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!

But why would your judges and administration do that? Hmmmm

[–] sdcSpade@lemmy.zip 18 points 5 days ago

Yes, those would be the victims. Anything else?

[–] drhodl@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago

When YOU are a chief suspect, Donny 2 Weeks, then YOU don't get to decide who deserves to be on that list. It's not hard, magats !

[–] chosensilence@pawb.social 23 points 5 days ago

alright, so it didn't exist, but now that it does you should know there are innocent people unfairly mentioned even though before i won again i said every person on the list should be exposed.

He's the worst liar in history. Whenever he talks like this it turns out he's guilty of something. Every fucking time.

Also, it turns out Trump was born in Kenya.

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 21 points 5 days ago

How would he know that lol

[–] Blubber28@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Whatever happened to "do the crime, do the time" eh?

[–] moody 16 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Deserve? How does one end up on those files if one does not "deserve" it?

What a stupid fucking hat on a rapist, pedophile, felon, fascist piece of shit.

Cult of personality brainwashing 101

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 15 points 5 days ago

If it's good for him like gaining extra seats by redistricting Texas with blatant gerrymandering, he "deserves" it. If it's bad for him like being predominantly named in a neutral investigation with his well-documented relationship with a pedophile human trafficker and patronage of his services, he doesn't "deserve" it.

Trump is a narcissist who surrounded himself with sycophants. He is so far removed from reality at this point he should be locked in a padded cell.

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 15 points 5 days ago

No. It is real.

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 14 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

They say it’s number-one in history. What we’ve done, including stopping seven wars

Oh! Ooooh! I finally figured it out!

The elusive "they" he always mentions are Statler and Waldorf's ghosts from The Muppet Christmas Carol and no one else can see them.

There’s audio of him years ago saying the stuff about him in the Epstein files are lies

[–] Muaddib@sopuli.xyz 8 points 5 days ago

Cope! Furthermore, seethe!

[–] bluecat_OwO@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago

his cap says "trump was right about everything"

Brother you have contradicted everything that has ever come out of your mouth pussy, wdym xD

[–] III@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Ohhh... so Putin is in the Epstein files along with Trump. That makes sense.

[–] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Nah, I don't think Putin is that stupid.

I mean I'm sure Putin is a scum bag just like the rest of them, but he's not going to fly to a Kompromat farm controlled by his nation's enemies.

[–] Maiq@lemy.lol 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Id bet he has his own farm. I've said it before, the P tape isn't about urine.

Probably one of the few people I'd expect not to be on the list. I wouldn't be surprised he's a child abusing pedo, but he doesn't need to go halfway across the world to find vulnerable children the entire post soviet bloc is filled with them.

[–] ieatpwns@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I hope he lives long enough to feel the fallout from his name being on there

[–] Postmortal_Pop@lemmy.world 12 points 5 days ago

Honestly, I'll take it either way, I just want the fallout.

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Right, that's why they never released them.

Even these morons won't buy it

[–] octopus_ink@slrpnk.net 10 points 5 days ago

I feel like there needs to be a word for someone who tries to deflect from their obvious wrongdoings in a way that is almost identical in tone and comedic transparency to a stereotypical, cliche'd anime tsundere.

Whatever that word is, Trump is the iconic example of it.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 9 points 5 days ago

LOL, a "Democratic hoax" that his dumbfuck supporters have been chattering about for years now and never seem to let up on. Maybe he should ask his own FBI how this hoax came about.
