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!

I'm a Republican and I LOVE Pedophiles! That's why I voted for Child Rapist Jeffrey Epstein's BEST FRIEND who is now doing EVERYTHING he can to Protect JEFFREY EPSTEIN from calling his CHILD RAPING a Hoax to FIRING people who Brought Child Rapist Jeffrey Epstein to Justice! Either that or it's the LiBRUls fault somehow! Wait that's it!

Are the libs TRIGGERED yet? I'm a Republican politician AND my entire platform is to TRIGGER the LIBS by ANY means necessary

In any remotely plausible timeline, history books would tell of this moment as one of the key elements of the fall of the Trump regime, brought on by a complete and total collapse of support.

Unfortunately, we are on a fucking roll with the chaos d20 lately. So hold on to your butts. :|

Yup, this won't amount to anything. A few supporters might support him less, but they won't be switching support to anyone who's a decent human being.

I’m not convinced it’s gonna evaporate yet, but I’m also not convinced that even staunch public fury is going to do fucking anything. Because they’re fascists. And such a public reaction could very well convince Steven “Goebbels was such a champ” Miller and friends that it’s simply time to stop pretending we have any actual trappings of democracy going forward.

I wish her the best of luck and sincerely hope I am wrong, but I would be completely unsurprised if there was a Tragic Accident in the next 18 months

It’s a significant risk as she has probably read all the files and knows the answers. They will want to get her before she writes a book now that she is free.

[–] thann@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 days ago

Its a real tragedy whats about to befall her

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

This will certainly put those allegations to bed.

Incoming: we found that the Crooked Comey Family™©® (yes that Comey) made yet another hoax! but thankfully the Warrior of True Justice Pam Bondi saved the day by firing this despicable woman! We can all rest easy now knowing that Epstein did nothing wrong and was Framed! Democrat Hoax!!

Did someone say... Buttery males?

Can't wait to hear all about it, once she publishes her book.
