A story about a pathetic man's downfall [34 Felony Convictions]

[henrygandorf 29,199]

can’t wait to walk into the pharmacy or doctors office this week and ask for the test that proves i am smarter than the radical left democrat party maniacs.

Still bragging about having to take a cognitive test. 

There's a lot of material to choose from, but I have to say this is his most hilarious bit. The fake dialogue with the doctors who are blown away by his performance reliably brings the lulz. I like that this time he mixed in the bit about his uncle being the smartest person in history and how that somehow says something about him. 

He's like one of those pull-string farm animal toys, just repeating the same handful of anecdotes that he can keep sort of straight in his mind. These are going to be truly epic after a couple more years of dementia and Rhonda fully supplanting him in the hearts of the deplorables (I'm sure he'll still be giving speeches to pathetically small crowds to try and keep the grift going).

I liken him to a Chuck E Cheese or Showbiz Pizza animatronic that was struck by lightning Johnny 5 style. But he hasn't been given sentience, only the freedom and ability to roam the earth constantly repeating the same 15 lines it was programmed to say.

 I hate to insult jelly fish or parasitic worms but these fucks don't have a spine between them. More worried about re-election than democracy itself.

 

 

...he portions of the book reviewed by The Post detail how leading Washington Republicans loathed or were skeptical of Trump behind the scenes — yet capitulated repeatedly to his demands, fearful of his powerful and loyal base and his ability to damage them politically.

 Throughout the book, countless Republicans bad-mouth Trump in private, highlighting his erraticism and devious behavior, only to heap praise on him publicly.

That night, with the attack seared in his mind, McConnell took a strident tone against Trump and his desire to slash his influence going forward, according to the book. Citing the 2014 midterm elections, where McConnell attacked some of the fringe far-right candidates, he said he would take Trump and his ilk down in the 2022 midterms.

McConnell tells his staff that Trump is a “despicable person” and says he will take him on politically.

[WhatTheBuck 28,842]

I don’t think it takes any special genius to spew hate and sow division. Being a thug and a brute is easy. Any idiot can do that. It’s harder to be in a position of power and be thoughtful, careful, reasoned, just, and fair. To know that you don’t know everything and to consider the counsel of others. To be open to learning new things. To be able to change your mind.

Trump just saw that his racist and bigoted hate speech went over with a certain segment of the population. Obama wasn’t born in America. Ban all Muslims from entering the country. Mexicans are rapists and murderers and drug dealers. Neo-Nazis and klansmen in Charlottesville are “fine people.” Countries populated by black people in Africa and the Caribbean are “shithole countries.” Saying we need immigrants from places like Norway. Calling every black female politician who disagrees with him a low IQ individual. Banning transgender people from the military. The list goes on and on.

It doesn’t take a very stable genius to be a bigot and a con man. He’s unquestionably an idiot. I think “savant” is giving him too much credit. He’s just another mob boss. He was born rich. Made a career out of self-promotion through bullshit and lies. Wrecked a number of businesses. Got turned into a reality tv star by the producers of his show and used that new found celebrity to launch a political career based on hate. On that he simply followed the fascist playbook. It’s almost like he took a correspondence course from Vladimir Putin. But maybe such things just come naturally to anyone with authoritarian instincts.

Yep. He’s incredibly shallow and simple. Everything he says and does is testing out how far he can go. Everyone who pledges loyalty to him he will push and push until they come to a line they won’t cross and then he’ll stab them in the back. He’s a sickness, a cancer, a disease. And the new wave of Republicans have decided that the way to win now is to emulate him.

I somewhat disagree.  He is a savant when it comes to self-promotion.  It's not a "genius" thing, per se -- it's just his "gift."  Kind of like how some people have a gift for engaging you in conversation in a way that makes you feel like you're the most important person they've ever met.  That's usually not a product of careful study, or high IQ -- it's just something wrapped up in their innate way of being in the world.

Well, Trump has an innate way of being in the world that makes him a gifted con man and manipulator.  It's truly amazing to watch -- he performs at the highest level in that regard.  The truth is cold, but still true: a multiple-times failed businessman who is not very bright at all managed to convince tens of millions of people not just to vote for him but that he is literally anointed by God to be the leader of all men.  There's no questioning the level of his accomplishment there.  That those gifts were given to someone who is pure id, completely amoral, and perhaps the most pathological selfish narcissist in human history is humanity's very, very, very bad fortune.

Put a D instead of an R next to his name, and those same people aren't anointing him.  Having an R next to his name and being a racist became synonymous.  Congrats on his innate brilliancy I guess. Now on to the next racist Republican leader.  How will the base possibly rally around this new leader?

I know this has been posted before, but it's so goddamned spot on it should be posted every few pages here. Every word is completely unassailable. Even the most ardent trump supporter could not credibly find a single misstatement or untruth. I often struggle to fully articulate the problems with this man because there is seemingly something dumber every second. This summary is just so fucking right.

Quote

Someone asked “Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?”

Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England, wrote this magnificent response:

A few things spring to mind;

Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem.

For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed.

So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.

Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever.

I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman.

But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.

Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers.

And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.

There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface.

Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront.

Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul.

And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist.

Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that.

He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat.

He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.

And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully.

That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead.

There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down.

So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:

Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.

You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.

This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss.

After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum.

God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid.

He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W. look smart.

In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.

And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish:

‘My God… what… have… I… created?’

If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set
