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!

Looks like even Melania is getting a last-minute grift out there before Trump loses again, just like everyone else in that horrible family.

How many bananas is that, cost-wise?

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 months ago

I mean, it's one pair of shorts, Michael...

RIP an acting queen

"You’ll always be the Slovenian-American Eva Braun to me. Your place in history will not be demure and mindful. It will be a stain."

Holy shit, what a great insult.

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago

omg absolutely brutal

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 75 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Melania wrote a book? Who did she plagiarize it from?

When she stole Michelle Obama's speech and even the apology.

[–] just_another_person@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago

See my comment in the post. You are dead on.

[–] vegeta@lemmy.world 43 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Of course she is suffering from the high price of food, I mean have you seen the price of beluga caviar lately?

Well, you can see it here.

Also, here's a nice overview of what it is and why it's so expensive. I didn't know that particular species of fish was almost extinct because of overfishing.

As humanity we kind of suck, don't we?

[–] RustyShackleford 7 points 2 months ago

We’ve always sucked, we just tell ourselves we’re good. Religions are more like a nicotine patch, so you can tell yourself you’re gonna make it.

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 38 points 2 months ago (1 children)

LMAO "lost his job."

what a bitch.

[–] just_another_person@lemmy.world 29 points 2 months ago

Even worse, these motherfuckers think it's a job and not a civil service and privilege. Fucking out of touch.

[–] SmokumJoe@lemmy.world 30 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh shit, I thought she was dead

[–] WaxedWookie@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Only behind the eyes and on the inside generally.

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 26 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I really don't care, do you?

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

"It was for the people and for the left-wing media who are criticising me. I want to show them I don't care. You could criticise whatever you want to say. But it will not stop me to do what I feel is right."

Literally brave

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

So when she made her slogan 'be best' it was for the right wing nutjobs who couldn't be bothered to learn decent grammar, in spite of touting their white nationalistic pride at every immigrant who braved their shores?

[–] Myxomatosis@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

Thank your dumbass husband for that, Melanoma.

[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Next ask her about physics, guys. We'll find that "talent" that got her a green card eventually...

TBF i think we've already seen it in the last three words of the title.

[–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 14 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Gotta make sure Trump stays in the news cycle and wins, guys!

[–] simplejack@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That didn’t happen the last time around, and he was in the news plenty.

[–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It was damn close. Also, why gamble?

[–] simplejack@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Because when people are reminded how much Trump sucks, they show up and vote against Trump.

He lost the mid term and he lost the second general election. His fuck ups dominated the news during both of those elections.

He started rebounding in the polls when he was being quieter than normal and people stopped paying attention to him.

Don't have a cow, man
