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!

People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones

They are throwing glass in stone houses.

You can't charge a president.

Thanks republicans.

every accusation is a confession

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 12 points 1 day ago

100% projection on this one.

[–] Lasherz12@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The best comment about this fiasco I've seen so far is that we now can definitely say that the president knows nothing about extraterrestrials, because if he did he 100% would have released it to distract from Epstein.

[–] nthavoc@lemmy.today 9 points 1 day ago

They already did that. Not so much aliens, but unexplained UFO's. https://www.npr.org/2023/07/27/1190390376/ufo-hearing-non-human-biologics-uaps . Nobody cared apparently.

I was thinking we were less than 2 weeks from an announcement on Roswell or Area 51.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago

Anything to distract from his involvement with the Epstein case. ANYTHING.

They also released the MLK files. What's next? Harvey Lee Oswald's History with the CIA? The UFO files?

The pedo is getting scared and pointing fingers

[–] Lukaro@piefed.zip 16 points 1 day ago

But did he try to fuck kids?

"Now that I've spent 4 and a half years making the President immune, it's time to go after Obama like I promised my stupid followers."

[–] Australis13@fedia.io 15 points 1 day ago

I see he's projecting again...

[–] Envy@fedia.io 13 points 1 day ago

Good thing you made it legal for whatever the president does in office, dumbass.

Holy shit he's losing the rest of whatever is left of his mind.

I still consider funnelling taxpayer money into your own hotels treason even if it is for a petty amount of money in the big picture.
