I don't know how I expected "wahhhh" to be spelled, but I always immediately read it in Wario's voice.
Let's a go!
I humbly request that you consider eliminating the "R" word from your vocabulary.
Folks here and here make the case better than I could.
I'm sure no harm was intended, but harm is still caused by that word. The folks to whom it applies are well aware of it and know it's about them, whether you mean it to be or not.
My wife used to teach at an adult day school for adults with developmental and cognitive disabilities. She taught, among other things, Shakespeare. When I say that her students learned the material, I mean they'd sit around and discuss it. They knew it better than I did (although in fairness, I've never been much into Shakespeare).
It's just a word that feels like it doesn't harm, but it does. I used to use it years ago until someone pointed this out to me, and now I hope that I can help end the usage of it.
If you read this far, I thank you for doing that, no matter which option you choose. <3
How would you rewrite that part of the sentence that used the "R" word? It seems like "idiot" and "stupid" (edit: "moron") are also terms with historical baggage, and likely fall into the same category of being a slur. Or is it just because the "R" word is still in use by the medical field? I suppose "dumbass" is the first word that comes to mind without historical (or current?) baggage, and I'm personally fine to use that term to replace all the others above. But the links you provided don't really give guidance on how to express the above in a "safe" alternative way (note the original was an internal thought); I guess I'm here proposing that everyone just use "dumbass" (shout out to "Red").
Edit: I guess "dumb" also has its problems; perhaps even "fool"?
was such a fucking [dipshit | jackass | asshole | incompetent | fool | asswipe]
There are so many fun words to use!
You can also make new ones.
Like their father being a hamster, and their mother smelling of elderberries.

terms with historical baggage,
Historic baggage maybe, but certainly not current baggage. The "R" word has current baggage.
And that's the difference.
Yes, language changes, and we adjust - "colored" used to be the preferred word when discussing black people.

I'm so happy for him.
But did I read that right? He's devastated? I thought he'd be happy. He got what he voted for.
From what I've read, she's out on bond, with a ankle monitor, awaiting a court hearing in a few months.
At least she's going to get a chance to make her case to a judge, which is better than most are getting. At least she wasn't sent back to Russia within hours of arrest, or even a third nation.
I hope he has people in his life to make sure he knows that this is his fault.
Good. Maybe now he's learned his fucking lesson.
Seriously, no sympathy for these people. He was perfectly fine with thousands of other people's lives and marraiges being destroyed, but suddenly when it happens to him I'm supposed to feel sad for him? Fuck no I don't feel sad.
Think about somebody else for a change asshole.
you know hes going to vote R the moment he gets his wife back, or doubles down.
You wanted this for the rest of us, so I’m out of thoughts, prayers, and fucks. I hope it gets worse for him.
they should have taken him too, for trying to smuggle illegal aliens into the country
Charge him with Human Trafficking.
The problem is I doubt a person like this will vote blue next election.
MAGA voters are zombies, not people, and we are in a zombie apocalypse.

Not only won't they vote blue, they'll write in Trump.
A lot are single issue voters. They will vote for whoever will preserve gun rights or oppose abortion or stick it to the libruls

Have the day you voted for
Ooh some leopards eating some faces. Reached my free article limit so copypasta-d here.
A three-time Trump voter was left devastated after the immigration policies of the president he repeatedly supported resulted in his wife being taken away.
Tech salesman and former MAGA supporter Brent Jindra, 48, was stunned when Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents detained his wife, Galina Bobreneva, after the couple landed at Burbank Airport in California, The New York Times reported.
“A U.S. citizen just watched his wife get dragged away and had no idea where she was going,” Jindra, who voted for President Donald Trump, 80, because of his promises of strict immigration enforcement, recalled of the day.
Jindra was in town to see clients, while Bobreneva—who is originally from Russia—had traveled with him to visit friends. Instead, she was taken to the Adelanto ICE Processing Facility, leaving Jindra struggling to understand how his wife, who “did not jump a wall, she did not swim a river,” could be detained when she “came in Trump’s beautiful, big front door.”
Bobreneva arrived in the U.S. in 2021 on a tourist visa, which she later extended after the war in Ukraine broke out. She applied for asylum in 2022, before meeting Jindra.
“It was your storybook romance,” Jindra told the Times of their relationship. The couple met in March 2025 and married that December. In April, Jindra petitioned to sponsor his wife for a marriage-based green card.
By the time she was detained, Bobreneva had reportedly received official confirmation that her application had been accepted and had already been fingerprinted as part of the process. Her lawyer has asserted that she was never out of lawful status.
“I never thought that it was so easy to take freedom from anyone,” she told the Times, describing conditions inside the Adelanto ICE Processing Facility as making her feel “like a piece of meat, not like a human.” She said the lights were kept on around the clock and that women were crammed together inside the facility. A Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official disputed her characterization in a statement to the Times.
Bobreneva’s account comes as scrutiny of ICE’s treatment of detainees and use of force continues to mount. On Monday, DHS announced that ICE plans to equip its agents with gloves capable of delivering painful electric shocks to migrants.
The announcement came weeks after a July ACLU report, which reviewed more than 1,200 immigration enforcement operations involving ICE, found that nearly a third involved the use or threat of force. Overall, thirty-two detainees died in ICE custody in 2025—the agency’s deadliest year in more than two decades, according to a Guardian tally published at the end of the year.
Bobreneva was released on July 29 on a $35,000 bond and fitted with an ankle monitor. Her case remains ongoing, and she must report to ICE and appear in court, as the proceedings could take months to resolve.
“The allure of the MAGA campaign was around illegal entries of criminals,” Jindra told the Times. The DHS said in a statement to the Times that Jindra’s wife was “an illegal alien” who was targeted for arrest because “she overstayed her welcome in violation of our nation’s laws.”
“We are living in fear in my own country,” Jindra said.
The tech salesman is not the only Trump voter to become frustrated with the president’s policies. An MS NOW segment from June featuring Trump voters—including some who have supported him in every election since 2016—captured growing frustration directed at the president.
“The average American is struggling to make ends meet right now. And nobody wants to hear ‘the war’s almost over.’ Nobody wants to hear ‘it’s gonna get better,’” said Chris Tackett, a three-time Trump voter from Ohio who works as a truck driver.
In a separate segment aired in August, the network spoke to an Ohio mother and three-time Trump voter who broke down in tears as she described how the affordability crisis was making life increasingly difficult.
“You can’t do anything,” she said, pointing to rising gas prices that have made it difficult to “afford to breathe at this point.” She also admitted she felt “hurt” by what she sees happening in the country.
The Daily Beast has reached out to the White House for comment.
ICE plans to equip its agents with gloves capable of delivering painful electric shocks to migrants.
I'm sorry, what the FUCK?!
Shocker, right?
I'll see myself out
The CTG-5 G.L.O.V.E. products deliver shocks ranging from 324 to 362 volts and have a hard operational limit of 380 volts. By comparison, a taser can reach between 1,200 and 1,500 volts.
If only journalists took the 5 seconds to look up how voltage and current actually work to understand that that comparison without other reference points is worthless...

Looking at the article, he pretty much thought ICE would only detain people crossing the border from mexico.
So, all the signs at all his rallies saying "Mass Deportations Now!" Weren't enough of a clue for him? And the grand shitlord himself saying as much repeatedly? Jebus H Crust these people are fucking stupid and/or just awful, awful people.
thats likely the limit of his scope on ICE/immigration/deportation, which is distilled from Faux news, or some right wing news sources , or posts on FB.
this is what you want in america, this is what you get. also evangelical whites hold the majority of influence in this country, being a POC or married to a POC voting R, does not make you an EXCEPTION, but a token to be thrown away.
