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!

How tf this rapist outta jail
Do you remember the Senator's pedophile son in Sin City? Well look no further than the literal Senator's son Gaetz.
Posted this last night:
He's my Congressman, been following this from day-1. Nothing is going to happen, or it already would have.
His dirtbag friend, who was supposed to roll on conviction, was convicted, and did not. The girl in question, 17 at the time, is now an adult with an OnlyFans site. Not a good look for the prosecution, and she refuses to testify.
If you were paying attention in NW Florida, Gaetz STFU real quick while under investigation. Suddenly, The Mouth from the South was at it again. He's safe. He knows it.
This "investigation" is another stab at him since he's been acting the ass. Maybe they got an angle on him this time, but don't hold your breath.
Sorry folks. He's skating this. The man is certainly guilty of far more than fucking a girl <365 days from adulthood, but we got nothing that sticks.
FYI, they have new witnesses & these don't come with the baggage of an OnlyFans account.

Maybe not for long.

Unfortunately that won't go anywhere
I read somewhere they had received testimony from another victim, one without an OnlyFans, but I have no idea if that was true or not.
