I hate the guy but don't really like using real, devastating neurological diseases as an insult. It seems much more likely that he's just trying to make his suit hang in a more flattering way.

[–] [email protected] 99 points 9 months ago (3 children)

using a devastating neurological diseases as an insult, is wrong, but using it a a reason that he shouldn't run a country is fair. Also, is he trying to make his Poor judgement, Loss of Empathy, Socially Inappropriate Behavior, Lack of Inhibition, Inability to Concentrate or Plan, Frequent Abrupt Mood Changers, Speech Difficulties, and Memory Loss hang in a more flattering way?

I don’t necessarily disagree but you also run the risk of distracting from the most dangerous part about him. He is a fascist, that is what is wildly dangerous about him and as much as it is fun to make fun of fascists for being dumbshits, it isn’t a lack of mental capacity that leads to fascism. Those two things are perpendicular and as tempting as it is to equate fascism with stupidity the far more terrifying truth is that it only really equates with ignorance.

As long as we are arguing about the various reasons he is unfit to serve, I’m good.

If it's a disease he's suffering from, which is not something I'm confident of. The image above chooses a particular representation of the posture caused by the disease that happens to match, but it is far from a fully representative expression of that symptom. The behavioral symptoms listed are likewise picked specifically for their fitness to Trump, and a brief search doesn't show any descriptions of the disease that go into that much detail about the associated behavioral issues. That's all to say, it's a meme, not a fact.

fair. Also, is he trying to make his Poor judgement, Loss of Empathy, Socially Inappropriate Behavior, Lack of Inhibition, Inability to Concentrate or Plan, Frequent Abrupt Mood Changers, Speech Difficulties, and Memory Loss hang in a more flattering way?

All perfectly valid reasons to deem him unfit for office, so why make up more? This and comments on his (or anyone's) appearance only distract from the multitude of very valid issues with him. I mean you only need a video of him speaking to see that he vomits verbal diarrhea at every opportunity and only cares about himself, why do we need to assign it to some malady?

Were I to believe that most people spreading this actually thought he had some form of dementia, then fine, that's a valid reason to call him unfit. But I don't believe that, and it sets a poor precedent going forward to call attention away from his open bigotry and genuinely horrific policies to bring up these invented illnesses that aren't actually going to change anyone's mind. It only serves as an insult to make people who already dislike him feel better and give his supporters and fence-sitters more reason to ignore factually founded opposition. Look forward to this for every election.

I mean all you really have to do is post quotes right from the horse's mouth. If those don't speak to his issues, nothing will.

Don't forget when Romney got beat. Romney, hey. Did you see his? I wonder if he enjoyed his flight in last night. But when Romney got beaten, you know, he stands up like you're more typical, "Well, I'd like to congratulate the victor." The victor? Who is the victor, Mitt? "I'd like to congratulate." They don't go and look at the facts. No, I don't know. He got, he got slaughtered. Probably, maybe it was OK, maybe it was. But that's what happened.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

All of those things you described are the reasons why he shouldn't run the country. Why bring illness into it?

[–] Cypher 4 points 9 months ago

hurr just point out the laundry list of symptoms instead of the scary medical words

[–] [email protected] 31 points 9 months ago

It isn't an insult when you are actually non-ironically worried that the person might have it.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

I don't think it's meant in an insulting way, I think the guy really has a long list of identifiable / identified mental issues, and dementia? Yeah, I'll believe it to be in the realm of possibilities from what I've seen.

He's also a straight up asshole that deserves to burn in hell for eternity, but that is a different issue

[–] [email protected] 69 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Or ol’ Donnie knows his shrivelled up dick is extremely well protected by his overhanging belly.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 9 months ago

Ummm… it’s a little mushroom, thank you very much.

[–] [email protected] 67 points 9 months ago (2 children)

You know, for a party that is extremely anti-LGBTQ, the Republicans spend an awfully long time talking about penises.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 9 months ago

And anal sex. I’ve heard way more about man on man anal sex from republicans than I have from my numerous gay friends who are also chronic oversharers.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

Everyone is a kind of gay, but only conservatives are denied exploring those feelings so it presents in odd way like this.

[–] [email protected] 66 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Huh, dickhead confirmed

[–] Cheems 57 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Republicans spend hours analyzing cocks and say they are based and alphas. I do it and they ask me to leave the library.

The key is to do that research with your pants on.

Did Trump steal that coat from a toddler?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago

Nah. That’s his. He’s the toddler.

[–] RestrictedAccount 43 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Donnie’s gut is so big, if he clasped his hands they wouldn’t go below his belly button.

[–] ChicoSuave 20 points 9 months ago

Yeah, Trump stands like that because if he tried to cross his arms or hold his hands it would show how enormous his gut is.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Trump doesn't have cock confidence either.

He just can't fold his tiny hands together since he is so fat.

They are both standing next to what we think could have been a three-thousand year old space-witch. I would say Obama is cock-precautious and Trump is cock-foolish.

[–] UnhingedFridge 7 points 9 months ago

Heh, foolhardy.

[–] adam_y 25 points 9 months ago (1 children)

By that logic the queen has gut shame.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

I'm sure the rabid dogs of the conservative movement consider women feeling shame desirable.

[–] xantoxis 22 points 9 months ago

We have firsthand accounts that Trump has a little weird dick, but being obscenely proud of the most mundane and unimpressive "accomplishments" is very on brand for him.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 9 months ago (3 children)

You think people actually believe this shit

[–] ZombieMantis 20 points 9 months ago

Unfortunately, yes.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 9 months ago

Very much yes.

If people believe crystals heal, the earth is flat, and Epstein killed himself, I can 100% see people believing this especially since it says nice things about Mango Mussolini.

[–] Phegan 5 points 9 months ago
[–] stress_headache 16 points 9 months ago

It's because he's too fat to stand like that.

[–] dumpsterlid 15 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

If I was standing next to a disposed dictator from possibly the most brutal modern empire who was not overthrown but instead given control over a massive amount of real estate and just let free to do whatever they want as a filthy rich person… I would protect my balls too you don’t know what someone unhinged like that is going to do and you KNOW there isn’t going to be consequences for them so more than anyone else in the world they have zero fear about going for a nut kick.

Besides the whole English royalty thing is such a lame game of Simon says where rich insular people copy the aesthetics of other rich insular people to accrue more power, it is just like high school, so there could easily be a “Royal Nutcracker” that royalty does when men are around them with their balls uncovered and nobody would bat an eye, not the British public, not the news media, not British politicians… they would all just sigh and say “That’s our queen!” and laugh at you as you reeled in pain.

Are you implying the queen was trans?

[–] dumpsterlid 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

If I was I sure as hell hope that an intersectional feminist would slap me upside the face and point out that it is impossible for a person who is trans to be the Queen Of England without being an extremely problematic figure from the perspective of LGTBQ+ people and people fighting colonialism in general (which includes feminism inherently hence the intersectionality).

They would also point out that just using “they” instead of “he or she” does no great injustice to people who identify as one of the two accepted status quo genders because it gets people to immediately retort that a heterosexual person in a position of power was not gendered immediately in discussion and instead referred to with the pronoun “they”, which naturally leads to an opportunity to point out how creepy the structure of the english language is with it’s obsession to immediately box people and identities into male or female.

As a final point I would like to point out that any given trans person who identifies as a Queen is automatically cooler than the Queen Of England. If the trans person can create dope ass baked goods they are automatically 2x as cooler. If they can skateboard too than the effect is exponential leading to a minimum 8x coolness multiplier.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

The joke was that your first paragraph could just as easily be describing Trump as the queen:

✅Deposed dictator of most brutal modern empire

✅Was not overthrown

✅Was given control over a massive amount of real estate

✅Free to do whatever they want as a filthy rich person

✅Could assault strangers genitals and face zero consequences

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

The queen is allowed to use the royal We, to speak for the entire population of the country, then clearly the plural they is used here not the singular they.
