Because that is just how he is, I never know whether to click 'like' (because I like that it was posted), laugh, angry or sad, because I feel all those things.

And if enough people responded, all four have been used.

Laughter is great for enabling us to survive this emotionally, but we can't just block out the anger and the pain and live in a happy bubble when the world is crumbling around us.

These are hard times.

The paper towel tosser.

fine combination when opposing greedy, sexist, racist white male oppression. I love her destroying the self love of these clowns in power... speaks truth to power, unflinchingly.

and revel in my enjoyment of her lambasting the people of the current administration AND WH staff, especially the news spokesperson. Speaks Truth to power. Then I get sad again. November 2018, I hope is the beginnings of the shutting down of power now in the hands of depraved, unprincipled, repugnant people with a licentious, evil and wicked potus. I still think he beat up melania badly and that's why she is out of the public eye.

GOTV

someone who would be or end up in such a position as his.

politicians from both parties have been hit hard but they are able to laugh at themselves through most of it. and even in cases where it might "cross a line" they usually wont be angry but more uncomfortable.

but Trump was raging mad when Obama and seth meyers joked about him. you can see how angry he was.

compare that to other people . maybe they might shake their heads and roll their eyes or something but not the pissed off seething mad reaction that he had.

and we have seen it other times also .

because they don't get the jokes. The hubbub over Michelle Wolf's WHCD bit was that she called out Huckabee Sanders for lying and the media for going along with the lies, both facts challenge the elites. These are indeed dark times. Like many others, laughter helped me survive Vietnam and the subsequent years following the war. At some point the laughter stops and we have to get serious about addressing the issues at hand.
The best ways to reignite The Enlightenment the Repubics have marginalized is to encourage education (free four years of college tuition) and vote the bastards out of office.

a Republican with a sense of humor.

...they have a mean streak, and think that is the same thing."

trump is lacking in the intelligent part.

Of course, the "joke" is always at someone else's expense. Any joke made in which he's the butt of is unforgivable. I believe deep down that the only reason (aside from the potential to strip the financial coffers of the U.S. treasury) he even ran for this office was to "show" President Obama he could be do better and as payback for the press correspondents' roast a few years back.

They just don't get them.

trump completely loses it in public - red faced, bellowing, ranting, and spitting - all to be captured on camera in living color as they drag him away and put him in a padded wagon! You KNOW it's coming...that day that he's totally off the rails and nothing or no-one can hold him back. Perhaps the day they take away his bottom hamburger bun? LOL

Humor should comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.

But right-wingers think that liberals are humorless because we don't like their sexist, racist, bigoted "Jokes".

I mean he's on the spectrum of autism.

Seriously, and I've never heard anyone say this.

but I think he's a fugging lunatic on steroids. I also think he's been out of control for most of his life.

that would be a characteristic of someone with Autism spectrum disorder.

I learn a lot on DU

Nothing at all like someone with autism, and it's insulting to suggest that.

He's a narcissist, pure and simple. He glories in bullying people. Autistic people aren't bullies.

From http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/375258-trump-jokes-about-bald-spot-at-cpac :

the bald head had been publicly exposed when he was climbing the aircraft stairs.

They LOVE fried chicken, watermelon and welfare “jokes.” Or one about how all liberals have a “mental disorder.” Or mimicking a disabled person. Or anything derogatory about Muslims.

*Everything* they find funny is cruel and at the expense of someone else (read: not white and Christian).

hysterically funny to hear of someone else being beaten or spanked.
