Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

Freshman high school "persuasive paper" assignment.
Not sure which, but it's at least one of those.
Of course, these interpretations can be very funny. Yet they risk trivialising the dynamics of an intimate partnership under intense public scrutiny. They also obscure the reality that Melania has consistently defended and supported her husband’s policies and public stances; evidence that she does indeed have agency in their relationship.
Ah yes, because what someone says publicly can never be coerced or lack authenticity.
Some interpret reports of her ironclad prenuptial agreements and carefully staged public appearances as acts of agency. These people argue that Melania is showcasing her ability to navigate a high-stakes marriage for personal benefit. But by focusing solely on curated moments of perceived discomfort, the internet perpetuates a selective narrative that erases Melania's active participation in Trump’s political life.
No really, she loves and supports him. Trust me bro.
I was trying to go along with this article until I got to them criticizing the $Melania meme coin like that's something the internet did. That's the part where I just got fed up and said "Okay, but who's doing this meme based mythmaking? Because it seems like it mostly benefits her as a smokescreen to her own problematic conservative politics."
