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!

Asked whether she believes this letter sounds “out of character” to her based on her experiences with both men, Williams replied incredulously: “What, are you kidding me? I know what they were up to together. It happened to me.”

“I have the post assault postcard with a love note,” she added, referring to a postcard of an aerial view of Mar-a-Lago she says Trump sent to her agent later in 1993. In what appeared to be black Sharpie, according to The Guardian, the card read: “Stacey – Your home away from home. Love Donald.”

i know he wasn't a credible person but Epstein said it himself lol. Trump and him were very, very close, especially for two men in the positions they were in. probably not "close" on an emotional level but close in partnership and depravity. Epstein knew too much detail about Trump for him to simply be lying and making shit up. listen to his own recorded conversations about Trump that came out last year (2024) and see for yourself. this is completely believable, i'm sure she's telling the truth.

She's older now, but for context, here's what she looked like at the time she was dating Epstein. Trump assaulted her in Trump Tower in the '90s in plain view of everyone.

Sorry if I am missing something, but what's the purpose?

I assume because a good portion of our society wouldn't believe someone would sexually assault someone who they didn't find attractive. Hell, some may even not care if they did sexually assault someone they didn't find attractive, they'd call them lucky. Like some do with men. So unfortunately. Her being attractive gives more believability to the population they are trying to reach.

Note Trump's lawyers used the defense that "she isn't my type" in his last sexual assault case. And then mistook that same woman's looks with his ex wife. Unfortunately it's bad people all around

Yeah, we know. Trump already told everyone, years ago. Nobody cared. We'll see if it ends up mattering this time.

Seems to have created more waves than any of the other stuff he's done but it seems like Republicans are getting to used to defending pedophilia.

It's easier to defend things if you like it yourself...

No, no, remember? They let you do it if you're famous! Just grab them by the pussy like the big fat Orange wad did. Its totally acceptable by our conservative society. Men, you give them a handshake. But women, you grab women by the pussy.

If you're famous enough you could gran two women by the pussy. One with your left hand, and one with your right! And if you're famous enough to be the master orange wad, you can grab all women by the pussy. You can even grab most foreign women by the pussy. Just ban abortion and make it illegal to get one. Remove their right to vote. Deport them etc. You can even kick them all out of the military, remove anyone from being able to help in any way, take away all their voice and the voice of anyone who might try to help them.

That's presidential.

I honestly don't think his base cares that he is a rapist. And I'm pretty convince adding child rapist does indeed make no difference. It's almost not just due process at this point it's just pure denial or acceptance.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Except that some of them actually do care, my friend. That's what we're seeing over the past week.
