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

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.

Did everyone forget that Donald J Trump raped children, is named as a person in the murder of a new born child and is has his name littered throughout the Epstein files?
Smoke and mirrors, but in the form of reflecting pool paint.
Hahaha holy shit this is good
No, but also consider that these arrests are a VERY deliberate action related to the efforts to distract from the ties between Trump and rape/pedophilia.
Legacy media's current objective is to inflate EVERY story they can, let the public ruminate on it a bit and use engagement to either push it more or let it die out. The adminstration managed to capture the broad audience with faux mystery about how the liner failed, so everyone knew and was talking about it. Then they made arrests to drag attention to innocent people being scapegoated by a fascist government. So now we're forced to choose between spending the time correcting the record so innocent people don't end up in prison and bringing the focus back on Epstein with the understanding that its very likely nothing would come of it anyway. At least one of the 2 options helps free innocent people.
To be clear. I really wish we could force media to talk about both in equal length and with equal vigor, but they're in on it. I really hate where we are right now and found myself watching the World Cup trophy presentation despite actively disliking both countries in the final just on the non-zero chance I could see the feed interrupted by his assassination.
I didn't watch the world cup but I watched Trump's 4th of July speech in hopes he'd have a heatstroke or be hit by lightning. It was delayed a few hours due to a thunderstorm. Too bad his handlers probably talked him out of doing it in the thunderstorm
God that ending to the world cup would have been amazing. Too bad, but I like the way you think.
Correct
