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!

What I still don't get is why the dems didn't release the files when they could. We could have been freed from Trump and other pedophiles.
I’m assuming it’s most likely those files are also riddled with dems in them.
At this point, release the files and put everyone in them who’s guilty away. If they’re guilty of raping children castrate them.
America needs to rebuild its government from the ground up.
Death to pedophiles.
For most of Biden's term they were sealed under court order. But that ended Jan 1st, so there was 20 days to issue the order.
Also Merrick Garland was the fucking AG.
Over/ under hes named too?
If Biden had wanted Trump in prison, and the files released, I believe Trump would be in prison, and the files would be public. I mean, it was Garland's actual job, but fuck both of them.
Because a number of their nepotistic social institutions will crumble if they reveal the extent to which major democrat figures were equally involved with republicans, all setting aside politics together for this one, magical thing they love to do together... raping kids. Not passing bills together, not working together for the people, not setting aside differences for good things. And of course it would reveal the number of dems who at least knew about it but never said anything.
Remember, establishment dems are "old money," they thrive on political connection and social standing and all their political power comes from those lofty, liberal elitist social networks. Far more so than the right, they depend on having that perception of "propriety" and good social-standing.
In a somewhat ideal world, the files will be released and they would implicate the entire rotten core of our ruling class and it would result in the entire institution being cleared out for a new generation of leaders and representatives.
We do not live in that ideal world. In the years since the files were acquired, and particularly in the last two months or so when the government was shut down, they had every chance to bargain, to pay people, to hire expert data-assassins to make every video and photo disappear, and all we'll be left with is hints and shady references to aliases.
