Donald Trump is in court again today, facing a civil trial that could cost him his business empire. Trump, his sons, and his company stand accused of falsely inflating property value prices in order to obtain favorable loans.

@realcaseyrollins

Evil people who are cruel and abusive to other deserve to loose everything.

Trump is a man who has used his power to mock a crippled person, deny black people homes specifically and explicitly for being black, lied and stolen and cheated. When bad people loose it reminds me there is fairness in the world and that makes me happy.

@georgetakei

@freemo @georgetakei Interesting. I’m a bit surprised that you fell for the “mocking a crippled person” claim. The others I’m not familiar with except for the lying, which I agree with you on, though likely not to the same degree as you.

@realcaseyrollins

Willing to hear the counter argument for that.

When i saw the video he seemed to make motions that mocked the man and his specific disability (his motions were similar to that of the disabled man)... and it isnt motions he makes when he mocks or talks about other people...

Whats the counter argument?

Bear in mind even if we find excuses for 20% of what he does that still leaves the other 80% so I dont needt o rely on any one thing being true as long as most or some is true its enough for me to dislike him as a president and a business man.

@georgetakei

@realcaseyrollins

For reference here is a video of the clip of Trump and a picture of the disabled man. Keep in mind the reporter, as usual, is biased here, so best if we are going to question the account we ignore the reporters comments and stick to trumps...

That said, re-watching this it seems pretty clear he is mocking the reporters disability with his gestures.

@georgetakei

@freemo @realcaseyrollins @georgetakei
Is this the thing that makes him uniquely evil and deserving of total ruination?

@pressure @freemo @georgetakei He mentioned a whole bunch of other claims I didn’t feel like getting into because I know little about them. They seem like obscure accusations to me.

@realcaseyrollins

I love how these people jsut throw in adjectives to make shit sound like ther eis an issue... "uniquely" here.. he is evil, he is not unique.

@pressure @georgetakei

@freemo @pressure @georgetakei I’m not sure that I agree with that assessment either. I think he’s done good things most politicians wouldn’t do, and bad things most politicians wouldn’t do, and he most certainly says things most politicians wouldn’t do.

@realcaseyrollins yea but i never claimed he was **more** evil or uniquely evil.. He is just evil, other politicians are also evil

@freemo Hmm. Perhaps my bar for being evil is higher. I don’t think all politicians are evil.

Follow

@realcaseyrollins That is probably the case. I am particularly critical of peoples morality and I hold them to it as an objective measure (you dont get a pass just cause all your peers are evil).

To me I think its just so many politicians are evil we just go "ok thats allowed its the norm for politicians"... that doesnt fly with me.
