General Discussion
Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsThere are only two people I can think of whose photos cause me to wince when I suddenly
encounter them on the internet or TV: Donald Trump and Marjorie Taylor-Greene.
This is not a simple attack on their physical appearance. Those photos slap me in the face with the simple-minded evil they so proudly flaunt. My lip curls, my eyes narrow and I am reasonably sure my blood pressure surges upward in what I guess is a sort of instinctive "fight or flight" reaction.
I choose to fight.

Trump looks like a thug who was Generalissimo and wants it all back, and more.

I thought Id reach for something else.
Cro-Magnon just sounds good but its still giving too much credit.
Maybe
Australopithecine.

(15,220 posts)Im not forgetting Trump here. His mouth drives me nuts. Looks like a tiny butthole and his flailing little arms dont help his cause any either.
That said, Greene just looks swollen or something. Not fat. Swollen. Strange. Unnatural. Maybe its the empath in me and I feel the evil same as was mentioned up thread.
I avoid looking at both of these jerks (and several others).

(23,224 posts)Because one looks like the other, the same stuff comes out of both, and they're interchangeable.
agree, MTG looks like some female bodybuilder who doped for awhile and then quit.

(11,261 posts)on my T V remote. I once counted over twenty flattering pictures of trump on a single cable channel segment just because they were talking about him. They repeat it many times daily. I cut the cable but catch it on you tube. Sick. Yeah Mag green too.

(28,256 posts)Cruz claims to be one of my senators, but I've never taken him seriously. I mean, I'm a Texan so practically all my politicos are bottom-of-the-barrel asswipes. But Cruz? Puh-leeeze...

(2,528 posts)I often daydream about the noises he'd make if I gave him a solid jab to the face.
Probably tear my rotator cuff but it would be worth it.
Not that I'm advocating for violence - but we all know how he makes us feel.
Paladin
(28,256 posts)...and they turn out to be absolute fuck-holes. Go figure...
Probatim
(2,528 posts)Not very popular or attractive but probably pretty smart. Probably had a chip on their shoulders because they couldn't get laid.
Now they're punishing anyone who isn't like them and lording themselves over the rest of us.

Mr.Bill
(24,284 posts)but in Trump's case, he wasn't born with that ridiculous hairdo, he does it to himself.
As far as Ted Cruz goes, he has single-handedly made me doubt the value of an Ivy League education. Universities should seriously consider making their degrees revocable.
As for Marjorie Taylor-Greene, she is simply a pig. Only difference is pigs are smarter.

(21,630 posts)Clowns like those are the inevitable result of letting elites choose puppets and stooges to represent us all.
They're not only incapable of doing their jobs, in anything resembling representative democracy - but cost us respect around the world, besides.

(5,395 posts)1. The media is attracted to noise makers. Any logic in the noises they make is coincidental.
2. Human evolution reached a peak a while back and is now in reverse.
