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!

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?

Is his brain deteriorating before our eyes? The Kamala names are getting worse every time and this one is completely abysmal. The next one might just be a string of random letters.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

In two weeks he's gonna call her by Elon child's name.

If he aint gibbering hes blubbering. Sorry ass sap that he is

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

This guy has never had an ounce of class.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Probably doesn't know how to spell "blah"

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago

This guy never left the school yard. Total child.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago (4 children)

I literally don't understand what he's going for with Kamabla. Like, literally, what the fuck does it mean or imply? What am I missing?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

How does no one else get this!?

It’s a slur implying she’s indian! It sounds like a hard to pronounce indian name.

Maybe it’s just where I grew up, but this absolutely sounds like a name one of my middle school peers would have made up to insult an indian kid.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

If I thought he or his supporters had enough world knowledge to associate the concept of Shambala from Hinduism to Indians to Kamala then maybe I'd go with him trying to say being Indian is worse than being black which he argues she isn't

Instead I think it's more likely he just is incapable of saying her name without stumbling all over himself, so he's decided if he can't say her name it's because she's foreign and that's bad

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Maybe he could keep saying it and gradually drawl her name until it sounds like "Gambler" and then make some enigmatic comments about knowing when to fold them and walk away. ... yeah I've got nothing, not seeing the method to his madness this time.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

Senior moment.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago

Ok, this is fucking weird right here

[–] [email protected] 24 points 3 months ago

What a weird insult

[–] [email protected] 26 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago

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!

“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.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago

She's literally a cop...

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago
[–] [email protected] 21 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Confirmed as intentional? More like he's such a narcissist that when someone pointed out that he'd misspelled it, he doubled down.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Or the autocorrect on his iPhone remembered the earlier typo and used it again, and he's too lazy to fix it.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Kamabla

ooh, look! its the newest stealth trump hashtag!

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