Empathetic. Compassionate. Humane. Malignant.



Heh. Differentiation extreme between past and present.

Do you think he will ever put anyone but himself first in anything?


*SHUDDER*

“Just consider the thought process that happened there,” Oliver said, then took viewers through that process:

“He visited a hospital filled with victims of a mass shooting and thought to himself, ‘Remember that other time when I was the center of attention and it was better?’ And then he thought, ‘Do you think anyone else remembers that?’ And then he thought, ‘I should remind them, right?’ Then he thought, ‘Great idea.’ Then he thought, ‘Thank you.’ Then he thought, ‘Ivanka.’ Then he thought, ‘No time.’ And then he said it, and he was happy with how it sounded.”

people who are human.

Fact is, W isn't a great person, but he's not an inhuman monster. He's capable of compassion.

an utter monster.

On a continuum, he's still not a good person, but he does have a capacity to express compassion.

So, he's better than Cheney, WAY better than Trump, but still not a good guy.

Fer cryin' out loud, I'm not suggesting he's some kind of saint....just that he's capable of acting like a human being, unlike some others.
