It is very chilling

how this creature called Donald is out there concerning himself with bullying his way to a Nobel Peace Prize, by waging war. All the while he has inflicted pain and misery on people who are not doing anything wrong except living while brown.

And yet, he wants to show up a Black man who won one, so despite the fact that he has no claim upon any measure of compassion, reflection, or knowledge of peace, he thinks he can manipulate his way to force the Nobel Committee to award him one.

I may compose a letter and send it off, detailing my disgust at his nomination. It'll make me feel better. Trump is conducting a purge of our country a la Hitler in his day. He doesn't deserve any prize except maybe the Tweedledum Prize of Moral Decay.

You know that when he was in military school, they had to remove him from a post because he was so cruel to his lower classmates, yet he worked his way up the system anyway. He does not have anything but trained cruelty and coldness in him, and he is not capable of being anything other than what he is. His behavior has been consistent from when he was a child, and yet he is so practiced at projecting a certain persona, here he sits able to work his way into a dictatorship, inflicting cruelty upon our defenseless population.

There is nothing good about this man, right down to his paving over the WH rose garden. And, he's not going to stop. Gaza, Iran, they're just idle games to him, something to while away the hours as he emotionally stimulates himself. When he's done with Iran, he'll start on another country. You can put it on your bingo card.

He is very dangerous.

I have been saying this for quite some time.

Many here thought he was harmless because he is stupid.

Yes but he has a street smarts and animal cunning.
And he is dangerous.

He's always been a vicious, ruthless psychopath.

And now he's surrounced himself with other
vicious, ruthless psychopaths.

Earlier I asked why the USA has so many of these...

and I think I answered my question with our history:

one of slavery and genocide and classist oppression.

It is a crime syndicate, not a political party.

Yes all of America's worst traits, the dark underbelly of the US, is now in the forefront.

white people first came here.

But as you say it's now in the forefront, and we have to
come to terms with the underlying fascism that has always
been part of our collective unconscious.

We thought we put it behind us with the Civil War.
But in the end, the enemy never left and came back with a vengeance.

Our original sin has now metastisized
into all seven deadlys...

and we have also traveled through
all nine circles of hell, the last being,
of course, treachery -- just after fraud.

13. I keep thinking about the nine circles of hell too.

It always seemed like hyperbole and over the top metaphor.

Now we know it is quite accurate when evil takes over.
And we are only a few months into the horror show.
It will get much worse.

For Trump to believe he is now eligible for it,
demonstrates his mental illness to a greater degree
than probably anything else he has done..... SO FAR....
