Donald Trump has cut short a Florida golf trip to urgently assemble a short-list of misogynistic and racist slurs for likely Presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
The energency meeting part was the satire.
They've already had a horrendously racist name for her years.
“Cacklin’ Kamela” already exists and seems to be mean enough to fit the bill
Its only flaw is that some contingent will write “KacKlin’ Kamela” which kind of gives the game away
Which is pretty funny too when you pick it apart and realize the crux of that insult is “she laughs wrong”.
OH NO! Clearly that should disqualify someone from office
Well, given they think wearing tan suits should disqualify (people of certain skin color) from office…
It's not funny because this tactic works. Maybe not in such a short timeline, but it worked on Hillary Clinton. Ask any republican what they think of her and they'll tell you she's a bitch. Ask them how long they've thought of her as such and it'll be over 12 years. Ask them why and the only solid response they'll have is Benghazi and maybe a crack about not satisfying Bill. She has been vilified for mundane things to turn her into a wholly annoying person that actually hurts her public image.
So while I'm with you, it's fun to pick apart this insult to show how boring it is, I can't help but fear it's effectiveness. This is coming from the group that thought Hillary would start a war every month. You know, because all the other wars, all under men, were naturally occurring or something.
Pokemon go to the polls!
I mean Trumpists don't care about facts, they will lap anything up.
But Hillary was hated all over the spectrum.
Ignoring several states in her campaign.
Being absolutely unrelatable.
Her policies very conservative.
Generally acting like the world owed her the position.
Politicians always skip states.
No candidates are actually relatable, they're just lying
Conservative policies are par for winning democratic candidates
Every candidate has to act like they're going to win. At what point did she seem like it was owed? Was it after she won the popular vote but lost the electoral?
What do you have from before 2015? Follow up, was Bernie your pick for 2016? Genuine question, not using it as a punchline
Attacking victims of sexual assault. I'm sure there are a lot of other genuine reasons for not liking her. I was not brain washed into hating her. I still voted for her.
and they share that laughing compilation of her... honestly it made me like her a little bit. misogyny is obviously alive and well, but i don't think this kind of stupid, surface level "women should be more reserved and shut their mouth" misogyny flies as easily as it did even a decade ago. who knows.
To be honest the guy can come up with some catchy nicknames, there's even a Wikipedia article listing them:

Like, "Little Rocket Man" is fucking savage. 😂
That's the whole problem with him in a nutshell, to be honest. He's an entertainer after all. You can call it what you want but there is a weird sort of charisma mixed in with the narcissism and utter deranged lunacy. That's why he's so dangerously good at appealing to his base and maintaining this cult of personality.
He wasn’t even really an entertainer though. He’s “entertaining” because of how big of a douchbag he is, which is why he got The Apprentice show. I don’t think most people watched that because they thought he was the hero of that story.
Meatball Ron is my personal favorite. As a Floridian I've had ample opportunity to whip that one out in conversation
It took me 4 goddamned times. I scrolled past this article 4 times before I saw it was satire.
Mommyla?
Kamala "Hot Tamales" Harris?
Kamalameha?
Ok, now I feel like I'm getting off track...
I wanna see "Dark Kamala" just like "Dark Brandon" but when I say it aloud it sounds terribly racist. What's a good "Dark Brandon" style term of endearment for her "go get em" side?
Kickass Kamala?
Killer Queen Kamala, given SCOTUS fuckup? (Dynamite with a [Jewish] laser beam.)
Ma ma ma Ma Ma Harris She though she should run Ma ma ma ma Ma Harris Against sleazy Don
Sleepy Don didn’t know what to do Ma ma ma Ma Ma Harris Made him fill his diapers with poo
Ma ma ma Ma Ma Harris She’s coming for you
What’s an old fart felon like Don going to doooo?
Same. I was thinking "Hot Lips Harris" as an homage to "Hot Lips Houlihan". Then I started reading replies and went back to see where I went wrong.
I think his last speech he said he calls her Laughing Harris because of how she laughs. She’s a crazy woman apparently.
Her laugh is fucking great too, which is what makes this extra stupid. Its full throated and heartfelt, just out and out joyous. The kind of laugh that warms a fucking room.
if republicans actually spent time working on policies that people actually supported maybe their entire campaign wouldn't fall apart when their opponents base get fired up.
While not sexist, Kafala Kamala is right there, especially with how they pronounce both words.
Too bad it won't happen because uniparty Americans are too stupid/ignorant to get the multiple entendres.
