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!

I'm waiting for a Hallmark Channel redemption arc for him. He goes to prison, slowly befriends his fellow cell mates and empathizes with them, and emerges a changed man who gives up his fortune in order to fight the injustices against the common man.

Because prison always turns people into a better version of themselves

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It’s hallmark fiction, so yeah. Also, he gets back with Melllania who dumped him, and they raise happy, perfect kids together.

Also this all happens at Christmas time because they ran into each other in line for a street vendor selling pumpkin spice lattes

Also there's a puppy in a christmas present with a bow on its head

Directly adjacent to the roasted chestnut cart

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

how could I forget the roasted chestnut cart. also the ice skating rink in the background. The script practically writes itself.

(mostly because hallmark scripts are copy pasta...)

Someone swap his blow with some Molly and see if he feels something for a change

Make Drumpf Merry Again

Not sure mdma can cure what this man has.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe mushrooms? I feel like it would take a higher dose than he can handle.

[–] nxdefiant@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago

Replace his blood with heroin, that should do it.

Reads the constitution. After a thousand times, he starts to get it.
"Oh, I should be in prison."

[–] marx2k@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

That made me chuckle

He goes on to form a golf team with some of the inmates at his prison, and in a partnership with Vince McMahon they start up a prison golf league where the various prison teams play each other in an annual tournament. The winners get extra Little Debbie snacks from the prison commissary. Eventually they make a movie, and Donald Trump is played by Rosie O'Donnell.

The name of the movie would be something like "Par for the Course"
