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.

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.

gotta keep the deflect up from the epstein files

If bombing civilians and kidnapping heads of state is the level of deflection we're at, then "Trump is a pedophile" could not even be the worst thing to come out of the Epstein files.

[–] logicbomb@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The Epstein files already have revealed allegations of infanticide against Trump.

But realistically, Trump's personality doesn't require him to compare the two things. He has one thing that he doesn't want to do and it makes him look weak. And then he thinks people might be distracted if he does this other thing that he really really wants to do, anyways.

We're lucky somebody must have kept Trump from dropping nuclear bombs on Venezuela.

Yeah, but third time is a charm, as they say. He surrounded himself with lunatics that may be worse than him.

Fuck off with your epstein files. It is terrible what happened to the epstein files and should be released but there are still ton of terrible things happening even worst thsn Epstein

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Idk, Epstein being Mossad pretty much ensures every document leading to heinous stuff.

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

How doing another very hineous thing like this is a good deflection from the files and other hineous things?

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 2 points 4 days ago

Like how many illegal regime changes have been effected so a particular state can retain a currency hegemony, including via proxy wars and proxy terrorism.

The thing is, these files have the power to stop this evil man, and bring down the GOP's reign of power.

These are reputable accounts of Trump's pedophilia, child abuse, child rape, and even an account of being party to infanticide.

So we already know that about Trump and now he is doing another terrible thing like mudering civilians and kidnapping people and this suppose tocmake Trump look any better?
