In reply to the discussion: My husband calls him Corleone. [View all]MineralMan
(146,315 posts)20. It's a matter of coincidence that Tony the Tongue
has an Italian name. Whether it's the Mafia or the Russian Mob, Trump is surrounding himself with goombahs and droogies. If his name was Scarmuchov, I'd be making jokes about the Russian Mob. As it happens, the guy's got the name of a clown in a commedia dell'arte farce. He is a little "silhouetto of a man." He's Scaramouche. His name is synonymous with a classic, farcical clown. I've also made jokes about him dancing the Fandango, for pete's sake. I will continue to mock him in any way I choose. He's a piece of shit used car salesman (POSUCS) as well. He's a skinny, little, fast-talking, stereotypical con man, too.
Some of the better known commedia dell'arte characters are Pierrot and Pierrette, Pantalone, Il Dottore, Brighella, Il Capitano, Colombina, the innamorati, Pedrolino, Pulcinella, Sandrone, Scaramuccia (also known as Scaramouche), La Signora, and Tartaglia

He's a consummate slimeball who is now acting as the mouthpiece for the worst President this country has ever seen.
I'm truly sorry if I have offended you in any way, but I'm talking about someone else, not you. I don't know you at all. Perhaps I will know you better after some time has passed. I'm talking about Trump's new Minister of Truth, Director of Newspeak and Chief Jester. You can count on me to continue to do so.

Uh, its not racism. Italian is an ethnicity or a nationality, not a race.

300 Black people died in Greenwood. Are you trying to claim New Orleans was worse for Sicilians?

Right. He's much like Jared and Ivanka in that way: well-polished, well-spoken, attractive...

This thread is sad. I thought that posters on a liberal site wouldn't fall for ethnic stereotypes
