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!

Trump allowing CHILD SEX TRAFFICKER GHISLAINE MAXWELL to go out on Work Release is PROOF that Trump is doing EVERYTHING he can to Bring Child Rapists to Justice!

[–] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

How is /conservative going to spin this one?

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Almost wish I had an account for some trolling.

A pardon would be too obvious, and would take her off the leash. Much safer to transfer her to a cushy Club Fed prison and give her work release. That way, if she steps out of line she has a lot to lose.

[–] Pavidus@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Work release, huh? Is she going back to the field of work she was in prior to jail?

[–] ApeNo1@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Trump is looking forward to the bring your child to work day.

She can work for the Dept of Transportation because of all the trafficking experience.

[–] RustyShackleford@literature.cafe 1 points 3 months ago

After letting P. Diddy off, and now this... It feels like Trump, is forming a pedofiles version of the Avengers/Justice League.

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

They probably reckon it's less suspicious to have her assassinated in public after the first one

[–] HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago

Well that's fucking depressing. :/

[–] ElcaineVolta@kbin.melroy.org 1 points 3 months ago

I hate it here.

[–] pjwestin@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I really don't think that Trump giving a human trafficker special treatment to say that he isn't a pedophile is gonna play out as well with his base as he thinks it will.

[–] Neon_Shadow@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

They won't care. They have no morals or hard lines. They'll support whatever dear leader tells them to. There will be a few days of fake outrage, and then they will stop caring.

[–] pjwestin@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

We'll see. He spent the last 6 years stirring up this Santanic-panic pedophile shit, I don't think it's going to be that easy to put down. Besides that, he's about to throw us into a massive recession with huge inflation. I've never been one of those, "Trump is finished! There's no way he's coming back from this!" guys, but this really seems like a perfect storm of events that will hurt his most loyal followers.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world -1 points 3 months ago

His base voted for him AFTER he was convicted of 34 felonies and became an adjudicated rapist.

They're subhuman.

They'll work up an excuse for this.

[–] Mediocre_Bard@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (2 children)

So ... we're done with consequences for everyone then?

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Until she ends up 'ending herself', of course. Just like her boyfriend.

[–] Vreyan31@reddthat.com 1 points 3 months ago

Oh no. Ohhhh no.

It's simply what consequences are dished out for.

This is mob rule government. If you are part of the 'gang', and are loyal to the gang, you can get away with murder. Or raping children.

Everyone else is under the bootheel though.

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

What work does she do worth releasing her from prison? Sourcing unfortunate children for old pedophiles?

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

C'mon man. She's gonna be sourcing unfortunate children for the POTUS. It's a federal thing.
