Someone wisely posted that Jr chose Skittles becuse there are no brown ones. M&Ms include brown :)

Who is this Jason Miller, anyway, and why is he allowed to be anywhere near a keyboard?

That's a difficult comparison, because Bill was/is a far better politician (in the classic charismatic, glad-handing, rousing speech kind of way) than Hillary has ever been. She is too much the guarded introvert for most Americans' comfort. But I think that's why she will be a far better president than Bill was.

Three random Skittles! Just like if we took in a boatload of German Jewish refugees, three of them might have been secret Nazi spies who were so fanatic about their hatred of Jews that they were willing to sneak into America to do spying on us, but were also totally okay with spending days on end crammed into a boat with a bunch of Jewish people!. And also the proportion is EXACTLY right--three in EVERY TWENTY MUSLIMS is a poisonous vermin who will poison you just like the Jews poisoned Germany! Only we thought the Germans were bad guys for thinking that, of course.

I really don't think so. But you DO make a good point about Trayvon Martin, and I DO think that's why those fuckwits chose Skittles. A dog whistle. Assholes.

Nah. We don't want to satisfy their crusade fantasies or run afoul of commenting rules.

I feel a little trashy for using it so often, but my aunt was recently murdered in her own home, by her husband, with a gun we didn't even know was in the house.

I don't need whatever derka-derka foreign dushman Trump and his try to conjure. There's monsters around us, they look just like you and me, and nobody seems to care.

I heard somewhere (Rachel Maddow? I'm going to say Rachel Maddow, because she's the best) that the entire UK election season for Prime Minister lasted only 35 days. Compare that to the US, where it seems to take at least a year or two, possibly starting from the previous presidential election.

The picture of that little shellshocked child makes my heart hurt. And you know what? Donald Trump and his heirs, assigns and minions can all go eat a ton of extra, extra salted rat dicks for every Syrian man, woman, and child who has died as a result of this mess we helped to make, and wash it all down with a gallon or two of Dead Sea water.

Wait, the guy who took that photo was himself a refugee?

I am so sorry for your loss! My cousin's husband was murdered in his own home by an intruder who grabbed my cousin's husband's gun from his hand and used it on him. So much for self defense.

My sympathy. And citing your aunt's murder isn't trashy; it's personalizing. Bring it up as often as you damn well please.

I googled him not long ago because I wanted to make sure this wasn't Trump Jr posing as John Miller's son.

He is real, and he's been horrible at least since college, when WaPo first came across him:https://www.washingtonpost....

A Roomba vacuum cleaner has more humanity than Donald Jr.
