In particular, the Tates were forcing girls below the age of consent into prostitution and working as camgirls.

Trump is just fucking villainous. They are on the side of evil and against justice.

[-] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 84 points 6 days ago

He is quite literally pro-corruption.

[-] lemmylommy@lemmy.world 54 points 6 days ago

Also, as the article shows, pro child-prostitution

[-] AmidFuror@fedia.io 37 points 6 days ago

He was accused of child rape in conjunction with Epstein. It didn't go to trial because the alleged victim was in fear for her life.

Trying to protect child sex traffickers certainly doesn't reflect well on that case. Or on anything, really.

Weren't the Q people against child sex trafficking?

[-] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 21 points 6 days ago

Apparently they are only against democrats sex trafficking children. It's okay when their side does it.

[-] wirebeads@lemmy.ca 83 points 6 days ago

When does the world declare the Trump Administration a terrorist organization?

[-] SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 38 points 6 days ago

Hopefully sooner than later.

Considering the US has the more millitary bases on foreign soil than the rest of the world combined...

Actually let me recontextualize this so you realize how much America has a gun to the rest of the world's collective heads. The number of foreign bases, exempting potential secret off the record ones, held by the totality of nations Other than the US is less than 100. The US has over 750 bases on foreign soil in over 80 countries.

How did you think America had gotten away with it's warcrimes scott free until now? Until America itself calls the shot the rest of us are basically on tiptoe.

Sing it with me!

It's so nice. I wanna post the same thing thrice.

[-] shani66@ani.social 47 points 6 days ago

This is genuinely insane. Like, this is more obviously and overtly evil than any manga, manwha, or fairytale I've ever read. The witch from Hansel and greatle had more moral ambiguity than this!

[-] lolola 7 points 6 days ago

Let's make a prequel to this fairytale so we can show how complex and sympathetic the villain is!

Oops they're still a villain.

That's finalized: The people behind Trump are literally EVIL.

[-] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 19 points 6 days ago

sexual misconduct, organised crime and money laundering

It's like the Tates are just brothers in arms... Mi familia!

[-] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago

Rapists gotta stick together.

[-] babypigeon@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

Yes, they should. Let's make a human centipede out of them.

[-] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 9 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

This is Trump looking out for his fellow pedophiles and sex traffickers. Surprised he doesn't offer them a cabinet position at this point.

[-] SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago

Unsurprising since Trump loves sex traffickers, pedo's, fraudsters and money launderers.

[-] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

I had no idea who these guys are, and had to look them up:

divisive internet influencer Andrew Tate

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Tate

I thought maybe he was some business mogul or something with an ostensible excuse for persecution, but… No, he’a just a former athlete, now famous for being famous? Like all he does is Tweet and post videos and stuff, kind of like a modern Paris Hilton.

Ugh, I wish a meteor shower would hit every single Twitter and Facebook data center right now. As tragic as it would be, YouTube too. The kind of monsters shameless engagement optimization produces is just not worth it.

[-] sndmn@lemmy.ca 6 points 6 days ago

Serial rapists gotta stand up for each other.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

The party of "protecting women"

[-] Lasherz12@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Way to admit that sex criminals are going to be the primary beneficiaries if USAID. GOP in a nutshell. The FBI is the only agency that deserves to die for not properly prosecuting these obvious deviants.

[-] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 days ago

That is telling.

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.

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.

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.

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.
