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 > [@What are your thoughts on my debate with this conservative regarding Trumps sh\*\*thole comment?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-are-your-thoughts-on-my-debate-with-this-conservative-regarding-trumps-sh-thole-comment/806605/110): > > 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 > [@What are your thoughts on my debate with this conservative regarding Trumps sh\*\*thole comment?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-are-your-thoughts-on-my-debate-with-this-conservative-regarding-trumps-sh-thole-comment/806605/111): > > IOW, your opinion of the fraudster’s character and life story is about the same as your opinion about [Hillary Clinton](https://clintonwhitehouse2.archives.gov/WH/EOP/First_Lady/html/HILLARY_Bio.html). 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. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-forget-do-we-have-a-general-hurricaneditka-pit-thread/805952)._
