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!

Summary

Donald Trump spent election night at Mar-a-Lago with Philipp-Anders Rau, a far-right German politician from the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party, which is classified as a “suspected extremist” group by German intelligence.

Rau, convicted of theft and accused of appearing in pornographic films (which he denies), praised the meeting with Trump on social media.

The AfD has promoted extremist policies, including mass deportation.

Despite Rau’s controversial history, he was allowed entry due to a formal invitation.

What a garbage headline... The "pornstar" bit completely buries the lede for the sake of clicks by making people think this is another Stormy Daniels situation, but this is not that.

This dude is a German politician and literal Nazi, which is far more interesting and important than the fact he may have done some porn.

This is the worst kind of clickbait.

The piece of shit is basically a nazi, and they're going with "porn star"? Appearing in adult films is the least concerning aspect of his personality.

There is "Far-Right Porn"? We can't even get apolitical porn anymore?????

I’m sure nazi porn is a real thing somewhere.

Nazi porn and race play where white people talk shit to black people are both definitely genres of porn.

Why is it "alleged"? Is it difficult to determine if a given person appeared in porn?

the orange maniac is probably looking for a hookup on some new Hugo Boss uniforms for his SS detail

“In this instance, this individual was physically screened and permitted to enter because he was included on a formal invitation,” a United States Secret Service spokesman told the Beast.

We wouldn’t have let him into our party except we invited him.

Garbage article, but I guess you don't really have time to ensure quality when you're posting 30 times a day...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Oh, no! I'm definitely not voting for him now.
