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 thought Democrats were Groomers? Also Drag Queens. Also DEFINITELY NOT Pastors and Republicans.

Oh. This is the one that's a Melania clone. Not even slightly surprised.

Yeah, and in case anyone forgot or didn’t know she’s also a racist called out by her own secretary.

I didn't know, but I've heard her legal arguments, and I'm not at all surprised her shit arguments match her shit worldview.

This the lawyer who always looks like she ate a whole shroombar and is tripping balls in the courtroom?

[–] mateomaui@reddthat.com 8 points 11 months ago

That’s the one!

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I got you.

You just get numb to it after a while. She should be disbarred and her employer should be looking at multimillion dollar fine if not more.

In the lawsuit, Bianco said she had not been aware that Habba worked as an attorney for Trump until weeks after she signed the NDA, although she had seen her sit with the former president at dinner on a number of occasions and had waited on her before.

Bianco alleges that Melichar forced her "to engage in sex as a quid pro quo for continued employment and 'protection'" when she worked at the club.

Habba allegedly told Bianco that the NDA would be tax-free and that she would get her therapy paid for as part of the deal as long as she abided by the settlement and did not tell anyone about the agreement.

Bianco's lawyers said that when she reached out to Habba during tax season, the Trump attorney told the server she couldn't help with legal advice.

"Habba didn't need to text heart emojis anymore, she had accomplished her goal of protecting Donald Trump and of silencing Ms.
