Basically they are saying "This is excellent news for Donald Trump." VMA131Marine Oct 2016 #2

The primary meaning of 'nemesis' is "inescapable agent of downfall" muriel_volestrangler Oct 2016 #3

They say Trump is an Alpha male and his behaviour is normal for such Kaleva Oct 2016 #4

For some reason they've always been fixated on DU.... Hortensis Oct 2016 #5

Did they ever actually rate as "nemesis"? JHB Oct 2016 #6

In the ancient Greek religion, Nemesis (/ˈnɛməsɪs/; Greek: ?έ?????

, also called Rhamnousia/Rhamnusia ("the goddess of Rhamnous&quot

was the goddess who enacted retribution against those who succumb to hubris (arrogance before the gods). Another name was Adrasteia/Adrestia, meaning "the inescapable".[1] Her Roman name/counterpart is Invidia.

I don't see them as our nemesis. That implies they succeed.

Maybe in the sense of Snidely Whiplash or Team Rocket -- the bumbling bad guys who occasionally rise to the level of nuisance. I know some DUers get their jollies by watching that ant-farm, but really, who cares what they think?

When I'm REALLY depressed I listen to Alex Jones.

Reading David Icke's tran-dimensional reptilian alien super gods illuminati stuff is reserved for my deepest despairs (like if Trump won)
