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!

Trump is not a convicted sex offender. Trump was found to be liable for sexual assault. A conviction is criminal and means a jury found that he was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt- he was not convicted. Instead a jury found that they think its more likely than not he was guilty. Basically- he wasn't proven guilty, he was found to be probably guilty.
the judge himself said in not so many words that Trump raped E.Carroll
Everyone knows what I mean dude. A jury of Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump's peers found that he committed rape under modern definitions. Do you think that Pathological Liar Treason Trump cares about the subtle differences you bring up? What is important is to always remind people about it over and over because otherwise people will forget that particular rape because Accused Pedophile Treason Trump committed so many other crimes.
They found he probably committed sexual assault, not that he is guilty of sexual assault. That is the difference.
Dude is a sexual criminal, idgaf what one court decided once.
Aka Pedants in Disgust: It's Ephebophile okay! Not pedophilia.
Ah, the old Musk Defense.
The issue isn't with the facts, it's with their relevancy.
Also, they very clearly didn't call anyone a pedophile. C'mon, if you're gonna make an argument show some integrity and don't intentionally misread what you're responding to.
No. The difference is a difference between being in a cell for 10 years and not.
The joys of money lol.
The dude bragged about sexual assault and checking out teen girls dressing rooms mic'd up lol.
The difference in jail time is semantics for the rich.
IIRC she never pressed charges within a reasonable time where significant evidence that proved beyond a reasonable doubt existed.
