Just Kidding!
Remember that time when Donald Trump committed treason by encouraging a foreign government to hack United States emails?
He was just kidding. And it only took him 24 hours to come up with that excuse because he’s brilliant, and a YUGE genius.
And you know how Trump keeps saying that he has no financial investments in Russia? Yeah, but that doesn’t mean that powerful Russians don’t have investments in him.
After last night, Trump’s Twitter addiction seems to have fallen victim to crickets. He’s still going with the whole doom and despair thing.
GOPers have previous. Remember the slow-roll hostage release arranged by St. Reagan’s henchmen?
1Traitor Trump. And he’s proud of how he will sell the country out.
2I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Donnie’s whole personality and modus operandi are that of a 17 year old bully. When confronted with their a**holish picking on somebody what do they say? Come on! can’t you take a joke? I was just kidding! Thereby reinforcing the idea that he can say or do anything with no consequences. I really am looking forward to the debates. I wouldn’t be surprised though if he tries to weasel out of them, saying some BS about how he doesn’t want to have to be mean to a little woman. If they do go forward though, I think she’s gonna chew him up and spit him out.
3Drumpf is loyal to Drumpf and only to Drumpf.
4Another example of his abject stupidity and hypocrisy.
5TreasonTraitorTrump thinks the world hangs on his words.
He could end up hanging by them.
While watching that wonderful Obama video before his speech I was struck by how many images there were of Obama interacting happily, kindly with children. Of course, that made me remember all the images from throughout the years of HRC with children. Then it hit me, have there been any images of the orange guy with children? I didn’t watch the RNC (delicate stomach) but has he ever mentioned his grandchildren or been seen with them? I’m asking seriously. Has anyone seen any images or heard any mentions? Pretty odd, isn’t it?
6Of course it was a joke, because the Trumpster is so well known for his sense of humor.
7You know what my first thought was, when I heard about the Russian hack? “Thank goodness Hillary used a private server!” Our nation’s email servers are well known for their hackability. And the DNC apparently uses the same technology.
And then there’s this from the article:
“The emails showed officials criticizing Bernie Sanders during his primary campaign against Hillary Clinton, a time when the DNC claimed it was neutral in the race.”
Hello? I don’t know what criticisms were in the emails specifically but I do know this: I was an ardent Bernie supporter and _I_ criticized him when I thought he deserved it. And people in the DNC did too. So?
Some folks in the DNC suggested ways to sabotage his campaign AND NO ONE DID IT. That’s what matters.
8For the GOP this year the downside of rolling out their typical hate-and-fear approach is that what we fear most is a Trump Presidency.
Re Trump, when people cannot tell when you are being sarcastic it may be time to examine your style of rhetoric.
I’m not sure if Trump is running for President or for Commissar.
9Oh, and here’s another quote from the linked article:
“He was joking around,” former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, a Trump surrogate, said on CNN’s “New Day.” “If he tells you I’m joking, you take him at his word.”
Yeah, like the students of Trump U took him at his word. Only then, he didn’t say, “I’m joking.” He said, “I’ll give you a GREAT education! The greatest!” I wonder when he plans to say, “I was only joking,” about that.
10Now the Orange One is saying it was SARCASM … a sarcastic joke! He’s a sarcastic joke!!
Yes, Baby Boomer, Trump paraded ALL of his children and the grandchildren and the wife across the RNC stage! His adult children spoke on his behalf, as did the little woman!! They had it splattered all over the Internet and on the TV. I don’t know how you could have missed it!!
11Stolen (’cause I can’ spell Plagerising) from the ’63 campaign, I recall “In your guts, you know he’s nuts!”
12gabberflasted, I think another variation on Goldwater’s “In your heart, you know he’s right” (besides “Yes, extreme right”) was “In your heart, you know he might.” Back then it meant “drop the bomb,” and now it may well mean the same thing.
13Here’s how Trump and his campaign treat children!

14Then it hit me, have there been any images of the orange guy with children?

15Sorry I got the wrong link.
16IMO, out of all the recent dictators and political strongmen (of the 20-21st century), the one that Trump most resembles and would prove to govern like, is good ol’ Papa Doc Duvalier of Haiti.
“Papa Donnie Drumpf” has a nice ring to it, no?
Like Hitler, maybe in ambitions, except Papa Donnie and his innermost circle of minions just don’t have the smarts and drive the scummie little perverse paperhanger had.
Nor is he even in the same league with his BFF Vlad Putin (Putin’s got Papa Donnie sized up just like he did with Dumbya W: as an abject knave, easily manipulated). (and at least those monsters actually served their nation’s military, also, too; unlike any of the Trumps)
And Papa Donnie even has a ready-made “Tonton Macoute” in the present-day form of the Rethug “Teabaggers/Party” minions drooling to do his bidding. (and the B/W equivalence is intentional)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papa_Doc_Duvalier
And for nepotistic continuity when he croaks, Papa Donnie has several “Baby Docs” waiting (M&F), just waiting for their gilded chance (or gelded…).
And if you look into the Papa Doc Wiki section- [Personality cult and Vodou], hotdiggidty, you find what just might be the inspiration for that famous Dr. Ben Carson ‘Jesus’ picture on the wall of his modest abode:
17“The regime’s propaganda stated that “Papa Doc was one with the [loa], Jesus Christ and God himself”.[11] The most celebrated image from the time shows a standing Jesus Christ with a hand on the shoulder of a seated Papa Doc, captioned, “I have chosen him”.[31]”
Man, would I like to find a copy of that poster.
Except JC didn’t choose catatonic ol’ Dr. Ben(T), pity.
.
“C’mon, it was just a joke” is the closest Trump will ever come to an apology or a take back. And said with a straight face, starting directly into the camera.
Imagine the outcome when he tries using that delightful, dry sense of humor on other world leaders, especially during sensitive negotiations.
Okay, that thing I just said there? About Trump’s sense of humor? THAT was sarcasm.
18While in college, I hung out too much in the Green Room of the theater. We were a snarky, sarcastic group… but fun. One day, a newcomer tried a snark bomb and it blew up in his face — sounded like a mean insult. Someone said, “Sarcasm is an art form. You should learn it before you use it.”
How true. How true.
19The only reason the Trump Campaign is now claiming it was a “joke” is because the comment drew condemnation from foreign policy experts on both sides of the political aisle and revealed that Trump isn’t above encouraging a foreign government to hack the computers of his political opponents if it benefits him in some way. I’m not buying that it was a joke because if one is running for POTUS, it seems that s/he would know that there are some things one does NOT make jokes about.
20Yes Marcia, et al, I know his ADULT children are everywhere. They were practically the only, ahem, character witnesses, except for Scott Baio. What I’m pointing out is that there are no images of him relating to small children and certainly no candid shots taken for propaganda or not. On the other hand, I wouldn’t any child to touch his hair. Most politicians, whether they’re good with children or not, at least go through the motions, i.e. Jindal, Cruz. As proven by his own self, the orange guy hasn’t a clue about humor or sarcasm. Imagine him reading to kindergarteners. Or don’t, it’s too sickening.
21Of course he meant what he said. Since he doesn’t have the decency and maturity to apologize for anything, he does what he does best. He lies.
22Doesn’t Drumpf have his own flag yet?
23So when is the congressional investigation on Trump being an agent for a foreign power. He’s been financed by Russians for thirty years. Now Putin wants a return on his investment.
