CELEBRATING THE MIGHTY HITCHSLAP:


The acid commentary of the late Mr. Hitchens…

CAUSTIC, CAUTIONARY, and considered by some to occasionally
wax ever so 'CALLOUSLY'...








but in the end
( I also believe )
COGENT ,
      CORRECT...


and
COGNITIVELY SOUND !!











When you hear people demanding that the Ten Commandments be displayed in courtrooms and schoolrooms, always be sure to ask which set. It works every time.
Christopher Hitchens





The acid commentary of the late Mr. Hitchens…
Perfectly Piquant!!

APROPOS GOOD FRIDAY...


 Pilate's Prickly Predicament

…"But you have a custom that I release someone for you at the Passover... Do you wish then that I release for you the King of the Jews?" 40 So they* cried out again, saying, "Not this Man, but Barabbas." [Now, Barabbas was an insurrectionist].

Today, "they" are the pinheads supporting Trump, King of the Narcissists...


Listen to their brain-dead tongues shouting, "Bring us Barabbas (i.e., Trump)!!  He's our man!!"











But, of course, he LOVES being Barabbas [Hitler, too]; he'd tell us to just deal with it!






The wonder of Good Friday is that the victor lies vanquished by the vanquished one. We have to look deeper into the very heart and essence of things before we can see how real the victory is that thus hides itself under the guise of defeat.
·         . Phillips Brooks

You don't have to believe in Christianity to identify evil, correct?

Trump should put a photo up of Malaria's face while she grunting during her daily dump. Everyone can take an unflattering picture.

'BOUT TIME THIS WAS SAID!!

“Trump seems to know he’s a loser. His embarrassing insecurities are on parade: petty bullying, attacks on women, cheap racism, and flagrant narcissism.”






“Many of history’s worst authoritarians started out as losers – and Trump is a serious threat. The way I see it, it’s our job to make sure he ends this campaign every bit the loser that he started it,” [Elizabeth] Warren concluded.

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD...



... and thank you Lawrence O'Donnell
for airing this:

“Please stop it with voting for Trump,” Lewis C.K. writes. “It was funny for a little while. But the guy is Hitler. And by that I mean that we are being Germany in the ’30s. Do you think they saw the sh-t coming? Hitler was just some hilarious and refreshing dude with a weird comb-over who would say anything at all.”


If you are a true conservative. Don’t vote for Trump. He is not one of you. He is one of him. Everything you have heard him say that you liked, if you look hard enough you will see that he one day said the exact opposite. He is playing you.”
C.K. added, “Trump is not your best. He’s the worst of all of us. He’s a symptom to a problem that is very real. But don’t vote for your own cancer".
 "You’re better than that.”


So, what did Americans think of Hitler when they first met him in the 1920s and 1930s? Some of them burst out laughing at his shrill voice and jerky hand movements and refused to take him seriously.
However, some of the first people who met him did take him quite seriously. Truman Smith, who was a junior military attaché in the 1920s, came away from meeting Hitler and said, "This is a marvelous demagogue who can really inspire loyalty." It was the same with Karl von Wiegand, a Hearst correspondent who was the first American journalist to interview Hitler back in 1922. He was struck by Hitler's oratorical skills and his ability to whip people into a frenzy.

O.K., Let's Be Honest Here...


I Mean Really; Let's Be Honest Here...

YOU

 WERE

EMASCULATED, DONNIE-BOY!!!



[ i.e., Rubio jokes that Trump may have wet his pants during the last debate ].



You can deny it all you want...

 




Rubio Suggests Trump Wet His Pants On Debate Stage:


"The Florida senator, clearly buoyed by knocking

 Trump off balance, repeatedly called the billionaire

 businessman a “con artist” on Friday: first on the

morning shows and then at a Dallas rally, where he

 had the crowd chuckling over his latest barbs".






Piss-pants Trump is not presidential material... no way in hell!!  He's an embarrassment to himself [and to his family, too, but the kids want to stay in his will, so they keep their traps shut!!!]
                     ************************
If you're not turned off yet, please read this frightening piece I came across:


 Mentored In The Evil Art Of Manipulation, Donald Trump Learned From The Ultimate Master : Roy Cohn


Sen. Joseph McCarthy was such an effective tormentor of the innocent that his name became synonymous with character assassination. In today’s parlance, however, Roy Cohn might say that McCarthy suffered simply because he refused to be politically correct.
Disgraced alongside his boss, Cohn departed Washington for his hometown of New York City where he became the ultimate political fixer and a terror in his own right. If you needed a favor, or wanted to hurt an enemy, Cohn could do the job. He talked like a make-believe mobster and counted real ones among his clients.
Having spent years under the shadow of ethics complaints, Roy Cohn lost his license to practice law in 1986, just before he died of HIV/AIDS, a diagnosis he vehemently denied. A gay Jewish man who spewed anti-Semitic, homophobic and racist remarks, he was actually quite charming in his own way and cultivated many friends. Among them were gossip columnists (like McCarthy, Cohn sought them out) and two men he mentored in the art of manipulation: Roger Stone and Donald Trump.
When Trump was still in his 20s, he hired Cohn and began to move in the very same social circles. Both were members of Le Club, a private hot spot where the rich and famous [and social climbers alike] could meet without suffering the presence of ordinary people. Later, when Studio 54 served the glitter and cocaine crowd, Cohn and Trump were there too. Cohn nurtured a style for Trump that was one part friendly gossip and one part menace. Cohn looked and sounded like someone who could hurt you if you crossed him. Trump purposely kept a photo of the glowering Cohn so he could show it to those who might be chilled by the idea that this man was his personal lawyer.
It was Cohn who introduced Trump to a young political operator named Roger Stone in 1979. Stone had cut his teeth in the Nixon campaign of 1972 where he posed as a student socialist who donated to an opponent and then made the contribution public. The fake scandal helped scuttle antiwar congressman Rep. Pete McCloskey’s presidential bid and ensured that Nixon was around to give America three more years of a disastrous war and Watergate.
Brilliant and perpetually aggressive—“attack, attack, attack” is his motto—Stone teamed up with Trump to create an ersatz presidential bid in 1987, and the two have been political partners ever since. Like Cohn, Stone is a risk-taker. He and Trump got caught breaking campaign rules as they fought the development of Indian casinos; state officials levied a hefty fine. Stone counsels clients to constantly “Admit nothing, deny everything, launch a counterattack.” He once told a reporter that it was his practice to always, “Get even.” “When somebody screws you,” he added, “screw ‘em back—but a lot harder.”
Trump’s version of the Stone credo, as he told me, is to “hit back 10 times harder” whenever he feels attacked. Like McCarthy and Cohn and Stone, Trump loves to gossip and trade in information. He. too, cultivates an air of menace to keep his opponents off-guard and he hates to ever apologize, or back down. And, just like Cohn, he insists that the kind of talk his critics consider offensive is really just the truth expressed without the social amenities. This is an ingenious tactic for someone who wants to be free to say almost anything, even if it’s insulting, and get away with it !
Much of what Trump says and does comes straight out of the Cohn/Stone playbook, including his eagerness to make people both uncomfortable and confused. As a campaign consultant, Stone advises candidates to open multiple battlefronts, and as a source for reporters, he often mystifies anyone who seeks to understand what he’s up to. For his part, Trump is a man prone to outrageous statements that defy fact-checking; our fascination with him surely stems, at least in part, from the delightful challenge of trying to figure out when he’s serious and when he’s putting us on.
The current state of the Stone-Trump relationship is puzzling indeed. Stone has earned substantial sums for Trump and has always seemed to lurk behind the scenes in his political life. However, his outrageousness can seem like a liability and in 2008 Trump told Jeffrey Toobin of the New Yorker, “Roger is a stone-cold loser.” He also complained that Stone “always tries taking credit for things he never did.”



MY NOTE: Is this not the pot calling the kettle black ?!?

Trump additionally told me that he finds it easy to cut off those who displease him and that none of those who are banished ever return. Given this stand, it may seem strange that Trump welcomed Stone back into his political circle prior to announcing his candidacy for the GOP nomination. The reunion was short-lived, however, as the Trump campaign fired Stone in August with an announcement that said he was promoting himself too much. However, Stone insists he resigned before he was fired and he has continued to stump for Trump in the media. He is, much like The Donald, a true descendant of the McCarthy/Cohn line and perhaps as impossible to fully disown as a member of the family.



The 'take away' here is that Trump will con you and con you and then

 con you some more...DON'T BE CONNED !


[I HOPE YOU'RE NOT THAT STUPID!!!] 

Are you?


Still not convinced...read on


SO... IS OMAROSA A SOCIOPATH TOO?

She heartily supports Trump and you know what they say about "birds of a feather" !!

READ THIS: Michael Clarke Duncan [MCD] and his family have questions about Omarosa Manigault ... specifically, whether the late actor's fiancée unduly influenced him into re-writing his will months before he died and leaving almost everything to her. Judy Duncan, Michael's sister, said that she's hired a lawyer to investigate the circumstances surrounding the change to the actor's will in April 2012, making Omarosa the main beneficiary. 

Judy believes MCD was not of sound mind when he made the changes ... because as early as December 2011, the actor was not himself, slurring words and stumbling around. Judy says her suspicions about Omarosa intensified when MCD was hospitalized following his heart attack ... telling us Omarosa was fixated on MCD's money when he was on life support. Another thorn in Judy's side ... Omarosa has already sold a bunch of MCD's personal effects (watches, cars, his "Green Mile" director's chair, awards, etc.).  Judy says Omarosa sold her late brother's personal stuff without the family's knowledge ... and she's p****d.


I believe she's very adept at playing the American people for suckers, as well. There's obviously something in it for her!!

Now, will everyone please just
STOP
listening to dishonest people!!!!

Honestly, the difference in brain-power and speaking talents between Trump and Romney is gargantuan. I have to admit that Romney has now earned his bone fides and truly appears 'presidential';* Trump lacks the requisite strength of character to be president. PERIOD!!!  I am also convinced he's bipolar the way he rambles on in such a manic, disjointed, and discombobulated manner.

MY RX: Verbal dysentery; BiPD.    Yikes!!!!

* P.S. Yes, I would vote for him despite the fact that I tend to vote Democratic and voted twice for Obama.


..."For all the talk of 'populism', one of the reasons that Trump’s campaign is such a hit with rage-fueled, resentful and not (just a little) racist white people, is that his nearly-iconic, wealthy, white privilege is actually 'aspirational' to huge swaths of Americans".

"Trump’s sons are such pitch-perfect preening preps that they read as unsubtle satire rather than real people. Both of them are dead ringers for Christian Bale’s serial killer character in 'American Psycho'.  And while The Donald has a certain comic timing that makes his prep school bully routine rather funny, both of his sons are not so blessed, laying bare the grotesque soul-rot that happens when mediocre white men have enough wealth and privilege that they’re fooled into thinking they are actually something special".
