we all have our private moments performing personal tasks which are not the most, shall we say, appetizing and tasteful behaviors, but are necessary for survival. These include but are not limited to: wiping ourselves, showering and removing all that secretion and perspiration from our private areas, cleaning out our noses of mucus, both soft and hardened, draining pimples or small boils or even seborrheic cysts which might occur, removing whatever that is that collects under your toenails, and the like.
So of course I had a vision of Baron Golfin von Fatfuk needing to do each of these things but having a strange response to the need to perform such tasks, by way of explanation: sane, relatively normal and adequately adjusted individuals "downshift" and perform each of these acts almost rituallistically without giving any of them too much thought. Of course, witnessing a stranger performing them is often perceived as horrific or inappropriate if managed publically, but for the most part, people execute these without giving much thought while doing so and usually no thought thereafter, they are a necessity of life.
But I was thinking about your present resident of the White House: my guess is that he does not do well with these kinds of things; that he is queasy and sick about some necessities. Did you ever think what a germophobe might do in wiping him or herself after a bowel movement? Do they wear gloves? Do they use Lysol afterwards? Do they utilize an intermediate instrument so that their hands and fingers are nowhere near their anus? Enquiring minds want to KNOW! I was thinking about Eddie Murphy's character in Comoing to America wherein after relieving himself the Wipers are called in to finish the job. Yes I know this is disgusting but we have been subjected to such psychiatric ills, that I've taken a page from these guys and will state that THERE IS NO FLOOR for ridicule.
Many years ago during the Vietnam War, my mother, who was militantly anti Vietnam War (but not a pacifist) despised this woman down the block who had on her Ford automobile a bumpersticker which read "Better Dead than Red" and had two sons in the military. The feeling was mutual: she despised our family for our liberal (read: Communist) views. Anyway, this lady and her husband lost one of her sons in the War. My mother, after that day, never said a bad word about her ever again, and you must understand, my mother was militant and took no prisoners politically. She told me that in America, if someone loses a child in the Service, then hands off them personally: that they have and always will suffer with that, that you don't pile on.
So when the "Marmalade Shartcannon" went after the Gold Star family, I knew there was no floor because one of the few constants in America is the nearly-universal acknowledgement that military loss of life is acutely and forever tragic for the family of the deceased. That is why nothing surprises me or makes me wonder if we've hit bottom There is no bottom.
I will say King Tut is not looking well lately: he seems to have an ashen look about him and there's been a qualitative change in his skin texture and tone. Just saying...

(26,260 posts)Probably his, too. How does someone with his level of delusional vanity deal with that thinning, dyed candy floss that decreasingly oozes out of his hair follicles? There must be someone in charge of restructuring but does that happen before or after the application of the orange spray painting of his face. Unless he has removed all mirrors from his bath and bedrooms, he has to encounter that, every single day.
Unless, of course, he has a case of reverse, body dysmorphia. I can fully believe that he might just look in the mirror and see the visage of Paul Newman smiling back at him.

(58,785 posts)a fastidious conceit, part of viewing himself as superior to others. Even when wallowing like a pig.
This just happened to remind me that Campaigning required him to start going outside a lot more. But when he first started he bragged at length that he almost never went outside, avoided it whenever he could, which with his wealth he could do a lot. Whatever that was about, undoubtedly to Ol Bone spurs it signified more of his superiority over others.

(9,721 posts)An unlimited supply of fast food burgers, kernels of fried chicken, three...no...four people continually telling him his poll numbers really do suck, Kim sending him a love letter with him drawn as a dotard, really anything to take his stress level to the upper level of his tolerance, nothing but the best of all the above.
Then in a couple weeks...maybe months...Im kinda patient... I want to open a news reader and see the headline Ive been waiting to see for a couple years...

(9,426 posts)useless "kids" facing a jury for all their crimes. No way should he finish his term and get a pension funded by the government (us). Most useless president, if not human being this country has ever had the misfortune to suffer under. By the way, someone has to do the wiping for him, his arms can not reach around that far. My guess is either Mulvaney, Leningrad Lindsey, or Eric t.

(43,049 posts)what he's done.
I want to see him forced to see what a horrible life he has led, and how he has screwed up the nation as badly as he has screwed up his own companies. He will never admit he was wrong, but the shaming has to have some effect.
And I want his enablers and supporters to feel the pain.
Death, at this point, would get him a state funeral and all is forgotten or forgiven. Let him know the fear of death in prison.

(43,049 posts)feel the shame, something about it will hurt him somewhere. Maybe taking his money. Maybe taking his microphone. Or both.
And we as a nation cannot let him get away with this and must show we are disgraced by him.
littlemissmartypants
(22,655 posts)The best thing we can do is ridicule him. Everything else is fuel for the sociopath/psychopath ego. Everything.
Showing we are disgraced also means that he wins. He thrives on pain and chaos. Ridicule is really our only meaningful weapon against him. I think it would be naive to think we can take away his microphone. That ship has sailed.
If we could completely ignore him that would be perfect. If his followers would turn on him that would be a start. The only real tool we have against him is ridicule and it still gives him what he wants, when we do that.
Ignoring him and denying his existence are both good starts, but how do you convince others to do that when outrage and agitation are so contagious and addictive?
Laughing at his every word and deed may sound difficult but ridicule is your only possibly effective tool against a sociopath/ psychopath. Even that has potential to feed the ego. They are just such sick and twisted bastards.
TreasonousBastard
(43,049 posts)he did something outrageous on a slow news day to get himself noticed again.
I never met him, but he had been looming over my life for years. When I got out of the Army, my parents had moved across the street from the Trump mansion. Not the house on Devonshire Rd that's been mentioned, but the big one on Midland Parkway. Nobody ever talked to or about Fred, but my mother and others often ran into Mary at local functions and in the Daitch supermarket. Everyone liked Mary, it seems.
When the NY Post was bought by Murdoch, it replaced the Daily News and the Mirror as the local gossip rag. Page 6 was where the good stuff ran, and Donald was desperate to get on it. He always felt that he wasn't taken seriously by the other real estate families in NY, and his answer was to crash parties at Studio 54 to be seen. He still wasn't taken seriously, and that pissed him off.
NYC editors got daily calls from him complaining about why his accomplishments weren't properly covered. Or, he would have a new "accomplishment" to brag about. Cub reporters often rushed into the city editor's office with some great scoop, and the editor would take one look and say "Trump again. Forget about that bullshit." Reporters learned fast to hang up on Trump. That's why he often called using a phony name.
Every time he blew a deal or went broke, there were headlines about him screwing up. Didn't stop him, though, and he barged on into another bad deal. It finally stopped when he ran out of lenders and the ones he had looked at the books and said it would cost them more if he went bankrupt, so they let him stay in business, but wouldn't let him sign any checks, and put him on a budget.
All of this was public, and he was the laughing stock of the NYC real estate and financial powers. When it was all over and he became the first person in history to go broke owning a casino, he still didn't go away, though, and constantly bragged about the one thing he actually did right-- fixing the Central Park ice skating rink.
So, he puts his name on a book someone else wrote, gets a TV show, and reinvents himself again as a commercial genius.
Sorry if this is a little long, but it could be five times as long and still wouldn't cover everything. My point is that even ridicule doesn't get through to him.
The ultimate punishment for him may be to lock him away in his own Tower of London on 5th Ave with no phone or other communication out. Let him stew in his own juices as he gets mail addressed to 775 Barack Obama Ave.
littlemissmartypants
(22,655 posts)Now you have me interested.
I don't think I ever presupposed a result from ignoring him except for the one doing it.
The best thing we can do is ridicule him. Everything else is fuel for the sociopath/psychopath ego. Everything.
And I completely agree with you on the lack of possible positive outcome.
The only benefit is in the laughter itself to the person who exhibits it. We really are prisoners of his sickness any other way.
I am completely in agreement with you.
Now, tell me more...
TreasonousBastard
(43,049 posts)Before he went broke, he decided to make his bones renovating the historic Commodore Hotel, adjacent to Grand Central Terminal. He went into a wary partnership with Hyatt Hotels and the Grand Hyatt was born. I think it was called Trump Grand Hyatt for a while. Just for a while. Anyway, while he was going under with the Plaza and other hotels he bought and was ruining, he bragged that the Hyatt was making money. In fact, it was the only property he had that was making money-- Hyatt owned 51% and wouldn't let him near the checkbook or operations.
Still Trump was accused of illegally using his share of the business to try to cook the books and as collateral for other loans.
Moving right along, there was Trump Television City. The Penn Central Rail Yard on the upper west side of Manhattan was sitting there just waiting for some cash to come in and rescue it from the weeds. Long story short-- Trump came in with some grand plan to renovate the old ABC studios and build thousands of apartments, including a 135 story building. Needless to say, absolutely everyone hated the idea. If you had seen the 72nd St IRT station at the time, you would know where the hatred started. I used to use that station, and without another 30,000 people in the neighborhood it was overcrowded.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riverside_South,_Manhattan
Negotiations between Trump and Mayor Ed Koch about NBC's possible relocation to Television City devolved into name-calling.[26][27] Instead of giving tax breaks to Trump, as he had demanded, Koch gave tax breaks directly to NBC, allowing it to decide where to locate its studios.[12] In response, Trump called on Koch to resign, and Koch compared Trump to "a stuck pig."[26]
Trump actually believed there was a chance in hell for NBC to move from Rockefeller Center to Trumpland TV studios. At the same time, Hartz Mountain was also bidding for them to move to Secaucus, NJ, but didn't spend much time on it. They may have been hoping Trump would screw it up enough that they could sneak in, but who knows...
Anyway GE/NBC stayed at 30 Rock and Trump screamed to the heavens how stupid they were not to move in with him. Insiders say Trump must have known NBC was in the middle of lease renewal negotiations, so he was just a bargaining chip for NBC to get a better deal. Everyone else knew that.
If you haven't already, do a quick search on the Central Park Five and see Trump at his "best"

llmart
(15,536 posts)I don't want him to die. I want him to have a major episode in public so everyone else can see how deranged he is. I want public proof. I want the episode to be as embarrassing as possible. Payback for all the times he's ridiculed/mocked, etc. others.
I've said before that the best case scenario would be for him to blow a major stroke, have locked in syndrome so he can be aware of what's going on. I even wish for him to have many, many years in that condition. That would be karma.

Mc Mike
(9,114 posts)He never touches drugs or drink, he's a germophobe, he loves fast food.
Remember how li'l bush bought that photo-op ranch in Waco/Crawford, before he ran for prez? Then as soon as he was done being prez, he sold it and moved to Dallas.
He strikes me as the type who wallows in his own filth, and who thinks his bm's don't stink. He secretly eats fois gras at his zero star rich people clubs and faux fancy restaurants, then tells the peasants he loves good old American fast food, (and he's a self made billionaire.) He's obviously a druggie.
He likes to fool around with a wide variety of women, avoiding syphilis was his vietnam. Not exactly a germophobe.
PCIntern
(25,541 posts)everything he says is a proven lie so if he says that he's not using drugs or alcohol you can bet he's a veritable pillbox and swiller of low-class liquor. No question...

Sitting on his golden throne with trousers around his ankles, enjoying his bowel movement while tweeting his latest vile demagoguery, the cell phone slips through his tiny hands into the smelly swamp under his orange anus.
The malignant shartcannon gets up, spins around, trips over his ankle trousers, gets knocked unconscious by hitting his bloated head on the rim of his throne, then drowns in his own shit.
If you can come up with a more fitting end for this POtuS, I'd like to hear it.

(33,340 posts)Everything you envision, except:
1. The phone begins recording video as it hits the pile;
2. TrumPutin doesn't drown, but gets stuck, face in the shit, with one nostril clear;
3. The phone is uploading the video -live-,
4. and it goes viral globally;
5. Secret Service takes extra long clearing anyone to enter the room;
6. Plumbers, doctors and SS argue for hours over how to proceed with the rescue;
7. Fox carries it live while blaming Obama and Hillary, and the whole cult melts down.
