Lol these people can't understand rights, in this case their favorite freedom of speech. They only understand control.

If he actually uses adult diapers (and there are a lot of hints that he does!), he can't even control his bodily functions!.

Hey, MAGAs, what is that telling you?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Well, for one he's not full of shit, but his pants might be.

Trump and Vance are pretending they are more pro choice than they actually are. Roe V Wade was fine, and nobody was trying to expand it (despite what republicans would tell you). Trump ended Roe V Wade and now we’re in this shit situation.

Melania coming out pro choice is just Trump’s way of seeming more pro choice (yes, of course he pushed her to make this statement). Vance’s BS during the debate was the same thing.

I have a feeling someone is saving a divorce when a loss is confirmed.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago (6 children)

Naw. Here's my completely uninformed theory:

Melania is Trump's second wife, and he's exactly the kind of douchebag who'd have an iron-clad pre-nup. I think she's staying with him because (a) he probably doesn't touch her anymore, and spends his little-hands time with other women, (b) he's still a source of income for her, and (c) she gets nothing, or a pittance, if she divorces him. It may be that if he divorces her, she gets a payout, which would explain why he hasn't moved on to wife #3, but he's got the cake and is eating it, too; the real conundrum is why she hasn't left him yet. My money's on a pre-nup.

Could be... I mean if you think about it she's hiding out in the one state where he can't really do anything. She also seems to be subtlety egging him on with criticizing Florida's weather and by association the Trump abode. Now she's contradicting her hubby's view on abortion. Like goading him to slip up and either run away or break one of the stipulations.

She could also be playing a long game, of sorts, and just doing it to increase his stress level. If you think about it, with his very likely unhealthy diet, his age and physique, along with the seemingly increase of droning on; adding the stress of even more controversy on top (other than his legal woes) could easily lower his life expectancy like a stone.

Either way, we won't know until after the dust settles following the election. But I do stand by my opinion that there is trouble in "paradise" and something has to be brewing.

Melania is wife #3. Ivana was first (Mom of Jr, Eric, and Ivanka), then Marla Maples (Mom of Tiffany), then Melania (Mom of Barron).

Memucan then replied to the king and the officials, "The wrong of Queen Vashti is not against the king alone, but against all the officials and all the people who are throughout all the provinces of King Ahasuerus. For the matter concerning the queen will spread to all the women, leading them to treat their husbands with contempt, saying, 'When King Ahasuerus gave orders to bring Queen Vashti into his presence, she would not come.' And this very day the noble ladies of Persia and Media who have heard the matter concerning the queen will respond in the same way to all the royal officials, and there will be more than enough contempt and anger! If the king is so inclined, let a royal edict go forth from him, and let it be written in the laws of Persia and Media that cannot be repealed, that Vashti may not come into the presence of King Ahasuerus, and let the king convey her royalty to another who is more deserving than she. And let the king's decision which he will enact be disseminated throughout all his kingdom, vast though it is. Then all the women will give honor to their husbands, from the most prominent to the lowly."

I'll be honest I didn't have Melania Trump on my October Surprise bingo card.

Oh, FUCKING REALLY?? THATS what it takes for the cult to turn on him. ForafucksSake, what a bunch of jackasses.

I'm ready for the timeline where Melania saves the world.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Remember "I don't care, do you?" She's as bad as any of them.

The entire "article" is based on one tweet from one guy. Guess that guy is "MAGAs".

I suppose it's as solid as "lots of people are saying it."

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Everybody says so. Many such cases.

Welcome to the level of rigor they treated antifa with, or those _____ slammed by twitter articles.

Nor his consonants!

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago

To be fair. I imagine they would be hard for anyone to manage.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Internally consistent MAGAs. Good lord, now I've seen everything.
