      Chuck Schumer can hardly wait to send more sternly-worded questions in a letter!

          I want a president who is just as cruel as Trump but towards republicans and their voters. I want to see them belittled and insulted and mocked constantly on the national stage for the next 10-15 years to balance the scales. I want to see the president lie constantly about their mandatory reform plans for the red states and troll/distract them with extreme executive overreach on inconsequential issues that piss off the MAGAts most with a “What are you gonna do about it, pussy?” attitude or just say it out loud at the podium to rile them up. I want them to keep the current level of ICE funding and dedicate all of it to hunting down radical right wing hate groups and sending THEM to El Salvador, then disband it when the mission is done. I want them to sign executive orders and implement policies that takes every single one of the right wing media’s insane talking points and dials it up to 11. Every time the right squeals move further to the left until they piss themselves. Force redistricting in every red state in a way that unfairly favors democrats. Pass federal voter suppression laws that make it easier for the originally targeted demographics to vote while disenfranchising rural whites. Go after churches that get political, ban them from funding candidates and revoke their tax-exempt status, capping it off with an “Inshallah” post on Xitter. Allow Blue States to opt out of their federal taxpayer funds being sent to red states as long as they continue to be shitbags and make it an official policy in those exact words. Pack the supreme court and fuck shit up on OUR behalf. I want the next Dem president to show some fucking teeth and fight dirty.

          Basically I want a president whose platform is “Sit down, shut the fuck up, get with the program and also fuck you”.

      Don’t take this the wrong way, but, is there evidence that he had inappropriate relations with a minor?

      I’m not trying to defend the guy at all, I’m genuinely curious what I may have missed. I tend to skip over most of the Trump coverage in the media… I’ve seen enough of that Tropicana shithead.

      I know there was some pretty strong correlations with Epstein that was brought to light recently, and I think someone testified that he was present at events that included under aged persons, but I have yet to see him accused of any specific activity. He was just… There.

      I mean, I don’t need any evidence to dislike the guy, but if I am to take up a defensible position against those that are still deluded enough to support the commander and cheeto, I would like to be working from a solid source.

      Thanks in advance. <3

        On October 25, 2016, allegations were made by two men stating that Trump had attended and partaken in sex parties filled with underage minor females as young as 15 years old who were induced with promises of career advancement.[174] Illegal drugs were also alleged to have been provided to the minors.[175]

        Wikipedia

        There’s another story about Epstein poaching an underage massage parlor worker from chump that pissed him off. Haven’t looked for a source.

        Looks like the party line will eventually be that girls that have gone through puberty are really women and that makes it okay. It’s pretty disgusting, I’m waiting for them to start making a distinction between pedophilla and hebephillia.

        Like a technical distinction where Fox News brings on a tame doctor that explains that it’s normal for older men to fuck/rape 14-15 year old girls.

          Thank you very much. This is the first I’ve heard that his attendance was to a sex party for underaged persons, and that he partook in the event. Even if it’s “just” an allegation.

          Hebephilia is a new term for me as well; my immediate opinion is that anyone bothering to make the distinction between paedophilia and hebephilia, is already problematic and likely either trying to justify paedophilia, or differentiate some action to distance it from paedophilia, despite it meeting all of the criteria for paedophilia.

          I can sort of understand attraction to persons who have completed their physical development (post-pubescent) who may not be legally an adult yet… Not that I would agree or even condone anything of that nature, but hebephilia, for anyone who doesn’t know, is attraction to those in the early stages of puberty. Regardless of what it’s called, you’re a fully grown adult and should have enough self discipline to refrain from pursuing any inappropriate and/or illegal intimate relations. Grow up, be the adult you are.

            Yeah, it’s disgusting. What’s arguably worse is that all this has been known for like a decade. There’s all kinds of sound and fury about it now. I figure it’s media manipulation by the really rich fucks as warning shot across chump’s bow to tell him to quit fucking up the economy and stay in his lane. Soon this fury will decline, even here on Lemmy, and he’ll go back to fucking kids or putting them in concentration camps or whatever as long as he quits fucking around with tariffs and global trade.

              Exactly. I worded my statement quite deliberately, that these things have been brought to light. The information was there, we’re just putting it in the lime light now…

              Regardless, the depressing part is that you’re probably correct with why all of this is being brought up… There seems to be a power struggle of massive proportions going on and all of us “little people” are caught in the middle.

              It will stay that way unless someone else follows in Luigi’s footsteps, or one of the powerful people in this pissing contest backs down.
