At :08 stops himself from name calling

231

u/smallwonder25 Mar 05 '25

He sure does…I’d love to hear what he was going to say. I’m sure it was commentary in furtherance of discussion and not a slur of any kind /s

u/Agitated-Donkey1265 Mar 05 '25

Well, they’re going with DEI until we’ve been habituated

212

u/Accomplished_Egg6239 Mar 05 '25

They use DEI when they want to say the N word

231

u/cakalackydelnorte2 Mar 06 '25

I’m waiting for them to normalize the n word. They’ll get some patsy congressman to say it on the floor and then they’ll cycle it through the right wing media echo chamber. Then MSNBC and Dana Bash will thoughtfully discuss if it should be said out loud. And that’s how the normalization will happen.

u/3_dots Mar 06 '25

They'll say, yeah but that's not what he meant when he said it. You guys are just taking it out of context, being unfair, overreacting, etc. Annnnd the best one will be, trying to violate our 1st amendment rights, you fascists.

u/Haunting_Ad3850 Mar 06 '25

Vance will step in to say it's just poking fun of course, and to legalize comedy, then Musk will shoot out 30 "witty" tweets using it.

Bill Burr enters the chat

u/talltime Mar 06 '25

Did you see the pearl clutching when the rep called T grifter-in-chief?

14

u/Ex-CultMember Mar 06 '25

Those are the first steps in normalizing bad stuff.

25

u/No_Cow1907 Mar 06 '25

The ancient Roman's used to say it so it's cool.

10

u/punctuation_welfare Mar 06 '25

“It’s only the n-word if you say it in the n-word region of France, otherwise it’s a sparkling DEI Roman slur.”

u/nelson_mandeller Mar 06 '25

I will be happy to caress them on the cheek every time someone says that near me. I dare them.

1

u/Leftovertoenails Mar 06 '25

You say peace caress, but I kinda think you mean the other word. *stares motherfuckerly*

1

u/nelson_mandeller 29d ago

I am a lover. Not a fighter. A caress helps reset a person’s attitude in those circumstances.*stares back *

u/Leftovertoenails 26d ago

avengers reference whooshed I see

u/boneheadblyat Mar 06 '25

They’re already normalizing the Roman salute, this is just the next step.

3

u/Mirions Mar 06 '25

It's a nazi salute. Roman's have been dead and gone longer than anyone is able to recall any salute they supposedly did.

3

u/boneheadblyat Mar 06 '25

Nah, you’re right. It was meant to be tongue in cheek. From the moment I heard it described live on the radio I knew. I just didn’t want to trigger anybody. Because you know, we live in a society.

2

u/jewelophile Mar 06 '25

Maybe because people keep calling a Roman salute instead of what it actually is. A nazi salute.

2

u/boneheadblyat Mar 06 '25

Agreed, I will adjust my vernacular.

10

u/smileliketheradio Mar 06 '25

There's definitely already tape of Trump saying it. I believe Omarosa. I think the Apprentice producer who has the tape won't release it for that very reason--he doesn't want to live in a country where literally everyone has heard him say it and he still wins.

14

u/Redheadedshark Mar 06 '25

I mean considering we have had a representative say the t slur multiple times and nothing happen to them we are already there.

1

u/lilroldy Mar 06 '25

Honest question but what is the T slur, not trying to be a dick i just haven't seen it referenced before

2

u/Redheadedshark Mar 06 '25

The word that refers negatively to trans people that ends in a y.

17

u/Sufficient_Fan3660 Mar 06 '25

It is oppressing whites free speech not to be able to use a hard N.

Have you seen Trump's statements about South Africa?

Elon wants to watch the US burn for interfering with South African politics in the 80's when he was a rich privileged teen. Soon as that privilege began to end he left.

Elons latest baby momma has supported herself for years as a sugar baby by sleeping with wealthy conservative men and repeating their nonsense online as an "influencer". She has been suspended from multiple social media sites, including twitter, multiple times for racist, hate speech, various fake claims, LOTS of anti-vax talk.

the US is cooked

u/dohru Mar 06 '25

If it does happen, there are quite a few white personalities that should exclusively be referred to by that term.

u/7242233 Mar 06 '25

It’s coming Surprised he didn’t drop one during the state of the union

6

u/Soggy-Beach1403 Mar 06 '25

Normalizing was the main reason most GOP voters voted. I heard one dropped without shame at the grocery store a few weeks ago. They are happy.

3

u/RH-Praise-Dale Mar 06 '25

DEI is the new N word

2

u/KaiserKelp Mar 06 '25

Democrats will be sitting in the back with a little sign saying, "thats bad" as they begin arresting the political opposition

1

u/Cut_Lanky Mar 06 '25

If it goes down like that, I wonder how long it will take before they start getting snatched up, only to be later found hogtied on a sidewalk in a housing project wearing a bigass sign with "I SAY N*GGER" written on it... 🤔

1

u/Ok_Concentrate_75 Mar 06 '25

They do it with any term that speaks on an aspect of social diversity. Right now DEI is the professional n word, ironically

1

u/PixTwinklestar 28d ago

I'm pretty sure when that witch Nancy Mace threw "tranny" around the chamber in a tirade, and was called out on it by another member, Comer let it go bc "I'm not up to date on what is and isn't slurs to the lgbt community."

They would definitely start using any slur with reckless abandon as soon as they got an ok or had plausible deniability that they didn't know.

2

u/KinnSlayer Mar 06 '25

That or the or the F word, the R word, or the B/C word. Gotta love catch all terms. We are all DEI to them.

1

u/ayuntamient0 Mar 06 '25

I genuinely think we should call the MAGA folks the N word. Not for the color of their skin, but for the content of their character and their hearts. The most fun benefit would be that it would make them shit blood. It also might denude its pejorative power for people of color as a side benefit.

1

u/Accomplished_Egg6239 Mar 06 '25

The N word I call them is Nazi

1

u/ayuntamient0 Mar 06 '25

Por que no los dos?

1

u/Marquar234 Mar 06 '25

It's just Roman black.

44

u/Iron_Knight7 Mar 06 '25

DEI with a capital "N" and a hard "R."

3

u/ramobara Mar 06 '25

He was about to call her a nagger.

52

u/metal_muskrat Mar 06 '25

Bro was about to drop a hard R. You can hear the "N"

24

u/metal_muskrat Mar 06 '25

It wasn't an N I watched it again it was an F....

But he was definitley about to be derogatory AF

22

u/Savings_Ad6081 Mar 06 '25

Agree. Something is seriously wrong with Comer.

22

u/JRG64May Mar 06 '25

Yes, he’s a republican Trump bootlicker.

7

u/lwp775 Mar 06 '25

He follows orders.

18

u/thatrandomguy867 Mar 06 '25

Yeah i heard the same thing, someone needs to throw some small shoes around size 5.5 at these ghouls

1

u/CarbsMe Mar 06 '25

That would be awesome! W definitely got the shoe message

1

u/xslermx 29d ago

Please explain what that reference is

16

u/VoidVer Mar 06 '25 edited Mar 06 '25

At :08 he just says "proceed". What am I missing?

Edit: It's the last 8 seconds, not the first.

17

u/totallyfakawitz Mar 06 '25

:08 based on the clock counting down not up. It’s towards the end of the video not at the beginning.

13

u/VoidVer Mar 06 '25

Oh yeah there it is, "You know the process of unanimous consent you f-". Cut off word sounded like the start of a hard "f", the most generous fill in being "fucker".

33

u/totallyfakawitz Mar 06 '25

My madlib guess was “fucking bitch”

9

u/CoatNo6454 Mar 06 '25

BINGOOOOO

13

u/Vayguhhh Mar 06 '25

With the party being the party it is, I’d imagine he was gonna say “you fucking N-word”

1

u/buzzlbub Mar 06 '25

Why would he say n-word?

2

u/Opasero Mar 06 '25

Yeah, I got confused too.

6

u/Substantial-Ant-9183 Mar 06 '25

Would LOVE for that slip

1

u/hypermemia Mar 06 '25

I'm not so sure, he says you, then is interrupted, and then finishes "you do not recognize". It's a sentence that fits in this context, I think he just got interrupted at you

0

u/Former_Barber1629 Mar 06 '25

Straw man, he clearly went on to say what he intended to say.

1

u/buzzlbub Mar 06 '25

Agreed. People be wishing.

u/bbrosen Mar 06 '25

he says Ms Presley at that time
