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!

It's very clear that he's on the list and that's not surprising. What's surprising is that out of all the people in these bureaus and government, not a single person is standing up and doing anything. It's unbelievable that there aren't and people with intrinsic good in them to fucking do something about this.
Last 10 years have really shown us how trash this country is, haven't they?
Americans aren't very smart. Americans are pretty weak.
Sad. But true.
Americans invented the propaganda systems which have now eaten their brains. It is currently being trained on the rest of the world.
(They also warned us about those same propaganda systems, but we didn't care about that.)
Heads up.
I don't believe that.
He has unfortunately systematically gotten rid of them through his two terms
It's just a giant child sex trafficking ring you shouldn't take politics so seriously
Well, I'd like to be surprised that POTUS was visiting a rape island, but having observed Trump for nearly a decade it's entirely predictable that he would do that given the opportunity.
I think you could sort the members and supporters of his regime broadly into 3 categories:
I think there's a fourth category, which is people who are keeping quiet for their own health. If you blew the whistle, how long do you truly believe you'd remain anonymous? Even if you moved to a foreign country right afterwards, how long do you think you'd stay alive? You have a highly narcissistic man in control of one of the most complex and far-reaching systems of surveillance ever built, and that man is HIGHLY invested in keeping his secrets - and failing that, he's never been above making examples. Don't forget Trump worked with the Mob, likely the Russian Mafia, and came of age in the tail end of the era where blowing the whistle on the wrong person in NY could very well end with you getting a lead injection from a very Italian man.
