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.

I'm not sure we need to hold him responsible for shit he said in the 70s when he raped a child in the early 2000 and lead and insurrection this less than 4 years ago. There is plenty of new things to use against him.
We can use all of it....
Probably 80% of the world were saying racist things in the 70s.
It's impossible to prove, a fools pursuit.
This guy says the n-word
Being more selective is more impactful, I think. Basically, what's the stuff that really matters? I'd argue this doesn't, but raping kids and leading insurrections, I'd argue does. Gotta separate the wheat from the chaff.
Pointing out his past shitty behavior would give a foundation for pushing back when he fucks up now.
Say if in the debate he mumbles something that sounds like the n word. If he has a history of saying it then excuses like "he said she was a rigger, like she rigged the election" are easier for reasonable people to ignore.
(For those who haven't seen the episode, it was naggers.)
I'm blown away
There isn't evidence that he raped a child. The media investigated and found that the people trying to sell the story were not credible. I don't like Trump either but to make accusations like child rape without a conviction is bad faith. At least argue in good faith.
Bet.
Multiple times trump was recorded saying he wanted to have penetrative vaginal intercourse with his (then underage) daughter.
Oh, also I haven't seen anyone in more photos with Epstein (other than his lady accomplice of course).
Can you connect the dots? Doubt.
I don't want to defend Trump, and I am certain you're correct, but that's far from clear cut evidence.
wasn't trump on like 7 epstein flights including at least one with an underage girl onboard and was referenced just shy of 70 times in the epstein trials? He was known to ogle girls in the dressing rooms for his beauty pageants. Not to mention his "grab them by the pussy" comment and the fact he lost a defamation trial about denying having raped a woman.
It seems really illogical to say there's not a lot of circumstancial evidence that reasonable people can conclude he did these things even if it isnt absolute certainty.
Similar to the child molestation accusations toward Michael Jackson, people will forgive a celebrity they like endlessly in defiance of any rational thought.
This is the funniest way I've ever seen to call someone a bot
I'm stealing it
Just don't use it in News, Politics, or World News. :) See the enhanced civility rule.
Renoved, see the new civility rule.
Lmfao trump most definitely raped children with his best bud Epstein.
Now do the insurrection allegation.
What people are you talking about?
