Trump As Hitler Wannabe - From The Keyboards Of Trumpies!

No, I have to write them exactly as they were written, and a more perfect assessment of DONALD TRUMP has hitherto never been presented:

"Seriously, this fuckin’ Hitler wannabe needs to be locked away in a dungeon somewhere – preferably away from any free societies!! (a frontal lobotomy wouldn’t hurt, either!)."

Yeppers, a Hitler wannabe!  As Bill Maher's guests put it last night, there is a parallel between Hitler's populist rise in 1930s Germany and also Trump's in the US of A. In each case, know nothings back him, and as Bill himself put it, they are now trying to blame liberals for the tilt to Trumpism. See e.g.

http://www.salon.com/2016/05/14/youre_not_gonna_get_to_blame_us_for_donald_trump_bill_mahers_tired_of_the_right_saying_liberals_caused_the_billionaires_rise/


Are U fuckin' kidding me? The Right itself is responsible, because as Maher's guest Jeremy Scahill noted, there is an appeal for fascism in these denizens of the country. And Trump is doing no less than mouthing their own most fervent aspirations to have a Hitler-like master telling them when to sleep, read, burp or poop.

The funniest segment was the opening monologue when Bill cited a WaPo report that Trump had "masqueraded as a spokesman" to brag on his sexual liaisons. (Using the nom-de-plume "John Miller"). As he said: "Imagine if Hillary had used a fake identity to call in and report her sex exploits". Well, she'd have been diagnosed with schizoid personality disorder and administered ECT three times a day in a frigging' straight jacket at Bellevue.

 The Economist really put the Trumpies in perspective in a Dec. 5 piece, noting (p. 30):

"The anxiety Trump supporters betray by looking for scapegoats says most, of course, about themselves. Typically members of the white lower middle class, they are at once jealous of the small privileges that distinguish them from the toilers below, and bitterly resentful of the faraway government that provides their Social Security, VA care and Medicare.

Remonstrating in hard times, they are the "radical centre" in academic jargon, who turned out before for George Wallace, a populist southern Democrat who ran for President four times in the 1960s and 70s."

The article then identifies the iconic Trump supporter of this "radical center" with a character  from a John Updike novel named Rabbit Angstrom "from whose flabby mouth dripped endless expressions of impotence, anger and glum humor...having retired to Florida to nurse his disappointment".

Subsequently, The Economist (May 7, p. 21) observed in its article on Donald Trump ('Fear Trumps Hope'):

"He would be a disastrous president. If Mr. Trump's diagnosis of what ails America is bad, his prescriptions for fixing it are catastrophic"

For example, his tax -debt plans are magnitudes more fantastical than Sanders' most extravagant socialist ideas. The Economist again:

"He has pledged to pay down $19 trillion national debt in eight years while at the same time cutting taxes by $10 trillion. Given that he has also pledged to protect Social Security, the Committee for a  Responsible Federal Budget has estimated he would have to cut other areas (e.g. VA, Medicare, military-defense) by 93 percent to meet his objective."

And yet he plans to build up the military! Even the Economist agrees that if Bernie is in fantasy land, the Donald is Donald Duck stuck in "Never Never land".  Hell, the Trumpies don't even seem to recognize Trump is no friend of standard capitalism, he'd rather have corporate or pro-Trump socialism! Prof. David Cay Johnston on Chris Hayes'  May 6 All In tonight reminded one and all that back in 1990, the deadbeat Donald Trump couldn't even pay his damned bills- even though he claimed to be a billionaire. But he got bailed out then because the state of New Jersey Casino Control Division took his side against his bankers - to whom he owed tons of money. In Prof. Johnston's words:

"It was government intervention in the market that saved him."

If you want an example of a pseudo-capitalist invoking socialism there it is. Yet his blind supporters caterwaul day in and day out that it's socialists like Bernie who are the threat. But as Johnston pointed out, it's "Trumponomics" - paying back a deadbeat's cents on the dollar for debt that could truly wreck this country.

It's incredible that demented Trumpies paint Bernie Sanders as a crazed commie loon when their guy is a certified fascist freakazoid (and schizoid with more than one persona) who has also benefited from gov't socialism. What was especially hilarious is how a particular blogger raked Bernie over the coals based on a FOX ('The Five') excerpt of his Maddow interview (dinging the corporate media), dunning him as an idiot for not knowing Maddow's MSNBC was part of the corporate media. Guess this feller never checked the original source (Maddow's actual interview) where Bernie clearly puts Maddow on the spot noting MSNBC is owned by Comcast - "Part of  the corporate media". As I said when bloggers get their sources second hand they can't be trusted. Even when they do they often can't put 2+ 2 together. Sad.

Alas too, they appear they still haven't learned their lesson - that if they keep on brashly bashing Bernie they will lose, as in L-O-S-E whatever Sanders' supporters they may need to overtake "Killary". But hey, maybe they don't care and their "free speech" rights are more important to them than their man having even the chance of a horse turd in a tornado to land in one piece. (Or in Trump's case, winning the presidency).

Do Trumpies Have Any Concept of Principle or Propriety?

It appears that some Trumpies have panties in a twist over the brouhaha that erupted over "The Donna" waltzing over a question by an obviously ignorant Reeptardo at a NH Rally.  They are outraged, outraged ....that their man has taken it on the chin again by "commies and limp wristed socialists" - oblivious to the searing complaints that have also appeared in conservative media and by Reepo candidates themselves - including Chris Christie and Lindsey Graham. What? These two aren't conservative enough for them?

One FLA blogger has erupted in incandescent vitriol to the disdain shown the Donna by asserting on his site that: "Trump is under no obligation to defend Obummer from words or attacks"

Which is true. He isn't under any "obligation". But as John McCain showed in 2008, there is such a thing as countering racist hate-filled claims (and queries, questions)  on principle- especially woven in lies (the blogger claims he has "proof" Obama "admitted to being a Muslim", but any half competent jerk can put together a dubbed, edited faux video (see link at bottom) that abuses facts and portrays falsehoods - I could cite dozens!)

This is one element of leadership I warrant is important, not that it is "obligated". McCain demonstrated he possessed that element of leadership (as well as courage) but "the Donna" didn't - choosing to bypass a golden opportunity to show he had some type of principles and wasn't just a rabble rousing demagogue as conservative (NOT communist) columnist Cal Thomas put it in his recent column.(Colo. Springs Gazette, Sept. 17.)

But failing to take up the challenge, again because it's easier to act the part of a pissed-ass bully boy, Trump lost on the matter of upholding propriety in a public forum - because even if one had antipathy toward Muslims and especially extremists, it was NOT necessary to drag Obama's background into it, which has already been thoroughly documented as 100 percent Christian NOT Muslim! (With the birther scrapple also debunked by serious journalists.) And I would argue this point to the ends of the earth, though it might be futile in doing so with a person who only gets news or views from a limited, biased media domain. Or, who has his mind already made up, meaning he embraces a pre-established belief, divorced from objective evidence.

The blogger also insists:

"These commies and socialist bastards are just trying to tell Americans that they can't say whatever they want.."

First, we aren't "commies and socialist bastards"-  all his histrionics and hysteria notwithstanding. (Well, ok, I am a socialist, but not a bastard.)  But leaving out all the useless elaborations, we are full, red blooded Americans like he is, but believe our political campaign forums ought to be venues for uplifting political insight and informative exchange, as opposed to being mere pig pens with pig excrement tossed hither, thither and yon.

Thus, a fool - half assed and ignorant - "saying whatever he wants" reduces the political forum to the lowest common denominator. This isn't democracy but rather the rough equivalent of having a shit tossing contest.  See how much shit you can dig up and just hurl in any direction, truth and facts be damned (like in the Reepo "debates").  In such a venue, it is then the responsibility of the political candidate to act the grown up and "throw the penalty flag" - to use football parlance. Not to stand there like a dummy, bloviate about this and that and allow the goober's hurled shit to pass without comment.

Second, it is not just we on the left calling attention to this. If the blogger would have read my blog post properly (from which source I presume he got his material to react so vehemently) he would have seen multiple references to conservatives and Republican candidates.   They also pulled Trump up for his egregious omission to call out a knuckle dragger and hateful fool that debased the civic space of a political forum by his xenophobic ranting.

What I am hoping is that he will agree with the right to criticize by those upstanding conservatives and not vilify them as "commies" too, because they do criticize. It would also give me confidence that the NY Times piece I read last week - about most of Trump's base and following being abject xenophobic haters and racists - is not true. Because, personally, I cannot believe the blogger is a racist at heart.

Anyway, the choice remains: do we want our public political rallies and forums to be hitting the high marks for content and sobriety as well as propriety, or "pig pens"?  If we choose the slack pass, anything goes latter we can only gnash our teeth when the political outcome is ultimately no better than what the Germans wrought in their 1932-33 elections that injected Hitler onto the world stage.

The question then remains which my blogger pal can answer himself:

Do Trumpies have any concept of principle or propriety for the political arena?

We "commies" are waiting with bated breath to hear.

Trump Shows His Coward Side By Not Calling Out An Ignorant NH Fool

The televised scene from a Trump NH rally confirmed for many of us that the brash guy called "The Donald" by many, ought to really go by the tamer sobriquet, "The Donna". Because while a real male figure would have put a loser moron in his place for asking a dumbass, insolent, incendiary question "the Donna" just let it roll right by, and remarked "we're gonna get to the bottom of it!". The bottom of what? What a bottomless, brainless, gutless poppet you really are?

The incident was re-related by Chris Matthews last night on Bill Maher's Real Time, noting MSNBC's cameras were rolling at the time, and the camera crew felt it was time for a break, but Matthews said 'hold on'. Good thing he did. Because Trump then called on some loser with a loser look and a loser's dopey ass voice, pseudo-arrogant racist who blurted:

"“We have a problem in this country, it’s called Muslims. We know our current president is one, you know he’s not even an American.”

Thereby echoing the infamous Nazi discussion about how to solve the “Jewish question.”

Trump acting the whole weasel wimp let the comment go right by.

That was the point at which the real would-be leader puts the slimy, brainless little asshole in his place, and reams him out good - like John McCain did with another loser moron who - at a rally in the 2008 campaign - referred to Obama as "an Arab". McCain immediately corrected the feeble-minded twit, telling her firmly as he looked into her piggy eyes, "No!" Then as she tried to babble some more, informed her "He's a good and decent man" and "I just have differences with Mr. Obama over policy."

Trump could have done the same and shown he could at least be considered remotely as potential leader material, but he punted, realizing that challenging the goober required more cojones than he actually possessed. He'd have risked being seen as "soft" and less the bully than he projects, and worse, might have lost votes from the Islamophobic base that the racist turkey hails from.

In making no rebuttal he thereby confirmed conservative columnist Cal Thomas' take of being a demagogue, e.g.:

"Trump is a chameleon, having held contradictory positions on various issues over the years as its suits him. He fits the dictionary.com definition of a demagogue: 'a person, especially an orator or political leader, who gains power and popularity by arousing the emotions, passions sand prejudices of the people'."

For those who might not recall history, that was the M.O. of Adolf Hitler too. (A guy who was also obsessed about being effeminate - hence over compensated by bullying bombast and aggressive posturing).

 In the wake of what has to be the biggest gaffe yet -one of blatant omission - Trump's bona fides are again being called into question and from both sides of the aisle. Even Lindsey Graham said that Trump ought to have immediately corrected the fool instead of letting him blabber on about Obama.

Chris Christie, never shy about criticizing Obama - said the same thing - acknowledging on the “Today” show that he would have corrected the uneducated bozo:

“I’d say that the president’s a Christian and he was born in this country. Those two things are self-evident,”

Bingo!

Most astute observers agree this latest fuckup may be the one that finally puts the stake into the Donna's heart. But we have to see, recalling that Trumpies - like rock groupies - will likely just rally around the Donna even more -seeing him as being attacked by the terrible media, "libruls" and fake conservatives.

Reality testing anyone? The Bushies demolished the last of that during their last run.
