Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

He's been calling her that for years, and it's kind of wild nobody really mentions it. Michael Cohen tried to play it off as "oh its probably commentary on how she handles lawsuits" (paraphrased) but it's pretty clear from this list of nicknames that Trump just likes rhyming nicknames for bullying people about things he thinks makes others inferior, including but not limited to racism, ableism and sexism.
Well black is superior to orange so I think she's alright
If black and orange can't even get together for Halloween, we're worse off than I thought.
I thought Orange Is the New Black ... ::rimshot::
I'll see myself out!
Reading this back days later, I do want to clarify for anyone that doesn't get it, that I was referencing the show Orange Is the New Black as a play on words in the comment above.
most brilliant Wikipedia page hands down 😂
I've never heard that word. TIL. Dang sneaky dog whistles that just go over my head.
That's the whole point. Unless you are a dog you don't hear it. Otherwise it would just be a normal whistle...
Like whistling Dixie?
FNORD
I think I've only heard it in Police Academy, when Hooks accidentally runs over the feet of one of the bad guys.
Fuck I haven't heard that word in like 10 years. But yeah that's legit what that statement looks like.
Yeah, “peekaboo” is something Trump probably uses as a dog whistle because he actually thinks it’s a slur, but his dumb brain transposed it for the one you mentioned some time in the past and nobody bothered to correct him, so he just keeps using it, like when people incorrectly use the word “irregardless.”
My old boss used to say "octagon illusion" No one knew if he was being funny or stupid, but no one ever corrected him because it was funny and made him sound stupid.
What was he trying to say?
My guess is optical illusion.
In my defense irregardles sounds better.
No. It really doesn't. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
What, 'without no regard' doesn't seem better? ;)
I heard it defined years ago as "Not without a lack of disregard", and I've been using it ever since
to be honest, I could care less.
(But that takes too much effort.)
I could care less. I won't. But I could.
In my defense here gargle this better
That was the first thing that popped into my head. Why can't this fucker just have a heart attack from all his hamberders already? I'm sick of hearing his shit. The last 3 years were nice. Man was practically out of the news cycle.
I do not know. But. Like. I'm willing to pitch in to buy him an all-you-can-eat supply of them. you know. To help the heart attack along.
Got my popcorn out . . . .
I physically cringed when I read that. JFC indeed. He’s such a racist dipshit.
I was thinking the exact same thing. I came to the comment section to see if anyone else caught it, or if I was jumping to conclusions.
You're trying to tell me there's black guys on the internet now?
I had to google that word because I had no idea of its existence.
Ignorant white dude here, what is it jigaboo?
Yet another slur for a black person.
Just had to look it up myself, it's a contemptuous term for a black person.
How confident are we that Trump would know that?
In his generation, particularly with known actions of his father, I'm quite certain he would know that word. Very common for that age group and their parents.
Honestly, I'm glad that it was asked here in this context, because a) everybody reading this without the prerequisite knowledge will find an immediate answer and b) I'd rather not land on some list for googling something that may or may not be a red flag without even knowing :)
If you think you're going to land on some kind of list for googling a word then you should be out in the street rioting.
Oh, I absolutely know that everything I google is meticulously sorted into my data profile. I just wanna be a good zombie and be on all the right lists :)
You're posting on the fediverse. You're already on all the lists.
I didn't even know that slur existing. Fuck Trump. When will we finally get to not give a shit about him.
Prob bc it's an older slur, like how most people wouldn't recognize dago or wop these days. But unlike racism against Italians, the country never moved on from being racist against black people, so greaseball hamberders like the orange combover can still gin up reactions with his klan supporters by dogwhistling it.
Ahh I wondered about that odd word choice.
Isn't peekaboo a game you play with babies?
Is that a euphemism for like having some kind of affair?
"playing peekaboo under the table"
Or am I hallucinating?
