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!

Wtf?
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?
Ok, I'm 100% sure this is one of Donnie boy's staffers. And if it's not, this is just sad and pathetic.
GOP is filled with Boomers and Groomers
How many times was this person three years old? GRAMMAR BURN!
But all these horrifying statements build the next obvious question: how old were you the first time you molested a child?
This right here is the exact question I was thinking too.
Keeping the horrifying tradition alive!
What a fucking insane take. Also, their concern about immigration is wacky as fuck too. 'The ones I know are great but we can't let them in because we don't know them'. What does that even mean?
Also, what are you worried about illegal immigrants doing? If you can excuse raping kids, what line could you be afraid of them crossing? Or do you just need to be a white American to rape kids, otherwise its a bad thing?
The logic is honest to god fascinating. The example people give for who deserves the death penalty is usually a child predator. If you can include that in the 'just human nature' category, what are humans capable of that would be outside of their nature?
The death penalty should be abolished. But that's a topic for another conversation.
That's actually really sad that they've internalized their trauma as something normal. This is why counseling should be mandatory for kids and child molesters should be flayed.
So many shitty people want their and/or other kids to suffer because they did and “turned out fine,” not realizing that the literal mindset of wanting suffering on someone means they did not in fact, turn out fine.
A lot of people are like "I was beaten as a child and turned out fine", you see a lot of those on Reddit.
Not surprising. This person has probably never been wrong their whole life and probably has never admitted mistakes to her children. Typical MAGA bullshitter. Let her die with Trump's dick in her mouth.
Frequently wrong, never in doubt.
