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!

Revenge for what? Running a shitty campaign so he could be president?

[–] jwu@lemmy.ml 48 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Actually maybe.

He probably thinks if she had won, he could have just acted angry and then not done all the 2020 election stuff. Could start his TV network or whatever?

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 35 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well considering how he didn't look happy at all when it was announced that he won, that wouldn't be that surprising...

[–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I don’t think we’ll ever get confirmation of this but I will die on the hill of ‘he wanted to lose, that was his plan, but after he won he was trapped in his own lie’

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Idk what the revenge could be for. Like, how tf did she wrong Trump

[–] Zoraji@lemmy.world 92 points 2 years ago (4 children)

He's probably too dumb to realize that Hillary is trending upwards in the news because they are talking about Hurricane Hillary, not his opponent in 2016.

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 27 points 2 years ago

He thinks "Hurricane Hillary" is one of the dumb nicknames he must have used before.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago

He's already used a sharpie to change the headline

[–] IphtashuFitz@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

How soon until he starts demanding a hurricane be named Trump?

[–] rmuk@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago

It's curry night tonight. My trumps will be worth of the hurricane moniker and it's the best he can hope for.

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Ohhh, maybe trump just wants revenge on hurricane Hillary and this is all a big misunderstanding. It all makes sense now.

[–] TheJims@lemmy.world 54 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Trump will never tire of humiliating himself and his attorneys in court.

[–] dgendreau@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Make Attorneys Get Attorneys

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

My Attorney is Getting Arrested

[–] Milan 46 points 2 years ago (2 children)

He has no personal desire to do anything against Hillary Clinton. If he did, he would've done so when he had the chance. He's just waxing nostalgic to a time when he had a good campaign message.

[–] btaf45@lemmy.world 46 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump actually did issue an order that Clinton be prosecuted. His attorney general refused because there was no credible reason to.

[–] aidan@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Trump is not a convicted sex offender. Trump was found to be liable for sexual assault. A conviction is criminal and means a jury found that he was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt- he was not convicted. Instead a jury found that they think its more likely than not he was guilty. Basically- he wasn't proven guilty, he was found to be probably guilty.

[–] sturmblast@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

the judge himself said in not so many words that Trump raped E.Carroll

[–] btaf45@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Trump is not a convicted sex offender.

Everyone knows what I mean dude. A jury of Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump's peers found that he committed rape under modern definitions. Do you think that Pathological Liar Treason Trump cares about the subtle differences you bring up? What is important is to always remind people about it over and over because otherwise people will forget that particular rape because Accused Pedophile Treason Trump committed so many other crimes.

[–] aidan@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They found he probably committed sexual assault, not that he is guilty of sexual assault. That is the difference.

[–] YeetPics@mander.xyz 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Dude is a sexual criminal, idgaf what one court decided once.

[–] jonhanson@kbin.social 25 points 2 years ago

when he had a good campaign message.

This is a hitherto unencountered usage of the term "good".

[–] skellener@kbin.social 26 points 2 years ago

Old senile Florida man continues to yell at clouds.

[–] catfish@programming.dev 21 points 2 years ago

what a pathetic loser lmao

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There's a name for this condition; when someone is overwhelmed by circumstances so they hyperfocus on the tiny details they can control.

[–] Wilibus@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Bigly? Always wondered what that word was supposed to mean.

[–] ChrisLicht@lemm.ee 11 points 2 years ago

The motion is the entire message. They know they won’t win; they just need to be perceived doing something that right-wing media and FB groups can treat like Godot for the interim.

[–] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You think he’ll do a carpool karaoke with Ivanka before he goes to prison?

[–] TheJims@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is carpool karaoke a euphemism for conjugal visit?

[–] FilthyHands@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

Sing Sing Singalong

[–] Wilibus@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Is Hilary on Cameo, a short vid of her yelling "Lock Him Up" would slap right about now.

[–] PseudoSpock@lemmy.dbzer0.com -2 points 2 years ago

The world would benefit if they both just went away and never came back.
