2. Anybody who loves kitties can't look like a fascist pig no matter what time it is.

Of course Trump loves passive pussy... but I don't think that qualifies.

9. "Sixty million people died in World War II, but fascism won."

Dec 2015

From the link to the article, this excerpt:

"Sixty million people died in World War II, but fascism won. It didn’t win on the battlefield. It didn’t win right away. It won because the same fears, the same greed, the same hatred that fueled its growth in the first part of the twentieth century never went away. The symbols of fascism became anathema, but the causes … went deep. And gradually, slowly, one step at a time, all those vices became first tolerated, then treated as virtues, and then as the only acceptable view."

My God.... this is us. This is us. Trump only synthesizes these values by the evidence of his popularity and the fact that when he talks about waterboarding people who "deserve it" there is wild applause.

4. One of the descriptions of fascism is "...a police whose power of enforcement is divorced from law;"

I fear that nullifies any hope of seeing that asshat in a holding tank.


Same with Lloyd Blankfein, George W., Cheney, ad infinitum

It just popped into my head from the image you posted.

Hopefully this asshole will fade into oblivion after the primaries.

mainstream media plays him over and over again like a bad clown who says outrageous things. Trump himself says over and over and ove again that he is a "media magnet".

I wish a very large magnet that is attracted to reddish hairpieces, would suck him up into the planet Mercury.:

11. The planet mercury is determined to be 800 degrees Fahrenheit. Bye, bye Trumpet

Temperatures on Mercury's surface can reach 800 degrees Fahrenheit (430 degrees Celsius). Because the planet has no atmosphere to retain that heat, nighttime temperatures on the surface can drop to -280 degrees Fahrenheit (-170 degrees Celsius).

Perfect place for that pathetic scum.

Mercury would just consider him fuel.... or food.

His words are filled with bigotry, violence and hatred.

12. He is extremely dangerous if elected. Stay silent and we will all

be in great danger.

If you don't know that, and wish to romanticize him as merely a "grumpy old man" then you must be getting ready for Santa stories ane Schrek movies.

Our reality is that we as a people need to stand up and call evil what it is. If we don't, we'll be just like the "good Germans" who kept everything nicey, nicey and didn't say much except nicey, nicey things.

Grumpy old man indeed! What.... like some freaking Dr. Seuss character!?
