squistion 939 Posted January 17 8 hours ago, IGotWorms said: Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday went after Nikki Haley while referring to her by her first name, Nimrata, in the latest example of Trump using racist dog whistles to attack his GOP presidential rival. Haley is the daughter of Indian immigrants and was born Nimrata Nikki Randhawa. She took her husband Michael Haley’s last name after they married. It is out of the same racist playbook that he and the GOP used by always referring to Obama as "Barack Hussein Obama" and when called on it, the disingenuous response of "That's his name, isn't it?" 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Psychic Observer 197 Posted January 17 10 minutes ago, Nomad99 said: What we have accepted is the let's assault on white pigmentation. What we have accepted is the let's attack on women's rights & biological science. What we have accepted is the attacks from the left on the fundamental way of life our constitution guarantees. What we have accepted is the continuing onslaught of illegal immigrants at our border because votes are more important than the safety of sovereign citizens or the security of our country. What we have accepted is a president that when he's not tripping over his words, he's tripping over his feet. What we have accepted is that our government lied to us about covid in order to subvert our rights. Accepted that. tl;dr Keep America white and I'll never get over covid.

Her being wrong about X, Y, and Z is fair game, this sh*t, othering her on her ethnicity, is a low blow. Do you think this was othering Haley on her ethnicity?

Fumbleweed 437 Posted January 17 Trump is an immature, childish jerk with responsible/sound policy implementation for the most part. Biden is less immature and less of a jerk seemingly, but with horrible policy and horrible policy implementation across the board. I choose #1. But, it's in spite of the former and because of the latter. I choose government officials based on policy decisions. 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zsasz 209 Posted January 17 9 hours ago, IGotWorms said: Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday went after Nikki Haley while referring to her by her first name, Nimrata, in the latest example of Trump using racist dog whistles to attack his GOP presidential rival. Haley is the daughter of Indian immigrants and was born Nimrata Nikki Randhawa. She took her husband Michael Haley’s last name after they married. Trump misspelled Nimrata as “Nimrada” as he attacked her in a new post on his social media platform Truth Social. “Anyone listening to Nikki ‘Nimrada’ Haley’s wacked out speech last night, would think that she won the Iowa Primary. She didn’t, and she couldn’t even beat a very flawed Ron DeSanctimonious, who’s out of money, and out of hope,” Trump posted on Truth Social. Trump also recently amplified a post that falsely claimed Haley was ineligible to run for president because her parents were not US citizens at the time of her birth. Haley was born in Bamberg, South Carolina, and is a US citizen. https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/16/politics/trump-attacks-haley-birth-name/index.html Who would back such an assh0le? I'm one who doesn't get why she doesn't use her real name. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baker Boy 1,501 Posted January 17 It’s amazing how liberals see everything as racist in people whose ideas they disagree with but fail to see the racism in themselves.People like this are commonly known as race baiters. calling someone by their given name is not racist. is a man who said this qualified to be president? "'poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids". Obama is "the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean” You can't go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent" there are dozens more check out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From my POV, Trump’s policies (tax cuts, deregulation, deficit spending) are boilerplate GOP. The only thing that makes him any different from a Jeb or Romney is that he’s more obviously a colossal ass hole, and that seems to be the appeal. I won’t vote for Biden either fwiw.
