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.

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!

He rapes kids and everybody knows it, idk how any document could ever matter at this point
I don't believe in giving that asshole a pass on ANYTHING, and I would suggest the same strategy to you, especially since what they believe he passed along was related to current US troop safety in the region.
I don't believe in the war, but I also don't believe in cannon fodder. It's not Barron who's going to bleed for this.
I say hold that piece of shit responsible for ALL of it.
I say hold that piece of shit responsible for anything lol, yeah i agree with you he should have gotten prison for life or even the death penalty back in the 1970s for his crimes, but im not in charge man. All i can do is go to protests and hold a sign that says trump rapes kids. I guess what im saying is ive been hearing for ten years now new documents proving trump did another thing that is punishable by death, a new document is never gonna do anything until congress or the military or someone with power actually holds him to account.
I get the sentiment, but are you suggesting we not care about stories like this?
Yes, i dont care about the millionth document showing trump is a treacherous child rapist. This just plays into him, media companies make money everytime they unveil a new crime or whatever and the world keeps turning.
I care about him heing stopped! idc about going over his history of crimes for the millionth time without any actions being taken against him.
That's certainly a take. I don't see how you think media covering his crimes helps him or how stopping doing so would help justice ever being enacted.
Also this was a new story and had nothing to do with his pedophilia. So did you even skim the post title before reacting this way?
It normalizes his behavior, "oh no typical trump stealing and raping again". Then they run an editorial "this is why we had to invade iran" blah blah blah.
Like what are you waiting for? You need some more articles published before you take more action against him?
If not, then why do you care about the next document published about him??
Literally what are you talking about? You realize the entire concept of news is 'something abnormal happened '. Further I've no clue why you think I'm responsible for jailing trump.
You didn't even attempt to answer any of my questions. Probably because you realize there's nothing rational about your take. You just know you're tired of being depressed by it. Fair enough. Take a break from news, because news won't stop being reported for you.
Im talking about how it helps trump when people share these articles. It normalizes his behavior.
Your question was inane, yes i read the article and i still have the same conclusion. This is not news, and it helps trump by normalizing his behavior while continuing his immunity to accountability.
I never said anything about you being responsible for anything. Im asking you, what did this article change for you? What will you do next week when the next article comes out describing another trump crime? Is anything in the world different now that jack smith published this?? Why should we care about this, because i said we shouldn't and you said that's wrong.
Thank you for letting me know that you're unreachable. Now I know for sure. For the record, everyone reading this knows it's a beyond dumb assertion to say reporting on crime increases crime. Which by the way you once again failed to address because you know it's an irrational and incorrect idea that makes no sense whatsoever.
Alright good job you won the argument you're smarter than me have a nice life
I apologize for the tone I took here. I don't think you're unintelligent, rather I think you're fed up and being a bit stubborn. We are all hurting right now. I hope the future leads us all to hurt less.
