      You're not impressed by Biden's improving name-calling game?

      ---

      I actually have to wonder how many aides, consultants, etc they gathered together and how much time they spent trying to come up with a real, humdinger zinger until they finally decided on the stupendous Broke Don.

      Calling Netenyahu a poop face

      Oh, my heavens! He could never do that! It would be seen as antisemitic. But he could make a seemingly critical comment about Netanyahu. That's permissible.

    the trick is not to be clever or funny but to simply make up a name that is stupid and mean

    They really can’t understand actual criticisms. Trump’s names aren’t just random names to be stupid or mean, they have meaning. Sleepy Joe because he’s a tired old man, Low Energy Jeb because his campaign was a wet towel, Alfred E. Neumann for Buttigieg because just look at him, etc.

    “Broke Don” has no meaning, he a fuckin billionaire. Even if he’s been ordered to pay some big fine, he’ll still have plenty of money left. Plus insulting someone for being poor is just bad. But we already know they hate the poors.

    Nicknames I came up with in the time it took me to finish my shit:

    • Dirtbag Donny
    • Tacky Trump
    • Trump the Traitor
    • Desperate Donald
    • Tyrant Trump
    • Daffy Don

    Not great, but better than fucking Broke Don. You can add my six figures consulting bill to the $2000 you still owe me, Joe.

        We value your input. We workshopped that particular pejorative with a focus group of Cheetos® by Frito-Lay North America, LLC. business analysts and PepsiCo executives concerned citizens. They found that particular choice of words to be discriminatory, and that they would be inappropriate for a presidential campaign.

        True. But what's really important is that some consultants were able to put foie gras food on the table for their families. ☺️

    1. Terrible nickname.
    2. "The trick is to not be clever or funny - " opinion discarded. That is the ENTIRE point of namecalling. It's supposed to be catchy and memorable. It doesn't need to be factual, but if it is, that's just a bonus. I hate to say it, but calling him a "cheeto" is more memorable simply because it's been ironically said by people here so much that I now find it funny. The fact that they fail to understand this basic concept and want to follow RULES and PROCEDURES for fucking NAMECALLING shows how sheltered liberals are, at best, and at worst, they have no hatred for their "enemies"
    3. Of all the nickanmes they could've chosen, they decided to pick the one thing that millions of Americans are suffering from right now, and something that democrats have accused their voters of "being too stupid" to understand and "ruining Biden's election" whenever they complain about it
    4. Conservatives get a boner whenever they see Trump handing out pizzas to people. Being """broke""" will only give more cred with his base who are also broke.

      Totally nailed it with this. For me this is what makes this the worst idea ever. "Broke Don", no he's still rich - I'm the one that's broke and its not funny

      The term reinforces the class war as well, reminding you that the 'broke' or moniless are obviously incompetent and not to be trusted.

      I'm trying to imagine Biden doing that. I can't. It's harder for me than if I don't google and right now I tried to explain the details of the science and physics of a warp drive might actually work. I can't even take a baby step. I have no starting point.

    Kim Jong-un came up with “Dotard” in an instant while showcasing his appreciation of late Middle English (never forget, Kim was Western educated, in Swiss international school!) without any of the million dollar think tank money spent on this crap.

      I think the peak was when they referred to Biden as a rabid dog

      "Rabid dogs like Biden can hurt lots of people if they are allowed to run about. They must be beaten to death with a stick, before it is too late,” it wrote. “Doing so will be beneficial for the U.S. also."

    this is libs in a nutshell - the mean nickname has to be clever or it has to reference something or imply something

    they don't get that by even calling him 'Don' it takes the edge out of it

    i legit think that if joe biden got on stage and started calling donald trump 'this fucker' they would get more votes than by doing anything else

      started calling donald trump 'this fucker'

      As a bonus - "How could a president as kind, as generous, as decent and just plain good as President Joe Biden stooooooooooooop..." and Lawrence O'Donnell falls over. He would be so worked up that in the middle of one of his shows - he gives himself a brain aneurism. And we could laugh at the video clip for years.

    doesn't matter what the nickname is because Biden isn't suave enough to even say it out loud using his own mouth.

    Broke Don is fun when the economy is failing for most people and they can't afford basic expenses while Genocide Joe gaslights them about it. Great optics from PR demons with six figure salaries.
