The "R" word is now as forbidden as the "N" word, but Trump can blurt it out, then double down, and he's still Jesus.

Some of the older DUers will remember that many moons ago, the "R----D" word was part of the regular vocabulary, as offensive as it may have been. I heard it A LOT as a kid. Then, it became insensitive / politically incorrect to say it.

So Trump says it regarding Tim Walz.

And because the Media is hell-bent on being Trump apologists and sane-washing his words, THEY GAVE HIM AN OPPORTUNITY TO RETRACT HIS STATEMENT and...you guessed it...he doubled down.

I keep thinking about the "SECRET FORBIDDEN APPRENTICE TAPES" of Trump "Using the N-word."

OF COURSE HE DID. He probably still does. LOOK AT HIS HISTORY. He's no Rosa Parks.

But the "R----D" word thing pisses me off, because it's the same thing he did when he "mocked the disabled reporter." No respect for ANYONE, including HIMSELF, but don't tell the MAGAts. They still believe he could turn 5 King's Hawaiian Rolls and 5 sardines into dinner for 5000, right after parting the Red Sea.

the r word, the n word, and any other slur that is out there, and his cult members will bow down in reverence.

I still hear people say it quite often, who otherwise would never say the n-word.

He can literally do anything and they’ll never turn on him.

We know this, for more than ten years we’ve known this.
