Carl Paladino, a former Republican nominee for governor of New York and an adviser to president-elect Trump, included the death of President Obama and return of first lady Michelle Obama to Africa on his list of things he wanted for 2017.
Paladino was responding to a survey by an alternative weekly magazine, Artvoice.
Asked what he would like to happen in 2017, he said he hopes that Obama catches mad cow disease and dies after having relations with a Hereford, a type of cow. Asked what he would most like to see go, Paladino responded that Michelle Obama would return to being male and be let loose in Zimbabwe.
Artvoice: What would you most like to happen in 2017?
Carl Paladino: Obama catches mad cow disease after being caught having relations with a Herford. He dies before his trial and is buried in a cow pasture next to Valerie Jarret, who died weeks prior, after being convicted of sedition and treason, when a Jihady cell mate mistook her for being a nice person and decapitated her.
Artvoice: What would you most like to see go in 2017?
Carl Paladino: Michelle Obama. Id like her to return to being a male and let loose in the outback of Zimbabwe where she lives comfortably in a cave with Maxie, the gorilla.
In a statement to The Post, Paladino denied that the comments were racist.
It has nothing to do with race, Paladino said. Thats the typical stance of the press when they cant otherwise defend the acts of the person being attacked.

But this election wasn't about race or misogyny right? We just needed to learn how to 'speak their language' right?

(10,252 posts)Boastful about how mean-spirited he can be. A mind like his, filled with racist and sexist slurs, is the root of all the evil misdeeds and unhappiness in this world. He probably thinks that he is being funny. But it is a gallows sort of humor, absolutely no different than the type of humor that finds torture, rape, and humiliation funny. What an evil mind.

OK
..I have a burning question to ask of ya all. I am not a religious type and I am not sure what I believe in. I know there is something out there but I am not sure what it is and I cannot nor will I name it as god. I guess one would call me an agnostic .
OK
lets say if there is a god why does he and I am sure it is a he, why does he allow for this evil crap shite to exist to plague and hamper mankinds development and progress. I know what Joseph Campbell has said that the whole of the universe is made up of dualities and that you cannot have good, without evil.
However, is there not enough good people in this world to make the world a more fitting and reasonable place in which to raise and nurture the next generation.
Its like
you are what you eat. Why allow so much evil to invade, dwell and intrude on the peace of this planet and its people. It is a choice that each, and every one of us must make and then only working together can we confront such malice and deny it a place in which to grow and prosper. How does your garden grow? You pull up the weeds.

I often think of Einstein's quote: I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.
That is if any humans even survive!

Excerpt: The brain is like Velcro for negative experiences but Teflon for positive ones.
Paul Rozin and Edward Royzman showed in their research that the negative perspective is more contagious than the positive perspective. A study by John Cacioppo and his colleagues showed that our attitudes are more heavily influenced by bad news than good news. Other researchers analyzed language to study negativity bias. For example, there are more negative emotional words (62 percent) than positive words (32 percent) in the English dictionary.
In our brains, there are two different systems for negative and positive stimuli. The amygdala uses approximately two thirds of its neurons to detect negative experiences, and once the brain starts looking for bad news, it is stored into long-term memory quickly. Positive experiences have to be held in our awareness for more than 12 seconds in order for the transfer from short-term to long-term memory. Rick Hanson describes it in this way: The brain is like Velcro for negative experiences but Teflon for positive ones.
