Donald Trump isn’t funny anymore, and we all have to stop him
Washington Post ^ | 2-29-2016 | Michael R. Strain

Posted on 02/29/2016 6:09:35 AM PST by Citizen Zed

The president is our head of state — our chief public representative, a living symbol of the nation. However he would actually govern, Trump is simply unfit to hold this office.

He called for a Muslim registry. He wants to send Syrian refugees back to Syria. He has publicly employed misogyny and has publicly enumerated lists of women with whom he would like to have sex. He has mocked the disabled. He admires Vladimir Putin. He might have ties to organized crime. From the start, his campaign has appealed to the darker angels of our nature, generating support by attacking the vulnerable and rousing fear and suspicion of the other. It is no surprise that years before the 2016 campaign, Trump was a leading figure stirring suspicion that President Obama was not born in the United States.

Trump is deeply morally offensive. Why would we assume he would not continue to be that way as president?

His campaign spokeswoman, Katrina Pierson, tweeted the following in 2012: “Perfect Obama’s dad born in Africa, Mitt Romney’s dad born in Mexico. Any pure breeds left?” National Review wrote about this last month, arguing that Pierson’s “nativism includes a bizarre streak of anti-Catholicism,” among other ugliness. Why does Trump continue to employ her? Why would we assume his White House press secretary would be any different?

And don’t forget this weekend’s atrocious incident in which Trump initially declined to condemn the Ku Klux Klan.

I didn't think the media ever thought Trump was funny.

I don’t know if it is funny, pathetic or just plain sad that a small set of Freepers would probably rush to agree with the Washington Post here.

I think Hillary is deeply morally offensive.

We need to stop her.

Send back the Muslims. Build a wall.

If Trump just does those two things he will have preserved our Republic.

BJs at the Presidential Desk. Serial abuse and harassment of women, active Bimbo-eruption Blitzkriegs, intentionally establishing a private communications system to circumvent open records acts, constant Executive Orders subverting and evading dictates of established law and the constitution, WILLFULL ignoral of Islam and its terrorists, outright hatred and dishonorable conduct to a dead Supreme Court Judge, outright and constant lies and promises, and now, “Trump isn’t funny”

Trump isn’t funny and a Presidency must have standards - only now.....at this point in time. Stick it. See you in November.

The best I can do is not vote, which is what I am going to do.

Anything, from ANY source, that can discount, belittle or demean Donald Trump is apparently now fair game.....that’s why.
