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!

Amid sexual assault allegations against Florida GOP Chair Christian Ziegler, a sex tape of his wife, Moms for Liberty co-founder Bridget Ziegler, with a woman has been recovered by the police, according to a non-profit Florida watchdog group.

The Florida Center for Government Accountability report clarified it is not known if the woman in the newly-surfaced video is the same person accusing the GOP chair of sexual assault.

The woman accusing Christian Ziegler told the police she's had a longstanding sexual relationship with both Christian and Bridget Ziegler.

Bridget Ziegler is a member of Moms for Liberty, a conservative and known anti-LGBTQ nonprofit, and a member of the Sarasota School Board — whose members voted to call for her resignation earlier last week.

The best response that I've seen to this so far is this video of a former student speaking to the school board:

Bridget, our first ever interaction was when you retweeted a hate article about me from The Nationalist while I was a Sarasota County school student. You are a reminder that some people view politics as a service to others while some view it as an opportunity for themselves. On this board you have spent public funds that could have been used to increase teacher pay to change our district lines for political gain, remove books from schools, target trans and queer children, erase black history, and elevate your political career, all while sending your children to private schools because you do not believe in the public school system that you've been leading. My question is why doesn't an elected official using our money to harm our students and our teachers for her gain seem to matter as much for us as her having a threesome does? Bridget Ziegler, you do not deserve to be on the Sarasota County School Board but you do not deserve to be removed from it for having a threesome. That defeats the lesson we've been trying to teach you which is that a politician's job is to serve their community, not to police personal lives. So, to be extra clear: Bridget, you deserve to be fired from your job because you are terrible at your job, not because you had sex with a woman.

Every Republican accusation is an admission.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Agreed. I highly doubt these people really believe the shit they're trying to sell. They just know if you're going to grift, the best way to do it is on the right.

Fkn lol, of course she did. Side note: we should really be looking at all pizza shops in the DC area for a republican-led torture cult that rapes kids and extracts their adrenochrome.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 10 months ago

I'm certain that's Epsteins pedo ring and pizzagate was to drag Hillary into it.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Right? Just so I can make sure it was actually her. For verification reasons only.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 10 months ago (2 children)

You disgust me. I want to stay away from it. I don't care to see republican porn. Please send me the link so I know what to avoid.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, its appalling. We need the link to make sure nobody ever looks at it.

I don't care that she's bi, but I do hope her hypocrisy ruins the rest of her life.

There literally aren't enough bad things that can happen to #christofascists.

“It doesn’t count, we’re both Christian” —her probably

All sex is multiples if you leave room for Jesus.

I'm going to get a priest to bless the rains down in America and that'll baptize the entire landmass. There, now everyone is "christian" and they should be OK with people being gay.

/s There's like 3 terrible ways this is an awful idea.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago

bless the rains down in America

Gonna take some time to do the things we always had, huh?

Kind of a nice change of pace to see a closeted homophobe be a woman this time.

How are they so incredibly consistent!

I mean every time there's a prominent anti-lbgt figure they're almost always found diddling the same sex!

You think this ugly, homophobic pissant would produce good material? There's plenty of lesbian/bisexual porn out there starring much better and talented people than this human waste of space.

You know, I hate myself too. I don't use it as an excuse to hold other people down, though. Think about it, k.

Is this a new genre of porn? Dress people up business cloths slap an elephant on them and bam, milfs have extended their porn careers for decades to come..

Well well well, if it isn't Mrs. Projector....

As an open-minded person I shall refrain from making judgement until all the facts are in.

"Open-minded" means I can think she's a piece of shit while still jerking off to the video, right?
