Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

Analysis: America is dumber than a bag of hammers to comprehend the accusations, proof and evidence to even do anything about it.
1/3 and that number is shrinking
They're gonna love it when Maxwell gets her pardon
I know I'll get some flak for this, but should the average person even need the ability to parse through this BS? Like every inch of this mess should've been settled decades ago in courtrooms with every one of Epsteins buddies sitting in a vaguely damp jail cell until trial. But due to abject corruption on all levels one of his degenerate profligate buddies is now sitting in the Whitehouse. Frankly speaking everyone involved with Epstein should've popped up dead in a ditch or should've been rotting in a prison cell.
Instead it's now being hashed in the court of public opinion which is frankly speaking a mess especially with how degraded common news media is. Humans are evolved to hunt and gather not analyze the bullshit info on a cavalcade of child rapists, while plenty of us have moved past such simple functions plenty haven't.
Note I think ignorance is a sin, but there are plenty of folks who simply want to do their job go home eat something tasty then vibe with their buddies in the garage. The problem is that due to propaganda and other trite those simple folks have been turned into a weapon.
