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!

Typically, documentaries do not do well in the theatre. Still though, this makes me happy. There are almost 8 billion people on the planet more deserving of a documentary about their lives and thoughts than this woman.

Just another grift... She got 28 million dollars from Amazon for this. I'm willing to bet she doesn't give a fuck about ticket sales.

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The loser, Nigel bought one of 3 tickets.

She's one of the least interesting people I've seen, so no wonder nobody is interested lol

Epstein traffic victim who came out of the collapsing Eastern Bloc and got passed around Paris/Italy high society for a few years before being turned out by NYC real estate tycoon Paolo Zampolli to sell high end Manhattan units?

She was the fly on the wall and the floozy in the sheets for a parade of corrupt plutocrats. If you wanted a real tell-all about the seedy back end of high society in one of the world's richest cities, you could do a lot worse than produce a Melania biopic.

Not what this movie is about, of course. But she's definitely had an interesting life. How many US/EU presidents do you think this single woman has fucked?

She says the movie shows her philanthropy.

Now I'm really curious about watching the movie. Philanthropy and Trump are mutually exclusive words so... How?

Lazy of amazon to bribe trump with a dumb movie and then fail to ensure some tickets were bought to pretend anyone showed. Its one thing for the right to be corrupt, but they go on to always try to be corrupt and do a bad job in executing the grift. They even suck at sucking.

This could be the perfect first date movie though. Assess your compatibility with prospective companion(s) by the quality of their roasts and, if nothing else, have a good time while ruining the evening for MAGAts who are there to worship their idol's crush's stepmother.

humiliation. must get off on it. pattern seems to follow her ever since she answered the ad for epstein island modeling opportunity.

[–] DylanMc6@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 weeks ago

Watch Rocky Horror instead

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Vanity project that nobody wanted.

I don't think someone can humiliate you, you can only let yourself feel humiliation.

And I don't think I've ever seen Melania feel anything except disgust with her husband and general malaise.

[–] Novis@lemdro.id 6 points 2 weeks ago

She's married to Donald Trump. She doesn't know shame.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Even that was a waste of time and money

[–] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Not for her. As "writer", "producer", actress and for right for use her image she made $30 mil in 20 days from this

[–] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

This movie can contain the Epstein files and we wouldn't know about it.
