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!

funny how republican scandals don't factor in, like Nixon's tape recorders or drug use during the orange fuckface's first term. But 'OMG in 2024 during a tour someone found a cocaine baggie! Obama invited Muslims! Biden invited TRANS (Here's ~~her~~ his tits!) Fucking nastyass Clinton got a blowjob from a consenting 26 year old woman! Everyone knows real men rape 12 year old girls then berate them for not giving good enough head'
This administration is such a fucking joke. And they say Republicans are physically incapable of humor due to their enlarged amygdala.
I mean to be fair, it’s hard to say that someone who holds authority over you can get your consent freely.
Totally agree that there's no way in hell a relationship between a 26 YO intern and the most powerful person in the world is fully consensual, but that's what she says ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Let's be honest, this was a transactional encounter. There's no way she wasn't thinking about what she could get out of it. Not saying she was wrong for that either, go on and get your bag girl. But laying blame at either one's feet is pretty disingenuous.
Nailed it.
True but it's not even close to the level of trafficking girls. And Im like 100% sure not only did Trump do the trafficking, but that there are plenty of dead and missing girls in the Epstein files.
