NBC fires Donald Trump over 'derogatory' remarks about Mexican people

Pretty much.

Now heā€™s free to join the cast of Duck Dynasty as their less-lovable City cousin.

As best I can tell, Trump is one of the rare cases of someone who was born a biological person; but who identifies as a corporate person. He has been preparing behaviorally for reassignment for some years now; but the necessary technology is not yet available.

Iā€™d laugh if it werenā€™t associating the horrific abomination and unclean mark on humanity that Trump is with decent trans people.

I would have liked to use words making it clear that Donald was a very, very, different flavor of ā€˜transā€™; but I couldnā€™t think of either a good neologism, or any currently used word.

Trump is a ā€˜trans personā€™ in roughly the same sense that a Liche is a ā€˜trans personā€™(born human, identifies as and eventually transitions to a powerful undead abomination).

Unfortunately, I couldnā€™t think of any way to shake the impression that Trump can best be described as effectively an analog of trans; but to corporate personhood, not a different gender or sex; but still a decent human; but I also couldnā€™t think of a snappy way of describing someone who seeks corporate personhood; because thatā€™s unfamiliar and deeply squicky even by my relatively latitudinarian standards.

Iā€™d associate trans people as a group with Trump even less than I associate transvestites as a group with J. Edgar Hoover(he, at least, was one; just markedly more despicable than most); but I just canā€™t think of a better way to describe what trump appears to be.

Ideas?

Iā€™ve always thought of Our Reptilian Overlords as more competent, subtle, and quietly sinister; but it could be that even reptoids have their boorish C-students.

Come on now, I was a C student. Donald Trump is D- who payed $150,000 to the principal to avoid an F.


ETA, seriously though, I canā€™t tell you why I hate Trump so much more than any number of people who have been so much more harmful to humanity.

Maybe itā€™s his infuriating arrogance, mixed in with his being right on the edge of being too stupid to consent to a contract? Likeā€¦ Iā€™m pretty sure if he were convicted of a crime and given the death penalty, heā€™d be able to successfully demonstrate that he doesnā€™t understand why heā€™s being executed, or what an execution means for him.

An Exxman?

I like the correspondence with ā€œExxonā€, a made-up corporate name designed to avoid human associations:

The company initially planned to change its name to ā€œExonā€, in keeping with the four-letter format of Enco and Esso. However, during the planning process, it was noted that James Exon was the governor of Nebraska. Renaming the company after a sitting governor seemed ill-advised, and the second ā€œxā€ was added to the new name and logo.

Maybe it should be ā€œExxmonā€ to avoid a gender association.

He isnā€™t in it to win. Trump is a personality. He is basically advertising himself. The fact that anyone lets this idiot waste anyoneā€™s time with his idiot stunts is the real news. If anything, it is kind of sad. He is going to kick out some random no-name candidate from having a spot in the debates so he can self advertise. Who knows, that no-name candidate might have been some moderate Republican who wasnā€™t a complete nut who, if given a little exposure, might have won in the field of bumbling idiots and nuts that as they all self destructed.

Donā€™t listen to the nay-sayers, Donald!! Never give in! Donā€™t trust them!!

Weā€™re laughing with you, not at you!

Actually, weā€™re laughing at you as well. Mostly at you, in fact.

Weā€™re laughing at you. Thatā€™s pretty much it. Yeah, weā€™re laughing at you.

Well, in part, I donā€™t actually hate him more, I just donā€™t treat hate as a particularly limited resource.

In other part, itā€™s the arrogance, the hypocrisy, and the somehow-being-hailed-as-business-genius-despite-more-bankruptcies-than-you-can-shake-a-stick-at, many with lots of other peopleā€™s money going right down the drain.

Hagiography isnā€™t my favorite genre to begin with; and Trumpā€™s constant puffery is the manifestly dishonest kind, which is even less good. I recognize that numerous people are, as we speak, doing more egregious things to more people; but they just arenā€™t so damn visible about it.

I have the feeling if Trump actually ran a country, heā€™d end up exactly like Kim Jong Un/Il/whoever is the dear leader now.

Heā€™d probably put out press releases talking about how he never poops, but his urine is actually a literal golden shower more precious than the tears of baby seals or whatever. Then heā€™d have his press-people proclaim that he scored 18 holes in one during his first ever round of golf. Heā€™d execute his political enemies with anti-aircraft guns. Heā€™d gold-plate the white house. Heā€™d construct an obsidian monument to himself right next to the Washington monument, and make it twice as tall and cap it with bronze or something gold-looking, just to make it extra-ostentatious.

Heā€™s got this mix of justā€¦ Relentlessly awful, tacky taste which he seems to justify because itā€™s expensive. ā€œHey, how can it be bad tastes when it costs $500,000 to gold plate my Lexus?ā€, a belief that the only measure of happiness and success is how much money he has. The belief that money == unlimited power, and the constant self-aggrandizement.

Thereā€™s a lot of aspects to dislike about him, and heā€™s proud of them all.

I believe Trumpā€™s brain slug has a brain slug of its own. Hence the thatch.

Maybe itā€™s brain slugs all the way down.
