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!

When you're wondering about all that is still hidden, never forget this gem:

“Recall ive told you , i have met some very bad people , none as bad as trump. not one decent cell in his body”

That's Epstein -- with his own endless sordid secrets -- saying that about Trump.

I'm convinced that Nicole Brown Simpson was killed by the Epstein network because through OJ she had found out what was happening and was disgusted and threatened to expose them.

[–] ChunkMcHorkle@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

I remember that whole thing pretty well: Nicole Brown Simpson was killed in the summer of 1994 and of course no one was talking about anything else for most of 1995, which was the arrest and trial. "If it fits, you must acquit," remember? These were the days of Windows 3.1 and 3.11, and I even had a screensaver of a little white Bronco very slowly being chased horizontally by a couple blinky blinky cop cars. It was good for a laugh.

But Epstein was not a part of that Hollywood set at all, as far as I ever knew. I could be wrong, but California was not really Epstein's world, Epstein was very busy with robbing Wes Lexner blind in NY and Ohio at the time, and there was always more than enough history in regard to OJ's ongoing excessive, abusive behavior toward Nicole to explain why OJ did it, if he did it.

So when I read your comment, it seems a bit of an uphill climb, to be honest. Is there evidence that made you think that? I'd be interested in hearing it if you'd like to share.

Nothing a march on Washington Albania style wouldn’t fix

Summary for context:

Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime assistant said she personally arranged multiple phone calls between the disgraced pedophile financier and Donald Trump in the years before he became president.

Um, to tell him to stooooooop it. He's already said that.🙄

Genuinely unsure if I remember him saying he told him to stop and was the "one to turn him in," or if the substances I am using to cope with reality have finally warped it enough for me to remember days like shitty episodes from my favorite show.

I still don’t understand why Virginia Giuffre regards Trump as a gentleman

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 11 points 9 hours ago

She doesn't regard anyone as anything anymore, we all know why

Aren't "gentlemen" just entitled assholes with inherited wealth?

[–] voidsignal@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

A shocker, really.
