After going after her racial identity, Trump has now taken to deliberately misspelling her name.

    “When I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I’m basically the same. The temperament is not that different.” - Donald Trump

    Yep. Sure sounds like an insult a first grader would come up with.

    Old man is running through nicknames so fast and none are sticking.

    He’s a few names away from calling her the N word or C word.

            What, like a shortened version of “Pakistani?” I guess maybe that could be a thing in the States, but I’ve literally never heard it.

            I could see how it could piss off an Indian-American, though (just as I could see how being called “Indian” could piss off a Pakistani-American).

                Afaik it’s definitely a slur here in the US, but most people have never met a Pakistani person and thus don’t know to be racist against them.

                  They may have met Pakistani people but aren’t going to pay enough attention to know that. They’ll just go with some generic Muslim slur (it does not matter if they aren’t Muslim).

                Its a bit of a linguistic curiosity, because while it’s highly offensive in the UK, here in Boston, it’s a local/colloquial name for “liquor store” (literally, “packie” = “package store” as in “package of booze”). The more noticeable the townie accent, the more likely you’ll hear that term.

    “People vote with their STOMACH, and food is now at an all time high because of Kamabla/Biden INCOMPETENCE,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post Monday. “With them in charge, IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE!”

    What appeared to be a typo was confirmed as an intentional misspelling of Harris’ first name in a follow-up post an hour later.

    “Kamabla has stated, over and over again, that she wants to DEFUND THE POLICE AND, WITHOUT QUESTION, BAN FRACKING,” Trump wrote. “‘NO MORE FOSSIL FUEL.’ This will quadruple the cost of energy in America! DEPRESSION ANYONE!”

    Sad. Like watching a banana overripen to the point where you can’t even make banana bread with it.

    For someone whose forte is supposed to be nicknames Kamabla is remarkably weak and sad. Don’t know if it’s because Kamala is hard to find an angle on or if Trump is getting too old and slow, but one thing is for certain: Meatball Ron this ain’t.

      It’s quite possibly one of the weakest nicknames in the history of the US… certainly in my lifetime… Not that I’m old… Not like Sleepy Joe Biden… There’s a good one… Nickname that is. Not a good President… horrible president. Kamala… she’s a bit younger than me…60s vs 70s (she says shes 59 but I’ve yet to see her birth certificate and im sorry… I’ve seen a lot of beautiful 59 year old women and Kamala looks so much older … I’m sorry that’s the truth). But yah whoever came up with this nickname should be fired. Oh that was me? And you think right now is the best time to point that out? Hey… Everyone…look at this RINO over here!

    The first thing I think of when I see “Kamabla” is Three Dog Night’s song “Shambala.” Which is a lovely song about people being helpful and kind. So I’m just gonna stop thinking about it right there.

    I think he’s aiming for “Kama-blah” but as always he’s missed the mark

      I thought he was trying to say KaMOBla to imply she is a criminal and part of a Mob conspiracy.

    He’s making fun of Kamala being indian!

    How does no one get this? Am I the only one who grew up and watched other children get insulted for their name, or just being indian, exactly like this?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
