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!

A hand job is still a job, Officer!
Sir, this is a Wendy's, and I clearly already have a job. Now, do you want fries with that or not?
Meh. Lemme know when they have evidence of the minors. I have no problem with adults trading money for sex. Sure, he might have lied about it, but that can be explained by the stigmatization of the act by society.
Don't get me wrong. I hate the guy. But this is pretty not-so-damning in my mind.
Selling is legal. Fucking is legal. Why isn't selling fucking legal?
Because if you could buy sex, then the rest of our economy collapses.
Or only the rich get to indulge while the rest of us are punished.
Either way. Prolly more options.
It's a George Carlin quote.
Cool.
Only the rich get to indulge
Literally 1984
Her profile showed 17 years old at the time, but something tells me you aren't actually looking for the proof, because that already exists.
Maybe that would be true if he was personally paying for sex, but he was paying her to have sex with other men. That muddies the waters alot. There's an assumption of control since he's rich and well connected. To me this isn't much different than what Espsein was doing. Flying girls to islands for sexual favors with business partners.
It didn't matter initially when it was a child, why would it matter now that it's a woman instead?
Because one is acceptable to the GQP. The other is not.
You seem to have some pretty concrete ideas about what our Esteemed Colleagues on the Right Side of the Aisle would accept, that I don't think they would necessarily share.
edit: I'm saying they have loose morals 🙄
Well at least it was a woman and not an underage cuban boy.
He's got one of those too.

He will never not look like the bad guy in a movie.
Maybe if it's a Lego movie
