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!

Depends what they got for doing it. Sounds to me like an initiation ritual/insurance policy for joining a secret club... what secret club might they have both been a part of where they would think that was a worthwhile entrance fee?

You might as well tell me jet fuel can't melt steel beams at this point. The shark has been jumped.

Well for me, the fact that an hour before it leaked, trump had 3 outbursts, one to the repulicans that are trying to get it released, one to the democrats about the same thing but more desperate and deranged sounding than normal, and one directly about how they are gonna look into bill clintons ties to epstein.... all an hour before we found out what he was mad about.... like we didn't even have to guess it was bill, trump basically told us by having no self control.

So, I guess he got a heads up about what was gonna leak.

This also explains to me why he's so freaked out about the Epstein files in the first place. I don't think he really understands how strongly a lot of his bade feels about the pedophilia.

Letting slip that he gave a blowjob, though? I can see him panicking endlessly about that getting out.

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io -1 points 2 days ago (2 children)

That's super weak reasoning, though. Clinton has been associated with Epstein in the past. If Trump wants to deflect from scrutiny about his dealings with Epstein, he's going to try to point people at Clinton. He's done it before! If he wants to deflect about something Epstein had on him involving what he was doing with Clinton, he's not going to point everyone to Clinton.

I think if you believe Trump blew Clinton you probably think Vance fucks couches.

I definitely wouldn't say it's a certainty, but it's a pretty strong coincidence to have all three of those sudden outbursts back to back out of the blue if they are completely unrelated. And even if that didn't happen the odds were already high enough before making that connection.

That behaviour is very much in-line with those types of clubs. Whether the illegal thing be drugs, or sex stuff, or just the actual real life secret political clubs that were only about corruption and collusion, which sound super tame now, but are already bad enough. And those clubs do very often end up coming out that they were still infiltrated with spies, or started by spies in some cases. Like, these aren't uncommon or brand new, they have been around for thousands of years.

It's actually very believable.

I don't actually know. I would not deny fucking couches if accused. It gives credence to a baseless assertion.
