However, the New Testament most certainly does reiterate and uphold the present prohibition of homosexuality.” So no stoning…yet. ---

> [@jsc1953](#): > > I also absolutely don’t believe Trump likes Romney. Quite the contrary…he probably wishes Romney had caught Ebola. Was Trump’s tweet too subtle for you :dubious: Maybe you don’t know the backstory. The point is, Trump heard some of the blowback regarding his previous apparent relish at the thought of Romney being in quarantine. So he’s directly addressing that. The tweet is what a 5-year old would write, after Mommy told him to tell his brother he doesn’t _really_ wish he was dead. “He’s ugly and smells but I don’t wish his big stupid face was dead”. I mean, genuinely. Just switch in a couple of words like “senator” and you’re done. ---

This isn’t a great fit for this thread, but it doesn’t fit anywhere else, either, and it’s certainly not worth a whole thread, so… Why the hell doesn’t Trump have a valet equivalent??? Okay, maybe he’d have to give him a different title (Personal assistant maybe?) but someone devoted to making his physical appearance look closer to the human norm? I mean, all those closeup photos showing a half inch of pasty pink skin between the sharp edge of his fake tan and his hair line, the clear rings around his eye where the goggles(?) protect his eyes – that has to be because he’s slapping/spraying the stuff on himself, right? There have got to be hundreds of makeup artists in California alone, some of them not currently at work. Get one and have it done _right_. As a bonus he could teach the guy how to construct his hair do. And maybe he’d eventually trust the valet enough to believe him when he says the too long ties and baggy outfits really, really don’t make him look one pound thinner. ---

He can do sarcasm though. The original comment about Romney in the press briefing was sarcastic, and so was the tweet. ---

Because he’s the _best_ at personal grooming there ever was. Jack Dawn took lessons from _him_ and Hollywood yet today is using products and techniques he developed to make their leading men more… leady and their ho-hum actesses look hawt. Just the other day Melania came up to him with tears in her eyes saying, “Sir, I just don’t know what to do with this mascara. Could you please show me how to look beautiful?” ---

> [@DesertDog](#): > > Because he’s the _best_ at personal grooming there ever was. \ Yeah, you’re probably right. The thing is, there’s probably no reasonable hope he’d stop embarrassing the country by acting like a buffoon, but it would be relatively easy for him to stop looking like one, too. ---

I want him to keep looking more and more ridiculous every day. I want more buffoonery and embarrassment-- for us, since he doesn’t have the sense to be embarrassed for himself. I want him to start drooling in public, sniffing, blinking, running his hands constantly through his hair, wiping his face obsessively with his hanky, and (God help us) leaving his fly unzipped. (No worries about anything poking out – too shriveled). I want the public Dorian Gray to look exactly like his portrait. ---

Looking like this, as ridiculous as you and I and so many other people think he does, nevertheless made him a reality-TV star and President of the United States. I don’t think he sees any need _whatsoever_ to change his ways. ---

There have got to be hundreds of makeup artists in California alone, some of them not currently at work. Get one and have it done _right_. This just occurred to me. The jerk is screwing with us. The only reason he has that orange tint is because, as brain-dead as he is, even he realizes that coming out in blackface is not acceptable and will screw him five ways from Sunday (not that he knows why Sunday is a special day in American culture). So, he’s got orangeface. And he’s laughing inside while the rest of us are crying outside. ---
