Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Disgusting Is The Only Word For It

 Trump vomited forth something unusually vile, even for him, in the wake of Rob and Michelle Reiner's murder. Seth Abramson makes an important point. Yes, everyone is right to see this as the fundamental brokenness within Trump's shriveled soul. When Trump heard that Reiner - a prominent critic of his - was killed, he assumed one of his supporters had done it, and then he basically blamed Reiner for it. If Reiner hadn't have been a Trump critic, he wouldn't have been killed, so basically it's his fault for not loving Trump enough.

Of course, it appears as if their disturbed son killed them, and Trump is - again - wrong. However, Trump knows in his bloated guts that his supporters are ready to commit violence on his behalf and he's willing to exonerate them. It's the same logic that has him pardoning crook after crook. As a crook himself, he wants to make sure everyone knows that being crooked is OK.

It is very sad that we have to share our brief time in the planet with this shitstain of a human being constantly dropping his pants and waving his withered hatred around. It's concerning, though, how quickly he excuses violence that he thinks we committed on his behalf.
