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!

Like can't we just say he's a fucking criminal rapist?
The amount of waffling language is fucking infuriating. He didn't just violate the law, he said "fuck the law" and broke it willingly.
Any regular citizen would have had their ass in prison over statutory rape and prostitution fucking years ago. This entire shitshow is corrupt from top to bottom. When I was a kid, this is the kind of shit they said happened in lawless countries.
Well, they cannot call donvict that without having to pay donvict off, so I guess they'll be just as milquetoast here. But even before the donvict shakedown, they've always been this "objective" about qon criminals. I think one of the peak examples of this was when Ronnie Raygun died and seeing the "liberal media" treatment of that....hooboy.
The feds dropped the investigation into statutory rape because the girl wouldn't testify and opened an OF site. Also, his buddy Joel didn't flip when he landed in prison.
We now they're BOTH talking. I see no legal reason Florida can't prosecute for statutory rape as the age of consent in Florida is 18. I don't think double jeopardy applies here?
EDIT: Reading the report now. Looks like way more he can be nailed with! WAY more!
