We Will NEVER NEVER NEVER Live Down This Total Bastard. He Will Be A Part Of Our History.

[TheMastersNemesis]

I simply cannot hear a syllable from this self serving prick. It just makes me want to scream.

1. I always mute when the Big Con is talking on the tv..

[maxsolomon]

2. THIS I can agree with.

He's a stain that will never come out. America will be ashamed of itself.

3. Nicole Wallace, MSNBC, just played a part of his speech

and she said, "OK, there's a real stable guy". He sounded nuts. Her comment made me laugh out loud.

[triron]

4. She was facetious I presume.

[BigmanPigman]

6. Yes, she was being sarcastic.

[Aristus]

5. It's the same sort of anguish and despair I felt when we called our Nazi-style blitzkrieg of Iraq:

Operation Iraqi Freedom .

In the history books forever...

[malthaussen]

10. I read a comment somewhere-or-other...

... that said, essentially, that when regimes choose code names for military operations that reflect propaganda, is is a sign that the regime is morally bankrupt.

We called the Normandy landings "Operation Overlord," not "Operation Liberate Europe." We didn't see the need for the code name to be both justification and masturbation.

As a side note, I wonder when multi-word code names for military operations became fashionable. One word was deemed sufficient for any of the operations we conducted in WWII.

I fortunately won't be around in, say, 50 years when (supposing the human race survives) the history of these times will be written. I can't imagine how anyone who has lived through them can avoid being embarrassed, humiliated, and ashamed of the shit we've pulled.

7. If we send the whole lot of them to prison, I think the world will forgive us.

But, it will be generations before we can bridge the divide. Germany overcame it by trials, convictions, imprisonment, and a zero tolerance for nazi sentiment. The sympathizers went back into the holes they came from. We need zero tolerance. This is not the time for democrats to look forward. If we get power, we take them all down.

8. Just think, the case can easily be made that Trump...

...is already an objectively more corrupt President than William Harding, who is considered the worst President EVER!

[Squinch]

9. But, you know, Hillary just didn't make some people excited to vote for her.

[delisen]

14. Yes, those are the people not ready for democracy.

Any dictator or strongman can get people excited-but democracy requires reasoning.

I am not against the excitement--but when it comes to running a county I much prefer a Merkel to any number of exciting candidates.

[NewJeffCT]

11. I hope that in the future

Trump is spoken of like people speak of Benedict Arnold now - and people debate if Arnold or Trump were the biggest traitor in American history.

[OnDoutside]

12. I know it doesn't seem like it now, but if the US gets out of this mess, his win might be the best

thing that has happened, in that it may potentially lead to the destruction of the Republican Party. Imagine the effect this is happening on millennials ? They're on their way up, while the Reps are an aging voting block.

[Kirk Lover]

13. You are right, he is part of the history...but forever and forever tied to the GOP. n/t
