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!

Trump was one of the worst people Epstein ever met. Let that sink in.

[–] chaogomu@lemmy.world 66 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It gets worse. Epstein's business partner, Jean Luc Brunel, was described by John Casablancas as a man who always had date rape drugs on hand.

John Casablancas was a man who once bragged to the New Yorker Magazine (in a 1988 cover story) about seducing a 14 year old who won a rigged contest that he ran for Elite Model Management.

Trump then hosted that contest and then signed his then 13 year old daughter up to be a model, directly "mentored" by Casablancas.

Casablancas famously left his wife for Stephanie Seymour who was 16 at the time

Isn't that the dad of the guy from The Strokes?

[–] CaptSneeze@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Yes, though I know of no evidence that Julian Casablancas has any connections to his father’s sins beyond being a nepobaby.

[–] rajkopz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago

Totally agreed 👍🏼

Eh. Epstein is a particularly slimy and self serving person. You can't take anything he said in his emails at face value. For example, what exactly do you think the metric for that would be in Epstein's point of view? Obviously it's not fucking kids because Epstein never expressed any remorse or even acknowledgement that what he did was bad. I hate Trump too but Epstein isn't exactly a reliable narrator.

"How weird is it that a president has now had sex with another president?"

[–] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 53 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Considering there's never been a woman president and the country still hates gay people, it's kind of impressive.

[–] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 31 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Just remember the republican motto, "It's not gay if they're girls."

Also, "It's not gay if both dicks aren't out at the same time."

And, "It's not gay if only one guy cums."

And, "It's not gay if it's non-consensual."

And, "It's not gay if I'm the top."

And, "It's not gay if I'm a power bottom."

And, "It's not gay if the person filming it is laughing."

And, "It's not gay if it's in the airport bathroom."

It's a long list, but invaluable to those that are questioning their sexual identity, especially lawmakers.

That reads almost like the gay narcissist's prayer.

So kinda perfect for horrible closeted republican homophobes in general, and for mr president in particular.

Brojob, CHOO CHOO

"Bruh, hook it up! We gonna smash so many little girlies! You want some Melania for old time sake?"

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Surely phone records could end up being subpoenaed. Would love to see how frequently and when these fucks were talking to who.

[–] rayyy@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

The orange mobster railed about Nixon not destroying evidence. He will either alter, delete, or destroy evidence, maybe even manufacture fake timelines.

He wanted to celebrate. Had to order "The Usz..." (How does one spell a colloquial shortening of "usual", anyway?)

A better headline would have been “immediately after”

To tell him he’s NEVER going back to mar-a-Lago AGAIN! Cause he’s a creep! Good Trump!
