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!

Blames Hillary, Obama and Biden for the Epstein Files, which also don't exist.

I love that he's getting torched by his own.

I'll believe that when I see it. Till then, all MAGAt morons are pro- pedofilia and they'll fall back into line once Faux News Entertainment tells them to.

I honestly believe that they could release the files with his name still in them & the majority of his cult would still make excuses for him.

It's amazing how they are pro-pedophilia (due to their continued support and blindness towards all the real pedophiles around them) but screech about looking for pedophiles everywhere, or at least they were a few years ago! How can anyone trust these people when they support the thing they purport to loathe. When will this all blow up?

Add in the criminality of Trump and Co, and these guys are looking in all the wrong places!

It's the party of projection. Everything they talk about is solely because that's what they are doing/would do if given the opportunity.

Republicans have repeatedly tried to stop child marriage and mandatory reporting laws for decades now. It seems obvious at this point that the GOP is perfectly fine with kids getting raped as long as its one of their own doing the raping.

Do you know any kids who have been married at age 12? I do. And guess what? They're still married.

Republican Mike Moon

And John Rose met his wife judging a 4H contest.

(Fun fact: you can’t file for divorce as a minor)

Also as a mandatory reporter in the state of Oklahoma… hahhahahahahahah. I just wrote an affidavit about how seriously CPS takes shit.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

They think lack of divorce means successful marriage.

It’s the art of war 101, accuse your enemy of what your you yourself are already doing. In this case, it’s the rape of children, the president is a rapist, president rapist JFC

A trump supporter I know, always brings up politics, which I avoid when talking to them.

The past month or so, they have not brought it up at all. So, I think I’m starting to see it.

Oh I finally called my sister out for voting for him once my dad admitted he did and she went all in on the "well he didn't even need to win our state so my vote didn't matter." I said bitch you flew the flag which influenced others and bought his shit so it financed him, what you did mattered! So yeah I think she is feeling guilty so I made sure to make it worse.

[–] nkat2112@sh.itjust.works 6 points 14 hours ago

It takes courage to do what you're doing and you have my support. All the very best to you.

[–] womjunru@lemmy.cafe 8 points 23 hours ago

Yeah, I also doubt that. No one cares on the MAGA side
