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!

May his fury drive his blood pressure higher than his degraded arteries can contain.

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if he sweats burger salt or something.

[–] Plurrbear@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)

SHOW US THE CLIENT LIST, which we already know includes Drumpf! Show us or BUST! This is going to hurt him, even MAGA cult members want it to be released, SO DO IT!

He’s such a little bitch, doesn’t want to do anything but spend American’s money and tell everyone, “how the people are great, everything is great, the people, they are the best people I have met…” blah blah blah!

[–] Event_Horizon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Trump is so stupid he can't even have his cronies forge a different list or edit the current one to show that he isn't on it. Think about that. The "deep state" is hamstrung by a leader so stupid they can't even pretend he's not a pedophile.

[–] t_berium@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Damn you, I read that in his stupid voice!

[–] Plurrbear@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

As you should have haha!

How I see him responding… “The people putting the list together are great people, they know what they are doing, some of the best people I have ever met, they will do what they have to do but they are great people.” Blah blah blah same dialogue different stories, but same generic response because he is the, “~~generic~~” president when we could have had the real deal! Sorry, meant, “geriatric”. Lol!

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Well if you don’t want everyone talking about you being on the list then you shouldn’t have been fucking children huh Donny!

[–] Gates9@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

He may be irritated but he isn’t scared in the least. The Trump administration is the culmination of decades of zero consequences for the rich. Here we have a man who has said and done the most awful things known to man, and everyone knows it because the evidence is overwhelming, yet he got elected twice. America has a deep sickness, Donald Trump is just a symptom.

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 188 points 3 days ago (9 children)

committed suicide nearly six years ago

No the fuck he did not

“When you’re working 12 to 15 hours a day to solve real problems and you turn on the TV and see people talking about Jeffrey Epstein, that’s frustrating. That’s where the president’s mindset is,” the senior White House official said.

Lmfao there is absolutely no fucking way orangeboi works for more than 1.2 to 1.5 hours a day.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 33 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Also, define "work". I submit that this guy has never done any real work in his life.

Him doing chopper-talk or talking to his gaggle of tiktok/youtube influencers called a "press pool" in front of the fireplace doesn't really constitute "work". That's just him soaking up the spotlight, which a narcissist like him feeds off of.

[–] redwattlebird@lemmings.world 11 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Didn't he serve fries once?

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

LOL, good point. I stand corrected. I guess he did indeed do some real work the one time...and now that you mention it, he did that photo-op with the garbage truck, too, where he nearly missed the door.

You guys remember when some people were pushing the whole "but it's just a meme" thing?

I do. I remember thinking "his own bodyguard said he had to have help to do that. No fucking way was it suicide."

[–] criss_cross@lemmy.world 23 points 3 days ago (4 children)

I think it’s more his staff that’s working 12-15 hour days. Trump himself just golfs.

He can just put the whole thing to rest by releasing his birth certificate.

It's really easy to not be a fascist paedophile, it's one of the easiest things ever. if ya don't like the coverage maybe you should've thought before deciding to be a Gross Old Paedo 😂

"Barack Obama committed treason... That's why I hired a bunch of prostitutes to talk shit about him while they pissed on a bed he slept in as Russia taped me.." - Donald Trump.

[–] 13igTyme@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

The reality is if he did release it, the base wouldn't care. This is a man who bragged about walking in on little girl beauty pageant dressing rooms. Bragged about being able to grab a woman by her pussy. Admitted he was attracted to his daughter. Suggested that if he walked on 5th avenue and shot someone, he wouldn't lose any voters. Then proceeded to make that statement true by getting a million Americans killed by COVID.

[–] barnaclebutt@lemmy.world 67 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Maybe don't fuck kids then?

He didn't just do that, he trafficked them too

[–] lukaro@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

But some of his supporters say it's just human nature and nothing to be concerned over.

[–] Prox@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

This can’t go away. I’m so sick of this monster avoiding consequences at the expense of the country.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 49 points 3 days ago

The best thing we can do is talk about it unrelentingly. Every question at press conferences should center around their friendship and weird letters to each other. Make him so mad that he has a stroke.

[–] DrFistington@lemmy.world 68 points 3 days ago

Maybe he shouldn't have raped those kids if he didn't want to keep hearing about it

[–] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 39 points 3 days ago (1 children)

All you had to do was release the list like you said you would, Donny.

Be prepared to be hounded every fucking day until we see it.

Just keep it up, he has trouble controlling himself when he's angry and might just accidentally let something slip

Talk about privilege. This asshole is upset that people are discussing his crimes. Not that he's faced one fucking IOTA of consequences in his entire miserable life.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Good. If he has a seizure and ends up as a vegetable because of this, it would be a good thing.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

Better horrible pain, complete paralysis, full consciousness (to the extent he has ever had it) and no way to end it.

[–] thedruid@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

I wonder what happened when they find out that trump is in the Epstein files?

[–] Rooskie91@discuss.online 33 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I just got THE BEST idea for a special episode of "To Catch a Predator". I would pay an obscene amount of money to watch Chris Hansen tell DTJ "to take a seat over there".

Boo fucking hoo. The P.O.S.OTUS got everything he wanted and has a rubber stamp Congress to give him even more. Courts that bend over backwards to protect him, and literally steals millions of dollars from us every time he goes to mar-a-lago, but the poor baby is mad that the media exists.

Many are saying that the list is out there and trump is on it.

Is there a place I can go to see how many minutes per day of coverage Epstein gets on Fox and OAN etc.? I suspect it is zero.
