Rules:

The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

I think they both have two motives: they are ideologues (neoliberal, fascist), and they are self-interested. MOST of the time, those interests align - at least enough to cooperate. But when they stop aligning to the point that any loyalty that exists is strained, then things fall apart.

Iran is a distraction from Ukraine
California marines are a distraction from Iran
Epstein is a distraction from deportation of Americans

what's next? my guess, China. I've been seeing a large increase of fluff reporting China as "winning" and "growing".

It's not fluff, they stand to gain the most from our downfall.

In short nothing.

But MAGA was built on conspiracy theories and their messianic leader isn't looking so messianic. If the Epstein files aren't released to confirm their belief in a Democrat deep state sex trafficking pedophile ring then what was it all for? And questioning their beliefs or any kind of introspection is impossible for them. Either a new leader will be chosen, Trump smooths things over with them, or MAGA fractures into various factions.
