A legal expert said on Wednesday that the latest batch of documents from disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein is "explosive" and seems to implicate President Donald Trump's deputy attorney general in a massive "cover-up." On Wednesday, emails were released that directly contradict statements Epstein'...

    there really has to be some rule or some AP style guidance where you can’t have the adjective “explosive” for the noun “dump” in a headline.

    i mean, come on.

    About the legal expert…

    Ryan Goodman, a law professor and co-editor-in-chief of Just Security, discussed the documents on CNN’s “Erin Burnett OutFront.”

    “These are explosive,” Goodman said.

    Goodman is a social media law brain. Such liberal “experts” have been giving their takes that the Laws will take Trump down since halfway through Trump 1.0. “Explosive” is a new term. I’ll add it to my list.

        I was already tired of “legal expert” in headlines around 2018 because I was on Reddit all the time then and such posts were a r/politics staple. The articles were effectively clickbait because they were only the opinion of one person. But the headlines were copy-and-paste acceptable for that sub’s rules. The clickbait might get 10+K upvotes while a far more sober but accurate and factual article about the situation might get 300 upvotes.

        -–

        I think I went to r/politics once this year for a couple minutes. I just made another visit. A similarly titled article is at ~3K.

        Donald Trump “may not outlast” Epstein files scandal: Legal analyst (newsweek.com)

        It’s the fifth most popular article. Of the top five - four have “Epstein” in the title. In fact - when I scrolled down I saw it was crazy. The entire homepage is Epstein city. Libs are going to be so sad and frustrated when all of this comes to naught.

            My favorite comment from Trump 1.0 happened when I was arguing with a lib for the nth time. I realized I should have simply stopped talking 2 if not 3 comments before. I wasn’t going to convince them of my POV and vice versa.

            So - I’m being an idiot. Again. Somebody is wrong on the net. So what! I’ll end the convo on a form of detente and a positive note. I said that maybe Trump will have a massive heart attack and die and we’ll be rid of him. Their reply really surprised me. They said they absolutely did not want that! They wanted Trump to go on trial and be held accountable!

            I just had to laugh.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

  • To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).

  • To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.

  • To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don’t post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
