Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

I don't think the kompromat angle makes sense at this point. It may have once but now? What could they have that would matter? Americans voted for him. Full on piss tapes being leaked online wouldn't make a difference.
Yup. We know he’s a rapist, a racist, and a criminal, and that didn’t lose him any support. What exactly could there be that would turn off his supporters? At this point I really don’t think anything would do it. They’d just say “well, on him it looks good!”
They could have Epstein videos of him fucking a thirteen year old and I'd bet there'd be a referendum on lowering age of consent to twelve. And I'm not sure it wouldn't pass at this point.
Why would they lower the age of consent for people who (in their eyes) don't have rights to begin with?
Is apparently a thing that some shitty psycho school boys have started saying to school girls in some parts of the country
I think it came from Andrew tate or another of those shitbags that have corrupted our youth.
At this point, even if there were photos of him fucking 10 yo kids, he would just say it is ai and his voter base would not give a fuck.
Do you not know how vain this old shit diaper is?? The man colors his skin orange. To him, it most certainly makes a difference.
Does it though? Trump cares about his crowd sizes. He doesn't give a fuck that people think he abuses women. He wears that shit like a badge of honor. He proclaims his corruption loudly and his fans think it makes him shrewd. I honestly can't imagine what Putin has on him that would matter. Maybe a picture of his tiny... hands, but he'd just claim it was faked.
In the vernacular of these fucks, isn't he cuck and a beta? For real, as dumb as it is, this is how they measure a man
Video of him with an underage blonde girl whom he calls “Ivanka”. She’s the one and only person he needs in his life. And she’ll abandon him.
They aren't "pee" tapes, they are P tapes - pedophilia
Wouldn't make a difference either.
Pedophilia gets higher support among republicans because it shows he can commit worse crimes and get away with it.
I feel like that would be different. Video evidence would remove a lot of plausible deniability.
Nobody would or could see the evidence as that would be very weird, immoral and also illegal. Very easy for the people denying it to just call it fake news or AI or whatever. It would require trust in the justice system which is pretty much non existent for MAGA followers, and more recently also eroded in the saner part of the population (albeit for better reasons).
I dunno. And of course the idea that there even is kompromat isn't substantiated. But if there is, and you accept the idea that Trump has NPD, then the answer is not whether the voters would care, but that he would.
