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!

So is his treasury secretary Scott Bessent

He's just jealous he can't make a marriage work

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

One of these guys literally bought his spouse.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 days ago

He was probably trying to repeat a vicious joke that one of his henchmen told, and he botched it, because above all else, his primary characteristic is his virtuosic incompetence.

I'm sure than man is happier with his marriage than melania ever was.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

Melania is perfectly happy with her marriage, when she doesn’t have to be anywhere near Donald.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

At least he is married to a man. All Melania has is a geriatric toddler.

pete is also a veteran too.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

It's not like he hasn't mocked veterans before

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Pete's partner loves him though. Melania's only been at the wh for 10 days iirc. What a loser.

*Melanie, per Trump.

Well Trump married an illegal immigrant so maybe ICE should sort that out.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

So she immigrated legally, but essentially through a loophole. Why am I not surprised?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 3 days ago

Interesting, did not even know that Trump and Musk are married.

Because all of Trump's relationships are transactional, he can't fathom a relationship between two people who actually love each other and work together as equal partners.
