Rules:

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.

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.

His plan is to tell Ukraine to stop fighting and just let it happen.

If it's good enough for the woman he rapes it's good enough for Ukraine.

I’ve been digging into the whole rape thing, correct me if I’m wrong but it looks a lot like a smear campaign than anything else, that is which to say, there is zero evidence he did this and yet the mainstream media has been instructed to go hard with it lately to perhaps persuade the public to vote against him… thoughts?

“As the court explained in its recent decision denying Mr Trump’s motion for a new trial on damages and other relief [in the New York case] … based on all of the evidence at trial and the jury’s verdict as a whole, the jury’s finding that Mr Trump ‘sexually abused’ Ms Carroll implicitly determined that he forcibly penetrated her digitally – in other words, that Mr. Trump, in fact, did ‘rape’ Ms. Carroll as that term commonly is used and understood in contexts outside of the New York penal law.” - Lewis A. Kaplan: Senior Judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.

A civil court conviction seems like enough for me

He’s been on Epsteins plane 7 times. He was his friend.

Trump also knew Epstein liked “younger girls”.

It’s all in court documents

By “digging into” do you mean “reading about it on truth social”? Because that is the only way in which someone might look into this situation and conclude trump isn’t guilty

I use twitter because it has the community notes thing and tends to allow both sides of the spectrum to state their views

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

It's virtually impossible to smear Trump, because what could you come to with that's worse than the truth?

thoughts?

Ever the optimist I see

Everyone knows this, but it's difficult to point out how dogshit Trump's "plan" is if he refuses to state what his actual plan is.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Did he say he had a plan? I thought he said he could end the war.

And when Putin asks Trump to accept the end of Ukraine and no longer accept the Ukrainian language as separate from Russian, he will immediately do some executive orders.
