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!

Hmm, why would Donald Trump not want Epstein's client list to see the light of day?

Donald Trump smiling with his arm around Epstein.

The problem is very likely not just his name.

Don't let this pedophile ring get away with it.

Not just Orange Soufflé, the whole lot.

These people need to suffer for their abject crimes.

Exactly what a guilty person would say.

Release the files!

I bet he thought it would be another "read the transcripts" moment.

[–] [email protected] 52 points 1 day ago

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER.

Trump: “Maybe deporting Rosie O’Donnell will change the 4 Chan news cycle”

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Even r/Conservative was defending her. He’s losing his base faster than I expected.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 13 hours ago

Hopefully soon they'll wonder why they're putting so much effort into defending someone who never takes his foot out of his mouth.

At this point, I'm pretty sure bondi was one of Epsteins honey pots

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 day ago

I don't understand... couldn't they come up with partial files that don't have his name all over them... or would that trigger others who are on the list to show their proof?

But no, they show poorly edited security footage... with the metadata.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 day ago

Epstein list plz.

This is the most "Consciousness of Guilt" thing I've ever read.

Malignant narcissists truly cannot help themselves.

What’s going on with my “boys” and, in some cases, “gals?”

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

What the fuck is superimposed over buscemi‘s face?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

My next sleep paralysis demon

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Thought something was off with that.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 21 hours ago

Not going to fix it or anything just going to freak out everybody who looks at it lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 21 hours ago

It's very hard to take him serious when he goes on rants like this. He's just scared he will end up in prison because he is in fact on the list.

I saw it posted on a meme community and had the same reaction. Really incredible.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

She's doing a "fantastic job" covering for him.

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

I like that he signs off his tweets as if it's an email.

"Crooked Hilary is awful. Yours sincerely, realDonaldTrump"

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You know Bondi has a copy of those files on a deadman switch, ready to be emailed.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

You give her way too much credit.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Just to clarify, why didn't Democrats release them?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 20 hours ago

Yeah, both parties had folks on the list and too many rich political contribuiters were on the list. The Epstein files will go the way of the Nixon 18.5 minute tape recording.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago

I think most of us think enough high profile dems were on it to really bring the parties together in a bipartisan effort.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 21 hours ago

they're on them too.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 21 hours ago

While I think there’s powerful people on there who told dems not to release I also think trump is all over that list and that Biden wouldn’t release that knowing the maga base would start a literal civil war in response

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

Nothing to see here folks, move along, move along.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

Epstein was Innocent!

-Republicans!
