Trump not your conventional decent person, and besides, decency is so “politically correct.”

Is Trump human?
Let’s get this straight, shall we?
Hours later a campaign staffer went to Drumpf’s Twitter account to offer prayers on Dishonest Don’s behalf.
We know this because Der Drumpenführer doesn’t use Apple devices and that tweet was posted from an iPad.

He’s had his whole life to act like a decent human being. He hasn’t done it before, at 70, he isn’t going to start now.
Take a good look at the photo of Trump on the editorial by Josh on the take over by FOX. All that gilt. Trump thinks he’s going to be king.
It reminds me of nothing so much as one of Saddam Hussein’s palaces.
If being human requires more than possessing the same bones and organs all humans share, no he’s not.
I don’t like going Godwin in a discussion, but anyway…
I was watching a documentary last night about the rise of Hitler and Nazism in 1930s Germany. Hitler gave a speech. He than stepped aside for Goebbels to address a large crowd. Goebbels railed against Jews, pinning all of Germany’s troubles on them. The crowd roared in approval. As I watched his hysterics and presentation I mentally inserted “illegal immigrants” in every sentence where Goebbels used the word “Jew”. For all intents and purposes what Goebbels was saying, and the reaction it was designed to elicit, was identical to a speech given by Trump today.

And yet, he still commands the prospective vote of way too many Americans.
We can wring hands over all of this, but in the long run, to his supporters, he’s just like them. He speaks their language. It’s an us-vs.-them world of others who are coming to take away their jobs, rape them and murder them. I’m not so sure HRC;s more positive message is getting through to any more than those who are already for her.
It’s kind of like the Facebook meme I saw the other day about the 49-er’s QB that won’t stand for the National Anthem (and he’s not required to), and how all the military guys on my page want him drawn and quartered when, in fact, they did battle to defend the QB’s right to choose his freedom of expression. Everything they went to the military to defend and they burn this guy’s football jersey replica.
There is no logic for DT’s overwhelming support (yes, I know he’s still behind HRC) and that he has any support at all is more than just disturbing. There is no degree of humanity for DT that exceeds zero.

The MSM managed to pull this “both sides” crap again even about her health (“neither of the candidates has released detailed medical records”), which gives Trump plenty of room to tweet that bullshit to further feed the MSM (yep, I’m talking about you, Mrs Greenspan).
Besides her health, they keep obsessed with her emails, the CF, the number of days since her last press conference. Meanwhile, days easily pass without any mention of the fact Trump hasn’t released any records.

Does Rinse’n’Spin REALLY talk to TweetySue every day … or is it the ‘voices’?
But only after heavily salting it with hate and bigotry.
“Pepper it with decency, dignity and humanity.” Mama Mia, that’s a spicy meatball!
Hasn’t she already done this, at least to the level ‘required’ by previous candidates?
Yes. And yet this is a recent NY Times headline about this health thingy (ETA: I should note that Patrick Healy is a horrible repeated false equivalency offender).

Yes there is. Talk to 50 random citizens. There is your logic. Poorly educated, poor command of the language and logic. Don’t follow the issues, couldn’t comprehend them to any appreciable depth if they tried. Unhealthy, eat poorly, don’t exercise, obese, addicted to drugs and alcohol and cotton candyesque intellectual inputs. Idiots to put it bluntly. Sheep easily led out to graze in vast fields abundant in xenophobia, homophobia, racism, misogyny, violent militaristic nationalism and anti-intellectualism. There’s your logic.

I do think Trump is an extreme narcissist but I don’t see evidence of Daddy issues.
It make take serious contortions but he will get it from the media framing his comments through the false equivalency lens. Think Wolf Blitzer, etc.
New campaign motto. “Trump: In your heart you know he has a degree of one”
As folks have been saying for a while now, Dishonest Don’s speeches sound better in the original Hochdeutsch.
There isn’t enough lipstick, Reince.
