Thread Name: BS: Rally round the Trump
Subject: RE: BS: Rally round the Trump
Shock insult politicians like Trump are imitated by other authoritarians. Suppose we lower ourselves to fight fire with fire?

Political feuds/roasts did have rules:

No child jokes but Trump recently broke this rule.
Jousts snubs and insults may include;
Age
Sex
Wife
Car
Hobbies
Drinking
intelligence
Eating too much
Archaic politics
mental stability
the faded jock
self destructive
narcisistic
delusional
man child
stagnant social climber
and
Mother in law

Perhaps 'he who does not want to be named' doesn't know how to play well when the jokes are on him. Its pretty simple to play.
Start with a fact then go for your opponent, such as...

"Light travels faster than sound. This is why (name) appears bright until you hear him speak."


It seems Democratic politicians today can't play this stupid but effective game.
