A place to discuss politics and offer political commentary. Self posts are preferred, but links to current events and news are allowed. Opinion pieces are welcome on a case by case basis, and discussion of and disagreement about issues is encouraged!

The intent is for this community to be an area for open & respectful discussion on current political issues, news & events, and that means we all have a responsibility to be open, honest, and sincere. We place as much emphasis on good content as good behavior, but the latter is more important if we want to ensure this community remains healthy and vibrant.

Content Rules:

  1. Self posts preferred.
  2. Opinion pieces and editorials are allowed on a case by case basis.
  3. No spam or self promotion.
  4. Do not post grievances about other communities or their moderators.

Commentary Rules

  1. Don’t be a jerk or do anything to prevent honest discussion.
  2. Stay on topic.
  3. Don’t criticize the person, criticize the argument.
  4. Provide credible sources whenever possible.
  5. Report bad behavior, please don’t retaliate. Reciprocal bad behavior will reflect poorly on both parties.
  6. Seek rule enforcement clarification via private message, not in comment threads.
  7. Abide by Lemmy's terms of service (attacks on other users, privacy, discrimination, etc).

Please try to up/downvote based on contribution to discussion, not on whether you agree or disagree with the commenter.

The media is fundamentally misunderstanding what’s happening here. Of course Trump is in the Epstein files. They’re releasing them anyway. What accountability will there be?

It’s not a misstep. It’s a flex. Yes, Trump was on Epstein island and did what all the other billionaires and their sycophants did there. He’s announcing it publicly. Who is going to do something about it?

I personally think it's more like...

"yes I'm in the files, but I never did anything wrong. Why would i be the one releasing them if I did? I was just using Epstein for partners for a game of backgammon but all of the Democrats in there. They weren't playing backgammon." While at the same time being a dog whistle to his paedophile buddies.
