If you’re last name is “Rodriguez” and you are still working for Border Patrol, you’re a traitor.

I guarantee you this man turns out to be a pedo.

Trump: Putting the “fat” in “fatwa” since 1946.

That’s good to hear. It’s been many years since I’ve stayed in touch with either my extended family or my friends who live down there. (Most of my family moved from Portugal to Canada, but a couple of distant cousins moved instead to Brasil…around Niteroi if I remember correctly)

I last spoke with them in the early 2000s, and back then it was a pretty crazy contrast between the rich and the poor. Almost no true middle class. You either were wealthy enough to have servants, or you WERE the servant and went home to your favela that (if you were lucky) had electricity.

This is unquestionably a good thing. But it’s also kind of weird that it’s Brasil of all places in on this, since the inequality there between the super wealthy and the folks living in the favelas is just an accepted part of life…kind of like the caste system in India.

I’m not saying that that’s a good thing. I’m just saying that I wouldn’t imagine the Brasilian authorities would actually give a shit considering the state of their own inequality and how it’s just kind of taken as a “reality of life” down there.

Yes. They are proud.

I hate to tell you, but they’re not covering their face out of a sense of shame; they’re covering them in order to prevent retaliation from people who disagree with them. They have no shame about what they’re doing.

If they are recognised and shunned, or refused service because of their actions, there’s no shame or self-reflection. it’s still the fault of the “damn libs”. THAT’S why they cover their faces; because they know they’re actions are unpopular and will get them retaliated against.

But knowing their actions are unpopular doesn’t mean for a second that they’re ashamed of those actions. On the contrary, the fuckers are proud to be doing Trumps dirty work.

The other side is already scouring obscure precedent to use to disqualify and deport him. So while this is great news, I won’t hold my breath for any sort of actual election victory past the primary.

Going through the motions of elections right now feels very much pointless since only someone incredibly naive would think that the right has any intention of allowing elections to matter any more.

The sooner Americans realise that it’s Let Them Eat Cake time the sooner they can move on with guillotine o’clock.

Peaceful protests, boycotts and sternly worded letters rely on the people you’re protesting having a sense of shame. Which the right (and most of the left) no longer have.

And Hitler refused to believe until nearly the end that Operation Barbarossa was a failure.

Can we just skip to the part where Trump and Melania blow their fucking brains out in a bunker, please.

They don’t care. It’s not like those people are human to them, after all.

I feel like beyond the stupidity. Beyond the corruption. Beyond the narcissism and the self-aggrandising, the lying and the greed; it’s never really talked about enough about how he’s just a flat-out asshole he is.

Even if he were just some dude driving a pickup truck to a 9-5 job, his entire demeanour is just one of a mean-spirited shit-heel who would get his teeth kicked in at any bar in any “regular joe” town in the world.

At some point even he has to realize that he’s a joke right?

Like even his syphillitic brain can’t not see what’s right in front of him forever, can it?

To other world leader’s he’s a joke. Someone who they can stroke his ego to get whatever they want, and then ignore him entirely and do whatever they feel like anyway.

“Israel…don’t drop those bombs” Israel had no intention of listening to him. Russia had no intention of listening to him. They make his sense of self importance skyrocket and so they say whatever they need to say to get him to do whatever THEY want him to do, and then don’t listen to him the rest of the time.

Is he really this fucking stupid?
