Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

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!

I’d be willing to bet even if you pay the 5,000 you wouldn’t be getting fabric from that actual suit. Donald Duck is such a grifter even his grifts are grifts
Don't call this POS Donald Duck. Donald Duck canonically is a War Vet with PTSD that constantly was griping at Scrooge for not helping the community enough. Donald Duck is based AF.
Plus he didn't have pants to cut up
Is this a real comic panel?
As far as I'm aware. I read the comic it's a part of. They went to Egypt to try to excavate a tomb IIRC, but I'm probably conflating two different comics.
My bad 😂
In the 90s there were enough “pieces of the Berlin Wall” going around to build the Great Wall of China. I suspect it will be something similar.
There's a little monument in my city that has a piece of the Berlin Wall on a stone pedestal. There's a plaque commemorating the fall of the wall. Underneath is a smaller, newer plaque that says "this is not a real piece of the Berlin Wall"
I wonder if they got grifted by one of those fakes in the 90s, that would explain it
There are legitimate pieces of the Berlin Wall. You just need to have a picture of it before it came down and you can identify it by the graffiti.
It's a time-honored tradition:

Not to mention, he never actually had a mugshot.
Wow, just looked it up you appear to be correct 👍
Although from what I see he did have a mugshot taken in Fulton county but the famous one is fake
If only Donald was larger than 6'3" and 215 lbs he might have more suit pieces to go around!
He's probably larger than one of those dimensions.
(That's the joke!)
People who downvoted this comment can lick my taint. What keeps you on lemmy when everyone trashes your guy? Slurp that shit like a porno, make it tingle.
Grabs bag of coke. Step right up folks, step right up!
This was my first thought. No way donnie would give up one of his cheap ass suits for this.
