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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
That's all the rules!

The Epstein files law requires they release the names. Prosecution can be left to the states.
The Epstein files law requires they release the names.
Yep. This is the new left hand of the regime telling Congress, "Fuck you, we're not going to obey your law."
Prosecution can be left to the states.
Not so much...
The law requiring release of the Epstein documents is a federal law, so the federal justice system has jurisdiction.
And each state only has jurisdiction over acts that took place within that state.
It's federal, that's fine then. We'll just go to the head of the DOJ and have him go and... arrest... the head... of the... DOJ... Right, right... I see the issue here...
Wait, wait... I think you're doing it wrong. Lemme try.
We need the DOJ to prosecute the... DOJ... Because they aren't following their laws?
What if we start with a flow chart?
Why we need the midterms to out the right and take back majority. Also why Trump wants to cancel the midterms. But jokes on us even if the Democrats took control they wouldn't do it either. They control by the same group of elite pedophiles.
Bold of you to assume they care about the law.
We are going to PROTECT Child Rapists!
-Republicans!
You know another name for Pedophile Protectors?
Pedophiles.
~~going to protect~~
That's not how this works.
This FUCK is just another gatekeeper who needs to be forced out of the way.
Ideally, we are at a moment for a whistleblower to come forward or leak all the files to torrent sites across the internet so they can be accessed by all.
If I had access I would leak it all in a heartbeat even if it meant my death.
This FUCK is just another gatekeeper who ~~needs to be forced out of the way~~ have their top half separated from their bottom half by being drawn and quartered.
ftfy.
Slight quibble: being quartered means having your top half separated from your bottom half and your left half separated from your right half. The "drawn" part means you're dragged around the city first. Otherwise you're 100% correct.
To quibble your quibble..
If you are drawn and quartered, wont technically, also, your top half be separated from your bottom half, and incidentally, your left from your right?
Calm down, calm down. We can compromise like reasonable people here: meet in the middle by ripping him into three pieces.
To be honest I always had the imagery of horses doing the work, so the “quarters” would be three limbs and a remaining limb still attached to the rest of your body.
You know there is like, a split second where it probably feels really, really good.
Yeah that sounds like you need to be hung by your feet from a tall place.
Edit: and what the fuck is up with the stammering sheepishness? Put these fucker's feet to the fire dont make them feel like the big man in the room. Put some fucking venom in your questions.
There are no journalist left in the room to push questions. The people we hear asking are the weak ass leftovers who capitulated on "gulf of america" and handpicked replacements from fly-by-night rightwing podcasts/blogs.
Circle of suits. Sue DOJ, but they determine they don’t need to be sued for breaking law.
Yet another Constitutional crisis. Add it to the pile.
The titles are each missing a colon.
The new Acting Attorney General, Todd Blanche[:] We’re not going to prosecute the predators in the Epstein files or release their names to the public
Acting AG[:] We’re not going to prosecute the predators in the Epstein files or release their names to the public
Weird they can't even spare a colon when there are so many assholes to go around...
Just the victims. So nothing has changed.
...and whyzzat now?
I am angry about the Epstein files as well, but the title does not describe what he said at all.
if you protect the pedos you are one of the pedos.
Or benefiting from the corruption in some other manner... Financial, protection from law enforcement/mafia, etc.
The new Trump response:
"Yeah, we lied. Deal with it."
What happens if the senate never confirms a new AG? Do we just get this dirtbag in perpetuity?
That was Trump's go-to his first term. Why not the second? These ghouls are lasting longer than ever.
This guy would grind into a nice paste.
A while back, I wanted to tell my son about some other crime this monster had admitted to, and my son didn't know who I was talking about, so I described him as Fred Flintstone's uglier, stupider brother, and my son instantly knew who I was talking about. Ever since then, I just refer to him as Todd Flinstone.
