydwarf@sh.itjust.works 83 points 1 day ago

Adjudicated rapist, who so definitively raped Jean E Cartoll that he automatically owes her millions of dollars in damages every time he denies raping her?

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 99 points 1 day ago (2 children)

This Epstein or a different Epstein?

[–] sepi@piefed.social 25 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The one that had an island.

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

The one that they're still trying to make a believable deepfake of him hanging himself.

[–] mazzilius_marsti@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

oh that was just some random dudes

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 66 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Every question should be about Epstein for the next three months.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I'd like a few questions about the genocides sprinkled in.

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 5 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Why? They're going to brag about it and call the victims criminals

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

To remind their audience, not to get an honest answer out of Trump.

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 1 points 16 hours ago

Remind them what, that Trump says it's good? There's nothing to be gained there

No, just document it. Report on it. Ask the Democrats what they're doing to stop it. Challenge Republicans to make them comment about the horrors to come on record

But the white house? They'll add nothing of value, better to keep asking the questions that make them nervous

[–] DrFistington@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago

Ask if trump is upset that Epstein isn't still around to traffic children from the Gaza genocide to maralago so that Trump can rape them

[–] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 38 points 1 day ago

Me'thinks the lady doth protest too much.

[–] WarmSoda@lemmy.world 29 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I can't believe we're still talking about this, this creep! That im photographed with on multiple occasions! This creep you know we have many uh many successes right now and i just can't believe were still talking about this god i miss little girls and and you know what else they tell me, lots of people are telling me...

[–] GuyFawkes@midwest.social 27 points 1 day ago (2 children)

This will be out of the news cycle by Thursday.

[–] some_designer_dude@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Not if you repost it every week!

[–] notarobot@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Seems like he has been changing subject every week by doing something worse. Next week it will be war. Then no war. Then tariffs. Then no tariffs

[–] evenglow@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Seems like it?

Seems like it worked just fine the last time Trump was President. Seems like millions of people forgot.

[–] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 day ago

Only to be replaced by another heinous thing. It's like capitalism, but instead of making number go up, it's trying to one-up themselves to get the last thing out of the news. It's like lying to cover up a lie that was told to cover up a lie that was told to cover up a lie, and so on. I have no fathomable idea how depraved this administration will get. Each day they seem to sink lower and lower.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago

Gosh, he doesn't seem guilty at all!

[–] WhatGodIsMadeOf@feddit.org -3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Sounds like he's sucking k!d cock.

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

That holster is reserved for Putin.
