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!

Here are all of the Epstein Files that have either been leaked or released.

Trump’s name is circled. The circled individuals are the ones involved in the trafficking ring according to the person who originally released the book. These people would be “The List “ Here is the story.

She’s 17 and doing great ― Ivanka. She made me promise, swear to her that I would never date a girl younger than her,” Trump said. “So as she grows older, the field is getting very limited.”

Adding the court affidavit from Katie, as well: https://www.politico.com/f/?id=00000158-267d-dda3-afd8-b67d3bc00000

Never forget Katie Johnson.

Trump's modeling agency was probably part of Jeffreys pipeline: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/08/donald-trump-model-management-illegal-immigration/

Do your part and spread them around like a meme sharing them and saving them helps too! Please copy and paste this elsewhere!

I honestly don’t like the channel, primarily because I just absolutely hate how they present pretty much every story.

I just want sober, measured, objective reporting, but apparently that’s too much to ask of almost anyone in journalism these days.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Indeed. This guy likes his own voice too much. 1/10th of the time with the same content but without the word waste would be better.

[–] MrVilliam@sh.itjust.works 7 points 23 hours ago

It's not perfect, but some more news and their podcast "even more news" are good and they tend to wait to report on breaking stories until more facts come out, or at least state upfront that there is still a lot that they don't know yet.

Lately, it's kind of impossible to report on some of this shit without getting a little emotional. But they're closer to tears than frothing angrily.

[–] Tiger@sh.itjust.works 3 points 20 hours ago

I think it does. There are some versions of their reporting I do like, and they actually pull in tons of great and relevant info, it isn’t just blowhard opinions.

[–] just_another_person@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Unfortunate that this is the one instead something more competent and less-clickbaity. It's all ads. Like every other sentence its a fucking ad. When it's not ads, it's just audio clips. Maybe that's what some people like I guess.

I wish something like Majority Report with Sam Seder was in their place.

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world -2 points 21 hours ago (3 children)

Majority report is a generic liberal show as well.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 hours ago

Yeah, it is definitely not liberal.

[–] chunkystyles@sopuli.xyz 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

You need to take a hard look at whatever echo chambers you're in if you think the majority report is generic liberal.

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world -1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I watched it myself it it became extremely obvious rapidly.

The Majority Report told people to vote for Kamala and pretended Kamala was the anti genocide vote.

[–] chunkystyles@sopuli.xyz 4 points 7 hours ago

The Majority Report told people to vote for Kamala

They definitely did do that and it was a good thing to do. If you believe that Kamala would not have been better in almost every regard than Trump, you live in a completely different reality than the rest of us.

pretended Kamala was the anti genocide vote

This is an outright lie. They constantly talked about how she was bad regarding Palestine and they constantly talk about how that lost her the election.

[–] just_another_person@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Whoa, hard disagree. It's VERY progressive, not just left. Interviews are specific, content is curated well, and the crowd is way more knowledgeable than any others I've seen. Can be a bit dry because they really dig into the topics they discuss, but that's why it's great.

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world -1 points 13 hours ago

Majority Report claims USAID exists to help people instead of destabilize countries via soft power. https://youtu.be/fbA2uHceJbQ

They sometimes correctly identify issues but then their solution to the issue is "vote Democrat"

Secular Talk, Brian Tyler Cohen, Ive Had It are better imo

[–] floo@retrolemmy.com 1 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

I really like Brian Taylor Cohen. Leading up to the election, they had them on Fox News a bunch of times, he tore them all on New asshole each time. It was hilarious.

Plus, he’s gorgeous

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

I love how his videos include the context uninterrupted up front as opposed to Sam "pause it pause it pause it" Seder, but holy hell the clickbait titles from BTC are insufferable.

TRUMP CAMPAIGN ANNIHILATED, DESTROYED, SLAMMED, SUNK.

(Video of Brian explaining how a judge told Trump "Hey stop doing that for a little bit so we can figure out if it's illegal or not.")

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 hours ago

"pause it"

Read this in Sam's voice lol

[–] floo@retrolemmy.com 1 points 6 hours ago

The titles are definitely clickbaity, but the content is good

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago

MeidasTouch does NOT have good politics. Its a great place to go if you want court/ supreme court coverage (because they are almost all lawyers), but their political inclinations are shit.
