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!

Photos and videos from Epstein's island.

Remember the pee tape? My money is on it actually existing and that it happened not in Russia, but on Epstein's island. I'm also willing to bet it's just one small piece of evidence in a pile of photos and videos obtained from the island by Putin, and I also bet it's the most tame bit of footage he has on him.

I'll never forget the way Jack Smith looked at him in court, it was the most pure look of hatred and disgust I've ever seen.
Jack saw some shit in piles of evidence obtained from Trump's various priorities, that's not a look you give someone that only stole documents.

I disagree with your reasoning, I 'm confident his base would react more negatively to him being peed on by two consenting adults (which might not actually be the case; trafficking of adults is a thing) than him raping children, so long he takes 'masculine' role.

I've always thought that it's "P" (edo) tape and not pee.

[–] aaaa@piefed.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

There's a lot of people mixing up info like this. The "pee tape" refers to something from the original Steele dossier that claimed he had Russian prostitutes pee on a bed that Obama had previously slept in.

Not that the details matter all that much, because it may or may not be true, and I don't think it would change anything either way.
