Dis Coarse Discourse 0
No surprises here:
In a post on his Truth Social account, Trump repeatedly referred to Haley, the daughter of immigrants from India, as “Nimbra.” Haley, the former South Carolina governor, was born in Bamberg, South Carolina, as Nimarata Nikki Randhawa. She has always gone by her middle name, “Nikki.” She took the surname “Haley” upon her marriage in 1996.
Trump, himself the son, grandson and twice the husband of immigrants, called Haley “Nimbra” three times in the post and said she “doesn’t have what it takes.”
Much more at the link.
Afterthought:
Ii seems relevant to note that, when Donald Trump’s ancestors arrived in the U. S., the family’s name was “Drumpf.”

We are again reminded that that is not a quotation from scripture. This is a Republican Family Value.
Today’s Republican Party has become the party of mean for the sake of mean.

Man shoots hoops while toting his portable phallus. Portable phallus shoots hoopster.
Guns and stupid, guns and stupid,
They go together like love and Cupid.

The Best Years of Our Lives, a superb movie about the challenges faced by veterans returning from WWII. I suspect that veterans returning from other wars have faced similar challenges.
If you can find it, watch it. We saw it on TCM.
Afterthought:
I don’t know that my father faced such challenges upon his return from WWII, but I do know that he saw and endured things that persons on the homefront never had to see or endure.
He fought fascism in Europe.
He would be appalled and ashaned to know that we now must needs fight fascism at home.

Another oxymoronic “responsible gun owner” who didn’t know his responsibility was loaded–and was too stupid to check.
Guns and stupid, guns and stupid.
They go together like love and Cupid.
Let me tell you brother,
You can’t have one without the other.
