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!

There's no such thing as an inappropriate setting to her

[–] HorreC@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

So wait we are going to listen to her after trumps lawyer talked to her and gave her a new place to nap, but we wont listen to the victims of her crimes that said otherwise.

[–] Apollonius_Cone@lemmy.world 30 points 6 hours ago

Says the person from jail, convicted for the same inappropriateness.

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 10 points 5 hours ago

I have a sneaky suspicion that this bitch is fucking lying.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 70 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

"And how would you define 'inappropriate setting'?"

"Well, I'd introduce Donald and Jeffrey to an unaccompanied minor, leave the room and close the door. Nothing inappropriate that I saw..."

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 27 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

The children were always female. None of that gay stuff.

[–] meco03211@lemmy.world 23 points 6 hours ago

Honestly this could be an avenue to get him to slip up. Push the rumor that it was boys or even adult men and watch him go full on Alpha^TM^ and correct the record to girls.

[–] BussyGyatt@feddit.org 6 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

Oh. Well that settles that. After all, she'd know.

[–] n3m37h@sh.itjust.works 16 points 6 hours ago

Just because you believe diddling kids isnt in appropriate...

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 44 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

So she's saying she never met trump, because the presence of either of them immediately creates an inappropriate setting.

[–] MDCCCLV@lemmy.ca 18 points 7 hours ago

When you're a professional assistant child predator nothing is inappropriate.

[–] Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 6 hours ago

Yep. Anything incriminating would be admitting her own guilt.

[–] Redditsux@lemmy.world 25 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Of course she'd say that. Trump's been hinting pardon the whole time.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 18 points 7 hours ago

She's already been sent to a low security jail where she gets out during the day. She has already received a bribe of some sort.

[–] chosensilence@pawb.social 7 points 6 hours ago

right, sure thing.

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 11 points 7 hours ago

Well, the unbiased, reliable source of factual information Ghislaine Maxwell has spoken. Guess that's that.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

Riiiiiiight.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 7 points 7 hours ago

Probably the single most believable witness in the history of the world.

Bigly.

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 hours ago

Define inappropriate setting

[–] DirkMcCallahan@lemmy.world 9 points 8 hours ago

Nothing to see here, please disperse. Absolutely nothing to see here.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago
[–] unconsequential@slrpnk.net 3 points 6 hours ago

She seems honest. /s

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

That's a surprising headline from Politico, they're owned by douchebags.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

Someone lost a bet probably.
