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!

'If it will cause him pain for something to give money to certain things — Perhaps a fund for the women who have been sexually assaulted by Donald Trump.'

E. Jean Carroll on Monday talked about what she plans to do with the $83.3 million former President Donald Trump was ordered to pay her in her defamation case.

"I don't want to waste money," Carroll said while on making an appearance on ABC's Good Morning America.

"I do have an idea. I'd like to give the money to something Donald Trump hates," she continued. "If it will cause him pain for something to give money to certain things — Perhaps a fund for the women who have been sexually assaulted by Donald Trump."

Lol she seems to think Donny will pay up

She’s never going to see a penny of it, sadly.

Exercise equipment? Windmills? A safe for documents?

Buy out all the McDonald's near Mar-a-Lago and force them to close.

Also lobby the EPA to force the use of more energy efficient light bulbs, cars, and more water-efficient toilets.

Create a fund that helps people replace their gas stoves with electric ones.

Trump would lose his shit and spout incomprehensible nonsense until the day he dies! Oh wait, he's already in that state...

The Constitution

Large gloves

Good taste? Exercise? Reading? Empathy? The list is so so long.

Vegetables?

Give the money to ukraine.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Donate some of it to Biden, his money funding Biden would give him an aneurysm.

Use the rest to fund the cases of his other victims that can't afford to go up against Trump.

Donate money to the rich ruling class!

Err fuck no?

Donate money to a charity that helps people like immigrants or LGBT community.

Contact the lawyers of the Jane Doe who claims Trump and Epstein raped her at the age of 13. She dropped the case due to death threats. Maybe she could be convinced to go forward with it now if Carroll pays for legal costs and heavy 24/7 security for her. Trump would really hate that.

[–] [email protected] 67 points 9 months ago

This is the best suggestion since it's what Carroll stands for and it would give others the confidence to confront their abusers.

Hey Jean, word on the streets is that he absolutely detests the fact that I don't own a 2005-06 Ford GT.

Shut up Meg

Buy a couple Republican senators and representatives. Turn them blue.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

You mean from asphyxiation, right?

Run constant ads on Fox “News” calling him a rapist - at least that will be more truthful than the way he treated Central Park 5.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Don't they review their advertisers? No way they'd let that through for any money.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

more truthful

you mean true

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

So Biden just got a sizable donation to his campaign?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago

So not Ivanka('s body) or his own ego. She left herself a lot of room there.

“I do have an idea. I’d like to give the money to something Donald Trump hates,” she continued.

Eric?

EDIT: I want you all to know that I beat Colbert in telling this joke.

Or any of his children not named Ivanka, really.

Buy a giant billboard showing trump without all his make up, with his gut hanging out

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago

Every billboard in every red district in the country.

But really, funding other victims’ security and legal costs would be the best for everyone.

The New York statue, in Union Square, was removed early that afternoon; the New York City Parks Department made a statement that it "stands firmly against any unpermitted erection in city parks, no matter how small".

I can't

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

That's a lot of options left open.
