It’s Official: With “Vermin,” Trump Is Now Using Straight-up Nazi Talk He’s telling us what he will do to his political enemies if he’s president again. Is anyone listening?

I feel pretty safe in saying that we can now stop giving him the benefit of that particular doubt. His use—twice; once on social media, and then repeated in a speech—of the word “vermin” to describe his political enemies cannot be an accident. That’s an unusual word choice. It’s not a smear that one just grabs out of the air. And it appears in history chiefly in one context, and one context only.

I'm sure Trump has some kind of solution to this "vermin problem"! /s

A concluding solution? Some kind of ultimate solution?
Crikey, surely there must be a 'final' way to say this...

You aren't even being sarcastic, and you're using that stupid shit at the end of your comment? God I hate it. If there's anything I would like eliminated from the face of the earth, it's '/s'.

Clam down dude, some people just can't get that you are making a joke so you gotta use the /s.

Why you gotta? It ruins it.

Like I said some people just can't perceive irony, especially online. My comment would probably be sitting at -28 instead of +28 if I didn't.

Horseshit it's very clearly a joke, and even if it was at -28, why give a shit? And you weren't even being sarcastic.

You ruined your joke.
