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!

Trump will not release these documents, because it would be suicide for his presidency, MAGA and his associates.
It's just bread and circuses for MAGA fans.
I guarantee they will be releasing a highly edited version.
Nice lol.
They will only show the names of deceased people.
And political opponents
That's WAS the highly-edited version
I'm not sure what could possibly be suicide for his presidency. He was a convicted felon before he was elected a second time.
Him saying he secretly likes Democrat policies and thinks they are better at governing (but he has to run because he's the property of Russia).
Although only the first part would be a deal breaker for the highly intelligent Republican voter.
This might be true if his supporters cared or the justice system would hold them accountable for anything. As it stands, it probably wouldn't even matter.
Oh, it will be true.
The "influencers" in question will edit, modify, and whatever else they need to present a version that shows the contents of the files in the "best light".
As in "no wrongdoing was done by Epstein, Chump, or anyone else"... "Everyone's exonerated"...
To the extent they're able to show.

He's protecting himself and his friends, just like any other politician in history. Go figure, Agent ORAGNE became the swamp.
He's Agent Red, or so-called by the KGB. Red was his skin color when they showed him their kompromat (evidence of him fucking children)?
ORAGNE is a play on his orange tan, and Agent Orange was a chemical used in the Vietnam War, it burned away swathes of the forests, as well as injuring many Vietnamese.
Of course. Trump is known to be compromised by Russia, which I considered to be of more concern that his gross fake orange tan.
Honesty kind of surprised they are even touching this issue, considering their favorite guy was there, a lot. Maybe I'm being paranoid, but I'm guessing they're editing trump out of the documents entirely. That way, they'll release it and say "look, he's innocent" and people will buy it. I hope this isn't the case.
