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!

Least surprising news. Isn't she the one known for finishing her "news" teleprompter recitation sessions with reading from "the" bible and/or quotes from donnie?

I would figure full-throated support for donnie's terrorist schemes would be a requirement for working in this admin.

[–] ChaosSpectre@lemmy.zip 16 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Incredible that some politician had to mentioned her name and now suddenly journalists become journalists.

She's been there before Trump and somehow the entirety of mainstream media just ignored her until this past month.

I would hope this would cause people to never trust these overpaid clowns again, but I know how stupid people are.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

I just love how verklempt the right (and the Tone Police) are acting over the mere mention of her name. It's not like Talarico said her and donnie are fucking.

The conservatives all leapt to that assumption that that is what he was saying.

And then they flew into fucking hysterics over the impropriety of it all, my stars. From the party that said Michelle Obama really was Michael and you could see her dong's outline in some pictures, etc...now they are raging the fuck out about this.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 5 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Well, now that someone said her name, she transitions from vanilla whackadoo to special whackadoo, with all the powers and perquisites that position holds.

So of course there will be more scrutiny of the ramblings she's shat out her pie-hole vs when she was just another vanilla whackadoo.

[–] ChaosSpectre@lemmy.zip 3 points 8 hours ago

Thats what I mean though, she's a whackadoo with potential sway over the leadership of the US, and has had that position since the first term. Mainstream media are supposed to be journalists, investigating and exposing the truth for the world to see. They all have privileged access to those in power, a front line view of the corruption as it unfolds, and they just ignored this lady the entire fucking time.

It exposes just how toothless and incompetent they are. I know a lot of us on here have known this for a long time, its not a surprise for us, but I guess I just hope that maybe the public might be able to make these connections themselves now that the info is exposed. I know thats probably a pipe dream, but gotta find hope somewhere these days.

To be very clear, this is an actual story, she is way more than just a babysitter. I started to actually look at the letters she wrote and these are facts, so imo she is a spy.

  • she worked for OAN, a known russian channel, and developed a relationship then in which "they talked all the time."
  • she looks like his daughter and he's known to have the hots for his daughter
  • she's his "gatekeeper," per the other staff
  • she wants in on every conversation as per her letter
  • she thanks him for her "coming of age," whatever the fuck that means
  • she was one of the few people that went with him in the plane that wasn't supposed to get blown up.

And as another poster said, she claimed trump cured her cancer. https://sh.itjust.works/post/65459998

And supposedly she kept refusing to get a background check. Just said nope. I mean what the fuck?

She is 100% a foreign asset, heavily influencing the hegemon (can't claim control over dementia though, and that's all the schadenfreude we truly get).

Enabled by the simple act of being (insultingly) obviously molded for the role.

Which is leading the figurehead by the "little mushroom", via superlatively praise ridden word and action.

And you know damn well that the coming of age thing means they roleplay some morally questionable shit during the theater rendition of the Aristocrats.

That's why you included it on your list, so now you gotta think about it again for making me picture it.

You know how a narcissist parent expects their kids to thank them for everything, even them accomplishing basic milestones of growing up?

Yeah 🤢.

lmao, sorry?

C'mon, let's be honest. We all know what that means.

Ironic, I figured she was only 12 given Trump was interested

[–] MisterCurtis@lemmy.world 11 points 11 hours ago

That old bitch is younger than me?!

[–] Blackfeathr@lemmy.world 17 points 14 hours ago

I would have clocked her as like mid forties jeeeeez

[–] KurtVonnegut@mander.xyz 15 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

If she claims she cured him of cancer, and she manages his Twitter account for him, its very possible that that insane ai generated image of Trump curing a patient like Jesus came from her hand.

[–] slickgoat@lemmy.world 6 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

She got experimental treatment 8 months before Trump wrote an executive order allowing such treatment. This had actually been permitted in such cases for years. So, her treatment 8 months before Trump even got remotely involved is ridiculous.

[–] KurtVonnegut@mander.xyz 1 points 7 hours ago

That's how amazing he is. He retroactively cures people.

[–] Fishnoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

She needs to be stacked on Trump before they extract every bit of information from them that can be obtained, then they can activate the hydraulic press centered on the pelvis of the person at the top of the stack

[–] Fishnoodle@lemmy.world 5 points 14 hours ago

We are past peaceful resolutions. The people that voted for peace didn't vote for Trump. And they won't stop until every aspect of maga and the Rtards are eliminated
