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.
- 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!

See, this is where you misunderstand what a loser is.
A loser isn't someone that lost something or failed at something. Most people fail at things in life, it's crucial to growth, and everyone loses things eventually...that's just life.
Trump isn't a loser in this case because he didn't win the prize. He's a loser because of how desperately and embarrassingly he campaigned to get it in the first place. That's biggest loser behavior.
Another great example of how Trump is the biggest loser is how he has all of the world leaders over for an event to the white house, and he shows off his closet full of red baseball caps.
The dude reaches new depths of loserdom daily.
That doesn't make sense? I Wich I was half the loser Trump was. I don't know what I'd do with all the billions.
Look man, by wanting to be like Trump, you're already halfway there.
Elon Musk is a huge loser too. I mean, can you imagine being the richest guy in the world and paying to pretend you're a top gamer? Big, sweaty loser vibes.
This comment made me think how differently we can think of a winner. I guess in America, it means money. But it can also mean being a human being others aspire to be.
I guess it depends on what we think is the goal of life. Is it to gather money?
Obviously its a goal for everyone to have some money so its not a problem in daily life to buy what we need.
