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!

Wait till you see how fast Melania moves on and profits from Donny’s death. She might set a land speed record.

Melania tacitly admitted during her husband's first term that she is a trophy wife and married Donald for money. When asked if she married Donald for the money, she responded "he wouldn't marry me if I'm not beautiful".

(Disclaimer: she's only talking about physical beauty. She's as ugly as the devils haemorrhoids on the inside)

[–] Wildmimic@anarchist.nexus 6 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I also have to add that she doesn't really look attractive too - the Mar-a-Lago face is a super ugly trend

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 6 points 11 hours ago

Eh, I think she's fine on that front, whatever procedures she has had are a bit lighter.

She doesn't have the over the top saw-face like others in the circle that have basically mutilated themselves with ill-advised procedures.

Once he is dead, all of those creditors he doged will be fighting each other to pick the corpse clean. She will probably be shredded in the feeding frenzy.

"Doged."

Heh heh.

Looking forward to that season of Shark Tank

Most of the money he's borrowed over the last couple decades links back to Russian Oligarchs so they will likely right it off as a business expense.

[–] 0_o7@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 12 hours ago

They'll make their base pay or crowdfund it, AGAIN. Dumcoin ftw!

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 4 points 18 hours ago

She will be poor as fuck when this is all over.
