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!

Stacey Williams was born in 1968 which would have made her 25 years old in 1993 when this groping took place, so I believe I'd prefer some source other than timesnownews for a story about Trump groping a minor, before sinking my teeth into an October surprise that clearly has no basis in discernible truth yet

According to the Forbes article she later received a postcard in 1993, not that the groping occurred in 1993.

A former model has accused former President Donald Trump of groping her in 1993 during a visit she made to Trump Tower while in a relationship with late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, suggesting the interaction was part of a “twisted game,” in the latest accusation of sexual misconduct against the ex-president, which his spokesperson called “unequivocally false.”

I’m just starting the article, so I might have to eat crow in a sec, but it looks like all the accusations are 1993.

I also love getting downvoted for "quoting sources" and "stating facts."

The article posted here isn't about Stacey Williams, it's about an alleged tape where he gropes a minor.

There's no other source on this that I can find though, so I'm not holding my breath for that video to exist. The source is some twitter accounts.

That's probably the plan "trump groped a minor" "She was an adult! Therefor your argument has no legs!"

[–] FlowVoid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I just gave you two sources other than timesnownews

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 month ago

You linked two articles about an old and known trump groping from 31 years ago. Not an article about a new video of a groping during a fundraiser.
