Octopus Overlords

El Guapo wrote:Is the fact that this thread is 3x as long as the Clinton thread part of the problem? Trump's a show, so he sucks up all of the media and cultural attention, which makes it difficult for opponents to get in any of their message. People wind up talking about Trump, not about anything that Clinton is proposing or might do as president.

Even his kids are trash.

Donald Trump Jr tweet: 'I'm a refugee' says Skittles photographer

"This was not done with my permission, I don't support his politics and I would never take his money to use it," Mr Kittos told the BBC.
"In 1974, when I was six-years old, I was a refugee from the Turkish occupation of Cyprus so I would never approve the use of this image against refugees."

Trump is potentially at his peak. He's showing blatant favoritism to FOX News, but can't hide from the debates, the few remaining investigatory journalists finding real dirt, and Trump's story arc has played out. Plus, hubris.

Anyone in the media who can puncture Trump's bubble will win many awards for journalism.

Blackhawk wrote:Trump needs a disaster. A big mistake at a debate, a collapse (even from something minor and new), a 'smoking gun' document getting released, something big. He isn't close enough to win as it is, but he's close enough to close if there is a Clinton stumble. If things are politics as usual for the next couple of months, though, he's doomed.

Not that it matters. He could teach John Gotti a thing or two bout Teflon.

What a mealy-mouthed shit-talker. She's a spin master.

"Are the other skittles human lives?"

"What?"

"Like. Is there a good chance. A really good chance. I would be saving someone from a war zone and probably their life if I ate a skittle?"

"Well sure. But the point-"

"I would eat the skittles."

"Ok-well the point is-"

"I would GORGE myself on skittles. I would eat every single fucking skittle I could find. I would STUFF myself with skittles. And when I found the poison skittle and died I would make sure to leave behind a legacy of children and of friends who also ate skittle after skittle until there were no skittles to be eaten. And each person who found the poison skittle we would weep for. We would weep for their loss, for their sacrifice, and for the fact that they did not let themselves succumb to fear but made the world a better place by eating skittles.

Because your REAL question...the one you hid behind a shitty little inaccurate, insensitive, dehumanizing racist little candy metaphor is, IS MY LIFE MORE IMPORTANT THAN THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF MEN, WOMEN, AND TERRIFIED CHILDREN...

... and what kind of monster would think the answer to that question... is yes?"

Even Mr. Fantastic would say that article is stretching things quite a bit. The original quote was evil all on its own. It doesn't need a trumped up Nazi ancestry to make it bad.
