I laughed and laughed at yesterday's Pic of the Day. Then I listened to the whole clip & was livid.

The pic of Donald Trump giving that ridiculous, Palinesque answer to Chuck Todd's question, "Who do you talk to for military advice right now?" was hilarious. I finally got around to watching the whole exchange between Todd & Trump, and was horrified by what I heard. What was much more vile, evil, heinous, and cavalier was what he said to Todd before that question. Trump was bloviating about "taking ISIS oil & Iran & ISIS taking over Iraq, cluelessly conflating the two. Apparently Trump is unaware that Iran hates ISIS. Anyway, the most evil thing he said and what I think absolutely disqualifies Trump from seeking the presidency was in reply to Todd's comment that to take the oil "would require boots on the ground." Trump flippantly chirped, "That's okay!" THAT'S OKAY?!? That's how much that vile cowardly chickenhawk cares about American soldiers. He bragged about "we'll have so much money from the oil", then he had the gall to pontificate about "Wounded Warriors this" and "Wounded Warriors that" and "I see Wounded Warriors in New York walking around with no arms or legs" completely oblivious to the fact that with his flippant "That's okay" he just condemned an untold number of additional troops to becoming more "Wounded Warriors." Asshole. Completely shallow, simplistic thinking.

Hey, shithead, I have a suggestion--why don't you start that whole "boots on the ground" thing by sending your worthless excuses for sons over there? After all, they just love to kill things as evidenced by your precious spawn holding up a severed elephant tail and grinning beside the corpses of much nobler creatures than they are that they saw fit to murder.

At first I was mildly amused by the Trump sideshow. Now I am just beyond sickened. Sorry for the rant. Here's a link to the video:

1. I am not sickened by Trump as much as the sickening GOP party and voters agreeing with the sickness.

And the sickening way the media is not sickened.

Using the Orwellian phrase "boots on the ground" is the warmonger way to avoid saying and then seeing all the "flag-draped caskets in the ground".

2. THe lesson here is while Trump himself may not actually do all these things, his

voters do support all this.

They are this stupid and they care this little about our troops and the lives of Brown people in general.

Trump will resign from the presidency, if elected, on about day 3, when he realizes he will actually have to work for once in his miserable, privileged, pampered, spoiled baby life.

3. I agree completely.

Thank you for the rant. You nailed it.
