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!

Soooo, the Epstein file "dump" is actually an interview with Maxwell, and she was given (bribed with) partial release from prison for it. I knew they were going to distract us with something, but them knowing that we want him to naturally die wasn't on my bingo card.

They raided Bolton looking for the Epstein files!!!

I hope it's cancer and I hope it kills him quick.

Not so fast there champ

[–] unconsequential@slrpnk.net 45 points 1 month ago

I agree. He’s covering an IV bruise.

This story encapsulates the Trump administration - more concerned with appearances than substance.

Demented rapist leads 49% of registered voters into another lie-filled ditch.

I’m a woman and years ago some makeup artist had recommended a foundation shade that was a bit too light but I didn’t notice.

So one day wearing it, I walked into Sephora and this guy working there looked at me in horror and went “Oh honey…your face is a different shade from the rest of your body…”

I saw it then and changed things up. But seeing the picture in the article that’s immediately what I thought back to… “Oh honey…”

You’d think with those fuckloads of money he could afford an actual makeup artist. Then again, that would require paying someone to do their job.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago (2 children)

You don’t understand. He never lets them do his makeup (at least not in the first (and jesus bonghitting christ should have been last) term). It’s a thing of his. Like fearing stairs or being poisoned.

I’m no makeup artist but this seems like it wants to be seen and talked about. I feel they could have made it less obvious if they wanted.

[–] ghen@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 month ago

As we see from his face, he only applies it to himself and he's not good at it. He won't let anyone else do the job

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 6 points 1 month ago

Sire but he also wore his pants the wrong way and his face and harl looks like it does every day.

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

But where them Epstein files at?

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

It's under the makeup

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He’s been doing this for a while. Probably a big age spot or something similar that he is self-conscious and vain about. There was a similar article pointing this same spot out about 2-3 months ago.

[–] SippyCup@feddit.nl 15 points 1 month ago (2 children)

He might be getting regular IV injections and getting some bruising there as a result.

[–] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

That's what I was assuming.

[–] sploder@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I had that thought too, but why not just tap in somewhere less visible?

[–] SippyCup@feddit.nl 3 points 1 month ago

Other locations may be either too hard to access, too fragile from repeated injections, or too inconvenient for a whiney patient.

A friend of mine had to eventually have a port put in, because there wasn't anywhere left she could get an IV she'd had so many.

Trump could be anywhere on that list really. But if he's getting one every 6 weeks, they may be running out of suitable locations. They won't give him a port, that's just as likely to kill him.

[–] dickalan@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What the fuck in Reddit dip shit is this news story this is not news This is a fucking distraction.

[–] INHALE_VEGETABLES@aussie.zone 3 points 1 month ago

Yeah I wonder what's on his left hand

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

Is the color on the picture weird?

He doesn't look orange, he looks jaundiced.

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

He looks even shittier than usual. It's impressive, in a gawky sort of way.

Trump's not undead, AFAIK, but his attempts at concealing his health issues made me think about that pair, trying to hold themselves together with paint.

[–] Psaldorn@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Did he just grab some fucking house paint? It's a totally different colour.

That hat too. Lol.

[–] theunknownmuncher@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Any day now
