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!

Jesus...HE IS A PEDOPHILE. Who the fuck strategizes over messaging to protect a pedophile? Sick fucks.

Fascists, psychopaths, other pedophiles...

It's a GOP leadership event, so every attendee is probably all 3.

See innocent folks wouldn’t have to “strategize” about releasing files full of pedophiles - they’d just do it.

Come on everybody needs the chance to get the story straight before questioning. How else would they know what story to tell?

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I have a very simple solution.

Release the files, and if he’s in any of the unmodified files impeach Trump in both the house and senate.

"Alright klan, how do we normalize raping children?"

Ya know, there's an entire organization within the US government who's whole job it is to prevent this kind of discrimination (that isn't actually happening).

The CFPB

Which organization has Trump (and the Republicans in general) tried to get rid of over and over again?

The CFPB

[–] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 month ago

How is the CFPB at all related to this?

This is like a game of Clue with Vance. Someone gonna die using a candlestick in the library

"Trump. On the tarmac. With the boarding stairs."

I'm surprised they're not having it at that same Balmoral cabin.

Isn’t this the photo that was taken at one of the Queen’s cottages or something? One of places the Queen used to let her pedo son go wild with his pedo friends

[–] DrFistington@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Sounds like a good place for an impromptu gun show
