In his head, he thinks he's a 'superman', 'god-emperor'. When he's just a tubby bald slob from Queens, who's a nazi, half a wiseguy, puppet o Putin.

Human beings can be nasty, sick fucks. It is a part of who we are. Why do we equate "humanity" with "goodness?" The history of our species does not support that equation. Denying the humanity of someone we despise is just a way of cutting off the parts of ourselves we don't like.

Garbage humans are still humans. Our species has produced a lot of truly beautiful individuals who did wonderful things. We've also produced a lot of trash who did the exact opposite. If we point to the best representatives of our species as evidence of our worth, we also have to bear the shame of the worst representatives who give strength to the argument that things might have been better off for our planet had we gone extinct long ago.

13. Wondering what this dipshit posted to defend Obama against all the blind racism and hatred.

Something tells me he wasn't around much for that. The "tell" is in the phrase, "I despise [Trump's] politics, BUT..."

No, no, sorry, but if you REALLY despise 45's politics, you **know** that he's EARNED every bit of the righteously angry crap that's thrown at him. No one could be more deserving.
