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

Sky News can reveal Trump has failed to comply with the costs order with Christopher Steele, the former MI6 agent who compiled the infamous document.

Trump was ordered to pay costs in February after the High Court threw out his attempt to sue Mr Steele's company Orbis Business Intelligence.

The former president claimed the report, which included unsubstantiated allegations of bribery and that he used sex workers while on a trip to Moscow, contained inaccuracies and breached his rights under the Data Protection Act.

The judge, Mrs Justice Steyn, did not make any judgment on the allegations but ruled the claim was invalid because it was filed after the six-year limitation period. Trump was subsequently also denied leave to appeal.

The twice impeached felon and rapist with tiny hands

Not his only appendage that has been called tiny.

Convicted felon and "Home Alone 2" guest star Donald Trump

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 49 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (2 children)

He owned the Plaza for a short period of time, and he required a cameo in order for the filming to take place in the hotel (they wanted something that looked like opulence to a child). He's been an egomaniac for as long as he's been "relevant".

Also, I fucking hate seeing his stupid face. And I hope there's a time where he not only loses relevance, but his face isn't shown ever again.

[–] essell@lemmy.world 23 points 5 months ago (2 children)

He'll be dead soon.

I hope the secret service investigate me for this comment.

"my plan is to let him die of old age"

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Quickly and quietly with no known cause of death.

Fell out of a window

Honestly I am going to take the day off just to celebrate the day he strokes out or whatever. He is an absolutely irredeemable psychopathic shitrag of a human being, and the world will be measurably better off without him.

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 21 points 5 months ago

Native New Yorker. The Trump Plaza fiasco was well covered by the local press. The greatest dealmaker in the world massively overextended himself and had to take a [iirc] $90 million bath.

Yeah, that one!

[–] randompasta@lemmy.today 19 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I wish there was some way the UK could ask for the US to extredite him and he rotted in a UK jail.

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 27 points 5 months ago (1 children)

We couldn’t even get the US woman back that ran over a kid or young person a few years ago. Fuck the USA. Fuck my home the UK too whilst we’re at it.

[–] jimmy90@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago (2 children)

yeah that was horrible but there was diplomatic immunity involved

[–] P1nkman@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Her husband had diplomatic immunity, his wife did not. She was told by someone (i think it was the US embassy or something, I'm not bothered to Google it) to just take the next flight to the US, which she did, and suffered ZERO consequences for killing someone!

[–] jimmy90@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

oh really? i must be misinterpreting this then

https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1964/81

Article 37

For her husband.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 18 points 5 months ago (1 children)

And the hits keep on coming.

As they should for this fraudster.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

I can't believe anyone thought Trump would pay a lawyer, especially a foreign court.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 17 points 5 months ago

Good luck getting the money without seizing some of his assets. No way dolt 45-34 is going to pay voluntarily. Criminals never do.

[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

About $382K for those wondering.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Donald Trump is in breach of a British High Court order to pay £300,000 in legal costs to the former spy who compiled a salacious dossier alleging Russian interference in the 2016 US election.

Trump was ordered to pay costs in February after the High Court threw out his attempt to sue Mr Steele's company Orbis Business Intelligence.

The former president claimed the report, which included unsubstantiated allegations of bribery and that he used sex workers while on a trip to Moscow, contained inaccuracies and breached his rights under the Data Protection Act.

Mr Steele, a former head of MI6's Russia desk, was commissioned to produce the document by Trump's political opponents including Hillary Clinton's Democratic Party.

Mr Steele says he has no means of recouping his costs from UK assets owned by Trump, because the golf courses that bear his name in Scotland are held in trust structures.

"The High Court in London has found that there was not even an attempt by Christopher Steele, or his group, to justify or try to prove, which they absolutely cannot, their false and defamatory allegations in the fake 'dossier," he added.
