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!

Wait, none of this computes - this is not in the basement of a basementless pizza parlor and these guys aren't using any s00per sekrit decoder ring phrases involving pizza toppings?
How can this even be?
Never EVER let Republicans forget they elected this piece of shit TWICE
While a significant portion of the GOP voted for the felon, there is serious mounting evidence that he wasn’t actually elected the second time around.
The key problem seems to be that both the Democratic Party and the American population rather is willing to accept that the climate emergency is real and they contributed a lot to it, rather than their black box computer based voting system has been compromised.
I get downvoted everywhere for this, but repeating the line that the republicans voted this guy in, is inherently voicing acceptance of the election results.
Remember that the 4 years of “the election was stolen” on non stop, was partly designed to make you look like an idiot if you were to say it now.
If it talks like a coup, smells like a coup, looks like a coup and acts like a coup, it probably is.

The written caption does not leave any room for doubt
I don’t know how anyone can deny that we’re beyond reasonable doubt that Trump participated in the trafficking.
Wow: I'm embarrassed to break it to everyone that it's a phony check & the words aren't sincere. As explained in the news
Elsewhere there is an oversized check that purports to be Mr. Epstein jokingly selling a “fully depreciated” woman to Mr. Trump for $22,500.
and the source OP attempted to share
The photo shows Epstein and Joel Pashcow, a longtime member of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort, and a third figure, apparently a woman, whose face is redacted in the image, which was shared on social media by Democrats on the House oversight committee. The caption, apparently from Pashcow, reads: “Jeffrey showing early talents with money + women! Sells ‘fully depreciated’ [redaction] to Donald Trump for $22,500.”
it's Pashcow's idea of a gag caption to pay tribute to Epstein's "talents".
Has he tried to blame AI yet? I heard Trump say in a press conference, on September 2nd, 2025, that if something really bad happens he might have to blame AI
I'll lose all faith in humanity, what I have remaining at least, if Trump walks unscathed from this.
He already tried to orchestrate a coup and instigated an insurrection, including threats of hanging his own VP.
If he wasn't going to be thrown into prison and the key thrown away (and if there is a reason for a military-style firing squad, trying to overthrow the government definitely qualifies) for that, then I doubt he'll get anything from this.
I lost it all when he got away with all the other stuff, and got re-elected.
All gone. I honestly don't know what to do about it, either.
I remember feeling the last light of hope within me die. I remember thinking, "huh. Didn't even think I had that left.. oh well I guess..."
Whole lotta dipshit cons want a king, and Taco + many Republicans are more than willing to oblige.
I wonder what percentage of his voters understood they were voting for another holocaust
He’s gonna die free. Possibly (hopefully) soon, but that cockstain won’t pay for anything he’s done.
Be prepared to lose faith. Billionaires don’t have to answer for shit in this country.

What does it say? I have no way to zoom into it.
JEFFREY SHOWING EARLY TALENTS WITH MONEY + WOMEN! SELLS "FULLY DEPRECIATED" [victim's name is redacted] TO DONALD TRUMP FOR $22,500. SHOWED EARLY "PEOPLE SKILLS" TOO. EVEN THOUGH I HANDLED THE DEAL I DIDN'T GET ANY OF THE MONEY OR THE GIRL!
Referring to another human as "FULLY DEPRECIATED" is fucking disgusting
it might be a pedo code for non-virgin
And/or over 18
le sigh. Thanks.
Does "fully depreciated" mean " has become an adult"?
She's no longer a virgin.
I don't think that's it. Things depreciate over time.
I think the meaning is far worse and more twisted than that – such that I don’t want to say what I think they mean other than ‘broken in’.
dont be light with it. these are disgusting, evil and cruel acts. she was most likely a child and was raped and abused. it is an awful thing to even hear but people need to be hearing the truth, not desensitising metaphors.
I wasn’t being light with it. I’ve been there. They use far worse language than that. And I was trying to get across what they meant without making people vomit. It’s worse than people think. Many people shut down when we don’t speak on their level.
it should make everyone vomit
Yes.
I figured not a virgin, but could be that too.
Dear god, dude. Truly monstrous
Our president ladies and gents!
"people skills"
Those are by far the most suspicious quotes I've ever seen
Early "people skills" or "early people" skills? Hmmmm

I'm kind of relieved I can still be disgusted by him. I was afraid I'd gotten desensitized. Holy shit, that's gross.
I don't know how anyone can deny that we're beyond reasonable doubt that Trump participated in the trafficking. I'm sure some will find a way, though, once they drop the "reasonable" part.
I keep an eye on r/trump just to see what they're up to and believe me, they're having no trouble denying it.
