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.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

Hopefully the high school interns got lazy and they missed a few
Or entirely rewritten and replaced.
Really excited to hear people demanding the release of the release of the epstein files files.
I'm sure they'll get around to it in six, maybe seven years.
If they didn't want to immediately publish them for some reason, but still do it eventually, couldn't they have just published checksums of the scans to verify their authenticity later when released?
I may be overthinking this.
That would require thought
This shits never getting released.

We have flight logs that are a Who's Who of the rich and powerful. We have photographs of him and dozens of high profile businessmen and politicians. We have the Birthday Book. We have his Quora search history, ffs.
I don't know what else anyone is waiting for. At what point do we get a file drop that results in anything other than Ghislaine Maxwell getting a pardon? This feels like people coming in after the "Grab'em By The Pussy" video in 2016 insisting that there's a second, even more secret, even more derogatory film that Hillary refused to produce, but which would definitely have won her the election.
I came to that same realization a while ago and it's super depressing. Like, we have already hit a point where the truth matters so little. No one will accept evidence unless it comes from their in group. Everything else is fake. Confirmation bias is rampant and I don't see our dismal education standards turning that around any time soon.
It counts as the Epstein files whenever the media says it does I guess. I hate this species
