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!

I, for one, completely believe the brother of infamous sex trafficking pedophile Jeffery Epstein.

[–] pachrist@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

I, for one, completely believe that Putin has hard evidence of Trump doing something salacious.

[–] leftzero@lemmy.dbzer0.com 30 points 6 days ago (1 children)

So it was the horse, then.

[–] frog_brawler@lemmy.world 18 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Must have been. Sounds like Mark was trying to reign in the gossip. I imagine he didn’t want to be saddled with the responsibility of his comment. Maybe the whole thing was just some horsing around.

"nono, i didn't mean that bubba, i meant ghislaine's horse named bubba!"

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Is there some reason why we should believe his brother?

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 14 points 5 days ago

..who wants to avoid being suicided?

[–] just_another_person@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Dunno. He was the author of the original comment in the email though.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

So what. He isn't saying who bubba is.

[–] Lightfire228@pawb.social 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I think Bubba == Bill Clinton is "too cute" a story without corroborating evidence

So, I'm inclined to believe him

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I figure it wasn't a literal blowjob but trump blowing sunshine up the ass of some sap he was trying to con.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Ah yes, putin is blackmailing Trump with a pic of him... Sucking up to someone?

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

I didn't mention putin. Its pretty clear that putin has something on him but the subject of this thread is a epstien email about trump. Not pooty poot.

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

The epstein email specifically asking if putin had the photo. I didn't bring vladdy in for no reason.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Okay. I'm pretty sure putin has more on him than that. He washed money for putin for decades.

[–] criss_cross@lemmy.world 29 points 6 days ago

So it’s the horse then?

I still remember seeing a news clip during trump's first term when he was at some dinner seated at a long table (don't remember if it was Helsinki or some other event they both attended), where Putin was on the opposite side and a ways down the table from him. He kept looking at Putin trying to catch his eye and get his attention and when Putin looked his way, trump looked at him made a pumping motion with his hand in a you-know-what motion, just like he was inviting him for a hand job. No one in the media made any comment about what he was doing, but I was shocked and replayed the clip a few times to check if I was seeing what I thought I was seeing. That's what it looked like to me.

If Bill Clinton was cool he'd record a video confirming he got top from trump. Even if it wasn't true.

If Bubba was a human male, would that make Trump the first known queer president? I guess if Bubba was Bill Clinton, that would make Clinton the first known queer president?

[–] kandoh@reddthat.com 13 points 6 days ago

There was definitely a full on homosexual president. Buchanan lived with William King for over a decade.

[–] HalfBakedChef@lemmy.zip 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

No. He sucked dick because he's a pervert and a wild sexual deviant, not because he's gay.

[–] TronBronson@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

I have a theory: Monica Lewinsky became the most well known person in America after blowing Bill. Trump needs that kind of attention; and thus exclaimed “hold my beer”

Why do we have to listen to what this guy says his words meant back then? Is he an esteemed author? Do we have to analyze his intent? WHERE IS JA??

And you know people are getting nervous when the brother has to crawl out and “set the record straight”.

[–] webp@mander.xyz 7 points 6 days ago

Yeah, this is completely unconvincing, it gives "I did not have sexual relations with that woman"

[–] Fmstrat@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

Soooo.. The horse then?

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago

If it wasn’t Clinton it definitely was the horse.

[–] Siethron@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

The lady doth protest too much.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Does anyone besides Putin have these pictures?

I'm really surprised they haven't claimed it was a typo and he meant "blowing bubbles" not bubba.
