I forget, do we have a general HurricaneDitka Pit thread?

Speaking of Hurricane: These dolts keep whining “We’re sentient humans too; treat us with a little respect and we can have intelligent dialog.” In the thread I just cited Hurricane’s comments included

• “You want him impeached for being unprofessional?”
• “[Trump’s] nature is a bit direct and brash, so it’s wouldn’t be entirely unsurprising or out of character for him.”
• I suspect Durbin was more interested in the political harm it would cause Trump than the international harm it would cause America. One might even say he put “party before country”.
• “I think most politicians lie, prevaricate, obfuscate, exaggerate, etc and that Trump, at least in that way, is a very typical politician.”
• “I already believe he behaves like a typical politician”

Does this sound like a man who thinks Trump is despicable? If I were a right-winger who despised that fraudster I might write “Of course I detest the man but I’m delighted we have an R in the Oval.” Not Hurricane. He wouldn’t even concede that Trump is a worse human than Hillary.

We’re here to fight ignorance, so I invited him to educate himself about Trump U. “Is it important?” he asked. Not unless it would bother you that a detestable man is in the White House. He goaded me into wasting more and more time and finally wrote

@HurricaneDitka

But, to get at (what I think is) the heart of the matter, I didn’t think much of Trump’s character before I learned that the “textbooks” at Trump U were photocopies or the teaching staff was of low quality. He’s on his third marriage, is dishonest and mean-spirited, etc. Not someone I’d want to hang out with, not someone I’d trust to be alone around my wife / daughter, and not someone I’d pay huge sums of money to learn their real estate tricks and tips. I don’t even want to spend the money to buy his book or the time to read it. Whatever the details of Trump U are seem unlikely to substantially alter that assessment. Does that make sense why it does not seem very interesting or important to me?

My response was

@septimus

IOW, your opinion of the fraudster’s character and life story is about the same as your opinion about Hillary Clinton. Got it.

If you already knew he was a massive fraudster (or planned on pretending to have already known) you could have saved us much time.

No sense my Googling for the credible evidence that Trump is a child rapist. Hillary allegedly ran child sex slaves out of a pizza parlor and the patriot who showed up to rescue them wasn’t even allowed in the basement. Neither Trump nor Clinton was convicted, so, again, Same-same. Got it.

I have more respect for imbeciles like Shodan and Starving Artist. My friend has a lovely daughter with Down’s Syndrome, who has a kind and beautiful disposition. But she doesn’t live in America. It’s sad how stupid people develop twisted beliefs in today’s America through no fault of their own. But Hurricane probably has average-plus intelligence and still believes (or pretends to believe) that Hillary’s confusion about sniper-fire and silencers makes her the moral equivalent of a criminal child rapist and con man. :smack:

I tried to give him a chance. But now I join in this Pitting.
