An open question for lurking Trump supporters

[DemocratSinceBirth]

I will refrain from characterizing Mr. Trump's behavior and simply and respectfully ask if you would accept such behavior from a child, a friend, a spouse, a minister, or a business colleague ?

Thank you in advance.

[Vinca]

1. Would they accept such behavior from a Democrat?

[Bettie]

4. They won't accept condiment choices they don't like

from a Democrat!

Wardrobe choices are "impeachable" offenses.

[Kleveland]

17. Yeah, never really understood the outcry over mustard on a hamburger?

Those people had nothing better to do with there lives and position of influence?

Maybe promote some social awareness of starving people in the world, including the US.

Oh, but that would require that there were some self-awareness, of which they have none!

Myself, I like mustard on anything that is beef, and it is very common to use mustard on beef actually.

I totally dislike American style yellow mustard, and prefer a nice Dijon, of which Grey Poupon is a marginal example.

I never ever put ketchup on a hamburger, ever. Nor pickles!

I like mustard, mayo, real cheese, not American, preferably blue, and sometimes bacon with onion, lettuce, tomato.

I guess that makes me a Socialist? Globalist? Whatever....

Who TF cares?

People are really weird.......

21. Obama lied to us.

He said he wanted to help the middle class, and then he goes and does something like use Grey Poupon?

Really? Sickeningly elitist.

The common folk use French's!

[Kleveland]

24. Oddly, French common folk do not use Poupon!

BTW, it is owned by Kraft foods, and made in the US.

It is only made in France for European markets.

Me, I am a disgusting elitist, and I prefer to use Amora, which is made in France, and difficult to find here.

It is perfect for a real French Vinaigrette!

They will hang me for it eventually.

I am living dangerously, I know.

Traitorous mustard, worst than Obama!

[GallopingGhost]

27. Oh good,

a fellow mustard snob!

I don't like American yellow mustard, being the crusty German I am, but right now I am using a jar of Moutarde De Dijon, made by Trois Petits Cochons (Three Little Pigs)

Thank goodness for World Market.

[Kleveland]

28. Mmmmm, sounds good!

I will kept an eye open for that!

My spouse is a serious mustard fan too.

Have you seen this?

The only use I have for American yellow mustard, is as a thick rub coating for smoking Boston Butt (pork shoulder).

If done correctly, i helps make a thick crusty "bark" that is delicious to crunch on!

Also being of largely German origin, I love various mustard on sausages/wursts!

Cheers

31. I like it on ham sandwiches,

hamburgers, and it is an absolute must on hot dogs. Catsup on dogs-bleech!

So August 5th is National Mustard Day.

I've read that you can use ordinary yellow mustard on a burn after you cool-water it, and it will take away the pain. Never tried it.

[maveric]

30. How about Guldens?

Fenway Park had Guldens dispensers.

[GallopingGhost]

32. Gulden's is decent. n/t

[FM123]

2. Exactly.

He is the poster child for what is unacceptable behavior. If we would not tolerate that from any person in a position of leadership (whether a Cub Scout leader or even Head Dog Catcher) why would we tolerate that from the leader of our nation...

[barbtries]

3. i'm not any kind of trump supporter

but imagine their response would be that none of those others are god. trump is god, he can do what he wants.
my best guess is that any supporters he has left are fully inculcated into the cult of personality.

[ReformedGOPer]

15. I read somewhere that a reply to the evangelicals should be

"What is it about DT's behavior that reminds you of Jesus?"

[barbtries]

18. i think that might be quite effective,

if only to get them to shut up.

[gratuitous]

29. Isn't it odd?

For eight years I had to listen to their nincompoop gibes about President Obama as the chosen one or the messiah or some other such nonsense that was patently untrue. While I supported Obama, there were any number of positions and actions he took that I didn't care for, but then I know that no politician is perfect.

Here we are, less an a year post-Obama, and those same knuckleheads prostrate themselves in abject adulation toward the cheetoh-faced shitgibbon. As always, it's projection with these dumbasses.

[Chasstev365]

5. Are these not the actions of a man despatately trying to hide the truth?

[colsohlibgal]

6. It Is Mystifying

In the letters section of my local paper this morning they printed a letter from a Chitolini supporter who whined that his detractors are not giving him a chance.

I wondered about this letter writer....he is OK with our leader acting like an immature creep? This doesn't bother him? Wow.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

9. After 71 years, tRump the Republicon has had all the chance he needs to grow up. . . . nt

[mgardener]

7. Know why they are trying to suppress the vote....

If they excluded people due to ignorance, they would not have a base.
Anybody who cannot see that Trump is an unmitigated disaster for this country and supports him ,in my opinion is ignorant.
Voting against your best interest is ignorance.
Voting repeadetly?
Stupid.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

8. The Republicon tRump cult of personality is such that everything is excused

That unhinged press conference in February brought out the tRump-lickers in full force. (emphasis added)

Donald J. Trump is a truly beautiful man. Absolutely shining!
Love you very much, brother President Trump!
We are with you. We got your back.

The security and joy one gets listening to the Commander in Chief is a good feeling.

He’s the most articulate president we’ve every had. Because he speaks without a script (though he’s using one now, or notes), and that necessarily sounds rougher than the manicured eructations of the perfumed princes.

But he gets criticized for not doing perfectly something that nobody else is willing to attempt at all.

Trump is spouting truth after truth amazing.

19. it's this kind of stuff

that makes me laugh first, then i suddenly realize my blood is going cold.

on donald jr's twitter feed, in a direct response to donald jr's post including donald jr's email feed as provided by donald jr, a person said "this is fake news."

how far removed from reality must a person be to express that aloud let alone think it for a second.

10. this blog

helps to showcase one of our great thinkers.

Lakoff describes conservative morality as a “Strict Father” worldview, and progressive morality as a “nurturant parent” paradigm.

[link:http://www.sheilakennedy.net/|

Conservative moral values arise from what I call the Strict Father Family.

In this family model, father knows best. He decides right and wrong. He has the ultimate authority to make sure his children and his spouse do what he says, because what he says is right. Many conservative spouses accept this worldview, uphold the father’s authority, and are strict in those realms of family life that they control.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

13. He's an awful father.

He cheated on his children's mother in such a flagrant matter that they couldn't help but become aware of it.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

20. Also there is good analysis of Trumpanzees as RWAF, who have been well studied:

RWAF: http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=8065442

[Puzzler]

11. That's such a good question, and it doesn't even have to be political ...

... although, it's virtually impossible to separate left vs right for some people.

Even if one could completely ignore politics, I can't possibly understand how anyone could consider Trump to be even remotely competent. And that's putting it "kindly", and ignoring the huge mountain of evidence that condemns Trump as a treasonous criminal. The sheer perfidy of this man is staggering.

Moreover, even if one could theoretically ignore all of the above, it's hard to escape the suspicion (if not the conclusion) that Trump is, at present, in some huge way, mentally incapacitated.

I can understand how Nazis and similar hate groups can support Trump. But I hardly think any of that any of us need try and convince those "people" of anything.

Similarly, I see little point in attempting to reach out to those GOP criminals who are attempting to enrich themselves during this sad, absurd and dangerous time.

But to the others. Those remaining supporters, and "undecideds": I think they should be condemned utterly. I'm sick and tired of trying to appease this group (if I may overgeneralize here, for the sake of argument). There's simply no point, and no time left. None.

(bloody hell, how did I get into such a rant? Must be extremely pissed off, or something this morning ...)

12. I would want to know...How do you sleep at night?

Since it was obvious Trump was unethical, encouraged violence, disrespectful, mean, admitted molesting people, called those without power derogatory names, made fun of a disabled person, and openly lied repeatedly to an astounding level...knowing all that, you voted for him, anyway....how do you sleep at night, knowing you are part of this nightmare inflicted on our country, our citizens, and the world? How do you sleep at night, knowing that our country is partly controlled by Russia, now?

[dalton99a]

22. +1

[Le Gaucher]

14. Here is their true answer.

"Dodnt matter what Trump does .. We was sufferin and embarrassed , and scared when when that girly, muslim loving, dark skinned man was in the WHITEHOUSE "..

"Trump is a STRONG white man .. Now he isnt perfect .. But LORD knows that we are all sinners ... But Trump does is put the white man where he belongs. On top"

"Now you bleeding heart libruls wouldnt understand a simple thing like that- do you?"

[Snake Plissken]

16. low self-esteem and feeling the need to be punished is typical of cult members

Trump's cult members are no different.

[ChoppinBroccoli]

23. FACT: Republicans Will Accept ANYTHING From ANYONE Who Has An "R" After Their Name

And Trump supporters are even worse. The remaining ones I've seen are dead-solid CERTAIN that Trump is the messiah come down from the mountaintop. They remind me of Renfield, ready to do the master's bidding whatever he decrees.

[Kleveland]

25. Apt comparison

As I consider the WH occupant and his whole cabal/family to be a vampires!

Certainly preying upon the living, and sucking the life blood out of this country in short order!

[Thomas Hurt]

26. fat fascist 45 reflects their ideology, ignorance, biases and bigotries....isn't that beautiful?
