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!

Given that most voter fraud has been perpetrated by Republicans it's entirely possible she voted for him while dead.

Was about to say, Simpsons did it first.

Just in-case you've never actually seen Joan Rivers, one of the funniest stand-ups of all time.

I never really paid attention to her because I only saw her on TV where she was (mostly) filtered. I looked up her standup after her death and saw just how funny she really was.

Sorry, but Joan Rivers was maybe the best female comic of all time

He knows cause he's the one that sent in the absentee ballot on her behalf.

If you want to decipher the truth from this 34 time convicted felon, all you have to do is know everything he says is a lie. Then, when he's blaming someone else for specifically doing something, it's projection and you 100% have something he is being truthful about himself doing.

It's nice to know that the media learned nothing from 2016 and are going to spend all their time and money fact checking the 10000 little lies trump tells every day that ultimately doesn't matter.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 months ago

They learned they love ad revenue more than anything.

Which was nothing new to learn.

It may be a possibility....

[–] [email protected] 23 points 4 months ago

Multiple times, in multiple states!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago

Donald Trump does Donald Trump things what a surprise.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago

It’s possible someone named Joan Rivers voted for him, but I highly doubt it was the famous comedian.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago

To his cult it doesn't matter. It is MAGA truth now or just misinformation from the woke media. Move along. MAGAs love the Kool-aide.

Gotta say I wouldn't want the ghost of Joan Rivers after me.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Yeah? What about Hannibal Lechter?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

I assume he grabbed her by the pussy? Usually if they're already dead they let you grab them by the pussy. Doesn't matter if you are a celebrity or not. Now the voting part, that's the difficulty puppetry part. Might as well just pretend to be her.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Donald Trump claimed that Joan Rivers voted for him in 2016, despite the comedian having died two years earlier.

The former US president and recently convicted felon was interviewed by Variety editor Ramin Setoodeh last November for a new book about his time hosting The Apprentice, Apprentice in Wonderland: How Donald Trump and Mark Burnett Took America Through the Looking Glass, which is set to be published on June 18.

In the book, Trump discusses Rivers, who won the second season of Celebrity Apprentice in 2009.

Trump also recalled Rivers’s reaction after he fired her daughter, Melissa, who competed on the same season of Celebrity Apprentice.

Asked his opinion of the pop superstar, Trump replied: “She’s got a great star quality.

When Setoodeh pointed out that Swift is no longer purely a country artist, Trump responded: “Garth Brooks is liberal.


The original article contains 431 words, the summary contains 140 words. Saved 68%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Bad bot.

You need to watch your referents. Just because 2 or 3 parts of the story use "she," it doesn't mean all or any of them denote the same person.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Rivers would have voted for Fang, before Trump.

Wtf was up with that article? Is the end about Taylor Swift?
