Dear Lord please take DJT now, the lack of empathy and dignity is getting to me.

I don’t follow sports and his death has still impacted me to an extent I never thought possible.
RIP Kobe and Gianna.

Reports are that basketball great Kobe Bryant and three others have been killed in a helicopter crash in California. That is terrible news!
Now see, this is what you libs don’t get about Trump’s appeal. He doesn’t pretty it up with reflection or insight, empathy or an attempt to find solace for the living. He just fucking blurts out the first incredibly obvious and banal thing that comes into the rat’s nest he calls a mind. A celebrity died in a helicopter crash? How should we feel about that, Mr. President? Is it a good thing, or a bad thing, or what? What’s that you say? It’s a terrible thing? Well, that is a shame, certainly, but it eases our minds to have it all sorted out that way.
Fucking moron.

The “terrible news” Trump mentions is that the helicopter that crashed (a Sikorsky 76) is the same model that Trump’s private helicopter is.

Great, an upcoming treasonous Senate acquittal followed by irrational gloating by Putin’s Puppet of total exoneration, and now this…

By now it is clear that you, like Mr. Tillerson, are being unjust to fucking morons everywhere.
Some day in the not-too-distant future, when someone wants to say the absolute worst thing imaginable to their opponent, they will say, “Why you, you, you … Trump, you!”

I read that back when he was running. Anything that garners attention is about him, and if it isn’t by God he’ll make it so. Nothing matters to him but revenge and self-aggrandizement. He just doesn’t care, literally, whether anyone else lives or dies.

Trumps tweets when someone passes or there is a tragedy not about him are so lacking in thought or empathy they read like an old press release from Pravda or the North Korean news agency.
“Dear comrades! Tragic news!”

Gloating to a bunch of Evangelicals the other day about his favorite quote in the Bible - “an eye for an eye”. I guess two Corinthians are no longer in favor.
