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!

She was good at spinning a yarn

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

She really wasn't. Nothing believable ever left her mouth.

[–] GreenBeard@lemmy.ca 2 points 57 minutes ago

I mean, garbage in, garbage out. When your job is to tell lies so obvious no rational human being would believe them with a straight face, that's a skill set. Whether that skill set is actually useful to humanity is questionable, but she clearly has a gift for marketing.

Is there a shortage of empty headed bimbos who will do and say anything to be part of the "elite" in DC?

There's nothing special or unique about her at all that I can see other than her willingness to debase herself personally and professionally.

[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip -1 points 2 hours ago (4 children)

What's special is her manipulation skills and her improvisation. It's rare.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 4 points 1 hour ago

How easily impressed are you?

[–] Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 1 points 53 minutes ago (1 children)

"Why are you obstructing the Epstein Files?"

"The DOW is over 50,000!"

Masterful manipulation.

All MAGA women look the same 🤷

[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 1 points 35 minutes ago

Fair enough lol

[–] tortina_original@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago

Are you dumb? She is just another narcissist that has no problem lying, nothing unique or special about her. Little of what I used to hear was like listening to an imbecile talking. Simple lies and idiotic, shallow gotchas. And who cares what she was bleating about anyway, no normal human would listen to that shit. She was preaching to a choir.

I think you might be out of your fucking mind

[–] eurodyne@piefed.world 27 points 6 hours ago

Fox News has been on the air for 29 years, so obviously not

[–] DonkeyStar@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

Think it’s going to be the girl that follows him around lately?

[–] vegeta@lemmy.world 20 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (1 children)

I mean, how many blonde sycophant lapdogs can there be in the world?

Ask Rupert Murdoch

[–] sik0fewl@piefed.ca 5 points 5 hours ago

Do they even hold press conferences anymore?

[–] Makhno@lemmy.world 12 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

You mean future First Lady Vance?

[–] BuckFutter@timeyak.com 4 points 5 hours ago

Crazy that there is a non zero chance this might happen. On tonight’s edition of between two couches…lol

[–] BuckFutter@timeyak.com 3 points 5 hours ago

This is where my money is at, what does polymarket say? 😂

From what I read somewhere, it's probably because he kept blowing her up while she was on leave.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 7 points 7 hours ago
[–] PissMissile@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

She's already been replaced.

[–] Corvidae@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Thanks for reminding me of that cross she wore. Karolyin for her Lord.
