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!

Taking about disgraced pedophile former prince andrew:

“I feel very badly,” Trump said. “It’s a terrible thing that’s happened to the family. That’s been a tragic situation. It’s too bad. I feel badly for the family.”

He just can’t help sympathizing with pedos

[–] cockmushroom@reddthat.com 2 points 13 hours ago

@americans

why does your president talk like a first order markov kernal undergoing data races?

[–] switcheroo@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago

Because in Andrew's shoes, he would feel bad for depriving his family of his own fucking presence...

Drumpf, the pedophile rapist felon, folks. 🤮

Really? Going by their faces during that speech I saw a brief clip of, the royal family thinks you're an uncouth, insufferable buffoon, Donald.

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

On that, I would have too agree strongly with the Royal family.

[–] AlexLost@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

He sympathizes with the man facing the consequences of his actions and laughs at that man's victims. Stop normalizing his behaviour you lunatics!!!! He is a shit heel and a fucking psycho loser scared of his own shadow for the things he's done in his long miserable life. Put him out to pasture where he belongs. Get him behind the shed with ICE Barbie and her shotgun.

[–] FanciestPants@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Reflexively want to correct him on how to use adverbs, but in this case the way he used "badly" might be accurate.

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 52 points 1 day ago

A non-sociopath might express sympathy for the victims.

I just like....

YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAY ANYTHING!!!

Like.. why.. how the fuck..

Its literally self-incriminating. He has and continues to defend/ protect pedophiles at every turn.

I think a clever reporter could get him to self incriminate on this if they can ask a question the right way. You'll have to butter him up, real good. Like, gas him up bigger than ChatGPT does. And get it on tape. And have a get-away plan. He's so fucking dumb and its so FUCKING obvious.

They really should just play the Howard Stern interview, Trump admitted to so much sick shit

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Who does Trump sympathise with? Is it the "grab 'em by the pussy, they don't even care" victims of wealthy pedophile friends of Epstein, or is it the wealthy pedophile friends of Epstein?

Why? Because he, too, is a... Yes, you've guessed right!

Whose files is it that trump decided not to release?

I see NOTHING wrong with the Man PROTECTING Jeffrey Epstein, Pardoning Sex Criminals, KIDNAPPING CHILDREN WITH AN ENTIRE MULTI BILLION DOLLAR TAXPAYER FUNDED POLICE FORCE, showing SYMPATHY for a Child Rapist!

-Pizzagate Believers!

“He’s a wonderful man. He’s helped a lot of children.” - DJT, probably
