[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's definitely a slur. It's even a slur that I (a white person) have heard white people using while saying racist things, a few times in my life. But here is what Trone said: “So this Republican [bugaboo] that it’s the tax rate that’s stopping business investment, it’s just completely faulty by people who have never run a business. They’ve never been there. They don’t have a clue what they’re talking about.” Bugaboo makes total sense. The slur word makes zero sense. Sometimes people actually mis-speak. Bugaboo 1: an imaginary object of fear 2: bugbear sense 2 (an object or source of dread: a continuing source of irritation : problem) also : something that causes fear or distress out of proportion to its importance https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/bugaboo[/quote] Anyone with half a brain knows he mis-spoke, given the right word makes sense in the context of the phrase, and the wrong word (the one he used) doesn't make any sense at all. But apparently there's a very fired-up poster trying to make this into something! :-)[/quote] I agree he probably misspoke. But man if Trump had said this you guys would have his head. Let’s be real. [/quote] Fundamental difference between Fatty Orange who regularly and intentionally makes derogatory comments about all sorts of people and never apologizes for them and Trone who mis-spoke and then apologized. [/quote] +1 You have a choice this time when you go to the polls. Vote for Hogan install a dictator and lose all rights we become a dictatorship. Vote and Trone and we have a better chance of getting out of this walk to Authoritarians ie us be owned by Russia. By the way since when does an Authoritarian regime let citizens have a say in anything??????? Only idiots will vote for Republicans moving forward they can not read a dictionary have no idea what a dictatorship is and have not read Project 2025. When you spew that Hogan is a good candidate remember he is a god dammed Republcian that wants to install a dictatorship nothing else matters if you are a true American. [/quote]
