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!

Wait, I thought he never doodled though? What else could he have lied about??!

[–] defaultusername@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think the list of what he didn't lie about would be much, much shorter.

His name is way less pubie than early mockups illustrated.

Still creepy AF.

Also, Trump doesn’t know how to draw boobs.

[–] NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 149 points 1 day ago (7 children)

He was drawing underdeveloped prepubescent breasts.

You're welcome.

Even if we ignore the doodle

And that given all we know about about trump and Epstein, we know that the inside joke between them here is about pedophila, or at the very least about them being creepy misogynistic sex pests.

And let's assume that despite everything we know about them that somehow this is about something inane, like a shared love of football, or model railroading, or going to McDonald's for hamberders or something.

Can we agree that this is just a really fucking weird and creepy way to write a birthday letter? Someone tells you they're going to put together a book of letters from friends for someone's birthday and this is what you spit out? The script of some weird scenario you imagined where the two of you are responding to a voiceover and jerking each other off about your shared hobby?

If I got a letter, card, Facebook post, message, etc. like this from someone I know, I'd ask them if they're alright because that's a fucking weird way to send a birthday message.

"Risque"? What happened to "bawdy"?

[–] roofTophopper@lemmy.world 28 points 8 hours ago (4 children)

This whole Epstein stuff is a test of how willing some people are to gargle balls and simply believe a "nope, didn't do it" defense.

It's been said time and time again, man could literally decapitate multiple people on national TV, camera zoomed in, and still drop the "nope, didn't do" line at the end and his cult would agree.

Late 2015/early 2016, Trump himself said that he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not lose any votes.

Yup.

Anyone still ignoring...fuck...where do I even begin? The probable pedophilia. The repeated violations of the Constitution. The felonies. The rape conviction. The open admission of sexual assault. The clear abuse of the stock market for his personal gain. Threatening American cities with the military.

It just goes on and on. Anyone still ignoring this is undeniably a traitor to the United States of America. So, basically, every fucking conservative in this country.

These people aren't just misled anymore. They're our enemies. They're America's enemies. Period.

Good, awesome, great, now release the Epstein files.

[–] lmagitem@lemmy.zip 23 points 9 hours ago (4 children)

I don't get it. They all know it. There are court testimonies. Knowing 10% of the facts, even a child with two brain cells can make the connection. Why are they all acting like it's the-thing-that-must-not-be-named or something?

[–] b161@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

It’s fucking “risqué” is it you bunch of sick fucking pedos??

This is nothing. This is crumbs for the plebians. Unless this little thing leads to more, it's just a distraction.

If this keeps it in the limelight though, then that's very good. As long as it leads to what's important. Arrest and imprison the entire executive branch for treason, and everyone else involved.

Release all the Epstein files unredacted.

RELEASE THOSE DAMNED TRUMP/EPSTEIN FILES ALREADY YOU PEDOPHILE

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

So, where's the rest of the book? Let's get all of it.
