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.
Or the P word. Or is that racial slur not such a thing in the states as it is in the UK for someone of south Asian descent?
i legit don't know what p word you mean. I think you're right about that not being used in the US
Rhymes with Jackie.
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).
In the UK it's culturally seen as almost as bad as the n word.
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).
They’ll just go with some generic Muslim slur (it does not matter if they aren’t Muslim).
"Towel head" is probably the most common slur for Muslims here in the US - and they don't even know that they're referring to Sikhs, not Muslims.
Hoo, I'm glad you don't live around racists. They've moved on from "towel head" and now refer to them as "sand n-"
I am unfortunately around a lot of racists at work (school bus driver). We have a few black drivers so they can't really use the second term you mentioned. They actually use "native" to refer to black people in polite company, a euphemism about as clever as "let's go Brandon".
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.
I have actually had British friends look at me like I had 2 heads when I asked what kind of beer they wanted at the packie

“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.
Confirmed as intentional? More like he's such a narcissist that when someone pointed out that he'd misspelled it, he doubled down.
Or the autocorrect on his iPhone remembered the earlier typo and used it again, and he's too lazy to fix it.
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.
trumpnana is now squelching its way through my brain. TIHI.
Bananald J. Trump
She's literally a cop...
covfefe
TL/DR: He's trying to make 'Kamabla' a thing
Harris’ campaign should pick this up and run with it, grab the rights to three dog night’s “shambala” and morph this into a positive slogan reeeeeeal quick.
As “Dark Brandon” fades, a new warrior shall rise...
Enter: “Shadow Kambala.”
Edit: changed “Dark Kambala” to “Shadow Kambala” because it sounds cooler.
What, you think she could just wake up one day and turn dark?
Oh my God you don't just ask somebody why they're dark
SOMEONE sure does and he's not that bright 🤦🏼♂️🤣
Colorism comes to Lemmy at last
That’s just weird.
Weird old man and his couch-banging sidekick are weird.
It's a shame when a man gets too old and feeble to speak or spell clearly.
Moron doesn't know how to spell a 7 letter word, weird
Person, woman, man, camebra, tv
TV, man, president, prison
Smooooooth
Beautiful.
Covfefe is 7 letters too
It's been the long con
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!
What a weird insult
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 can't help but think of the drug that President Roslin was taking on the Battlestar Galactica remake. But that's because I'm a nerd.
shamballa is also sort of the closest thing to Buddhist heaven. the spiritual kingdom.
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.
The next one might just be a string of random letters.
Kamvefe
In two weeks he's gonna call her by Elon child's name.
Ok, this is fucking weird right here
This guy never left the school yard. Total child.
Weirdo says weird things.
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.
Probably doesn't know how to spell "blah"
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?
This guy has never had an ounce of class.
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?
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
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.
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.
Yep. Sure sounds like an insult a first grader would come up with.
I mean, both versions of Trump are likely wearing a diaper full of shit, so...
Uh did you wear a diaper in 1st grade?
Kamala bo-bamala fe fi fo kamabla
The name game? Lmao.
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.

I have actually had British friends look at me like I had 2 heads when I asked what kind of beer they wanted at the packie
I had to stop and think to figure out what you meant; not really so much a thing here.
Yeah, that's much more of a UK slur.
. . . Policeman? . . .
P- . . Potatohead?
Y'know what, nevermind. Withdrawn.
aki
Ah.
Aqui o alla?
I don't even know that one and as an American I thought we were caught up on all of the horrible things to say about other people.
