Skittles.  By all means, more racism please.

It's kind of breathtaking, really.

He just compared human beings to candy, and did so completely seriously and with zero appreciation at how incredibly..I don't know - inhumane? it is. That doesn't even really begin to describe how horrible such a comparison is...

While I certainly appreciate your ability be sarcastic when you want to be a dick and drive a point you consider irrelevant over a cliff, considering the well-worn prevalence of the Skittles meme in the Trayvon Martin shooting (#LOLDeadNiggerStorage) it's just more alt-right inside joke silliness. 
I guess somebody couldn't photoshop Pepe in a turban fast enough or something.

I don't actually care whether or not they are trying to be racist, covertly or otherwise, nor am I trying to be sarcastic.

It is incredibly horrible even if they are not being racist at all, even if Skittles just means Skittles.

My main concern isn't Trump himself. He's a vain buffoon who could be easily herded around as long as you talk his language (the way his current campaign staff have figured out how to control him) . He just wants to wave his hands around and fly in Air Force One like a little kid. I don't begrudge him that :lol:

It's the people around him, some of whom he'll choose and others he may not, that bother me. I have a feeling they'll be some outright hateful morons who will take roost in the Executive branch, create little fiefdoms, and rule like kings without much coordination or strategy, and really fuck shit up for the rest of us trying to just muddle through 4 years of Trumptopia.

Corruption, so much corruption! So much you wouldn't believe. You'll be begging us to stop, there will be so much corruption!

So basically, he would be our Kaiser Willy. :P

Just curious, and I know actual facts don't matter in the slightest, but has there been a single actual example of a Syrian Refugee carrying out a terrorist attack in North America?  :hmm:

Sometimes a Skittle is just a Skittle.

I cannot imagine why people don't buy your "I don't support Trump!" claims...

Polls show Clinton slightly recovering despite Islamist terrorist attacks. I'd call that good news. :)

Surely polls won't have been able to incorporate that yet.

If he claimed he would start a dreadnaught building program, half of Languish would promptly switch to his camp.  :lol:

not yet.  So far, there seems to be more attacks by anti-abortion nuts than other groups.
