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!

Until he is literally caught, on film, live, in the act having sex with a child, there’s no such thing as a PR disaster for this guy. Even then, millions will still vote for him.
It would have to be a young male child of color for even a small portion of his base to care.
Trump would just accuse Kamala of raping an even younger, even darker skinned child and his base would clap their hand and coo and drool and continue to babble on.
They’ve show they don’t care about the sexual abuse of young boys and they certainly don’t worry about such things as people of colour being human beings.
And even then 90% would say it was fake and AI generated
What, pray tell, do you think the Russian P-tape is? It has nothing to do with urine. The letters that follow the P are E D and O.
I wouldn’t put it past him, but at this point if such a thing surfaced his fans would just claim it was a deep fake. For it to work, it would have to be broadcast and lib in front of an audience. Even then, the cognitive dissonance might be too strong for many to overcome.
Remember how Rudy behaved in that hotel room in Borat 2? Imagine how these people act in a foreign nation where the wealthy, and corrupt politicians seemingly get to do (quite literally) anything they want.
Now imagine it's the 90s and Trump is close friends with perhaps the world's most prolific pedophile/pimp...
If it isn't an underage sex tape, then it's him fucking his own daughter. What else could it be?
