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!

EDIT: linked to an aggregator before: https://share.newsbreak.com/gxvlsdg7

archived version of the aggregator link: https://archive.is/RfZq1

I recommend using the archived version of the aggregator. As this the original article is posted on a heavy tabloid page.

If you have issues with the content of this article in particular, please share.

If "grab 'em by the pussy" had no effect, or anything else so far, this probably won't either.

[–] Catma@lemmy.world 47 points 2 days ago (1 children)

"Grab'em by the pussy"

Mocking a disabled reporter

Soldiers who died were losers

"Hatians are eating the cats and dogs"

Shithole countries

Somalians are low IQ and froma hellhole country

Saying we should deport US citizens, specifically AOC, Ilhan Omar, and their squad

Saying he would date an 8 year old in 10 years

Reports of him walking into the Ms Teen USA dressing rooms

"Very fine people on both sides"

Just something more to add to the pile. Honestly never want to hear another person bitch about decoum in politics again. This is who we elected twice... the US deserves whatever we have coming to us.

Being epsteins best friend, saying how much they have in common because "he likes them young like me", being the president that promised to release the files, now having that power to do that and refusing to do so...

The same people that wanted to shoot up a pizza place and kids reading sessions in public libraries because of completely. imaginary links to pedophilia are totally fine with trump though.

Thanks for the archive link. Added to body.

Jesus H Christ.

I'm so tired of that pedophile.

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

I didn't think Trump liked legal redheads.

[–] Zephorah@discuss.online 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I’m so tired of creepy men who want kids to play with their penis. And this one is, somehow, above the law and President.

We are a bankrupt work force living in legal chaos bereft of both leadership and protection.

Honest reaction be like:

...and maga agrees 100% !

Wasn't the entire world gooning over her back then, though? Just saying, trump is psycho clown but everyone and their mother was commenting on her. Of all things, I think this is one of the much milder things he said or did. Old guys can jerk to porn, is it really that bad he had the hots for an adult woman?

Give me the trump/epstein files because there it's about actual minors

Trump has given orders to abduct and murder US and international citizens

Trump has raped women

Trump has raped children

The headline "trump gooned over an adult woman" is only news in that for once it was about an adult instead of a child.

I remember that too. She and others (Olsen twins, Hillary Duff immediately come to mind) were subject to a mass media campaign that literally had a countdown to when they turned 18. The implications were very clear, obvious, and widely accepted at the time. Fucking gross then and now.

I’ve used NewsBreak. As a news aggregator, it’s a questionable source of reliable information.

[–] Fermion@mander.xyz 1 points 2 days ago

Newsbreak straight up rips content with barely a mention of a source. I have a family member that shares their links all the time and I hate it because I have to search the title every time to find the actual article.

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world -3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (3 children)

I don't see the problem if she was 18 at the time. It's weird, but he has done and said far, far worse

Edit: I'm not saying it isn't creepy. I'm saying as far as Trump goes this is one of the most normal things he has ever said.

There's legal, then there's creepy as fuck.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Except it suggests he'd been waiting for a while to say something like that in front of people. "Oh she's 18, now I can talk about fucking her"

[–] elevenbones@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

Thanks for your opinion you fucking creep 🤣🤣🤣
