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 surprising number of Andrew Cuomo’s allies, donors, and friends have close ties to the late pedophile and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

So the dnc are going to make him the presidential candidate for the next election, aren't they?

Trump has an even bigger Epstein problem. One, because he is the main suspect still alive and two, because he has the power to do something about it but isn't. Pretty cut and dry here that the president, DJ Trump is guilty AF. Also, I just realized JD Vance has the same first two initials, switched around, as his political daddy. That's just weird.

He actually changed his name.

They were all best friends, the fastest of friends for more than a decade. There's dozens of then-kids testifying about their serial sexual abuse. Release the goddam Trumpstein files!

People love to forget how chummy trump was with neoliberals for decades...

Sure, it's more likely for a Republican than a Democrat, but politicians from both parties were/are involved

Cuomo has a being a decent human being problem.

[–] LovingHippieCat@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Andrew Cuomo also happens to have an Andrew Cuomo problem.

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 month ago

New York has a Cuomo problem

[–] Stovetop@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Guys, it's all a misunderstanding. Like Trump says, just because you're a friend of Epstein and happened to go to all of his parties and be listed as receiving the "VIP treatment" at pedo island doesn't inherently make you a sex pest.

Being a Democrat star child, it's not surprising
