And yea, I mean there is always the Nazi comparisons (as I did have to go with for the title)....and for once unlike when people normally say shit is like the Nazi, these are apt and on point. But honestly even those are starting to lose their bite just a bit. Not to mention at some point the comparison between Trump and Nazis is going to get insulting......for the Nazis. So yea, I will not be comparing Donald Trump to Nazis in this blog, I had to do in in the headline because its more politically correct to make reference to Nazi and less likely to run me into censorship trouble than an accurate representation of the Republican Presidential Nominee
Now what earned him this title and distinction? Well unless you were living under a rock, you probably heard about the largest mass murder in american history this weekend when a gay night club in Orlando was shot up.
Now there are a couple of ways you can react to this. For example:
"Woke up to hear the devastating news from FL. As we wait for more information, my thoughts are with those affected by this horrific act"
or this:
"The Queen: "Prince Philip & I have been shocked by the events in Orlando. Our thoughts & prayers are with all those who have been affected""
or this:
We pray for those brutally attacked in Orlando. While we must learn more about the attacker, the victims & families will not be forgotten.
or this:
My prayers are with the victims’ families & all those affected by the shooting in Orlando. We will devote every resource available to assist
or this
Our prayers are with those injured and killed early this morning in horrifying act of terror in Orlando.
We pray for those brutally attacked in Orlando. While we must learn more about the attacker, the victims & families will not be forgotten.
or this:

or this
Our prayers are with those injured and killed early this morning in horrifying act of terror in Orlando.
Those are the reactions of Hillary Clinton, the Royal Family of England, Speaker Paul Ryan, FL Gov Rick Scott, and US senator from FL Marco Rubio. And while similar, those are all appropriate kinds of reactions.
And this is Donald Trump:
And this is Donald Trump:
"Appreciate the congrats for being right on radical Islamic terrorism, I don't want congrats, I want toughness & vigilance. We must be smart!"
Now that was on twitter....but lest you think Trump mistyped....this is from facebook
"“Because our leaders are weak, I said this was going to happen—and it is only going to get worse."
Now that was on twitter....but lest you think Trump mistyped....this is from facebook
"“Because our leaders are weak, I said this was going to happen—and it is only going to get worse."
That's right, Donald Trump's initial reaction to 50 people dying and 50+ more hospitalized was "hey look at how great that is for me....I look like a genius". Not say sympathy, compassion or understanding.....or any emotion associated with anything human.
And he doesnt even have the "defense" of this being a reply to another tweet. This lunatic actually assumed the american public's first thoughts after hearing about the shooting was. "man, look how right Trump was"
This isnt helped when it turns out that as far as "being right" Trump was well off the mark.
For starters the prediction he was refering to was that "at some point their will be another terrorist attack" Which is about as impressive a prediction as "at some point the sun will rise"
Then of course their is the rather inconvenient part where this seems to have been motivated by homophobia more than religon....so yea not so much the radical Islam thing.
But dont worry....Trump has a solution
“The immigration laws of the United States give the president powers to suspend entry into the country of any class of persons, I will suspend immigration from areas of the world where there is a proven history of terrorism against the United States, Europe or our allies, until we fully understand how to end these threats.”
Thats right, the Muslim immigration ban. Now how would that fix this problem? well back to Trump.
"The killer was born an Afghan, of Afghan parents who immigrated to the United States,"
Except for the part where the killer was born an American in Queens, New York....the same place as Donald Trump.
But the thing you have to understand about Trump in this case, when the only tools you have are a white hood and a rope, every problem looks like a lynching.
Now maybe you think thats a bit of an unfair characterization. After all Trump isnt calling for violence.....well about that:
"“People move into a house a block down the road, you know who’s going in. You can see and you report them to the local police. Most likely you’ll be wrong, but that’s OK. That’s the best way. Everybody’s their own cop in a way.”
Right see when black/brown people move into the neighborhood, you should call the cops on them for being brown....cause thats kinda suspicious. Luckily the cops have a great track record of not having issues with unarmed black or brown people.....just ask Akai Gurley, Rumain Brisbon, Walter Scott, Eric Garner, Kimani Gray, Amadou Diallo, Ousmane Zongo, Kendrec McDade, Sean Bell, Orlando Barlow, Aaron M. Campbell, Alonzo Ashley, Wendell Allen, James Brissette, Ronald Madison or Oscar Grant III....oh wait we cant....they are all dead....all shot (or killed) "accidentally" by cops.
And by the way.....its not JUST the killer Trump wants to go after. Again from his Facebook page:
"We need to know what the killer discussed with his relatives, parents, friends and associates.
We need to know if he was affiliated with any radical Mosques or radical activists and what, if any, is their immigration status.
We need to know if he travelled anywhere, and who he travelled with.
We need to make sure every single last person involved in this plan – including anyone who knew something but didn't tell us – is brought to justice.
If it can be proven that somebody had information about any attack, and did not give this information to authorities, they must serve prison time ."
See if you dont turn your neighbor over to the cops for being brown.....well you might have to go to prison if they told you anything about an attack.....anything....like maybe "hey I bought a new gun today"....which could be innocuous at the time....but then again, they are brown and guns are for the master race.
Also Trumps got a pretty good idea of which Brown people we should start with.
“[Obama] doesn’t get it or he gets it better than anybody understands. It’s one or the other, And either one is unacceptable.”
We’re led by a man who is a very – look, we’re led by a man that either is, is not tough, not smart, or he’s got something else in mind, And the something else in mind, you know, people can’t believe it. People cannot – they cannot believe that President Obama is acting the ways he acts and can’t even mention the words ‘radical Islamic terrorism.’ There’s something going on. It’s inconceivable.”
Yes that is Donald Trump implying the President of the United States may be working with ISIS and committing treason against the United States of America, by helping facilitate these attacks.
But believe it or not....Donald Trump is NOT the problem.
See everyone now knows Trump is a xenophobic sexist racist....and lots of republicans have decided they wont vote for him for president.
The problem is, those same republicans still plan on voting Republican on the rest of the ticket.
Which is a problem, because as a whole the Republican party doesnt actually seem to have a problem with Trump.
See heres what Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell had to say when confronted with the statements made by Trump above:
"Yeah, I'm not going to be commenting on presidential candidate today."
Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, said much the same, saying:
"I am not going to spend my time commenting about the ups and downs and the in-betweens of comments"
And they werent the only ones:
Senator Dan Coats said: "I am not going to comment on that at this particular point in time partly because I have been traveling and rushing around, I haven't read all of his comments, heard all his comments. In fairness, I want to think that through and read it before I make a comment so you'll have to ask somebody else."
Sen. Johnny Isakson said: "I didn't hear the speech I hate to comment on something I didn't hear."
Sen. Pat Toomey: "I didn't follow it closely,"
Sen. Roger Wicker “I'm not gonna make a career out of responding to every comment and every tweet”
Representative Rep. Mike Conaway: “I’m not going to be drawn into a debate on whatever it is Mr. Trump says, I’ve got my personal views on immigration, what we should do. You’ll have to talk to Mr. Trump about his.”
And he doesnt even have the "defense" of this being a reply to another tweet. This lunatic actually assumed the american public's first thoughts after hearing about the shooting was. "man, look how right Trump was"

Rep. Kristi Noem: “Aw, man. I’m not going to speak to that, I won’t give you an answer on that today.”
Rep Patrick McHenry: "I just left a conference dealing with a [Defense] appropriations bill. That's where I'm focused."
Senator Lamar Alexander decided to take a different tact, getting bent out of shape about word usage so as to deflect the question:
"We do not have a nominee until after the convention,"
But the best reply of all came from Senator Tim Scott said "You know...mmm" and then walked away.
Now I realize on the surface, these dont seem that bad, after all NONE of these people outright endorsed Trumps comments, unlike say Gov Christie who when asked for his reaction said he agreed and added "You've got to get over there and make them pay where they live, It is unacceptable to allow this type of stuff in our country and for us to not fight back, We've got to fight back." (Again, worth pointing out "where they live" in this case was the United States.....) or Florida Gov Rick Scott who suggested the way to prevent the violence in Orlando was to force all immigrants to register with and check in with local police. (Again the the shoot was done by an American).
But heres the thing, Scott and Christie at least have the courage of their twisted convictions......if you vote for them you know exactly what your getting. All those other politicians though, they dont want you know their position....and the problem is, there is only 2 reasons for that.
1) They agree with Trump and dont want you to know....so voting for them would be as bad as voting for trump cause youd be trading an open bigot for a closeted one.
2) They dont agree with Trump at all.....but think you do and are willing to do what they think you want. So voting for them will be interpreted by them as supporting Trumps ideas if not the messenger.
So yea, you cant vote for them either. In fact if your a republican who doesnt agree with Trump, you definitely CAN NOT vote straight ticket. Cause yea, Germany didnt elect Hitler...in fact he lost.....but the Nazi's did well enough to get him in power anyways a few years later.....cause people only turned on the messenger. Its the same issue here.
Now this does not mean you cant vote for ANY republican.....some of them have outright rejected Trump (notably Sens Graham and Murkowski, Rep Kinzinger, Govs Hogan and Kasich) so them you cant safely vote for. But yea, honestly if your a republican, you need to recognize the risk to your party....even defeating Trump now may not matter if you keep his Collaborators in office. One way or another you may wind up having to salute and say Sieg Heil Mein Fuhrer Trump
