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!

Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

This administration sure does love protecting sex criminals.

[–] Eldritch@piefed.world 11 points 16 hours ago

Not just the administration. Tate is the old timey type of misogynist conservatives long for a return to.

He probably knows something.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 1 points 1 hour ago

Tbf that would be news

[–] santa@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 hours ago

You mean the criminal convicted of a sex crime sitting in wh is protecting sex criminals?! I would’ve never thought he would do such a thing! /s

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 38 points 19 hours ago

Just comically evil at this point.

Even to some big conservative names, Tate is radioactive. DeSantis didn't want them in Florida, for example.

Trump really does reflexively protect sex criminals even when nobody was asking.

[–] altkey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 16 hours ago

Tate has $$$, is in the people-traffic scene and is/was popular with teens, that's all he needs to know.

Sex pests of a feather molest chicks together.

There's nothing that MAGA love more than sexual assault and human trafficking

[–] Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 14 hours ago

"accused"? They literally found women being held against their will at his building. The only reason he isn't rotting in a Romanian prison for human trafficking is Donald Trump.

Makes sense. Trump been looking for a new hookup ever since Epstien didn't kill himself.

The white house is for the people, by the people!

The people being pedophiles and rapists.
