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!

Really depends whether Trump can handle the humiliation.

I like to think that Donnie knew it would bomb.

Melania has been treating him like garbage for years.

This way he could get a little money and have petty vengeance

Melania has been treating him like garbage for years.

Not sure if serious.

If true, then she’s right because he is absolute garbage

Back in 2017 she refused to leave New York and join him in the White House.

It's widely reported that her bedroom is on a different floor.

On January 6 she was as far away from him as she could get.

There are plenty of photos of her refusing to hold his hand in public.

Rumors abound that she was sleeping with her security staff

I don't consider her a 'victim,' because she'd met him before they got married. Two terrible people who hate each other

Trump gets doctored reports that say it's a tremendous success

His brain is so mushy that he’ll either hallucinate its success or completely forget the movie exists by next week.

Personally, I was eager to see it and super pumped to finally learn more about this fascinating and enigmatically beautiful woman. But while I was waiting in line with hundreds of other culture lovers, George Soros came strolling along and paid each of us a thousand quid to go and watch something better instead. So I went and saw The Smurfs and got pie and chips. I hear he's going to all the cinemas with these bundles of cash. Him and Obama, who was doing the cinema on the next street.

Without an /s tag I wasn’t sure if you were serious or not. /s

It's our resident @floofloof@lemmy.ca. A bastion of sarcastic wit that only a true Canadian can provide in our time of need!

Tap for spoilerThis is not /s. floofloof has like a +75 upvote rating from me! All love for our peace loving neighbors to the north!

He can always just throw her under the bus. He's had plenty of practice.
