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!

God this guy is a petty bitch.
I’d like to say “nice try, Don” but sarcasm falls short. That flyover was crude, hateful, and obnoxious. It’s made me angry all over again.
He's so petty and stupid he would order this without a doubt
It’s a no fly zone and a flyover for no reason, he definitely had to have ordered it, imagine what that stunt cost the taxpayers
Does anyone else remember Alex Acosta? Secretary of Labor for the Trump Administration 2017-2019?
Did you know he was U.S. attorney for Southern District of Florida (2005-2009)?
Does anyone else remember when he got Epstein a federal non-prosecution agreement that was later deemed illegal? -fun fact about this plea deal, it ended federal investigations, which seems kind of crazy.
I remembered, but there were so many details I forgot:
The Miami Herald describes an email from Epstein's attorney after his off-site meeting with Acosta: "'Thank you for the commitment you made to me during our Oct. 12 meeting,' Lefkowitz wrote in a letter to Acosta after their breakfast meeting in West Palm Beach. He added that he was hopeful that Acosta would abide by a promise to keep the deal confidential. 'You ... assured me that your office would not ... contact any of the identified individuals, potential witnesses or potential civil claimants and the respective counsel in this matter,' Lefkowitz wrote."
Miami Herald and Julie K Brown broke so many of these stories
I do!
I remember his poor stepford children at his swearing in.
Such a proud day for the man who denied justice for so many. Hey lookit that, he’s on the Board of Directors for Newsmax now. Aw. Probably soaking in millions.
Boo newsmax! I heard earlier today on NPR that they are suing fox news for anti-competitive practices. The part that struck me was their highest viewership was election night 2020, when fox called Arizona for Biden, the die-hards couldn't handle it and switched over.
Faux is too lie-beral for them. Newsmax has duh troof!
Propaganda is a helluva drug!
Holy shit it's that guy. My buddy and I still use creepy images from that press conference as reaction gifs
wait this is real. How am I just know learning of this?
There are so many connections that it is easy to miss some. This was around the time of Epsteins suicide so there was a lot of news going on. For a real deep dive I suggest Julie K Brown's Perversion of Justice.
Seems like intimidation. Isn't that a threat of violence from the president?
Like what other purpose does it serve?
God its so hard trying to type about this whole insane situation of the pedophile president without breaking my brain because its so obvious.
Seriously, what other reason would there be for this other than intimidation? He's so fucking guilty.
Child Sex Traffickers are AMERICAN HEROS!
-Republicans but LITERALLY!
Use it!
Show everyone what a petty jerk OUR President IS.
