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!

Upcoming Headline: The entire judicial system fell out a window and shot itself 13 times in the back.
Man, I worry about the victims and innocent associates getting caught up in this. Surely those powerful enough to rape kids with Epstein were powerful enough to fight to keep their name out of the disclosure, a possibility mentioned in the article?
I do believe I remember reading that individuals could still appeal their inclusion.
is this going to be like that reddit safe thing
Turns out that Epstein brokered crimes for a lot of people whose names were solid black lines. It must be more common moniker than I thought.
Doesn't matter. It'll be just like the Panama Papers. There will be no accountability from anyone including the public.
woooohooooo finnallly! there is a whole cahort of scumbags sweatin this one out... the question is, will this lead to anything at all or will they just use this to focus on and harass the victims
Anyone who did not successfully fight to keep their name out of the civil case
So no. The rich and powerful are protected.
awwwwwwfuuuuuuuuuck thats just garbage. and i see this is just a freakin civil case
in america you can rape buy and sell children as long as youre rich enough
Lemmy is seeming more and more like a collection of useful idiots farming cynicism every day.
Hopefully the names can be released. Good to see from the judge.
