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!

I have nothing against sex work, but this was not sex work; this was a goddan tragedy created by a bunch of monsters who created the current situation in which this can happen in the first place.
Just one more reason why they want to keep you poor. So they can do shit like that. And worse.
This is a category of sex work. There is sex work in which adults choose that it's labor they'd prefer to participate in, I support that sex work. Then there's a long spectrum that ends in places like this. You can't criminalize this stuff away. When minors are so desperate they're selling sex you need to look at the material root causes
There are recordings of an interview with a historian in which Sylvia Rivera talks about how she got into sex work as a child. It's heartbreaking and infuriating and more than anything it's a condemnation of the circumstances in which she lived.
They ain't raping their fellow rich kin. This shit is classist, they don't view the poor as people to be respected.
The fact that representatives knew this happened, and accepted basically "if you step down from taking your next roll, we'll ignore it". Shows how absolutely every representative that wasn't screaming about it should be in prison right now.... Which means near all reps in Florida, and many in U.S. Congress.
Also, token: Desantis absolutely allowed this to be covered up for political reasons/gain
They also know that the poor are absolutely powerless, especially considering the enormity of resources rich politicians have at their disposal.
This is it. I don't think they have particular respect for the offspring of other wealthy elites either, they just know there is power and money protecting/ defending the children of the elites if anything happens to them. These people don't have respect for anything but themselves. They've just gotten where they are by having a keen instinct for self-interest and preservation.

The fact that these cases always seem to end with “DOJ declined to bring charges” or some similar fate is disgusting
That explains why the US has no proper health care system...
Not sure if you're joking but yes. The profit of deprivation is exploitation.

Yep, that's the American healthcare system in a nutshell.
Pfff... Devastating... Par for the course, you mean.
Oh yeah, there’s another one for sure. These people are just fucked
It's always the ones you most suspect.
