And yet, this STILL won’t be enough to convince a lot of the leftists here to vote.

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 33 points 12 hours ago

The GOP once again claiming that women are property...

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 9 points 8 hours ago

Yeah that’s what their issue with no fault divorce is. They think that men should only lose their wives due to behavior bad enough that a judge recognizes it, and many don’t believe spousal rape is rape.

[-] celsiustimeline@lemmy.dbzer0.com 40 points 14 hours ago

Yes. Good. Let the misogyny flow through you. Don't vote for Trump.

[-] VinnyDaCat@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago

Don't count on it and don't get overconfident about this hurting their turnout. Regardless of whatever weird bickering there is between Republicans at the end of the day they'll always vote for their own.

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 17 points 14 hours ago

This is why I forgive Melania for being a gold digging, lying whore.

She's been driving needles into Trump's face every chance she's had since 2015.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 7 points 7 hours ago

I don’t really care about her do you?

Sincerely though, no resistance will make up for that stunt of hers in my opinion. She clearly cares about women’s rights a little bit, but I was going to say it’s because she’s a woman, but she’s an immigrant and doesn’t give half a fuck about her fellow immigrants.

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 4 points 6 hours ago

There's an old joke.

People are really divided on her. Some people hate her like poison; then there's a lot who just hate her regular.

[-] match@pawb.social 1 points 11 hours ago

why would i hold gold digging against anyone? go get your bag girl

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 19 points 14 hours ago

This is how these people think ALL THE TIME 🤮

[-] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 9 hours ago

Why are you deep throating shrek?

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 27 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

Lol these people can't understand rights, in this case their favorite freedom of speech. They only understand control.

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 35 points 19 hours ago

If he actually uses adult diapers (and there are a lot of hints that he does!), he can't even control his bodily functions!.

Hey, MAGAs, what is that telling you?

[-] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 19 points 15 hours ago

Hey, MAGAs, what is that telling you?

"He's one of us!"

[-] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 7 points 18 hours ago

Well, for one he's not full of shit, but his pants might be.

Trump and Vance are pretending they are more pro choice than they actually are. Roe V Wade was fine, and nobody was trying to expand it (despite what republicans would tell you). Trump ended Roe V Wade and now we’re in this shit situation.

Melania coming out pro choice is just Trump’s way of seeming more pro choice (yes, of course he pushed her to make this statement). Vance’s BS during the debate was the same thing.

He can’t manage his own bowels

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 35 points 1 day ago

covfefe

Nor his consonants!

[-] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 17 points 1 day ago

To be fair. I imagine they would be hard for anyone to manage.

[-] lunarul@lemmy.world 109 points 1 day ago

The entire "article" is based on one tweet from one guy. Guess that guy is "MAGAs".

[-] cultsuperstar@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

This is no different than Trump saying "they say" when he makes up some bullshit.

[-] horse_battery_staple@lemmy.world 44 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Welcome to the level of rigor they treated antifa with, or those _____ slammed by twitter articles.

I suppose it's as solid as "lots of people are saying it."

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 6 points 21 hours ago

Everybody says so. Many such cases.

I have a feeling someone is saving a divorce when a loss is confirmed.

[-] sxan@midwest.social 21 points 20 hours ago

Naw. Here's my completely uninformed theory:

Melania is Trump's second wife, and he's exactly the kind of douchebag who'd have an iron-clad pre-nup. I think she's staying with him because (a) he probably doesn't touch her anymore, and spends his little-hands time with other women, (b) he's still a source of income for her, and (c) she gets nothing, or a pittance, if she divorces him. It may be that if he divorces her, she gets a payout, which would explain why he hasn't moved on to wife #3, but he's got the cake and is eating it, too; the real conundrum is why she hasn't left him yet. My money's on a pre-nup.

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 5 points 14 hours ago

She's Wife Number 3. Ivana Trump was #1; Ivanka's mom, she was the star of the show when Trump was breaking out in the 1980s. #2 was Marla Maples. Evidence appears to show that Trump divorced her after finding out that she was sleeping with one or more members of her security team. [So Donnie would be a cuck who paid for his wife's lovers.]

[-] porkchop@midwest.social 23 points 19 hours ago

Melania is wife #3. Ivana was first (Mom of Jr, Eric, and Ivanka), then Marla Maples (Mom of Tiffany), then Melania (Mom of Barron).

[-] sxan@midwest.social 2 points 14 hours ago

Oh, thanks for the correction. I've never heard of Marla. Were they actually wed, or is she just a baby momma?

Yeah, of she's #3, there's definitely a pre-nup involved.

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 10 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

real conundrum is why she hasn't left him yet.

She's 54, he's 78. She's waiting for him to croak.

[-] sxan@midwest.social 1 points 14 hours ago

She'd better hope he hasn't willed whatever is left to his current mistress. She could contest, but few states will override a clear, legal will.

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

Agreed, she can't get too out of line so I expect this will be it. And if she stays in good enough graces with maga she'll be able to grift them enough to be comfortable (thus this book), that means she can't start the divorce.

[-] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 8 points 19 hours ago

Could be... I mean if you think about it she's hiding out in the one state where he can't really do anything. She also seems to be subtlety egging him on with criticizing Florida's weather and by association the Trump abode. Now she's contradicting her hubby's view on abortion. Like goading him to slip up and either run away or break one of the stipulations.

She could also be playing a long game, of sorts, and just doing it to increase his stress level. If you think about it, with his very likely unhealthy diet, his age and physique, along with the seemingly increase of droning on; adding the stress of even more controversy on top (other than his legal woes) could easily lower his life expectancy like a stone.

Either way, we won't know until after the dust settles following the election. But I do stand by my opinion that there is trouble in "paradise" and something has to be brewing.

[-] sxan@midwest.social 3 points 14 hours ago

She had clearly lost interest even before the last election. The kids played along, because they got to hobnob with various heads off state, and play like they were actually running things, but they're all conspicuously absent this time around.

If he has dementia - and it's been hard to tell whether he does or if that's just his natural state - then it's hard on them to be around him. Dementia doesn't differentiate: everybody gets the mean.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago

I'll be honest I didn't have Melania Trump on my October Surprise bingo card.

[-] PedroMaldonado@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago

Oh, FUCKING REALLY?? THATS what it takes for the cult to turn on him. ForafucksSake, what a bunch of jackasses.

[-] nightofmichelinstars@sopuli.xyz 20 points 1 day ago

I'm ready for the timeline where Melania saves the world.

Internally consistent MAGAs. Good lord, now I've seen everything.

[-] averyminya@beehaw.org 2 points 14 hours ago

There's a portion of them that don't like the JD Vance's wife either.

I wonder why that could be.

[-] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 7 points 1 day ago

Memucan then replied to the king and the officials, "The wrong of Queen Vashti is not against the king alone, but against all the officials and all the people who are throughout all the provinces of King Ahasuerus. For the matter concerning the queen will spread to all the women, leading them to treat their husbands with contempt, saying, 'When King Ahasuerus gave orders to bring Queen Vashti into his presence, she would not come.' And this very day the noble ladies of Persia and Media who have heard the matter concerning the queen will respond in the same way to all the royal officials, and there will be more than enough contempt and anger! If the king is so inclined, let a royal edict go forth from him, and let it be written in the laws of Persia and Media that cannot be repealed, that Vashti may not come into the presence of King Ahasuerus, and let the king convey her royalty to another who is more deserving than she. And let the king's decision which he will enact be disseminated throughout all his kingdom, vast though it is. Then all the women will give honor to their husbands, from the most prominent to the lowly."
