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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

If it's good for him like gaining extra seats by redistricting Texas with blatant gerrymandering, he "deserves" it. If it's bad for him like being predominantly named in a neutral investigation with his well-documented relationship with a pedophile human trafficker and patronage of his services, he doesn't "deserve" it.

Trump is a narcissist who surrounded himself with sycophants. He is so far removed from reality at this point he should be locked in a padded cell.

[–] Red_October@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

Yeah he really wants to get out in front of the eventual revelation that he's shockingly on the list. We definitely already know that though so one again taco don has shit more than his pants.

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

No. It is real.

[–] ABetterTomorrow@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 year ago

But why would your judges and administration do that? Hmmmm

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

They say it’s number-one in history. What we’ve done, including stopping seven wars

Oh! Ooooh! I finally figured it out!

The elusive "they" he always mentions are Statler and Waldorf's ghosts from The Muppet Christmas Carol and no one else can see them.

He's the worst liar in history. Whenever he talks like this it turns out he's guilty of something. Every fucking time.

Every picture I see of Trump looks like his mouth is a butthole. Does anyone else see this?

[–] feddylemmy@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Considering what comes out of it...

[–] TheMinister@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

[–] ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Right, that's why they never released them.

Even these morons won't buy it

There’s audio of him years ago saying the stuff about him in the Epstein files are lies

[–] ieatpwns@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I hope he lives long enough to feel the fallout from his name being on there

[–] Postmortal_Pop@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Honestly, I'll take it either way, I just want the fallout.

[–] bluecat_OwO@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

his cap says "trump was right about everything"

Brother you have contradicted everything that has ever come out of your mouth pussy, wdym xD

[–] III@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Ohhh... so Putin is in the Epstein files along with Trump. That makes sense.

[–] Rakonat@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Probably one of the few people I'd expect not to be on the list. I wouldn't be surprised he's a child abusing pedo, but he doesn't need to go halfway across the world to find vulnerable children the entire post soviet bloc is filled with them.

I feel like there needs to be a word for someone who tries to deflect from their obvious wrongdoings in a way that is almost identical in tone and comedic transparency to a stereotypical, cliche'd anime tsundere.

Whatever that word is, Trump is the iconic example of it.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

LOL, a "Democratic hoax" that his dumbfuck supporters have been chattering about for years now and never seem to let up on. Maybe he should ask his own FBI how this hoax came about.

[–] drhodl@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

When YOU are a chief suspect, Donny 2 Weeks, then YOU don't get to decide who deserves to be on that list. It's not hard, magats !

[–] tonytins@pawb.social 9 points 1 year ago

How are we supposed to know? The DOJ gave the "files" to Congress.

[–] Muaddib@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 year ago

Cope! Furthermore, seethe!

[–] Geedon@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 1 year ago

Fuck you Trump!

So he sees the Epstein files as a way to go after his political enemies?

[–] kaotic@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Release the Epstein files.
