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!

I don't like to judge other people's actions but after all of the warning signs:
"Have you had an STD?" Spanking with the magazine after she insults him "You look like my daughter"
Why did she sleep with him? I hope she got paid. If it was just on the advice of her publicist I hope she fucking fired them.
Well . . . yeah, she got paid. That's what the trial is about.
She got paid to keep quiet about it much later.
I thought the trial is about her getting paid not to talk about sleeping with him, not if she got paid to sleep with him.
Technically it’s about how she was paid, not about the keeping quiet.
It’s legal to pay someone to do something and pay them to not talk about it. NDAs are already a thing. You’re just not allowed to pay for it with campaign funds, it’s expected to come out of your own pocket
Now you're just splitting hairs. She received 6 figures..and 3 inches
He fucked her twice?
No, it was one time consisting of two pumps.
I guess you round up.
There's a tradeoff between precision and conciseness. Outside of a mathemadickal context, it doesn't really matter whether it's 2.72 or 3.14 inches.
Obligatory XKCD about coordinate precision

(You probably knew this, I just wanted to tack on a joke)
Great XKCD!
She did get paid, that's what the whole trial is about.
Actually, no, it's not. It's not illegal to pay someone to keep quiet. It is illegal to use campaign funds and lie about where that money is going. That's what this trial is about.
He said he'd get her on the apprentice, but seems he lied about that.
No way. He lied, just to get what he wanted short term? 🙄
