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!

Wolff said that the two New York-born businessmen each sought to further their fame and fortune. Diana could do just that.

The always-polite Diana responded with a thank-you letter for the flowers. However, she reportedly told Scott in private that Trump “gives me the creeps.”

Yup.

“Michael Wolff is a lying sack of s--t and has been proven to be a fraud,” said White House Communications Director Steven Cheung. “He routinely fabricates stories originating from his sick and warped imagination, only possible because he has a severe and debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome that has rotted his peanut-sized brain.”

Steven Cheung is such a Göebbels.

What's worse is that this is coming from the Communications Director. A spokesperson shouldn't be using language like this, ever, especially if we're still pretending at the whole "government as a business" thing.

Of course, this is how Trump runs all his businesses, so.

This is truly sick shit. I need to add this to the site I'm working on http://epsteinsfriends.info/

That's cool. You should add Trump's denials in there where you have direct photographic evidence to the contrary, like how he claimed he didn't really know Maxwell.

Good idea. The site has only been live a short while and I'm working on it on myy spare time plus troubleshooting a lemmy instance as well.

Jesus...

Plot twist, Trump had Diana killed because she turned him down.
