We know he has no policy. Some people are certainly giving him ideas, but he doesn’t care. He’s certainly not gonna get in the weeds about it. That’s for the golf course.

Oh, he has policy, all right. _Government, **smash** _. Like Reagan but even less ethical and more senile. It is like Walter Sobchak said, “_Nihilists. Fuck me. I mean, say what you will about the National Socialists, at least they had an ethos._”

ShitGibbon unifies the Nazis and the nihilists into one enormous ball of unidentifiable disgustingness. He is a uniter.

To be pedantic (as we’re so proud of being, here on the Dope), the exact quote was:

_Nihilists! Fuck me. I mean, say what you like about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it’s an ethos._

Yep. Melania may not like her husband much, but SHE will be better off if he’s President (as opposed to being a prison inmate). So she’s more than willing to try to make him seem Reasonable and Centrist.

Not pissed off, but of course the depressing part of all of his idiocy is that it doesn’t matter. Millions of people think he’s the Chosen One, and he’ll possibly dance consequence-free into the White House, and I’m not even they’re wrong. It’s enough to turn me into a misanthrope. Sorry to be a downer.

He’s trying hard to ignite civil war out there. He knows he’s losing so he’s stoking the fires. That’s just one of the 300 billion reasons he is pissing me off today.

I work from home, in a blue county. In the last ~8 eight years, I’ve seen just one MAGA hat.

Will she be though? She doesn’t appear to have much fondness for the role of first lady. I think she would really prefer to enjoy her lavish lifestyle in peace. Having Don out of her hair for a few years would be a bonus.

Although given that house arrest is probably more likely than prison, the thought having a bored Donald stuck around the house might convince her to help his campaign.

If it’s house arrest for Donald, I double guarantee that Melania will be living in a _different_ house. She has many choices.

I think Melania will take one of those ‘different’ living arrangements whether Donald wins OR loses.

If he gets in, he’s now President-for-Life. (Granted he may let some time go by before making that official—he’ll need a big overseas war or a giant US civil conflict to justify it.)

In any case, Melania has no reason to pretend to be part of a traditional White House. He will agree to pay her off in return for her silence about anything that could embarrass him. She will be based in Slovenia with Barron, perhaps, while living a jet-set life, touring Russia and other dictator-led lands with maximum glamor.

If he’s on house-arrest: pretty much the same, though perhaps on more of a budget. She still has leverage due to things she could reveal about him. She can demand to have her separation from him adequately funded.

If Donald lives, either in the White House or in Mar-a-Lago, he will exert influence and have access to cash. If nothing else, the vast army of the low-IQ MAGA faithful will continue to keep him in berders and bronzer.

I can’t imagine that house arrest for Donald would be a problem for Melania. Which house is he confined to?

"Sorry D, I have scheduled ‘lunch with the ladies’ for the next 4 years in NY.
