Have you ever ridiculed/mimicked/insulted a handicapped person? What do you think of those who do? Why?

Hello Rosie:

If the citizens of this great nation are united about ONE thing, it's that we DON'T ridicule the handicapped..   What he did CANNOT be explained away, and that's why I've never heard his supporters try...  In the end, I think it will be his undoing.

 Did you see the gal in the wheelchair give her moving speech excon? What better proof is there than that all people are valuable/worthwhile/sigificant? Thank you for your reply! :) ((hugs))

Really? Well I guess you'd have to be part of that group to accept it as fun and games and ok. Thank you for your answer Step and Happy Friday!  :)

No, I have not.

I, myself am handicapped and have heard the names that are thrown around. TBH, the people who throw these names are more handicapped in their mindset and I feel sorry for these people.

" In the end, I think it will be his undoing."

As it should be.  This man is not fit to run a K-mart, let alone the entire country.

Certain people are cruel and there is no excuse for their words.  

I am over 5 years old .  That's why I don't. 

 I read the full story about Rump. His friend, the handicapped newsman, laughed it up with Rump about some past event. Rump and he are old buddies. The media took it all out of context. The Media is having lots of fun with Donald.

When I was young and stupid I did so (I don't have explicit memories, but I'm sure I was idiot enough to do it).

As an adult, I've poked fun at myself and Bromide's cat (and mildly mocked Nellie as a "special needs" beagle).

He scares the bejesus outta me Pea Pod. What's even more frightening are those who believe he will "save" America. They scare me even more because there are so many of them.Thank you for your reply and Happy Saturday! :)

 I don't know if you have seen the clip of Trump mimicking a reporter who has some kind of condition that causes him to shake. The Dems have a really good ad  showing  Trump saying the disgusting things he is noted for adn also  mimicking the reporter. We are all handicapped to one degree or another. Some are handicapped emotionally and they are ones who do the most damage to others. Mental handicaps like hate and racism also do much damage. I am unaware of any person who is physically handicapped ever harming anyone or damaging anyone or trying to destroy anyone. Trump is handicapped in every way possible.  Maybe not physically but certainly morally, spiritually, emotionally and intellectually. He shows it every single time he opens his mouth.  Thank you for your reply and Happy Saturday SA. I always very much appreciate hearing from "the horse's mouth" so to speak. Hearing from people who experience what I write about. It is authentic and  someones opinion is never as good as the experience of one who has "been there". ((hugs))

Precisely! Even young children know better. Thank you for your reply Sharonna and Happy Saturday! :)

 You read about it but did not see it? You are a Trump fan I expect since here you are defending him for bad behavior. You are not alone. Millions just like you do the same thing. Thank you for your reply bh and Happy Saturday.

Me too. Nope, never and it is mean and cruel and ignorant and  stupid. Sadly there are a lot of people who are all those things PLS.  One of them is Donald Trump. Thank you for your reply and Happy Saturday! :)

That surprises me but children don't know any better. Actually that is not true. Many children are kind and know better without being told. But those days are behind you. Mahalo for your reply OS and Happy Saturday! :)

 Hi excon. Did you watch Lawrence O'Donnell last night? His guests were the parents of the Muslim American hero about whom Hillary spoke . It was a wonderful interview although very difficult for the parents.  Mr. Kahn was the one who offered to let Trump borrow his copy of the Constitution. He was the one who said to Trump directly "You have sacrificed nothing and lost no one". He was the one who asked if Trump had ever visited Arlington National Cemetery and read the names of the fallen?. All faiths, ethnicities, genders. I think he was the highlight of the Convention. Anyway Happy Saturday m'dear!  :)
