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!

This isn't ok
An innocent child will serve a lifetime of trauma while the pedo served only 6 months. Making America Great Again.

Rape... again? 🤷🏻
That's what I said, just in TitKokfilterlanguage that coincidentally makes the acronym match.
What do you think's going to happen after president Epstein got this guy out of prison? It's clear he will face no consequences if he does do it again
Oh, we keep our knives sharp
Any one else forget that our pedo President had a pedo preacher?
I feel like that could very well just be luck. Lots of pedo preachers.
Trump doesn't have any preachers in the normal sense. Trump is most likely a psychopath who wouldn't pay any heed to moral advice from anybody.
So, any preacher who he acknowledges like this is undoubtedly deeply corrupt and a con man. I wouldn't even be surprised if Trump chooses preachers who are compromised on purpose, so that they can be controlled. Trump famously tries to get people to swear personal allegiance to him.
I kinda figure they just met on the island.

LOL. Since when is any preacher NOT a con man? Keep drinking the Jesus juice.
If you really think there are zero preachers who honestly believe in their religion, then you are just as divorced from reality as they are.
Oh I believe some believe in the lie, but it's still a con and does not make it true.
I understand what you mean, then, but I think it's part of a definition of a con man that they know they are deceiving others.
con man
Perhaps, but the cognitive dissonance is real with these people. For example: eating and drinking the flesh and blood of a deity. Some are told to believe they are, but deep down know it's a lie.
That's the thing about those in power. They just need to be convincing enough to get a few people who are gullible, or easily-manipulated for one reason or another, to genuinely believe what they say, and then it snowballs from there
The authoritarian personality is a personality type characterized by a disposition to treat the voice of authority figures with unquestioning obedience and respect.
If you look at that Wikipedia page, you'll see that the largest correlation, in America, with authoritarian personality, is being poorly educated or being an evangelical protestant.
It's always the Christians and conservatives.
Birds of a shit feather…
