Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

- 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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

Outside of DoJ actually prosecuting Trump and the others implicated in the file (what does my head in is despite what we've seen so far is the idea that nothing in the files is actionable) what is the point?
The DoJ was able to make a case against Ghislane but no one else? Yeah right.
If the government cannot, will not, prosecute then what is the point of the files? And because it's all underlined with the "some of the accusations are unfounded and invalid" it gives the MAGA sphere the ability to put their cognitive dissonance glasses on and argue it away.
Just like how they argued and denied the mountains of evidence, especially in relation to his sexual assault cases, much of it from the fucker's very mouth, that he was a rapist and paedophile.
We knew this back in 2014-2015 during the campaign that he had raped and sexually assaulted women under the age of 18 in his competitions. We already have strong circumstantial evidence that he raped his daughter. We even have a court of law stating he is a rapist.
Not to to mention the many, many, many women, long before Epstein, all stating Trump had raped them.
At this point who needs these files? And don't give me that if the public know so they don't vote for him.
And this is just the personal matters against Trump. You could write for days the crimes he has wrought against so many people and countries (ie ICE concentration camps for adults and children, invasions, kidnapping Heads of state, missile attacks, bombings, threatening neighbours/allies, destroying global health efforts, destroying institutions, purposefully making millions starve to name a few)
It's everywhere and not just against openly fascist and illegal agents and government officals. Even in blue states state and local law enforcement agencies are refusing to enforce laws (even existing ones) that ICE are not just putting a toe over but who are openly shitting on.
Your system was already semi broken. This whole affair has revealed the wood rot behind the wall.
Decades of civil rights abuses, murder and perniciously aggressive prosecutions against minorities of all backgrounds has shown your is just a pretty a nice to have guidelines. (and even then it's a pretty flawed document)
What should be happening is Schumer and the other conservative liberals (and the progressive socialists) get up, shut down the government and declare a general strike with the until Trump is arrested and his government removed. Including the removal of the corrupt judges in the supreme court.
Words don't cut it anymore.
