DAYUM! If that's true, that would be the ultimate humiliation. His trophy wife leaving his loser ass...
I'm guessing she wants her share while there's still a share to be had if they were to throw the book at him and freeze his assets.

That's part of the danger of identity politics. "Identity" can be easily hijacked by people who want to twist it to their own advantage (either politically, for their party/agenda, or, personally, to take advantage of the free govt gimmies, preferential treatment, or social status... even some Dems, like Liz Warren, have been guilty of this). Identity politics is kinda Orwellian imo (particularly, if you're among one of the unprotected/unfavored groups). It reminds me of the movie "Gattaca", where the protagonist had to fake his entire identity (name, background, genetics, etc - to get out of being treated as a 2nd class citizen and achieve his dream of becoming an astronaut). The Greeks had Democracy figured out thousands of years ago when they had the wisdom to acknowledge that every human is a unique individual (not to be ranked or given different status based on their identity group/s) and everybody deserves equal rights & protection under the law.

She doesn't even like being around him you can tell. You could say the same about Bill & Hillary or Obama & Michelle (wives who've often given their husbands looks of disapproval or dissatisfaction on camera). Cop pointed out the key difference - Trump married a "trophy" wife, which increases the odds of divorce across the board (i.e. the same applies to any rich, high status man who marries a trophy wife). She has better looks and therefore more (and likely better) options than typical (less attractive) women. Less attractive women stay married longer because they have fewer options (to "trade up" or whatever you choose to call it). There's a reason the government gets involved in marriage and married people get marriage licenses (through the govt). Marriage is more than a business transaction. It's a business contract (between you, your spouse, and the government) - affecting income, taxes, etc. Also, women "marry up" most of the time, seeking financial benefits from marriage. Finances typically flow in one direction in marriage. Most women have this figured out and realize they need a partner who out-earns them if the marriage is going to work to their advantage financially. Versus at least half of men who are betas that fall for the antiquated notion marriage is about love or thinking they'll get long-term sexual access (they typically don't), and end up getting financially destroyed in family court.

Also Obama and Michelle met at work. Again a "normal" marriage. Donald met Melina at a party: Since we know he pays women for sex maybe he paid her to date him, a long term escort gig.

Everybody knows Bill's "normal" marriage history. Some of their former secret service had some interesting things to say about Hillary's feelings on the subject. lol
Sounds like you're behind the times. Everything I see & hear over the past few years suggests that couples meeting at work is no longer normal or common and, in fact, is risky for men's careers/finances. We're living in the #MeToo times where employers are very strict about that sort of thing and harassment cases are prosecuted more than ever.

I don't hate Trump as much as you guys (not saying he's all that great either). Either way, it's game over for Trump. In a few years, one-term Trump will be fading footnote in U.S. history.
Regarding the covid crisis, I'm not sure any president could've drastically altered the outcome. The news has been reporting record surges and that's with the mask requirements. They were reporting re-surges of it in Europe (maybe a week ago) as well. What else could the govts do, other than lock down the economy again and cause millions to starve. imo, it's becoming clear that the only thing that might result in significant improvement are effective vaccines.

I've never seen people so fanatical as they are for Trump. The "stand back and stand by" comment and the like. Alex Jones is on air telling his followers its better that they shoot themselves in the head then live under Biden. Biden is a centrist corporate democrat. That is why they nominated him, not an actual leftist like Sanders, yet they are acting like Biden is going to turn the USA into Stalinist Russia. How many coal mining jobs has Trump created since 2016?.....................lol

I agree about Biden. He's the typical status quo politician w/ empty campaign promises.. A typical, establishment sell-out to corporate and foreign interests (like the majority of politicians, Repub or Dem). I'd rather have a president with integrity, who's intent on fulfilling his promises, regardless of party affiliation.
Coal mining jobs were never coming back after Obama implemented regulations to kill the industry. Even Trump undoing the regulations, captains of industry and shareholders are smart enough to realize that the situation could change again in another four years. Investing in coal is way too risky, with rapidly shifting policies, making it a poor long-term investment.
Solar & wind can't provide near enough energy though, so those are only good for buffering the energy supply. Biden admin needs to be careful how he tackles energy policy, or we could face things like sky-high electricity & gas prices or worse, rolling blackouts. There's currently no inexpensive & easy solutions for curbing carbon output. Improving efficiency of existing technologies, like using better insulation materials for new buildings, is our best bet at the moment (but it's expensive). Hopefully, scientists and engineers will figure out how to make (hot) nuclear fusion efficient enough to generate net positive power output, then we could extract hydrogen from seawater to be used as the primary fuel for most of our energy.

It doesn't bode well for the future of the country when we cannot even agree on what is real anymore. I remember being in elementary school and being taught to cover my mouth or turn my head and cough at the start of school when everyone got sick, I guess that was a "globalist Antifa conspiracy" to assert control and take peoples freedom away. I cannot believe something as simple as wearing a fucking mask in a pandemic is a partisan political issue. The right claims they love the US but don't give a fuck if they spread a disease around. Very "pro-life" of them. I've lost count of the amount of times I have seen people on the right talk about how much they hate California, the 5th largest economy in the world and one of the main reasons we remain a world power. Saying they wish it would fall in the ocean and how they couldn't stand living there because its so liberal. When you ask specifically what pisses them off about it so much almost always they will start going on about gays in San Francisco. So you want to lose the 5th largest economy in the world because you never matured past calling people faggot in junior high school. Nice.

Recall that, not too long ago, Gore and Hillary both experienced defeats due to massive voter fraud resulting from missing absentee ballots, hanging chads, and Russia collusion. The mass media and left hammered this voter fraud reality thoroughly into peoples' minds for years on end.
Well, at least Biden set things right this time by putting together the most extensive voter fraud organization in history and finally ensuring a fair, fraud-free election.

Nice. 20 years ago when the neo-cons took control of the Republican party, I thought we had hit rock bottom. Then the tea party (just neo-cons, but crazier) took over. Now, the party platform is pure conspiracy. Some claim not to like Trump, but they will defend everything he does. They'll laugh it off as whacky or engage in what-about-ism, because he's on their "team." Some Republicans I know personally feel like they have no representation in the federal government anymore. They are reasonable people who are willing to listen to experts on things they don't understand. We disagree on some major policy points, but they have better arguments than, "What about Obama? ," "CROOKED SHRILLARY!!!1", or "TAXES BAD." I know lifelong Republicans who voted for Biden this election. I know a conservative-leaning person who voted for the very first time. He never paid much attention to politics, and he doesn't like Biden, but he saw the red flags during the last 4 years. They all gave me hope, but the vote was too close in the swing states even with this guy being by far the most incompetent and authoritarian president we've had, and he did it all in plain sight. Those that complained about Gore wanting a recount in Florida which actually was very close are now totally fine with the dozens of completely baseless lawsuits which have no chance of changing the outcome, because since Trump is making the claims, it must be true. The vast majority of people in this country can't see past party lines.

When I was a kid in 1997 I joined my first ever forum with a huge political section and it had a hard right slant. They were all big Limbaugh listeners and the like. They despised Clinton as they saw him as completely morally unfit to serve "The president is held to a different standard, he is the moral guide for America and Clinton is not morally capable of holding the office". Also Clinton was a draft dodger who never served his country. I've long since lost touch with all of these people but I would bet my entire life savings that these same dudes, if they are all still alive, are foaming at the mouth for Trump.

Also its funny when people will call me out in arguments as just being a "libtard" who only gets biased MSM sources. How many 15 year olds do you know who spent hours reading literature from the John Birch Society? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Birch_SocietyI actually did that in the 1990s, I didn't know who they were but someone posted links to a very well done website containing a ton of their literature. I pretty much only read right wing sources for quite a while and didn't read any leftist literature and certainly nothing Marxist.

This just in from Trump's legal team, lead by Rudy "Because 9/11" Giuliani. ANTIFA, the fake news media, The Clinton Foundation, George Soros (always need a rich Jew for these conspiracies), the FBI, and associates of Hugo Chavez are all now working together to take down God Emperor Trump. Rudy stated to a judge in court yesterday he was not actually alleging voter fraud (which is consistent with all of Trump's lawsuits so far), and today in a press conference once again claimed massive coordinated voter and election fraud.

Rudy stated to a judge in court yesterday he was not actually alleging voter fraud (which is consistent with all of Trump's lawsuits so far), and today in a press conference once again claimed massive coordinated voter and election fraud. You should look at the comments on the Open Societies foundation for Soros. Almost every single one is right wing nutcases spewing nonsense. Soros is completely opposed to societies like the old GDR, very happy to see the Berlin wall collapse and promote trade and freedom. Yet every single video on his channel the comments are about "Antifa globalist black lives matter blah blah blah". Based off the fact that every reactionary nut hates him they should have made Soros president, he wasn't born in the US tho so not possible. I've been hearing for 20 years from the right saying Fox News is the only ones telling the truth so the last few weeks has been hilarious to watch. Tucker Carlson of all people made a very valid point. If you watch this video toward the end he stated that he asked Giuliani's people point blank for the evidence of massive voter fraud and would even give her all week to explain it all and she told them to stop contacting her: www.foxnews.com/opinion/tucker-carlson-rudy-giuliani-sidney-powell-election-fraudThey don't have a shred of evidence of any voter fraud which is why they won't swear in court. Due to pointing out that 1 + 1 = 2 Fox News fans are bailing by the thousands and its hilarious to watch. It appears that the Republican Party since they cannot consistently depend on fundie Christianity anymore as organized religion declines are going to go full into conspiracy theory whackjobs. Other then that I think eventually they will go full mask off white supremacy at some point. It wouldn't surprise me to see them dropping language about "Ethnostates" and the like at some point.
