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!

The video shows a totally different cell than the original news pictures yeah.
So what was the point of it? And why does it matter if was edited?
It matters because that missing minute is when he actually died. One minute he's alive, the next he's dead.
I mean if it’s not even his cell, what’s the point of the video
The usual: buffoonish attempts at distraction.
I completely agree. My confusion is with the people who are being critical of the coverup still seem to be missing the point that the video is irrelevant in the first place.
The video may as well have been of Disney world. I don’t know why anyone cares about the edit and I don’t believe all the people talking about the edit are complicit in the coverup.
Ah the only explanation is you're on the video killing Epstein. Have fun in prison why does the truth matter?
I’m saying if the video isn’t even of his cell, what’s the point of the video and if it’s edit? Who cares about some random cell?
You can’t be that fucking oblivious.
I think you’re not understanding what I’m saying. You’re rhetoric is ironic.
In case you’ve been in a box, no one is really talking about this point. They are more concerned about the video being edited rather than completely irrelevant.
The point I am making, which seems to be difficult for people to interpret even they they are calling me stupid, is if the video isn’t even irrelevant why does any even care that it is edited. And secondly, why is there no articles pointing out how misleading the video is.
What rhetoric?
I think you’re not understanding a blatant attempt at an obvious cover-up. It matters because we are being openly lied to by the government.
Basically what happened is that they released a video of the wrong cell and then removed a minute from that video in order to confuse people.
Thanks, captain obvious.
Are you that fucking oblivious to your own rhetoric? You just said
It’s obvious it’s a cover up. The assessment of the coverup is confusing. I’ve already stated why I find other people’s assessment of the coverup confusing. I shouldn’t have to repeat it again while being called oblivious
You don't know what rhetoric means.
And apparently, yeah, you are that oblivious. It’s not that confusing, like, at all. Politicians are lying and making shit up because most of them are on Epstein’s list of clients.
Language that is elaborate, pretentious, insincere, or intellectually vacuous.
Ok. Now explain how that pertains to what I was saying.
