There was more emotion in Stephen Hawking's 20 year old robot voice than Trump's attempt

at reading out the "we must fight hate" boilerplate that someone had put on his autocue. He has no pity or regret at all. Those deaths meant nothing to him at all, apart from an inconvenience that meant he had to pretend to have some concern. Compare that with how animated he is when telling non-whites to "go back home" or saying the people of Baltimore aren't really human.

I don't think any politician would have shown less humanity. Fuck, I think David Duke would have cared more. He'd be able to fake caring more, anyway. Trump just doesn't give a fuck, apart from his re-election chances.

It sounded like a baboon trying to read a telephone directory.

Awful. Just awful.

I have a weak stomach, but I was in slow moving traffic.

My goodness, if I didn't know who it was him I would have felt sorry for him.
