Well, it's just an anology.

A poor one at that.

So you don't think that Donald literally believes the Syrian refugees are skittles?

Re: Donald Trump Jr compares Syrian refugees to Skittles

Uday Hussein, huh? So he's a torturer, rapist, and murderer?

Way to go with that retarded hyperbole, breh.

Hopefully not.

Hopefully not.

Won't you be surprised when it comes out that Donald has never heard of analogies or metaphors.

Eh. Dumb picture but it gets the point accross. Much more acceptable than calling millions of people "baskets of deplorables"

The point being that since murderers are human we should get rid of humans.....?

Not a skittle:

Oh, please. Tell us what is WRONG with that analogy? We are so screwed.

What a ridiculous flight of malignant rhetorical fancy. :3oops:

It's a very Trumpian point: sorta true while robbing the circumstance it's highlighting of all of its seriousness and complexity.

Much more acceptable than calling millions of people "baskets of deplorables"

That's debatable.

You're right, because when I see the happy primary and secondary colors of a bowlful of sugary snacks, I envision the humanitarian nightmare of a war-torn country, encapsulated by starvation, disease, murder and the breakups of millions of families.

Spot on.

Re: Donald Trump Jr compares Syrian refugees to Skittles

Syrian refugees were compared to candy?
And that's a scandal?
Talk about searching for something to bitch about.
If he had said a bowl of baby ruths with 3 dog turds that would still be a pretty apt analogy.
BUT
Had he said a bowl of dog turds with 3 dog turds containing poison corn kernels that might be something to complain about.

Are we clear now?

I can't say I would be.

Re: Donald Trump Jr compares Syrian refugees to Skittles

Everyone knows it's an analogy (yet the usual suspects will pretend otherwise), and it explains the refugee situation perfectly. Most of them will be good citizens, but a small number of them will rape, rob, and kill.

The response from Skittles was brilliant:

"Donald Trump Jr compares Syrian refugees to Skittles"

That's 100% incorrect. It is comparing Militant Islamic Extremist hidden in the population of Syrian refugees to a bowl of Skittles of which only 3 can kill you.

When is the left going to stop these far too frequent instances ridiculous and manufactured fauxrage?
They've done it so often that its losing traction, much like to the boy who cried wolf far too often.

So, we should deport all our football players "because a small number of them will rape, rob, and kill"?

I'm convinced there is nothing you won't give Trump a complete pass on.

You should be unconvinced of that.

Do you, or don't you, agree that the claim that "Donald Trump Jr compares Syrian refugees to Skittles" is a load of BS?

It was not what he was comparing. Or does the use of an analogy escape you as much as it seems to have escaped Manc Skipper?

just because there is a weasel in the hen house doesn't meant you allow more to get in.

Sure there are people that do that here in the US, However that isn't a reason to continue to allow people into this country from terrorist countries with little vetting.

In a thread where you are outraged over a skittle analogy you really have no room to talk.
