The only way you can believe that is if you pin the entirety of the sins of the Bush Administration on the junior Senator from NY who wasn’t even part of the party. It’s absurd blame-shifting of Republican sins onto one (Democratic) woman. Ridiculous talking point bullshit.

Best phone analogy I’ve heard: Hillary is the new iPhone because she’s more of the same and not all that innovative but she’s safe and familiar and will work the way you expect, and Trump is the Note 7 because he’s not ready for popular use and you know no matter how careful you are you’re carrying around a potential…

I mean, that’s....whatever. (I must have missed the part in her book where she detailed pressing the “Direct hundreds of thousands of deaths” buttons). But I can even understand THAT, even if it does exaggerate and reflect an ignorance of what it means to have a significant role in the foreign policy of a superpower.

Exactly— one of the many many many other reasons Fuckabee’s Jaws metaphor fails is that Quint didn’t give a rat’s ass about helping other people. He had a vendetta against that shark + was chasing a little money.

Hillary is my ancient $20 AT&T flip-phone that refuses to stop working no matter how much it’s dropped and splashed and stolen and left behind— Trump is a Molotov cocktail.

No shark. No shark. You’re the shark!

Too European. He’s more of a Bryan Singer fan.

I like this. Hillary is Samsung phone and Trump is a literal bomb.

Well, it’s like a mule in a Sambo’s. Everyone knows that the hooves need trimming, but nobody wants to sell the Ten Commandments for the extra oxycodone.

Not to mention, Trump is far more likely to explode and set everyone / everything on fire just because.

Nah, he’s just going to start a trade war with China that will have disastrous consequences for the US economy and drive unemployment through the roof (which he will then claim is the fault of the global banking syndicate, not his own dumbass policies, and his supporters will believe him).

Yes, but you wouldn’t get it.

Well not all the S7s are exploding so it’s not a great metaphor. It’s almost like Huckabee has conflated a criminal S7 with a competent, safe phone and is using the explosive reputation of the 7 Note/7 Edge to discredit a solid piece of technology.

Mike Huckabee has a pathological desire to defend pedophiles. Mike Huckabee is blindingly loyal to pedophiles, rapists, and other assorted scum of the world. this is very interesting and causes me to contemplate Mike Huckabees obsessional defense of child rapists. Mike Huckabee is a devout Christian, so he says. Mike…

So he thinks Hillary will be disastrous for our country because she supports...immigration? Hmm, wasn’t the US built on immigration?

Folks, when Donald sends his surrogates, he’s not sending his best. He’s not sending you, Jezzies, no way no how. He’s not sending you. He’s sending surrogates that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with them. They’re bringing avarice and foolishness. They’re bringing stupidity. They’re…

Has there ever been a good analogy/metaphor that was defended by “I knew you wouldn’t get it”?

Let me tell you . . .

Even if that’s true and she is a well-intentioned white liberal and not someone making fun of a black man’s book, she’s still part of the problem. Well intentioned white people have been pretending that racism is someone else’s problem since abolition.

I work in academia, and we go through so much mandatory training for diversity - like every 6-12 months - that it shocks me that someone complete the training and think this costume was cute/funny/thoughtful/appropriate in any way.
