Response to a Trumpeter on Facebook

[prarie deem]

One of my old high school friends posted a meme about Trump and one of his supporters jumped down her throat drooling and babbling in their usual moronic way. Some one I don't know posted this response and I absolutely loved it. I thought some of you all might appreciate it as well:

"Bill Clinton cheats on his wife. Impeach him. Trump proudly brags about sexual assault (and has cheated on his wives). Elect him. Hillary oversaw the department of state while 4 people died in an embassy attack. Put her in jail. 2 Republicans were in office while over 200 people died in embassy attacks. No problem. Immigrants don't pay taxes. Round them up and kick them out. Trump doesn't pay taxes. He's a business genius. Hillary's foundation only spent 87% of their donations helping people. She's a crook. Trumps foundation paid off his debts, bought sculptures of him, and made political donations to avoid investigations while using less than 5% of funds for charity (and he got shut down by NY State). So savvy... Put him in the white house. Trump made 4 billion dollars in 40 years, when an index fund started at the same time with the same "small loans" he received would be worth $12 billion today... without a trail of bankruptcies, thousands of lawsuits and burned small business owners. He's a real business whiz. Hillary took a loss of $700k. She's a criminal. Trump is the first candidate in the modern era not to release his tax returns, and took a billion dollar loss in 1 year. Genius. Hillary takes responsibility for private email servers and apologizes. Not credible. Trump denies saying things (on the record) he actually said (on the record), he's just telling it like it is.

Your arguments are thin. Your ignorance of reality is shocking. Your double-standards are offensive, and your willingness to blindly support him and recycle the rhetoric is absurd. Your opinion is not fact. Your memes are not news articles. And your hypocrisy is not a platform."

That's a beautiful response--the kind a person wishes he'd written.

3. A better example than the Embassy ones would be

the Beirut Marine Corps bombing. Casper Weinberger is on record saying he told Reagan not to put the troops there. Weinberger's butt should have been in a chair testifying for 11 hours.

27. Hear, hear!!

[radical noodle]

4. I love it too

Whoever wrote this should copyright it and sell it to all Hillary supporters on Facebook. I pretty much had the nonsense stopped on my newsfeed, but after this last week or so, the pro Trump posts are gaining in numbers.

5. Thoughts Kelso?

6. I know - right?

I thought it was just the perfect way to respond to those morons. They are so dumbfounded when you confront them with a fact, the only response I ever get is "but what about Hillary? I should not take the bait on Facebook I know - but I just cannot let those stupid lies go unchallenged in a public forum.

[mountain grammy]

7. Bravo!

[Warpy]

8. Your old high school friend isn't stupid

and I applaud her pluck in trying to answer a moron.

I've given up, there's not much you can do with someone who is all wrapped up in a cult of personality. So I'm more likely to respond with a yawn and "Oh, piss off. Just piss off."

[Feeling the Bern]

10. Usually, I just say my middle finger likes you and walk away.

Sometimes, like I did yesterday, I will try if I believe they are still reachable. But most are just hopeless.

[GoneOffShore]

42. I have several responses

In no particular order:

In the immortal words of Wolfgang Pauli:
"Das ist nicht nur nicht richtig, es ist nicht einmal falsch! "
"That is not only not right, it is not even wrong!"

You're just another "Liar for Jeebus" - Hey - I can look into your eyes and see straight to the back of your head. I was going to write a whole cited response to let you know how wrong you are on every level, but realized it would be futile. So, just for fun, I'll knowingly resort to an ad hominem attack, which is much more satisfying - You're an idiot - And ultimately, believing ridiculous things for ridiculous reasons will always rot your judgment and lead to swallowing tripe like religion, the Republican Party platform and Donald TrumPutin's lies.

Stop posting egregious crap. Delete your account.

It always astounds me that a woman would countenance the Bronze Age notions that the overwhelming majority of Republicans happily endorse. They only look at you as second class citizens. Otherwise equal pay would be universal in this country. Otherwise there would not be a war on Planned Parenthood which is a war against women. They want to keep you barefoot and pregnant.

Oh, and I'm about to add 'Quisling' to the list of potted responses.

Kudos to that poster.

14. Welcome to DU, prairie deem!

Thanks for sharing this! It's really terrific! Great "ammo" for shutting down their deplorableness.

17. Buh bye.

[silverweb]

18. Wow!

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]Do you think your friend would mind if I "borrowed" that to respond (if I must) to a relative who keeps harassing me with offensive pro-Trump/anti-Hillary crap? I usually just ignore him, but may reach a breaking point and want an impenetrable put-down - and your friend has written it.

[appleannie1]

20. Was wondering the same thing.

[appleannie1]

19. The best response I have heard so far.

[Cakes488]

22. I do the same thing to the Trumpass FB supporters but I keep it brief...they are not the sharpest

tools in the shed, but they are in fact tools. The level of hypocrisy is BEYOND so it's very easy to ding em.

[LittleGirl]

23. I've seen this post

at least 20 times in the past 24 hrs so it's viral now. I don't know who wrote it originally.

[klook]

24. Excellent. And if they keep frothing about Benghazi, remind them

of the top 10 embassy attacks during Republican administrations.

[TonyPDX]

25. Wow! Wall-to-wall truth. Thanks for sharing.

[mgardener]

26. And

There is no cure for stupidity. So sorry.

28. Concise and to scathing.

[TiredTexan]

31. Bush administration "lost" 22 million emails

housed on the Republican National Committee's server relevant to Iraq war and U.S. Attorney firing scandals. No investigation, radio silence from Republicans. Clinton loses 30,000 emails not relevant to anything and she should be thrown in jail.

32. Fabulous! I have given up, but this might just put it all in perspective for anyone undecided.

33. BEEEEEEEEYOOTIFUL! nt

[mnhtnbb]

34. That is just great.

Really.

[Glaisne]

35. Sums it up perfectly.

Should be sent to the letter to editor of every paper in the country.

[CatWoman]

36. this is great stuff!!!

mind if I share on my FB page?

[LiberalLovinLug]

37. Powerful!

I may just steal that if I may.

[Doc Holliday]

38. I'm not stealing this....

...I'm relocating it for more effective utilization.

[prarie deem]

39. Just to clarify

my friend did not write it. It was someone commenting who I do not know at all so I cannot speak for the original writer But it is on a public forum and I shared it, so I don't think there is a problem with other people sharing it. Heck I would have it printed on a T shirt if I thought Trumpeters could actually read.

And calimary - I have been a member for a while but I seldom post. You would likely not know that so I thank you for your kind welcome. I very much appreciate it.

44. I agree, but

The Clinton Campaign needs to get back to campaigning on the issues and platform. This wall to wall Trump disparaging, even though he deserves it, will not win the Presidency.
I think it will drive people to Johnson and Stein.
Many, right or wrong, see Clinton as living in a Glass House. Throwing stones is not a her best idea.
Just sayin'.

[BobTheSubgenius]

45. That's a nice command of the language, and

some good writing skills right there.

[Hulk]

46. Love it. Sent it to my oldest sister...

...a fox ignoramous. Will probably piss her off and she won't read the entire email, but I did my part to educate the buffoon.
