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!

Karoline Leavitt, the press secretary for Donald Trump’s campaign, provided a statement denying the allegations, which said in part: “These accusations, made by a former activist for Barack Obama and announced on a Harris campaign call two weeks before the election, are unequivocally false. It’s obvious this fake story was contrived by the Harris campaign.”

I dunno, it sure seems like a pattern of behavior.

White, blonde, mid-20s. She doesn't know she's a potential victim too.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago

Oh, shit. Hadn't looked her up. It's only a matter of time.

Surprised she was that old? Me too. Seems a little too old for both of them.

If there’s a solid Epstein link with young girls, that could actually damage Trump.

Something tells me those that are already voting for him will not care. The Republican headquarters in my town has a vote felon sign up.

Actual video evidence of trump raping a screaming crying child would not change these people's minds, they do not subscribe to reality

[–] [email protected] 30 points 6 days ago

Will it change the mind of the hardcore MAGA base? Absolutely not. Will it make a large number of people switch from Trump to Harris? Probably not. It could, however, make some of the more reluctant Trump voters simply say fuck it and stay home.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 6 days ago

There's already a ton of links that have been proven, even video. None of this will make a difference, that's already factored in. His voters are fine with him being a rapist.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Oh this thime they'll get him. This time for real. This isn't some treason or other rape alligation. This is real

[–] Rapidcreek 1 points 6 days ago

Somehow, I think we have different ideas what the word damage means.

[–] idiomaddict 13 points 6 days ago

I can’t think of a type of person for whom this is the line.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Are you high? What makes you think that?

[–] Rapidcreek 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Primarily due to the right's obsession with pedophilia and Epstien as well as he died under Trump and would make a juicy conspiracy. But, excuse me for having a opinion other than yours.

[–] BrokenGlepnir 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

These guys believe that epstien dying in federal prison under the purview of donald trump was a Clinton job. I don't trust them to have their minds changed.

[–] Rapidcreek 0 points 6 days ago

Shrug...

This is a non story at this point.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 days ago

So anyway, all the tankies want you to vote for shill stein to help the serial pedophile/sexual deviant/criminal.

This is the tankie God lmao
