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!

Sure, criticize the woman for charging people for sex rather than the absolute chump who paid a quarter of a million dollars to hide the fact that he got his pee-pee sucked. That sure sounds like the type of smooth brain deflection a trump supporter would try, but the rest of us ain’t stupid or bigoted enough to fall for it.
Ohhhh, I thought for a moment he literally paid $230k for a hooker. Like, that's what it would take to get someone to suck him off. You're talking about the bribe after.
It says a lot that the first thing is still kinda believable, though.
Final transaction amounts to the same. Wouldn't be surprised if that's how he got Melania.
Ill say it.. I have no proof but think Melania works for Putin.
My point is that neither should be punished. But if one is, then why isn’t the other? As far as I know prostitution is illegal in this country, both for the Johns and those providing services.
The issue has nothing to do with sex work. Trump wasn’t being prosecuted for buying sex. He was indicted for using political donations to bribe someone, and you think that should somehow be legal? Just stop with this ridiculous exercise in whataboutism. Your head is way too far up your ass to make any sense.
