A Political Snippet - Trump and AIPAC

It's not that he sounded reasonable while reading from the teleprompter, although he did, in a creepy sort of look-at-me way.

It's not that he blames Iran for everything except global warming.

It's not the megalomania on display; Mr. I'm-My-Own-Adviser just can't help himself. His narcissism is fed by the media beast, and my worry for him is only that his head might actually explode.

No, what's terrifying about Donald Trump's speech at AIPAC is the fact that people are applauding.  They are applauding loudly.  They are applauding after every sentence with a buzz word... and that's every sentence for the first ten minutes before we just had to turn it off.

The man who wants to deport millions and targets ethnic differences with scurrilous, venomous attacks, the man who asked his minions to raise their right hands in solidarity ... Jews are applauding this man.

It boggles the imagination.

  1. You know how I feel about this jerk. He's so freakin' scary and the violence at his events is going to end up with someone dead. He not only condones it, he encourages it. The allegiance pledge is REALLY scary. I cannot believe people are following this guy. He preys on all of their insecurities and doesn't care one iota about them. I though Elizabeth Warren's post yesterday about him being a loser was great. She nailed it and proved why he's a loser in the business world.

    I despair. :(

  2. I am scared. Really scared. I really don't "like" any of them. Who will I vote for. I don't even feel like one of them is the lesser of the evils.

    1. I don't trust Hillary, but I have come to terms with voting for a woman over a moron, even if she has no moral compass that I can discern. She doesn't terrify me any more than Nixon did.....

    1. And here in our red state, the vitriol is just below the surface.

  4. As a Hillary supporter, I would challenge you to examine this lack of trust thing. What is it based on? But then I just move on, because even though I have spent hours fact checking claims against Mrs. Clinton, it seems most people just want to believe every bad thing that has even been said about her. That's my despair.

  5. I keep wondering who those people are who support Trump.
