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!

All elon has to do is spend money in every paper and news site across the country every day. Over and over and over.

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 26 points 4 days ago (2 children)

He could buy a few news outlets like his other billionaire buddies.

[–] thedruid@lemmy.world 22 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yep start a 24 hour news channel dedicated to trump and his Epstein connections

Make it ketamine-infused, and go for 25 hrs!

K-hole all news and machine elves all the time!

[–] Nomecks@lemmy.ca 8 points 4 days ago

Maybe he should buy a social media site with a ton of reach.

A coordinated distraction from what?

  • National Guard in LA abusing people
  • Alligator Auschwitz
  • Supreme Court allowing the firing of the federal government?
  • Trump causing deaths of children in Texas?

Other options?

[–] makyo@lemmy.world 22 points 3 days ago (1 children)

And the two MN Dems who were assasinated

SPOILER ALERT:

Nothing will happen.

[–] Fades@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

both parties refuse to release the evidence and the lists

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 8 points 3 days ago

Gasoline would be more perfect.

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Let’s not also forget that Elons brother lived with Epstein for years. And they both were on the list. (That doesn’t exist)…

[–] AoxoMoxoA@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Someone needs to make a meme of trump and elon as the island boys with a caption " epstein island boys"

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Oh good. Muskrat can make the American Party and demand the "Epstein Files" be released. After he wins the presidency he can then not release them. The circle of politics!

[–] Gaja0@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Fiasco makes it sound like Trump had a poorly planned birthday party for Epstein.

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago

Fiasco makes it sound like there will be any negative repercussions for Trump whatsoever, and we both know that's not happening

tbf, Trump's birthday was poorly planned as well
