Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

sounds like we'll get a release of the epstein files with one name missing. That seems strictly better than no epstein file release.
No, it sounds worse. What good is the testimony of a "witness/convict" that you threaten and bribe? It's not, it's nothing. Well, if you put it together with the Epstein Files, that might be something. Which is what we already knew.
I think you knew it too, but maybe a few other readers didn't.
You do realize I was talking about the epstein files right? Seeing as I said "epstein file" in both sentences that I wrote.
Oh I see what you're saying. You're saying that you posted your comment in the wrong place and that you didn't actually care about the article mentioned above. Okay, in that case we agree.
Except even then we don't agree. If the idea is that they are going to release the files without one name, that means they're actually going to doctor the files, which makes them totally worthless.
Even if the list had no apparent omissions, how could you verify it wasn't doctored? Generally, we don't tend to consider redactions as the same thing as doctoring.
Please, detail the differences you see between redacting and doctoring.
okay well, when one doctors something generally you're trying to pass it off as though it's unmodified. When you redact something, you're being explicit that something is removed. Make sense?
