Internet responds to news that Donald Trump called Reince Priebus into his office to kill a fly.

Just sayin, Obama didn't need anyone to catch his flies. pic.twitter.com/8zOBEK3A3C

That right there is my favorite one by far, but there were others.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that Gen. Kelly won't put up with that.

He's not even really qualified for that.

Twist: he couldn't use his hands, he had to dehumanize the fly until it lost its will to go on

This story seems even more pathetic when you learn just HOW Priebus was fired.

Courtesy of the Independent Journal Review:  

The firing occurred upon the president's return from Long Island after giving a speech about gang violence. 

As Air Force One was taxiing on the runway at Joint Base Andrews, Trump sent the initial tweets announcing the shake-up. 

The situation was an awkward one because of the fact that Priebus had traveled with the president that day. 

According to the White House pool report, Priebus spent his final moments as White House chief of staff with other administration officials, in the pouring rain, sitting in a van. 

Once the tweet was public, those White House staffers still employed left van, and Reince was all alone.

Somebody then drove the van containing the former White House Chief of Staff away, and only then did Trump exit Air Force One and leave the tarmac in his motorcade, absent one.

Keep in mind that after this humiliation Priebus was then forced to go on TV and confirm his support for Trump, and make up an alternate story line concerning his dismissal.

How does one even stand up straight without a spine?

Donald Trump's son tweets image comparing refugees to poisoned candy.

This image says it all. Let's end the politically correct agenda that doesn't put America first. #trump2016 pic.twitter.com/9fHwog7ssN

The post by the Republican presidential candidate's son immediately went viral. It earned the support and praise of many Trump supporters, who worry that an influx of refugees poises an existential security threat. It also drew condemnation from many who viewed the tweet as a flip, dehumanizing way to address a humanitarian catastrophe affecting more than 13 million people. 

The makers of Skittles were quick to join the second camp. "Skittles are candy. Refugees are people," a spokeswoman for the candy's parent company, Wrigley, said in a widely distributed statement. "We don't feel it's an appropriate analogy. We will respectfully refrain from further commentary as anything we say could be misinterpreted as marketing."

Damn! Nothing says elitist POS quite like comparing people to food.

And we wonder how the terrorists are able to convince folks living in this country, who are being treated as if they are less than human, to go on killing sprees.

The question to be asked is why are there not more of them?

Update: As it turns out the guy who took the Skittles picture is an ex-refugee.

Because you know irony is literally saturating this election cycle.

"Girls are like apples." I'm sorry, what?

Perhaps one of the most disturbing images on the Internet recently comes from the Christian fundamentalist website, “Let Them Marry.” Formerly called, “True Love Doesn’t Wait (It Marries)”, the pro-early marriage site is a Quiverfull ministry dedicated to teaching fathers the truly biblical path to marriage for their young sons and daughters.

Nothing like treating women  as if they are objects for men barter and trade amongst themselves, don;t you think?

After all how scandalous to think that they are human beings as well, capable of choosing the life that want to lead, and with whom they might want to live it.
