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!

Besides the child-fucking, I thought prostitution was illegal? Or does that not matter for the elitists like Gaetz?
It doesn't matter for right-wing elite.
Yes, fair point. That is an important distinction. They whipped up nonsense about Hillary trafficking kids from the basement of a basement-less pizza parlor based on absolutely nothing, and created an entire movement over that nonsense. Normal Americans point and laugh at such absurdity, but many of the deplorables STILL fervently believe in qanon insanity.
Meanwhile, Gaetz is credibly accused of ACTUALLY doing it, and.....crickets.
Every accusation is a confession
Hmmm maybe we should do a recount of the 2024 election what with all the accusations of fraud coming from the right.
I said the same damn thing. A few hours into the 5th, and Trump was over there yelling VOTER FRAUD! VOTER FRAUD! and then absolutely fucking nothing. Haven't heard a peep about it since. Funny how it's election fraud when he loses, but perfectly fine and normal when he wins. Hmmmm.....
gotta persecute trans people and librarians to keep the children safe.
and they elect and protect this kid fucker.
