Trumped
Think about all the things we already knew about Donald J. Trump. Imagine, if you will, if just ONE of them was true about Hillary Clinton. Or don't bother with that - imagine any other election of either major party candidate and how any ONE of these things would be disqualifying:
Called for the deportation of people due to their religion, which among many other things, violates the very First Amendment in our Constitution.
Mocked a reporter for his physical disability, then pretended he didn't even know the reporter despite having worked with him for years.
Pledged to deport 11,000,000 people living and working here without residency, via deportation squads, and then building a $25 BILLION wall and pretending Mexico will pay for it. (Hint: They will NOT do this.)
Filed for bankruptcy four separate times
Sued for fraud for the huckster scheme of Trump University
Proclaimed the judge in the Trump U case couldn't possibly be fair because of Trump's stance on Mexican immigrants and the fact that even though the judge was born and raised in Indiana, since he is of Mexican heritage, he's inherently biased against Trump.
Picked a fight with a Gold Star family and suggested the mother wasn't allowed to talk because of her Muslim heritage
Suggested that Ted Cruz's father was involved in the JFK assassination
Repeatedly lied about Muslims celebrating in the streets of New Jersey on 9/11
Secured a $150,000 grant from the city for 9/11 relief funds despite not having any related damage and supposedly being a billionaire
Suggested Vladimir Putin is a great leader, done interviews on Russian TV, asked Russian hackers to hack Hillary Clinton and so. much. more.
Said as President he might stop aiding other countries without them paying more for it, essentially turning the military into a mob protection racket.
Suggested it would be fine if Saudi Arabia, South Korea and other countries arm themselves with nuclear weapons. Later reportedly asked in intelligence briefing three times why we have nuclear weapons if we won't use them.
Been married three times, and cheated on (at least) the first two wives with (at least) the women who would marry him next.
Has the worst combover and fake tan of any sentient life force known to man.
Stated that if his daughter wasn't related to him, he'd probably date her because she's so attractive.
Blamed victims of sexual harassment at work for not being stronger or finding a new job.
Said that former prisoner of war John McCain wasn't a real hero, because he likes heroes who aren't captured.
I could keep going on but I'm getting furious realizing how far this has gone with such an inept, morally bankrupt candidate for the leader of the free world.
Tonight, things got much worse. Tonight, a video was released from about 11 years ago, where Trump is bragging to Billy Bush (really? Of all people, Mr. Trump, you sought to impress Billy Fucking Bush?) about trying and failing to sleep with a married woman on the show (while Trump himself was recently married and with Melania three months pregnant with their son) - and then, stated he needed a Tic Tac because he might just have to kiss an attractive woman, stating that as a 'star' he could just do what he wanted. Here are some choice quotes:
“I moved on her like a bitch, but I couldn’t get there. And she was married.”
“I did try and fuck her. She was married.”
“Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.”
“Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything.”
If you'd like to see the whole delightful thing, it's all over but here it is on Deadspin.
Remember, evangelical Christians have overwhelmingly decided to support this piece of shit. Tonight, many leading GOP figures are stating that this is 'inexcusable' and repellant, etc. A few have even withdrawn their endorsement - perhaps more will follow suit.
I doubt that this is disqualifying. Nothing seems to be. What's more, ballots are already mailed and people are voting. Some assholes have already voted for this guy.
Look, I know a LOT of people despise Hillary Clinton. I don't think she's extremely likeable (though I do think President Obama and Bill Clinton and Joe Biden all are, as a guideline). And I know there are many who have been convinced that she belongs in prison, has had people killed and sprinkles crispy baby flesh over her oatmeal each morning. But for sentient human beings who avoid the more ridiculous side of things, at the very least you can't vote for this turd.
I honestly don't know how I could look my wife and daughter in the face and tell them that I chose to vote for THIS guy to lead the country.
