Oompa-Loompa = political jab ?

@Joey_P

So it’s not ‘oompa loompa’ that was a political jab, it’s the tiny hands thing?
Got it, so no more mentioning tiny hands in GQ.

It was comparing Trump to an Oompa Loompa that was the jab, which has already been explained. But at this point it’s clear that you’re not really trying to understand the explanation.

Also, it may have been obvious TO YOU, but I don’t follow politics very closely and really don’t pay attention to circus surrounding it, I honesty didn’t catch the joke until you, pointed it out. Also, it’s still kind of a stretch to call it a political jab since the only thing it had to do with politics is that it was aimed at someone running for office.

That’s a political jab pretty much by definition.

Don’t get me wrong, if actual politics were involved I understand that crosses a line, but it’s not the case here.

It was an insulting remark directed at a political candidate. Hence it was a political jab.

While reading all through this thread, it was only when you became explicitly clear about what exactly you were saying, that I realized I disagreed with you.

Don’t get me wrong: moderation is a moderators right, priviledge and responsibility. I’m happy to leave that to you. It’s just off-putting (in this case) to see how the sausage is made.
