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!

She looks like Steven Tyler having an allergic reaction to shellfish.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 62 points 4 months ago (3 children)

She looks like a sex doll with low air pressure.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

She looks like an off-brand muppet.

[–] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Burn of all burns!

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

She IS like a sex doll with low air pressure.

Ftfy

[–] KevonLooney@lemm.ee 75 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (13 children)

Lol. They buried the lede:

Guilfoyle discussed unverified Newsmax's reporting that Biden would step aside without endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris as the nominee.

"Unverified"? Is that a polite word for "made up"? If Biden did step aside he would be Kamala's biggest cheerleader.

Fucking vote

[–] Beefytootz@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I think it'd be hilarious in a dystopian way if he bowed out, endorsed her, and she nominated him as VP

[–] KillerTofu@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Then the an assignation attempt elevates him again to POTUS.

[–] Beefytootz@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

They sure do, bud, they sure do

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

The rumor I'm hearing is that he doesn't want to be accused of "kingmaking" and instead will call for a brokered convention rather than picking her directly.

Note, this is only a rumor.

The illusion of choice is going to be necessary because she won't get the support otherwise.

[–] takeda@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Yeah, there's a lot of reporting right now that tries to force others to do what they say. Like yesterday there was an article saying that Pelosi plans to publicly push Biden to step down. How would they know this?

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

No no someone else made it up, they couldn't verify.

Pity the poor Rawstory intern that had to slo-mo through that footage just to grab the worst screencap.

[SUFFOCATING CLAM NOISES!]

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 32 points 4 months ago (1 children)

She looks like Dollar Store Melania.

[–] A7thStone@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Melania is Dollar Store Melania. This person looks like Dollar Store Melania from wish.com

Even more hilarious? This is the group that pretended to get outraged over Biden saying "you ain't Black".

Also: "Here is some white lady that's banging the former guy's son to speak for the Blahs...."

[–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 29 points 4 months ago

You need to warn people before posting her picture. I child could have seen that.

[–] simplejack@lemmy.world 25 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Man, she keeps doubling down on plastic surgery. She looks so weird these days.

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Like the cat woman

[–] WatDabney@sopuli.xyz 22 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Holy shit.

I'm instantly reminded of Nietzsche's "when you gaze long into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you."

Does the black hole where her soul should be count as “being black”?

[–] quicklime@lemm.ee 17 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'm betting most of y'all don't know that she was Gavin Newsom's gal back when he was the mayor of San Francisco. What a strange, strange world.

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 19 points 4 months ago

Half of her was. The other half was added by an apparently below-average plastic surgeon.

[–] recapitated@lemmy.world 16 points 4 months ago

Kimberly Guilfoyle looks like she cleans her eyeballs with her tongue.

[–] CavalierBob@lemmy.world 16 points 4 months ago

What she’s done to herself is gruesome. Gavin Newsom really dodged one there. 🤮

She used to be fairly attractive (on the outside)

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 14 points 4 months ago

What the fuck?

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 4 months ago

Oh, look. It's the freak who was super frightening four years ago.

[–] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago

She looks a bit like my cat after I spray him with the water bottle. Not that it matters. What she says is more important than the way she looks, and she only speaks in fascist screed.

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Why ? She is not brown or black.

[–] Burninator05@lemmy.world 17 points 4 months ago

She had Irish heritage. To the GOP she might as well be from central Africa.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (7 children)

Newsmax host Rob Schmidt asked Trump campaign surrogate Kimberly Guilfoyle to speak on behalf of Black women after the network reported that Joe Biden would not seek the Democratic presidential nomination.

(FTA)

Wait? Did I miss something???

I really hate when people wear their Halloween costume all year long. Oh wait... Oh shit! That's actually her face!
