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!

Convicted rapists' friends condemn convicted rapist.
Guilt by association is no joke! Even friendship can be dangerous! Better to avoid any human contact to not draw suspicion.
Way ahead of you.
should be pretty easy for right-wingers. forever alone.
Meh. I think not giving your friend a standing ovation or defending him after he's been convicted of rape is a good start.
I wouldn't even know that shit because I couldn't care less about what friends of potential criminals think about their crimes. That shit is utterly unimportant. Why should I waste my life time for remembering such silly things?
Oh, that's juicy. Source?

Civil isn't criminal, wasn't convicted, unlike Kimmel's friends.
Worse. It was a finding of fact. It's a fact that Trump is a rapist.
civil only needs a preponderance of evidence. criminal requires beyond a reasonable doubt. but even that isn't high enough, in my opinion, to justify the government taking away peoples' freedom.
You can talk like you're authoritative on the subject all you want, but that's no where near true. Dude probably is, but proven? Nowhere near.
"You can talk like you're authoritative on the subject..."
Talks like they're authoritative on the subject without providing a single shred of backup.
🤌
Knowing what "convicted" means is a pretty high bar to aspire to, I know, but keep at it, you'll get it eventually.

https://www.cnbc.com/2024/03/10/trump-denies-carrolls-claims-after-posting-91point6-million-bond-.html You guys aren't nearly as clever as you think,
You still haven't figured out what convicted means.
My buddy, I don't give a flying shit about shitty US law technicalities. I know you're clutching that straw for your dear life, and I'm sure you'll find another, when it's time.
A person is a rapist, if he raped someone.
If you shoot someone, but don't get caught, you're still a murderer.
That's about enough arguing I can take with a person who does some incredible mental gymnastics in attempt to defend a rapist.
I'm not your buddy. Losing a civil trial is far, far different than what was initially claimed. You don't even understand the difference between defending and trying to get the facts somewhat straight.
I haven't claimed Trump is a "convicted rapist".
I've claimed that he is a rapist, sans US-specific law jargon.
You probably think the Sun revolves around the US?
Don't join conversations if you don't know what they're about, trying to prove a point about something else then.
Don't tell me what to do, I won't tell you where to go. If I see a person defending a rapist, I'll join the conversation if I want to.
You might want to figure out what is actually going on if you don't want to seem like an confused and oblivious half wit. Saves people telling you what to do too.
Oh, the irony. "an confused halfwit". Dunning–Kruger intensifies. You might want to shut the fuck up forever then, if you don't want people to know your secret.
~~Since you're such an avid rapist defender, I'm going to have to block you~~. On second though, your replies are so dumb, it's actually entertaining. I know you're likely a troll, but hey, fun is fun.
Let's hope such things, that Trump was accused of, and convicted, never happen to you or your family.
Pathetic
An pathetic?
You don't read much, then. 🤦🏼♂️
One the front page right now. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/03/10/trump-denies-carrolls-claims-after-posting-91point6-million-bond-.html You, read.
I do, bootlicker. Try again. Or don't. Doesn't seem to matter to the thinking world either way.
Adding "when to quit" to the endless list of things you don't know? Oh, sweetie...
You all can seriously go die in a fire. Insults are apparently fine when it's you idiots, so the mod can go first.
So, that's a yes.
