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!

What's next? MyPillows?
Lol he didn't have the balls to charge $500. Even MechWarrior Online did that, they sold $500 gold mechs in a free to play game.
The signs reading "SNEAKERHEADS LOVE TRUMP" really just comfirms my opinion of most sneakerheads.
The sole is way too thin and there’s virtually no padding on the upper ankle. Also, you’ll have to lace them up the whole way every time like blazers, I’d imagine – just judging by the profile.
I dont know what he’s going on about. Those shoes are about as thinly made and unsupportive as his source material.

I hope every customer is looked into. All of his side projects smell like money laundering operations to me.
"Well, Judge, I purchased each pair at such a high price because my client, Mr. Ivan Oligarchsky, believed them to actually be solid gold and has no desire to return them."
"What's that? Oh, yes, the same is true of Sam Saudi, the other party I represented. He is also satisfied and would just like this whole thing to go away."
"As to my own culpability in assisting this alleged, ALLEGED, skirting of political fundraising guidelines (we don't like the term 'laws') I was acting as a broker for the rightful President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, so I declare immunity."
"Yes, I have seen The Office, why do you ask?"
"Mostly livestock law, you know 'was it coyotes or the damn Hendersons', but I have done some real estate for family. It's a small town. Very conservative. Not much call for lawyering."
Like the $99 NFTs that you could only buy 100 of, conveniently falling just short of the IRS reporting threshold?
I'm kind of naive and gullible. I'm a little embarrassed I hadn't considered this perspective. It seems so obvious now that you point it out for us.
It looks like the shoes Al Bundy invented
Christ alive, this grifter was the president of the united states
Except now he owes nearly half a billion in judgements against him. :-D
he still is... everyone else are just robot clones while he drains the swamp in the background /s

Finally, a good use for deep fakes. I need a gold Trump shoe being tossed at Jr, Stat.
