    As Lucey started to ask why Trump was behaving the way he was “if there’s nothing incriminating in the [Epstein] files”, Trump pointed at her and said: “Quiet. Quiet, piggy.”

    Hm, why did he respond this way if there’s nothing in the files?

      I don’t know, but I hope she quotes him.

      “When questioned about his inconsistent behavior regarding Epstein, Trump responded, ‘Quiet piggy,’ his neck skin flapping back and forth like a half-mast flag of surrender.”

        “While trying to deflect from his obvious guilt, Trump tried and failed to hold back from filling his diaper. He scowled and his mangina seemed to get even more orange. He tried to muster a real comeback, but arrived at the flaccid third-grade insult: ‘piggy’. Everyone in the room tried not to breathe in the awful stench coming from the so-called President.”

    Trump makes disparaging comment about a woman’s appearance, nothing new or surprising there. Guy looks like a scrotum dipped in a bucket of Cheetos and wallpaper paste. He can’t say shit.

        I wanted them to file articles of impeachment when I saw Obama not only Presidenting while black, but with his feet up on a desk! ZOMG!

    So Trump bluntly proves he has no respect for women to their face…but wants us to believe he didn’t mistreat the women/girls in the Epstein files?

    Probably from other people he will also just call piggy also, or call them “the worst”, and other insults of anyone that doesn’t praise him constantly.

    But, just for that. We’re all fine with everything else he says. It’s the schoolyard insult that really gets us riled up.

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.

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

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.
