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.

- 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.

Now hold on, we don't yet know if he was transgender or not.
If he was they'd be dead-naming him already.
Are you sure? I'm pretty certain Fox News and OAN will say he's also a Democrat soon.
It's fox still playing that game?
The Daily Show did a whole bit about it at one point.
I imagine they're not going to fix what isn't broken here.
He once contributed a dollar to a charity in the grocery store line when he was 12. Clearly a closted Democrat.
They'll probably label him a drag queen after the fact
Why is Trump surrounded by so many pedos? How odd.
They understand him. They’ve had similar backgrounds and experiences in life.
I'd have though he'd gravitate more towards his fellow rapists.
Maybe he doesn't want competition.
Why cant he be a rapist AND pedophile?
A federal judge in New York has ordered counsel for Donald Trump and the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein to appear in court along with the attorney for a woman referred to only as “Jane Doe” who alleges the Republican presidential nominee raped her when she was 13.

So whenever I read about this Minnesota proposed Trump derangement law, all I will think about how this is a person behind it, and he is a senator who wanted to pay to diddle children.
Shout out to OP for making that headline what the Fox affiliate refused to title it.
Paedos are mentally ill and so are MAGAs. I'll say it again, people who are trying to get into positions of power should be tested for mental illness.
A lot of these leaders only wanted power because they like to have power over people. For nefarious reasons. They want to abuse that power in various ways.
The only checks and balances for getting into a powerful position in Trump's cult is that you are a good manipulator, you already have money/power and you will kiss Trump's ass as necessary. Therefore the cult attracts every type of asshole.
I'm really at the point of thinking we need to make being a politician VERY unappealing even. Maybe when you leave office (term limited) you have to give up ALL your possessions and aren't allowed to get a job or have a Bank account and you have to rely solely on public services for a year.
They'd still do it. That would mean only the wealthy can afford to do it and donors would step in no matter what rules existed. Here in the UK, even our shortest surviving prime minister, whose political reign didn't outlive a lettuce after she crashed the stock market, makes serious bank now just on the lecture tour etc. Our other PM had a very wealthy spouse and didn't declare conflicts of interest - nothing was done.
Politician should be a term of endearment; a person who dedicates their time to directly improving their communities.
Corrupt politicians are where the problem lies - the solution there is to make a few cuts.
I've heard it as: Those who seek authority over others are automatically unqualified to wield it.
Oh man this is even better than I hoped
This has to be a speedrun record for the maga->exposed pedo pipeline any%
Do people still calculate mooches?
It's almost dizzying at this point. Trump has very clearly reached out to people who are blatantly into illegal stuff. Like some criminal blackhole.
Maybe he can share a cell Preacher Morris. For an hour until Trump pardons them and claims it was fake.
Can't pardon state charges.
Do you think Donald Trump will let that stop him?
Ah, yes, good call.
Who's the deranged one...???
😂 🤣 🖕 🖕
Thers HUGE overlap between people who make their decision-making off some fucking Bronze age books and those who wanna use power to fuck kids
I'm just saying
They’re going to promote that man.
After he gets pardoned
How the hell are all these guys pedos? Are there just way more pedos in the world than I thought, or are they just all republicans? Either way, it's a pretty fucking high batting avg for these guys
Based on the Kaiser’s Adverse Childhood Events study, about 20% of people are sexually abused as children in the US. It’s a much bigger problem than people realize.
Lock him up!
Where are all the MAGA anti-pedo's? Seems like it's just crickets when these cases come up within MAGA, but they are raiding inncocent pizza places without a basement chasing conspiracy theories.
Thought I was on theonion for a second
Honestly at this point I’m not even surprised anymore, what kinds of people would propose these kind of bills?
