I would start with if you want to attack me start with spelling my name correctly.
Then I'd add the past paragraph of the Baltimore Sun editorial
Finally, while we would not sink to name-calling in the Trumpian manner or ruefully point out that he failed to spell the congressmans name correctly (its Cummings, not Cumming) we would tell the most dishonest man to ever occupy the Oval Office, the mocker of war heroes, the gleeful grabber of womens private parts, the serial bankrupter of businesses, the useful idiot of Vladimir Putin and the guy who insisted there are good people among murderous neo-Nazis that hes still not fooling most Americans into believing hes even slightly competent in his current post. Or that he possesses a scintilla of integrity. Better to have some vermin living in your neighborhood than to be one.
Trump's handlers are going to have to do some fine "fluffing" to remove the mark that is going to leave.
I mean I wasn't into name calling but Trump isn't a normal president, isn't a normal person. I call him Pedo45 now.
Maybe we should start calling his Republican enablers, "fluffers?"

(15,237 posts)Trump has no ideology those who follow are pure raw racists or worse. Trump is in this for the money and to stay out of jail. He adapts to their racism they give him oxygen and feed his mental illness. It might be possible in other circumstances Trump would have developed other positions as long as they benefit him.

?itemid=3884475
Responding to that motherfucker in any other way is giving him EXACTLY what he wants: Controversy and distraction. It's looooong past time to take away his binkie.
That being said, the Baltimore Sun is spot-on.

I don't call it name-calling any more than putting a "Danger" sign on a broken stretch of highway is name-calling. It's a public service!!
