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!

"Janna Ellis? I hardly know her."

"She was never my lawyer, but also attorney client privilege means she can't testify against me!"

Eventually, Trump will be like "Donald Trump, no, I'm Ronald Turnip. I don't know any Trump "

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm hoping he tries to convince Don Jr to switch places with him.

I'd watch this Freaky Friday remake.

Maybe John Barron, a totally real vice president of one of Trump's companies, will come out of retirement

[–] modifier@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago

Now that's an old reference. Very nice.

"Plus she isn't even my type"

[–] NegativeLookBehind@kbin.social 16 points 1 year ago

She was just a coffee girl!

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He has already claimed she wasn't his lawyer.

[–] kescusay@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (3 children)

How many of Donald Trump's lawyers have somehow magically become not his lawyers now?

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Most of them, he never pays any of them!

[–] gregorum@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I bet this was his long con all along, the dumbass: never pay his lawyers so he can claim they don’t work for him. Too bad that’s not how it works.

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It'll be so nice when he gets his "find out" after all this time. Fingers crossed.

[–] gregorum@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He’s finding out now. Justice is a slow roll.

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee -1 points 1 year ago

We'll see. He hasn't had any consequences yet.

If you keep expecting logic or reason out of Trump's words or actions, I don't know what to tell ya.

Except he doesn't work that way.

"I would never work with her, she's ugly."
