Life of Wry

Honestly…

That anyone on the republican side of the country takes this man seriously blows me away. (And I wince when I refer to him as a man when the truth is he’s a petulant boy who failed to launch and has lived his entire life in a bubble devoid of responsibility and accountability. Not to mention morals. There are third graders with a better sense of right and wrong.)

Oops, I digressed.

That any republican can look at that calendar — and all it represents — and still say, hell yeah, he’s my guy… well.. I find it nauseating. Period. You’ve lost all my respect. He’s an embarrassment and, more significantly, a danger to our country and the world. Period.

Some satisfying memes that speak to his depravity, lack of decency, lack of any human qualities…

And because her words are so much better than anything I can ever come up with… some choice snippets from Maureen Dowd’s August 26th column, “Catch the Smug Mug on That Thug”:

If there were any justice in the world, Donald Trump would have taken the Mug Shot of Dorian Gray.
As with Oscar Wilde’s charismatic and amoral narcissist, the Picture of Donald Trump should have been a “foul parody,” a reflection of what the chancer has done with his life. It should have shown Trump’s corroding soul rather than his truculent face.

It should have revealed a man so cynical and depraved that he is willing to smash our nation’s soul — our democracy — and destroy faith in our institutions. All this simply to avoid being called a loser.

But Trump is feral and cunning…

Trump has long felt that squinting or scowling is a good look for him. Timothy O’Brien, a Trump biographer, recalled that Trump once told him that Clint Eastwood was the greatest movie star ever, and O’Brien believed that Donald and Melania modeled their squints on Eastwood’s. Maggie Haberman noted in The Times that when Trump posed for his official White House portrait, he scowled into the camera and told aides he thought he looked “like Churchill.”

Trump told Newsmax’s Greg Kelly after the arraignment that he had “never heard the word ‘mug shot’” until his was taken — which just shows again that Trump is a pathological liar. Everyone in America has heard the term “mug shot.”
