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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

She’s told so many lies…She must not be pretty enough for him now and a new younger model is coming in. Is the governor for Arkansas position opening up soon?

[–] KingPorkChop@lemmy.ca 26 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I have no doubt Trump thinks a vagina that has passed an infant is a ruined vagina.

Of course we all know he prefers vaginas that aren't old enough for that business.

[–] BuckFutter@timeyak.com 8 points 2 weeks ago

Yep he is such a horrible human being, including anyone in his orbit that supports him.

[–] RoidingOldMan@lemmy.world 27 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)
[–] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 2 weeks ago

Please. She'll be a show correspondent in a month.

[–] Not_mikey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 2 weeks ago

She doesn't need a career though, she's got a millionaire sugar daddy twice her age to provide for her and her spawn.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Are you for real? She'll be just fine. These people always are.

Book deals, speaking gigs, fucking "think tanks" and lobby firms, consulting, Fox News talking head... She'll do fine.

[–] DementedSociety@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

She looks at LEAST a decade older, and thats being nice. She really looks like shes at the end of 40s or early 50s and life has been ROUGH.

[–] MountingSuspicion@reddthat.com 33 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

She absolutely does not look 45+. Generally I try to avoid speaking on women's looks because really no one wins except the patriarchy, but my goodness that's just false. Say what you want about how she's an awful person, but if you think a 50 something year old woman generally looks like her you are too online to understand what women actually look like.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 21 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't think she looks fifty, but I'm forty and she looks older than me. She just looks like one of those middle aged people whose self-worth requires never being older than 29 so they ruin their face with tanning and surgery and botulinin toxin. And being hateful/angry really does seem to age your skin.

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 11 points 2 weeks ago

It's the dead eyes. I hope she lands on her feet from this, and then trips on something.

[–] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm 42 and she definitely looks older than me

[–] daannii@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

And I've always been good about wearing sunscreen but even so. I don't have any lines around my upper lip. She has a ton. It's from the stress of lying and having no ethics. And telling yourself it's all for Jesus.

Living a lie is incredibly hard on the body.

There is longitudinal research on closeted gay men. They have really poor health.

[–] mojo_raisin@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Took out Lady G, I think he was a fan of longitudinal research (in his butt)

[–] MrVilliam@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

She looks like a 40 year old who's putting a lot of effort into trying to look 25 and really looks 30. Hate and cosmetic interventions really fuck up a face.

[–] bigbangdangler@reddthat.com 5 points 2 weeks ago

This. I thought she just had Mar A Lago face like the other cronies.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago

Who cares what she looks like. She was Frau Propaganda.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

She can go back to her college training in... [Looks up]...softball.

[–] radiofreebc@lemmy.world 25 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

Her replacement is going to be Erika Kirk, isn't it?

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.cafe 7 points 2 weeks ago

Her, or Katie Miller.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 weeks ago

They have a factory somewhere.

If I heard this news from Karoline Leavitt, I wouldn't believe her.

[–] KingPorkChop@lemmy.ca 19 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Please let the replacement be the crazy woman with the witch eyes who always cries.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 weeks ago

Laura Loomer? Oh, that cockroach is slashing her own tires for internet ragebait and crying about the death of her bestest bestie Charlie that she was attacking 5 minutes before he leaned left.

[–] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago

It will go along with the hubris and the lies. Hopefully she gets no pies or isn't wise.

[–] SailorFuzz@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago

It's time for

Scaramucci 2

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

Mrs Leavitt is gonna spend her time now drinking around in a Panther De Ville looking for 101 Dalmatians in order to make herself a coat.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Did she stop giving him blowjobs?

[–] DementedSociety@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

No, that's a life long commitment.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 weeks ago

Propaganda Barbie is off to spend time with Ken. Hope she chokes to death on his buddy's dick. .

[–] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Didn't he just spend the weekend with a new young blond on his plane while Melania was away?Any bets on if she's the new Press Secretary?

[–] First_Thunder@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Wait, aren’t her lips lovely?

[–] SHBI7368@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

must be an upgrade she used to have fish lips

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

So who's ready for Baghdad Barbie 3?

[–] daannii@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Thought she was supposedly pregnant. Seems like that was a lie to grift sympathy. Like Erika kirk.

I figured as much because women know miscarriage is common in first 2 months and usually it's not announced publicly until after that point.

[–] TryingToBeGood@reddthat.com 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (3 children)

...? again? She just had a baby in ~~February, I think.~~ May.

Did Trump sing Sweet Kkkaroline as she left?

[–] stumu415@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 weeks ago

TDIL there is an expiration date for selling your soul.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I love Wonkette's article on it, LOL.

https://www.wonkette.com/p/lying-mouthpiece-karoline-leavitt

But Karoline Leavitt topped them all — in meanness, in dumbness, in the size and visibility of the cross she would wear around her neck so we would know she was very godly while she lied to us. Her willingness to stand up in the White House press room and fire off the most insane lies, to glaze Donald Trump as the greatest president anyone had ever seen, to back up his late-night social media ramblings as if they were the most profound of statements and not the faint sparks of a diseased and dying mind, was breathtaking.

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 2 points 2 weeks ago

For family reasons, no doubt.

[–] Canconda@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I thought she had already left for a job at Faux News lmao

[–] SecretSauces@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

She is a decade older than I am, and he looks older than me. And that's AFTER having plastic surgery. Oof.
