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!

People rarely take $100s, who is going to break a $331,000 bill?

[–] urquell@lemm.ee 12 points 2 months ago

What do you think he’s going to have on his OnlyFans account?

[–] DJDarren@thelemmy.club 9 points 2 months ago

One Rudy, One Cup.

I read in the paper today that a bankruptcy court is going to take 40% of Katie Price's OnlyFans income

When i saw this headline my brain skipped to Rudy Giuliani's OnlyFans income

Has Rudy Giuliani considered OnlyFans?

He's on cameo, as John Oliver did show Maybe if you make a nice offer you can get a Rudi Nudiani?

[–] PrincessLeiasCat@sh.itjust.works 23 points 2 months ago

Oh shit…guys what if Trump doesn’t cover the cost of Rudy’s loyalty? Damn, that would suck. I’m sure no one that that was even a remote possibility, right? Oh well. Anyway…

Sigh… Can we please get better copy editing? Answer, unlikely.

The film, Global Data Risk, was hired to check

Anyway, on to the good stuff.

Oh no, Rutabaga! This is such terrible news! How will you survive your horrific debts with your stupid podcast now? I'm so sad for you, Rutabaga. You're so targeted by wicked Leftists and it's all so unfair.

It's Newsweek. Half their columns are entire AI generated, and that's only because the other half are written by a collection of nepo-babies who got jobs as favors to other people in the industry.

I hope for him that he has to live paycheck to paycheck for the rest of his life and has never enough to spare to put to the side.

[–] tiefling@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I hope he makes too little to afford healthcare but too much to qualify for Medicaid

[–] grue@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

He's 80 years old. Although that means we'll be rid of him relatively soon, it unfortunately also means that he's eligible for Medicare.

[–] Anissem@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 months ago

The hair dye must be pouring down his face

I was happier when he got disbarred in New York, but I'll take this too!

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

"The truth will come out! You'll see!"

That time was BEFORE you went bankrupt.

[–] Hikermick@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

The bankruptcy case got thrown out but after getting handed the bill he'll be bankrupt
