The Slobfather did not call Alvin Bragg a degenerate psychopath

[malaise]

(as said by a regular on Morning JoeScum). He called him a denigrate psychopath which is both crazy effing stupid and racist to the core.

Denigrate - late Middle English (in the sense ‘blacken, make dark’): from Latin denigrat- ‘blackened’, from the verb denigrare, from de- ‘away, completely’ + nigrare (from niger ‘black’).

[Takket]

1. Did he mean degenerate? Because denigrate

Makes no sense in that context. It is a verb, not an adjective. I feel like he just doesn’t know the difference between those two words lol

Covfefe

2. Which is why it is crazy effin stupid andclearly not English

but he so wanted to use the N word that denigrate is what he typed.

[The Magistrate]

8. Thank You, Ma'am

I'd never noticed that shade in the word, but once pointed out it stands clear.

Something to call the common practice in attack ads against a black candidate of darkening his or her skin in the pictures....

[malaise]

9. Decades ago, my favorite aunt told me never to use that word

since it was a racist insult to people looking like us.

[ananda]

26. Good catch!

Thanks

[bucolic_frolic]

3. Thanks for alerting to code words deliberately used to energize his base

Who can not see this?

[brewens]

4. If Trump intentionally used denigrate, he was coached. There is no way a guy that

must have picked up his vocabulary watching Our Gang knows that word.

He may have been misspelling degenerate and accepted what his autocorrect threw out without reading it closely.

[TNNurse]

18. I agree.

[hatrack]

29. Stephen Miller hard at work . . .

33. I agree also.

He has the vocabulary of a first grader (or less), so I doubt he chose that word himself.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

42. Totally agree that's the most likely

Even more unlikely is that, if he did know the word, he'd known it had any association with 'blackness' and used it purposefully because of that, as some suggest above.

And a 'coach' would've said 'that word makes no sense there, it's a verb, not an adjective'.

I'll take 'auto-correct' for $1000, Alex.

5. It is killing TFG that 3 powerful and smart people of color are going after him.

D.A. Bragg, A.G. Tish James, and D.A. Fani Willis have the goods on him and he knows it too.

[malaise]

6. But it looks like the white SC has the best case

followed by Georgia.
Down he goes!

[Botany]

11. All of the cases against him are very strong*

But the Manhattan case might be the weakest as per the penalties.

* They have the tapes, the phone calls, the checks, the stolen documents, and
2 of his lawyers now have to give testimony against him because judges ruled that
he was using his lawyers to break the law. Now, people like Lindsey Graham, Rudy,
and Meadows will have to see if they want to go to prison for Trump.

[malaise]

12. Agree

but we want the strongest penalties 😀

[Botany]

14. On just the civil case in NY State Tish James has the Trump Organization for 1/4 of a billion $s and

it will no longer be able to do business in the state. I suspect criminal referrals will come from that
case and the House J-6 committee has submitted its findings and evidence to the DoJ and Jack Smith
asking for criminal indictments.

[wnylib]

19. Would no longer doing business in NY State

include no longer renting out units in Trump Tower? If so, how would that be enforced?

[Botany]

20. The A.G. already has that covered with leins ready to go against the Organization's properties

I think that is the case but I might be wrong.

[wnylib]

22. Will be interesting to see.

[Jarqui]

27. $250 mil is the low end. It could be triple that.

Plus she made criminal referrals for tax and fraud.
And it looks like Weisselberg messed up his immunity deal and has to flip more to avoid more prison.

[Botany]

28. Tish James doesn't come to play

24. A Triple Dose of Irony...I Love it! After you, Sistahs and Bruther!

The Irony... It burns!

And you deserve every miserable minute, drumphf.

[dalton99a]

13. He changed it

[malaise]

15. Too late

😀😀

[Botany]

16. He is shittin' kittens. He is scared out of his mind. Cap Lock Crazy.

"EVERYBODY KNOWS I'M 100% INNOCENT." Bragg gave him a chance to say so in front
of the Grand Jury but he refused to do so.

[Lonestarblue]

21. I wonder if Miller is still writing for Trump.

Normally, he doesn’t write in full sentences, and he probably didn’t even know the meaning of denigrate.

[llmart]

34. That was my first thought also.

[WinstonSmith4740]

39. Me, too.

I mean, the spelling, punctuation, and grammar are all correct. He couldn't do that on his best day.

[malthaussen]

17. I doubt he knows what either word means.

Probably thought he was saying "degenerate."

Denigrate is usually a verb meaning put somebody down, of course. Though you never can tell, so many verbs are adjectives and nouns these days.

25. I think he's an ignorant fool re language and more

but I suspect that he knows every code word that can attack African Americans - his father was KKK

[NoMoreRepugs]

23. IMO there is no way the SlobFather doesn't have a ghost writer.

Too many multi syllable words.

[lark]

30. tfg has early stage dementia and constantly confuses words.

His level of understanding keeps shrinking.

[BradBo]

31. This is where I think Trump gets help.

He’s too stupid to know that. I think he’s being helped with his tweets.

[Fla Dem]

35. Actually, I'm shocked the Blob would know either word. Both seem above his intellectual level.

[Tommy Carcetti]

36. I highly doubt the man is an etymologist.

I only saw his Truth posting with "degenerate," and I don't know if he actually used "denigrate" but later edited it to "degenerate."

I somehow doubt it, given the fact that he's perfectly fine with leaving references to a "stollen election" as is, unless he actually is referring to a ballot initiative concerning a German Christmas bread.

Remember this is a guy who literally can't spell the name of his favorite food correctly.

Is it still a Freudian slip if the person's subconscious is too stupid to understand the meaning of the word he or she accidently blurted out?

[malaise]

37. Who knows but I think he knows the N word

That said he is no etymologist but his daddy was KKK.

[onenote]

41. did he delete and repost his tweet? Because the one I saw said "degenerate"

[muriel_volestrangler]

43. A Freudian slip, perhaps?

I expect he's typed the N word to some people often enough.
