The energency meeting part was the satire.
They've already had a horrendously racist name for her years.
Those quotes were far too coherent to have been real
Pffft, like he would ever cut short a golf trip.
He’s not especially bright. It’ll be “Krazy Kamala”.
“Cacklin’ Kamela” already exists and seems to be mean enough to fit the bill
Its only flaw is that some contingent will write “KacKlin’ Kamela” which kind of gives the game away
Which is pretty funny too when you pick it apart and realize the crux of that insult is “she laughs wrong”.
OH NO! Clearly that should disqualify someone from office
Well, given they think wearing tan suits should disqualify (people of certain skin color) from office…
It's not funny because this tactic works. Maybe not in such a short timeline, but it worked on Hillary Clinton. Ask any republican what they think of her and they'll tell you she's a bitch. Ask them how long they've thought of her as such and it'll be over 12 years. Ask them why and the only solid response they'll have is Benghazi and maybe a crack about not satisfying Bill. She has been vilified for mundane things to turn her into a wholly annoying person that actually hurts her public image.
So while I'm with you, it's fun to pick apart this insult to show how boring it is, I can't help but fear it's effectiveness. This is coming from the group that thought Hillary would start a war every month. You know, because all the other wars, all under men, were naturally occurring or something.
Pokemon go to the polls!
I mean Trumpists don't care about facts, they will lap anything up.
But Hillary was hated all over the spectrum.
Yeah, and what was she hated for?
Ignoring several states in her campaign.
Being absolutely unrelatable.
Her policies very conservative.
Generally acting like the world owed her the position.

Yeah they can’t use “Cackling copilot Kamala” anymore can they
To be honest the guy can come up with some catchy nicknames, there's even a Wikipedia article listing them:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nicknames_used_by_Donald_Trump
Like, "Little Rocket Man" is fucking savage. 😂
That's the whole problem with him in a nutshell, to be honest. He's an entertainer after all. You can call it what you want but there is a weird sort of charisma mixed in with the narcissism and utter deranged lunacy. That's why he's so dangerously good at appealing to his base and maintaining this cult of personality.
He wasn’t even really an entertainer though. He’s “entertaining” because of how big of a douchbag he is, which is why he got The Apprentice show. I don’t think most people watched that because they thought he was the hero of that story.

Meatball Ron is my personal favorite. As a Floridian I've had ample opportunity to whip that one out in conversation
the "convicted felon" is the only nicknane people should use for him, though.
We already have "Crooked Joe", he's just going to recycle that as "Crooked Kamala"
Sleepy Kamala doesn't have the right ring to it I suppose, lol.
It took me 4 goddamned times. I scrolled past this article 4 times before I saw it was satire.
I read it as sexiest lol
Same. I was thinking "Hot Lips Harris" as an homage to "Hot Lips Houlihan". Then I started reading replies and went back to see where I went wrong.
Why reinvent? "Heels Up Harris" has been around.
Doesn't work as a pejorative, she is more referred to by her first name.
Totally agree, saw a Kacklin' Kamaltoe, but doesn't do it....
No doubt she's a nasty^TM woman.
couldn't tell if TheOnion at first.
I think his last speech he said he calls her Laughing Harris because of how she laughs. She’s a crazy woman apparently.
Women aren’t supposed to laugh according to republicans
Female autonomy will crush the prospects of a trad husband
He's so juiceless, this is nothing lmao
Her laugh is fucking great too, which is what makes this extra stupid. Its full throated and heartfelt, just out and out joyous. The kind of laugh that warms a fucking room.

if republicans actually spent time working on policies that people actually supported maybe their entire campaign wouldn't fall apart when their opponents base get fired up.
Maybe JD Vance will suggest something like "Not the mom-ala" Harris.
Sexist and possibly a thinly-veiled racist name as well.
You're hired!!
Doesn't he just reuse "nasty woman" for all women?
I'm not sure this a onion type thing.
