"'A woman president?' Are you freaking kidding me?" . . . Please come CAPTION Donald Trump!!!!

[skip fox]

Donald ("Wives are great because they don't have to testify against you in court!&quot Trump is saying: "Don't get me wrong, I love women! . . I adore them. . . . But I also know women. . . . And if they haven't yet gone through menopause, watch out! A week every month, what can I say? . . . Do you want that finger on the button? . . . . And if they have gone through menopause, their thinking's no longer good. They're just no longer productive. . . . So believe me when I say, I love women, but . . . Well, . . .you know!"

2. I was juror #5. If the internet has taught us

anything it's that there are an alarming number of people who are sarcasm challenged.

3. yes, i noticed that comment...good one!

it seems to show that in clintonworld, everything really is about her. even a scathing satirical jab at an obviously misogynistic cretin named trump.

but its about hillary

4. I'm a Clinton supporter,that's an awful broad brush. nt

[restorefreedom]

6. based on some of the alerts i have seen, any comment even indirectly

possibly tangentially related seems to get an alert. many things which are not attacks on her are interpreted as such. more so than with the other candidates, it seems.

just my opinion from being on many juries.

5. My satire is always directed and well deserved.

Trump has recently made sexist comments about Hillary and I was going to reference those (as per my custom), but I wanted a bald showing of his sexism. As I have written before, as CAPTIONers we try to channel our subject's essence. I believe that if Trump thought he could get away with it, he'd strongly agree with the sentiment of the subject line in the original post.

The post was intended to point out his sexism, not to endorse it.

For those wanting a more discernible basis/influence, please see the following Huffington Post story:

7. it was clear that this was to show the scumbagness of trump

but i think there is a variety of sensitivity levels here in du....

8. Thanks for letting us see this.

I write a few CAPTIONs per week, all satirical and, I hope, intelligent (check out my folder), and I try to be sensitive to the language and images &c., but I never would have guessed this post to be disturbing. There were quotation marks around the "attributions" and the rest of the context signaled it as satire as well.

Maybe I should have had "hysterical finger"?

I wanted to show, as is obvious, that Trump- thinks of women totally in terms of their body and gauges their usefulness in terms of biological potential productivity. (But it's so boring explaining a joke. . . .)

9. I just realized what likely happened.

The person who object may well have thought the quote to be real. This happens quite often and I have to explain that the person was quite such an obvious cretin, wretch, war-monger, or whatever.

10. i like transparency when it comes to juries

the more we know, I think the better off we are.

some are just getting real touchy it seems, and i doubt it will get better before the primary is over.

it was an excellent piece of satire..i am glad it will stand!

11. Trump is saying:

"You know what I heard? 'Hysteria' comes from the Greek word for 'womb.' . . . Those guys were pretty smart, is all I'm saying."
