Well she’s cold enough to keep wearing her down jacket and have her non-typing hand tucked in. She’s straight upright, scooting her chair to reach along the row. No lolling back with thigh-highs on the desk for her.

Probably already are

Don’t worry, it will probably get people to take a second glance in case there’s something to leer at, but it’s not going to harm anyone.

I’d say it’s pretty hard for a woman to both have enough experience to be taken seriously as a candidate and simultaneously have no past baggage or party agenda.

And I don’t think most male candidates are held to that standard, either.

The misogyny is palpable. In the country as a whole.

Well of course it’s not, there’s no excuse. Gaetz is a predator who exploited and raped her, full stop.

Like I said I’m not excusing either Gaetz or the US. I also wonder whether she would have been more comfortable leaving her teeth crooked if she weren’t in the US, unless it caused health or eating issues.

But it’s here on Lemmy, and in years past on the other place, where I have heard people’s frustration about teeth being separated as “luxury bones” under even the best healthcare systems. It goes back through history, separate schools, but the more we learn the more obvious it seems that dental care is healthcare.

From what I’ve read and heard, many poor people just don’t get any dental care, whatever country they’re in.

I wish for her sake she’d been able to find an orthodontia school where she could have gotten her braces from a student under the supervision of a professor.

Not Melania but for some of the girls Trump was the supplier

Yes US healthcare sucks. And this particular story sucks. And Matt Gaetz sucks. But I just want to mention that many other countries with superior healthcare systems also suck when it comes to dental care. Despite the fact that a bad dental situation can have devastating health consequences for the whole body.

You forget he owns the majority of the SCOTUS.

Yes, thank you!

Sink. I’d be wasting all that shower water I’m not actively washing with, or I’d be shivering with the water turned to a trickle. When I brush at the sink, I only need to wet the brush, and turn off the tap until I’m ready to rinse.

Moving as in home prices?

Joke’s on him, NYC folks are already so used to outrageous home prices they wouldn’t notice.

We really need the Undertaker to throw Trumpkind off Hell In A Cell.

" China has assisted Cambodia and Thailand in our own way to resolve the border dispute, and we continue to promote peace talks to address other pressing issues in the region."

Trump, seemingly oblivious to the nuanced diplomatic correction, responded by calling Xi his “longtime friend” and a “great leader”, expressing enthusiasm about potential trade deals.

Meanwhile actual young children, including US citizens, are ziptied and abducted in ICE vans

Healing won’t happen unless you debride the festering wound.

As the guy said on NPR, people have phones. The reporters can still do their jobs without being physically present in the building.

Shocked, shocked!

One stick, unscented.

Does this mean the others meekly submitted? Or just that they’re still running their options through their lawyers
