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!

Johnson claimed that Trump violently raped her when she was 13 at a 1994 orgy hosted by Jeffrey Epstein — the billionaire who was convicted in 2008 of soliciting an underage girl for prostitution and has been accused of having sex with more than 30 underage girls.

Johnson said Trump had sexual contact with her at four of those parties, including tying her to a bed and violently raping her in a “savage sexual attack.” The lawsuit said Johnson “loudly pleaded” with Trump to stop, but that he responded by “violently striking Plaintiff in the face with his open hand and screaming that he would do whatever he wanted.”

It is amazing how there is no line that Trump/GOP are willing to cross for this man. I've never seen a guy make so many people admit they have no moral backbone at all. Everything they hate and say other groups are he is.

Criminal ✅

Con-Man ✅

Rapist ✅

Racist (They enjoy this.) ✅

Hostile insurrection. ✅

~~Criminal ✅~~ Illegal Democrat Witch Hunt

~~Con-Man ✅~~ Media Lies

~~Rapist ✅~~ Fake News

~~Racist (They enjoy this.) ✅~~ Democrats are the real DEI racists.

~~Hostile insurrection. ✅~~ Peaceful protest.

Unfortunately for them this is what that list is.

We live in 2 or more realities existing simultaneously due to the real scum of the earth: propagandists.

I don't get why people are down voting you. This is exactly it. They have an infinite layer of lies on lies to spin all of this stuff.

Whoops I missed the last line! My bad.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yeah man, Trumpists and Propagandists, two mutually exclusive groups...

[–] sgtgig 9 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Most Trumpists have been duped by propagandists. It's more comforting to them to believe the fake news talking points than to admit "their guy" is actually a vile waste of skin.

I think its also that "free speech" has become "you can lie to anyone for any reason and recieve almost no consequences" and in the age where media can be pushed and spun faster than it can be read there's just no way our existing system can handle it.

This is why there's a clear parallel to the 1940s where broadcast mediums pretty much did the same thing.

Now everyone has a megaphone and you get extra money if it snags eyeballs.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Yep, spot on. When you read trough their new media and their forums, this is ant it comes down to.

Try asking a Democrat to name one thing that Biden could do that would make them not vote for him.

To be fair, though, I don't think that Biden would've gotten the nomination if he were as scummy as Trump.
