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!

New testimony:

"I witnessed Epstein offer girls to Trump and Trump heroically stood up, punched Epstein and said 'I will save those girls from you just you see!' then he flew out the window with his cape flapping in the wind. Epstein was visibly shaken, he kept repeating 'Bill Clinton took them every time I offered them. Obama took them. Hillary Clinton took them. Kamala Harris took them. Why won't Lord God Savior Trump take the girls I offer him!?' He then printed out this list of all Democrats who took girls from him."

A day later:

Maxwell pardoned, all charges dropped.

Fucking crazy how blatantly corrupt this all is.

I’d like to hope people would see past this, but alas history is not on my side here.

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 9 points 15 hours ago

The thing is the maga people want my cartoon to be true so when it happens the Republicans can say "see, this is testimony from someone as close as you can get to Epstein. There is no need to release any documents we have that could potentially hurt victims and their families. She gave us a list of Democrats, so we're going after them don't you worry."

This is exactly what the base wanted. They just want to see Democrats go to jail, they aren't interested if it's a Republican, or another billionaire, they want to see their political "enemies" executed or sent to prison.

“I made sure to keep copies of all of the emails and photos I came across on Hunter Biden’s laptop.”

She's going to cut a deal, in exchange for favorable testimony...I guarantee it.

[–] twistypencil@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Nobody is going to fall for that, evidence: these comments

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 11 points 12 hours ago

They don't care if you believe it...they just need plausible deniability. And Trump has no problem trading pardons for favors.

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 7 points 12 hours ago

RIP rich lady

[–] just_another_person@lemmy.world 28 points 16 hours ago

...to float a deal to get her to say she never met Trump, even though there are pictures all over the place.

[–] zbyte64@awful.systems 6 points 12 hours ago

So the former lawyer to the president is that official. Sends a pretty clear message of what is being asked....

[–] selkiesidhe@sh.itjust.works 7 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Be sure to watch for missing time on the cameras...

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 13 hours ago

And high-rise window glass that broke outward...

[–] leadore@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago

DOJ is gonna make her an offer she can't refuse.
