Trump The Skeptics Nemesis

I can see all kinds of reasons for #never Trump. He is a racist, narcissistic, bully, with no qualifications for the office of president. He confuses the office of president with that of king. He thinks toture, killing the families of terrorists, and deployment of nucleus weapons are good ideas. He objects to wind generated power because it's aesthetically unpleasing. He is womanizer who promotes the carreers of beautiful women and thinks the less than beautiful should not hold power. I could go on. . . But what I find I objectionable, is that he doesn't even care what the facts are or what the truth is.
He was the birther of all birthers.
He accused Cruz's father of having a hand in shooting JFK.
He promises to reduce medicare spending on drugs by more than the entire U.S. spends on drugs
He claims unemployment is 42%.
He watches a video of himself saying something and denies he said it.
He says the picture of Hedi Cruz in the "a picture tells thousand words image wasn't unflattering.
He says Trump steaks, vodka, airlines are still viable business. He sells local meat with the local butchers name still on it at rallies to show the is Trump steak.
He changes his mind three times a day.
A vote for Trump is a vote to stick our heads in the sand and pretend we can ignore facts.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

Most of all he would drive America into the shitter at full speed. No offense, but I wouldn't mind as much, if the whole world wasn't on the line. If America's economy collapses, the global market would follow. And that's not good news from where I'm standing.
The intelligence quotient at the Oval Office would drop by about 200 notches if Trump were to win.

I wouldn't give a shit if it just affected the US, but as you say it affects everyone. But it unfortunately looks like he might be the next President.
But hey, at least he probably wouldn't interfere in Europes, specifically Britains business, like the current moron in the White House does.

The man has an allergy to the truth.
I think that he thinks if you just insist something is factual strongly enough, it automatically becomes fact.
Sadly, a large swath of our population is dumb enough to fall for his schtick.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

He isn't isolationist, he's pro U. S. domination. You think a man who would confiscate Mexican investment in the U.S. or impose a 45% tarriff on China won't interfer with Britain, think again.

Quote: A vote for Trump is a vote to stick our heads in the sand and pretend we can ignore facts.
Sadly that is the one thing that 'Murricans are still number one at doing.
Far too many dickheads hate facts the way a vampire hates sun light.
As Mencken said:
Quote:The men that American people admire most extravagantly are the most daring liars; the men they detest the most violently are those who try to tell them the truth.
If only Mencken were alive today. He could wallow in this one.
Quote:For it is the natural tendency of the ignorant to believe what is not true. In order to overcome that tendency it is not sufficient to exhibit the true; it is also necessary to expose and denounce the false.
Even exposing and denouncing doesn't work with Drumpftards.

The world economy will take a major hit this year but it won't have anything to do with Trump. It's already collapsing. 52% of republican voters and over 70% negative perception with the U.S. as a whole makes Trump less popular than Romney. A land slide in his favor seems unlikely. But for the fact that Hillary is Hillary, I would project a democratic landslide.
Let's hear it for those rapist drug dealing hispanics whom are working damned hard for minimum wage taking down 100 foot trees in my neighbor's yard. Oh yeah, they're really hard working law abiding men.
And let's hear it for the black men shot by police for being brown drivers.
But mostly, let's hear it for the facts.
