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!

The telegraph is a Conservative Newspaper with a paywall. The Guardian is a more "centre left"/progressive newspaper (pro universal healthcare, facts matter etc) and it doesn't have a paywall, it has a cancelable "please consider subscribing".

He couldn't handle BBC.
He just couldn't grasp the BBC hard enough with his tiny ligitious hands.
Big Bill Clinton?
No, we're pretty sure he did grab him.
He can't handle anything because he's a moron. He probably had a dozen people tell him this was a bad idea.
As usual, the primary intention was never necessarily to win, only to intimidate.
BBC1, BBC2, BBC3, BBC4, BBC5, BBC6, BBC7, BBC Heaven!
I hope BBC goes after him regardless. Bring it all out in the open on that loser rapist flesh rot
They're almost certainly going to go after him for legal fees and his only defense would be that he believed there was actual harm which would also require release of his finances. He kinda fucked himself if they want to push it at all.
English law recognizes takebacksies, yes?
If there is no detriment for the attempt, the legal system is a tool of aggression, not justice. A claimed was made and the investigation should be seen to it's conclusion.
Well yeah. American justice system is just another tool for the rich to bully the poor into being quiet.
Ha no. Fuck that, he don't get taco out of this. Can BBC counter sue now? How do we get this discovery rolling?
BBC already filed a motion to oppose Trump's filing.
The judge who gets to decide if motions stay or not was appointed by Trump during his first term.
A bunch of Trump appointed judges have ruled against him.
I'd put them as more lawful evil, and less likely to be fans of Trump's chaotic evil.
What? I didn't know it was Taco Tuesday!
TACO Thursday! Close enough?
Edit: Woops! That's the name of the post. My bad.
Yeah, i didn't read the OP before commenting too. Oops.
Some people don't read the articles before commenting, and here you two are taking it to the next level!
Pathetic loser. What an embarrassment.
What’s he hiding? Hmmm?
Ha! Cornered the POS.
