2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods.

"Donald Trump shielded from child molestation charges by supreme court under presidential acts doctrine"

"Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas notes that presidential child molestation is a time honored american tradition starting with Thomas Jefferson"

That would have been Alito. Also the bible said it's okay, probably.

Gotta marry her tho. Them's the rules.

Unless she's your slave concubine, then you're fine. But you should free your own children.

Also, Sally Hemings was very likely the daughter of John Wayles, Jefferson's father-in-law. Which makes Sally Hemings the half-sister of Jefferson's, by then, dead wife.

She was also between 14 and 16 when Jefferson took her as a concubine.
