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!

NEED TO KNOW

A fake video released alongside other files in Jeffrey Epstein's case appears to show Epstein attempting suicide on the last night of his life in his prison cell

Upon closer examination, the video appears to be an animation

The Bureau of Prisons report about Epstein's suicide states that no footage exists of Epstein in the hours leading up to his death

The incompetence of the coverup is staggering, Americans should be rioting

"We demand better coverups!!"

(putting on serious face): yeah, no, I do get it. And it all stopped being funny a long time ago anyhow.

From the government that got away with the MLK & JFK assassination comes;

Epstein's: been Iced.

Critics say:

It's at least as good as Star Wars IX

He can't keep getting away with this

And

Come on now...

the 2025 sequel remastered fully in CG, watch it like it never occurred before.

I think that this is going exactly as intended. They've flooded the media and internet with documents that have been redacted to a ridiculous extent and inserted a bunch of irrelevant stuff made to look incriminating for political enemies, and a few things like this that are obviously fake. Even if the next administration decides to release everything unredacted, there is so much trash mixed in now, that it will take a decade to separate the real stuff from the trash.
