She just turned black? Has he not been paying attention for the past 4 years? (Rhetorical question. We all know the answer to that is "no, of course he hasn't, because he's so fixated with himself!")

I'm sure her Jamaican dad would be amazed to hear that his daughter hasn't been black for almost all of her 59 years on this planet.

Well apparently she just turned black.

My wife and I were thinking about turning black. It's just so much paperwork.

Just like those prescription glasses that you leave in the sun but aren't all that effective in cars because the glass blocks the UV. We hate the non-working sunglasses folks. Many people are saying...

Just....turns black. I don't know why we'd think anyone's weird for saying that, seems totally normal. Who said weird?!

I said this in another thread, but "things happening/existing before you know about them" is something I'm working on with my child, not something a presidential candidate should struggle with.

Well, he is a 78 year-old child

It's strange that people would think such a weird, small-handed man-child could run anything let alone a country.

hateful, childish bullies are miserable people, and misery loves company

There's a joke involving peril sensitive sunglasses here somewhere.

The Joo Janta 200 Super-Chromatic Peril Sensitive Sunglasses have been designed to help people develop a relaxed attitude to danger. At the first hint of trouble they turn totally black and thus prevent you from seeing anything that might alarm you.

In the full quote he did say she turned black "a number of years ago", for context, but he's still full of shit.
