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!

Personally I think the whole child rape club thing was his most disgusting scheme.
The killing of the middle school children in Iran is up there too.
*so far
The pedo stuff is still not "proven" and things like Iran he's still somewhat removed (was it him vs hegseth, was it intentional). The thing with this is it is unabashedly in the open and he's the one directly calling the shots.
Not saying that it makes it better or worse, but there is no whitewashing it. He's directly paying himself and his cronies from taxpayer dollars, he's literally saying it himself.
The pedo stuff has absolutely been proven, and he has been held criminally liable for a rape.
I mean, if you've got hard proof of the pedo stuff please share.
As for the rape, I think he was found liable in a civil case where the burden is less than in a criminal court. Looking into it he was found to have sexually abused E. Jean Carroll in a civil case. However there is a sworn deposition from his first wife's 1989 divorce disposition in which she states he raped her (Source), however that was never prosecuted.
I personally don't need more evidence than that, but sadly America doesn't seem to be swayed by this kind of information.
