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!

If anyone else was linked or even hinted at being linked to something like this, they'd be in prison before you could say howdy there.

And if it was a dem, republicans wouldn't stop crying about that for years.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 55 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

We're still hearing about hunter bidens laptop. I'm surprised they finally shut up about Obamas tan suit.

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 22 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

STARBUCKS WHILE SALUTING AND MARINE HOLDING THE UMBRELLA!

But baby murder and raping 13-yo is fine if it's Trump. Ffs

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 4 hours ago (3 children)

Tan suit.

He put his feet on the desk.

He likes Dijon mustard.

Well yeah obviously; don't you know that as long as it's a REPUBLICAN who is raping pregnant children and murdering newborn infants, that's what makes it okay?

APPARENTLY??? SOMEHOW?????

They'd break their fingers clutching their pearls.

The man who demonizes innocent trans peoples as a threat to society is literally a child murderer.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 7 points 7 hours ago

And pedophile sex trafficker and serial rapist.

[–] ImgurRefugee114@reddthat.com 119 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Pro life MAGAts about to reach a whole new level of disingenuous whataboutisms

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 101 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

The baby was born already. They couldn't give two shits what happened to it.

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 59 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Must be one of those "post birth abortions" Trump ranted about on the campaign trail.

"Every accusation is a confession." This statement gets more true by the hour.

[–] Draegur@lemmy.zip 17 points 7 hours ago

"Every accusation is a confession"

With all the shit Q-Anon claimed in mind,

I would not be surprised at all if it turned out the Republican party has a child rape dungeon under a pizza parlor somewhere.

Where's the pizzagate folks when you need them?

[–] meco03211@lemmy.world 45 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

One I know is basically saying it's pointless. That neither side will be happy with the results and tries to say he cares about "all the other stuff going wrong". One example he's currently focusing on... the 2020 election. Apparently the Fulton County issue that just popped up recently is proof the entire election was rigged.

[–] sunbrrnslapper@lemmy.world 14 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Well let's see if we can motivate this guy into getting back into to pizzagate. He's right that neither side will be happy - and that's cause there are gross people in power from the full political spectrum and across many kinds of busineses. But this may be an issue where politics should be fully set aside.

It would be easier to count who didn’t.

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 21 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I'm actually pretty surprised by the baby murder

Not expecting it but not surprised. The man only considers the value of a person's life in what they can do for them.

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 9 points 6 hours ago

I mean, most of us

[–] EtAl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 69 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Does anyone remember when it was just Trump blowing Bill Clinton and/or a horse? Those were the days.

[–] muxika@lemmy.world 18 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

This show stopped making sense years ago. Too many hack writers, too many crazy ideas.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 17 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

We had the sense not to pick up the second season but for some idiotic reason we were sold the third.

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 7 points 5 hours ago (4 children)

Every day I wonder what the US would look like now if Trump was leaving the WH in 2025

Sure, but now there is actual evidence of things

[–] Draegur@lemmy.zip 58 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Half this fucking country believes raping children and murdering newborn babies is okay as long as a republican is doing it.

There is no justice.

They made sure of that.

All there can ever even POSSIBLY be now is vengeance.

All it will take is the right people in the right places doing the right thing just ONCE for each of them.

But I know better than to hope.

Yeah but what about that time when Obama wore a tan suit?

[–] lettruthout@lemmy.world 16 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

And wasn’t there a major commotion about mustard at one point?

[–] inb4_FoundTheVegan@lemmy.world 11 points 8 hours ago

Djion-gate! Fancy president isn't a man of the people!

[–] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 46 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Who CARES if Trump RAPES PREGNANT CHILDREN and then Post Birth Abortions the Baby! There's REAL Problems going on in the Country like DEMOCRATS KILLING BABIES!

[–] thesohoriots@lemmy.world 25 points 9 hours ago

“Who hasn’t murdered a baby, folks?… I was there for JonBenet’s last breath… the 1991 Austin yogurt-shop murders — they made a great sorbet, I might add… all of the best American kid killings of the last 40 years, really…”

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 23 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

And raped the mom who was also 13 and pregnant. WTF!!!! Get him! Knowing all this they let him be president????? Who? Get them too! WTF! Its Christian Eve! Let us be alone for at Least a day! I don't want to know more and just sit here and pretend that my vote is of any consequence. I want the electoral college gone, the whole bunch of rats out and justice for everyone hurt. Dang. I don't know what even to do. I gotta work all day every day and he gets to do all that and be president and pester other nations in our name! WTF! Get him out!

[–] bearboiblake@pawb.social 4 points 5 hours ago

Yeah because it's a systemic issue. It's not just a few bad apples, it's the entire way we let people have power and authority over other people. It's about how we fetishize and idealize youth, and how we use patriarchy and violence to control people. We will just keep seeing this happen, again and again and again and again, until we either accept that humans should all be equal and free with no power over eachother, or until we go extinct.

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 21 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Wow, he also kills babies!!! WTF.

Okay, maybe I'm stupid or something, but didn't the founding fathers build into this thing some sort of way to remove people like this?

Why doesn't any other authority, by the power vested in them, arrest the guy? He was in the plane with Epstein many times, he was raping girls at the island and murdering babies. He also bankrupted a freaking casino! A casino! Yeah, like murdering a baby doesn't sound worse than bankruptcy of a casino. Why?

Anyone else would be in jail so deep up some dark hole already. But not the orange Teflon lard pile. We can't even complain about it or publish work showing the evils he's done without some sort of danger of disappearance.

We voted! Do something about it Republicans!

So much for the party of pro-life

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 10 points 5 hours ago

This is 100% true because Trump would definitely do this. I don't need to see any further evidence, thank you, lock him up.

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 5 points 47 minutes ago

Was it his spawn with Satan?

[–] SpiceDealer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 hour ago

I talked to him for about 20 or 30 minutes about my being sex trafficked by my uncle and Jeffrey Epstein in 1984 while I was 13 and [pregnant] ...

Hmm, this really pushes the timeline of the Trump-Epstein friendship back some years. In this 2002 New York Magazine interview, he says that he's known Epstein for 15 years (circa. 1987). But this murder happened in 1984, how long had they actually known each other?
