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!

Of course she gets a puppy and not an adult dog.

[–] frazw@lemmy.world 86 points 4 days ago (4 children)

Why is no one concerned about how unfair this is for the puppy?

[–] YerbaYerba@lemmy.zip 40 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It was this or send it home with Kristi Noem.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

Or it could have ended up in RFKJ's fridge.

[–] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 3 points 4 days ago

Unfair? It’s traded up the dog house for the big house.

[–] Resonosity@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago

Yeah this seems like cruel and unusual treatment for the dog.

At least with average pet standards in the US, owners take pets for walks, bring pets to playdates with others, take pets to the vet regularly for check ups, etc

I don't see this story any different from Maxwell using this puppy for emotional support. There's nothing wrong with that, so long as the animals has its rights upheld. Don't think puppies can do this much in jail.

I hope the puppy is wearing a wire and catches her incriminating herself.

And then pees on her.

[–] credo@lemmy.world 47 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Doesn’t matter. They already have the evidence they need and aren’t releasing it.

This is to keep her from speaking publicly.

[–] kbobabob@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 days ago

She's already spoken and says Trump?, never heard of him

I recall there being a specific rule with that prison program that barred her because her crimes were sexual in nature.

Egg on my face for assuming rules would apply to the President's special lil' child trafficker.

[–] arrow74@lemmy.zip 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)

To be fair this presidency is showing the flaws in our system. Too much of our society is based on "rules" not law. A president can change the rules in an agency as long as they follow the law*. Basically congress needs to step up and codify many of these rules.

*That's how it's supposed to work, but you know Trump and the Supreme Court are not great

[–] bingrazer@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

While I agree that we need more of the rules codified in law, the law hasn’t exactly stopped them from doing a lot of stuff either.

Hasn't she played with enough adolescent things?

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago

Trump gets the us economy to play with instead of jail. This tracks.

[–] 6stringringer@lemmy.zip 18 points 4 days ago

Just wait until Kristi Noem shows up.

[–] peaceful_world_view@lemmy.world 18 points 4 days ago

That puppy is NOT safe.

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 14 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Oh god please at least give her an adult dog? She's played with enough "puppies", has she not?

[–] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 12 points 4 days ago

What did the puppy do to deserve that?

[–] Wytch@lemmy.zip 12 points 4 days ago

She will find a way to exploit the creature for her own benefit and then discard it when it no longer serves a purpose.

[–] santa@sh.itjust.works 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I hope the puppy has rabies and goes for her jugular in her sleep and using it like a cotton dog toy ripping it apart.

[–] sudo@lemmy.today 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

What'd that puppy ever do to deserve rabies?

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

It generated fascist AI memes

[–] workerONE@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago (5 children)

Does she just play with the puppy sometimes or is it in her cell keeping her company all the time?

This lady deserves to suffer but inmates in this county are treated terribly. I could really get behind programs where inmates are raising and training puppies.

[–] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 11 points 4 days ago (3 children)

The prisons that do participate have seen huge reduction in recidivism.

[–] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 days ago (11 children)

As much as I'd like to see this creature meet a firing squad, all prisoners deserve to be treated as people. I do have an issue with her "knowing the right people" and being treated differently.

This lady

That woman is not a fucking "lady". She's a goddamn rapist. Can we stop sugarcoating language for female criminals??

Jesus Christ. Someone save that poor dog before she trafficks it to the other criminals.

[–] Mediocre_Bard@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)
[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Probably not, but the thing we should be angry about is that she's getting comforts while being responsible for the ruination of so many lives.

This bestiality talk is just going to make the story disappear because nobody is going to pick it up.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 2 points 3 days ago

I'm not concerned about basic comfort. That should be afforded every as rehabilitation, since she's getting out, probably sooner than later. The issue is it's not available to everyone, everyone else deals with retribution.

[–] Mediocre_Bard@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Good point.

[–] jaupsinluggies@feddit.uk 7 points 4 days ago (2 children)

So is it pronounced "Jizz-lane"?

[–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

As Josh Johnson has said, “you know Trump was close with Maxwell when he never once mispronounced her name and has zero problem with that silent ‘s’”.

[–] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 days ago

Likely not when we're taking about a child rapist.

[–] fittedsyllabi@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

She’s sexually abusing that puppy. Really.

[–] tornavish@lemmy.cafe 1 points 3 days ago

I mean…. That’s probable.

[–] PragmaticOne@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I’d have paid good money to see Ghislaine and Melania going at it during their prime :)

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

Also a personal trainer.
