    According to a document obtained by CNN, corporate sponsors willing to drop at least $75,000 can get their logos slapped on signage and Easter baskets.

      The Tesla (sorry, Tesler) ad copy the president read in the White House driveway didn’t give it away? This administration can be bought without any strings attached

      At this point, I think debasing his office is a sexual fetish. That also lines up with the pee tape.

        At this point, evidence suggests, he kegstand’d a urinal and gobbled down three turds and a cigarette butt.

        Think of it in a similar context to a ‘three legged race’ except it’s kids pushing eggs to ‘roll’ them towards a finish line. It’s an annual event held on the south lawn.

      As someone who is atheist/satanic, until I clicked the article I was like ‘wtf do rolls [food] have to do with eggs and bunnies?’. I’m still pretty confused - I assume they roll some eggs down a slide or something - but apparently it’s a tradition so it doesn’t have to make sense.

        This is like a contest between the vegan, the lawyer, and the atheist.

        Here’s another: my family has a traditional Easter breakfast featuring “cheese”. But this “cheese” is eggs.

        I don’t see anything like it online in the brief time I looked, but I imagine I have to some how break free of search results only containing contemporary and sponsored links and I just don’t have the time now

    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!
