Some research seems to reveal why Pepe won't say China.

Hint: criticism of the totalitarian regime, not a deragatory slur against the most populous ethnic group


I suppose it depends on context.

But if the word is anti-CCP totalitarianism, why wouldn’t Pepe explain that? :?

Seems fishy.

That’s why it’s more plausible, to me, that it’s against a People like the N word.


Seriously.
Why do you keep embarrassing yourself? :roll:

I explained it here, in this very thread:

There is no explanation/definition of the word nor your use of an asterisk to explain what you wrote.

Your post’s context indicated that it was some people you were referring to, as you said that they were “put in their place.” But your post did not say Who, and seeing as the trump administration did awful things to many different groups of people, I had to ask who you were referring to.

Using an asterisk in a word described by someone from your country as being derogatory isn’t exactly a good look for you. Hence my post w/ very clear explanation that racial/cultural slurs aren’t cool and shouldn’t be accepted here or anywhere.

This has been discussed. All of these morons realized their moron kinfolk are facing 20 years in jail for their insurrection at the capitol in DC. Also, they realize correctly that their pea shooters are no match for the big guns the National Guard has & well splatter them on the ground with should they attempt a violent overthrow of a state capitol.

Hm, I haven't seen that one, but its probably true. I'd avoid it Pepe as its reminiscent of the actual slur.

I could only speculate.


No need to speculate.

I did explain it. Goldfish simply didn't read it or pretended not to read it.
I can only speculate on which. ;)

I’ve read it more than once. You still haven’t explained it.

Where in that post do you write what “China*s,” means, is defined as, or who it refers to and what context you used the word in?

You have not.

I have an interest in using a 'K' instead of using a 'c' because of my German connection.
I believe a 'K' is often used, instead of a 'c' in German spelling, such as in "America'.

I don't ever use "China".
A misleading straw man assertion.
Intended character assassination by you?
I don't think so.

I use "China*" or "China*s*".
The asterisk determines a missing letter or wildcard.


China and China*s is still ambiguous enough to be misinterpreted (that was my only point) never any intention to character assasinate

Nobody outside of mainland China is a fan of the CCP

Having failed to get any kind of straightforward definition that anyone could understand, I'm assuming it's as derogatory as it appears to be. Consequently the word has been added to the automatic word censor, which will substitute it with "China".
That's going to make a bit of a mess of the posts above using the word...

Well, It's name isn't even close to China in Chinese, anyway.... it's Zhōngguó / 中国 / 伤心青蛙不是一个严重的人.

Seems the fear of public identification has made many of these MAGA "heroes" scared of showing their faces. Not to mention the national guard out in force so they don't want to end up like whac-a-mole Ashley Babbit

Hiding MAGAs will now put pressure on their elected GOP congress to continue the "rage"

To be expected from a president that has LIED publicly more than THIRTY THOUSAND TIMES since taking office 4 years ago.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics ... -database/


Hmmm! Is that really true. Now the Washington Post is known to have a Lean Left bias.
Source: Washington Post media bias rating is Lean Left.
So their perception might be a little tainted, but creating a database listing 30,573 false or misleading claims seems a little bit like an obsessive compulsive disorder.

So let us drill down a little deeper.

Their first claim is that President Trump said “We also built the greatest economy in the history of the world…Powered by these policies, we built the greatest economy in the history of the world.”
Normally the vitality of an economy is measured in Gross Domestic Product (GDP). According to the latest available data on the Real Gross Domestic Product
The GDP of the U.S.
for 2019 was 19,091.662 billion in chained 2012 dollars
for 2018 was 18,684.786 billion " " " "
for 2017 was 18,144.105 billion " " " "
[Chained dollars is a method of adjusting real dollar amounts for inflation over time, to allow the comparison of figures from different years.]
The U.S. had the highest GDP in 2019 than any year from 1929 to present [and most likely from the beginning of our nation].
This reference did not list the GDP for 2020 but I expect that it dropped due to the coronavirus pandemic and the shutting down of the American economy.

The third item they listed as a falsehood was “We just got seventy five million votes. And that's a record in the history of sitting presidents.” Well the president received 74,223,744. Not quite 75 million votes. But according to Newsweek that is over 7 million more votes than any sitting President in U.S. History. Source: Donald Trump's 73.6 Million Popular Votes Is Over 7 Million More Than Any Sitting President in History

The fourth item they listed as a falsehood was “One of the things we're very, very proud of is the selection of almost three hundred federal judges and three great Supreme Court justices. That's a very big number. That's a record-setting number.”
Trump appointed 54 federal appellate judges and 174 district court judges and 3 Supreme Court justices during his single four year term. He didn't appoint 300 federal judges but he said "almost three hundred federal judges". Other presidents appointed more judges but this was stretched out over two terms. So the number he appointed was a very large number. It was a record setting number but not the top of the list. According to the PEW Research Center:
In the process, Trump “flipped” the balance of several appeals courts from a majority of Democratic appointees to a majority of Republican appointees. Trump also had a major influence on the nation’s highest court. The three Supreme Court justices he appointed – Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett – are the most by any president since Ronald Reagan (who appointed four) and the most by any one-term president since Herbert Hoover (though Richard Nixon appointed four in his first four years in office). Source: How Trump compares with other recent presidents in appointing federal judges

The fifth item on their list was: “Our first lady has been a woman of great grace and beauty and dignity. And so popular with the people, so popular with the people.”
Why did this even make the list. This is not a political statement. Generally there is a unwritten rule that the kids and spouses of presidents are off-limits. But almost from the beginning the press launched attack on Trump's family. They even went so far as to attack ten year old Barron Trump, the youngest son of President Trump shortly after the election. It was seen as a cheap sucker punch. What did he do? He can't even vote. Why pick on him?
Now does Melania Trump have grace, beauty and dignity. IMHO yes. She was even a former model. Is she popular with the people? Her popularity is intrinsically tied to her husband the President. At the moment her popularity rating is at 57% according to the latest CNN poll. Melania Trump's Popularity Grows In New CNN Poll

If there is rage and protest, it is mainly from the left:

Left-wing riots have rattled a handful of cities across the U.S. even after President Biden's inauguration – leading to vandalism of government buildings and at least 20 arrests.

In Seattle Wednesday, hours after the swearing-in ceremony, dozens of protesters marched demanding the abolition of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. At least three people were arrested, and broken windows were reported – including those at Starbucks' original Pike Place storefront.

Image

"I remember the media and Democrats blaming all this Antifa violence on Donald Trump -- yet here we have Joe Biden in the White House and Antifa is still rampaging in the streets of Seattle and Portland and Denver,"

And in the college town of Bellingham, Wash., Mayor Seth Fleetwood was rushed out of City Hall Friday morning after a mob of rioters stormed the building.

KIRO-TV reporter Deedee Sun tweeted video that appeared to show masked, black-clad protesters taking down the American flag outside and carry it away. She said they also "threw a hot drink" on a different reporter and stole a microphone.

On the same day, Portland saw an anti-Biden Antifa protest in which rioters carrying stun guns, pepper ball guns and fireworks scuffled with police and damaged an ICE building, police said. Photographs show marchers carrying signs with phrases including, "We don’t want Biden – we want revenge!" and "We are ungovernable."

Meanwhile, in Washington, D.C., where thousands of National Guard troops were deployed to ensure security on Inauguration Day, authorities said there were "no confrontations" with protesters.

You do realise foxnews.com isn't the best source for accurate information?

Also, do tell me of this antifa ravaging the streets of Denver I live here and its news to me.

Trump's coup attempt failed, and there was no revolution to be televised.  Let us move on to the impeachment trial and get it over with.
