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!

A pardon would be too obvious, and would take her off the leash. Much safer to transfer her to a cushy Club Fed prison and give her work release. That way, if she steps out of line she has a lot to lose.

Easier to Epstein her outside of prison. You have to cut camera feeds and make sure guards aren't nearby.

Or she "disappears" - bonus points if an unidentified liberal is subject of an elaborate manhunt before the lead goes cold. Meanwhile, Trump has her quietly shipped to Russia where she can pick up where she left off and live out her life with full govt protection

Is America still not puting 2 and 2 together that Trump was likely involved in killing Epstein to silence him? Doubt he'd put extra effort into keeping Maxwell alive vs. her also "suiciding" or being disappeared.

30% of people know. 31% think Trump is Jesus. 39% don't pay attention (or at least don't vote).

Where have you been that that isn't the primary allusion people name about it. It was his attorney general that chose the prison he was put in. He also hired the guy who gave Epstein his slap on the wrist sweetheart deal the first time he was arrested, TO HIS CABINET.

Texas. It'll be a car crash. They just need to put her in a small vehicle and hit it with a truck.

She didn't need to be bought. The pedos are catering to her now.
