      Use the p then

      • trump - A suit in card games that outranks all other suits for the duration of a hand.

      • pi - A transcendental number, approximately 3.14159, represented by the symbol π, that expresses the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of a circle and appears as a constant in many mathematical expressions

      • is - The third person singular of the substantive verb be, in the indicative mood, present tense

      • sap - The watery fluid that circulates through a plant, carrying food and other substances to the various tissues

      • Rapist - One who commits the crime of rape (e.g. Donald Trump)


      Edit - even with the c

      • Sac - A pouch or pouchlike structure in an organism, sometimes filled with fluid.

      A person who believes a particular race is superior to others (e.g. Donald Trump)

          I don’t know what version of Scrabble you play, but I’ve never seen a directive for how to read out sentences that happen to show up on a Scrabble board. Feel free to point them out to me.

              I don’t know, looks like I pissed a bunch of people off and probably gained another few people who hate me when I didn’t think what I said was anything but just playing along, so it sounds like a pretty typical day.

                ok well, so you know, you came off as pretty sassy and oddly defensive

                i relate to having my attitude misunderstood though

                  It’s a good day when only one or two people tell me what a horrible, worthless person I am (I guess three if you include myself), so I guess this is one of the occasional good ones.

                  Edit: Come to think of it, there are no good ones and if I didn’t have real world responsibilities, I don’t know that I would want to keep existing.

    “Unless we do something about this, my children are going to grow up in a jungle, the jungle being a racial jungle with tensions having built so high that it is going to explode at some point.” —Joe Biden, 1977

    This quote is accurate and has been verified. Biden was expressing concerns about busing as a means of desegregation.

      Do you think he may have possibly changed his views on such things in the intervening half-century?

      Robert Byrd started in the KKK and died a champion of civil rights, endorsed by the NAACP.

        In 2020, during a radio interview, Biden said “if you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black”

        Also in 2020, Biden stated that "unlike the African American community, with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community with incredibly different attitudes about different things

          You have different kinds of racism, Joe is the old uncle who means well but isn’t all that bright. The thing is, he updates his view unlike your other uncle, Don, who is more concerned with updating their library of racist jokes.

          Crazy to think both were adults during segregation.

        “_M” is the only one that’s bad as far as I can tell.

        “AS” bottom-up is probably fine? I don’t know the rules. The words it could turn into by adding “racist” or “rapist” would be valid words, “sac” and “sap”.

          _M has a tile above it, meaning this can be anything. There are plenty of words that end in _m.

          Scam, scum, slum, plum, trim, tram,

          The only bad one is SA

            I was going to say that Trump, being a proper name, isn’t a word, but my brain rebooted and I remembered that Trump is absolutely a word.

              That’s my favorite challenge bait tactic. If you challenge an opponent’s word and you’re wrong, you lose your turn, so if you want to be an asshole, play a word that exists as an obscure but valid word, but is much more well known as a proper name. Mike (alternate spelling of mic), Jenny (female donkey), Japan (a type of varnish), etc. They challenge, it’s in the dictionary, you get to give the opponent a smug grin, and they probably won’t want to play Scrabble with you anymore but you just got a major advantage.

              If they get used to your tricks, just bullshit them with names that they “know better than to challenge now”. It’s entirely legal to intentionally play fake words, they’re just vulnerable to being challenged.

              Of course if you’re playing against someone who’s actually competitive at Scrabble they’ve probably dedicated time to studying challenge bait and would see right through you, it’s a legit part of the game at a high level so they’d be prepared.

            Yes, however neither of those words are complete on the board yet. That’s fine if one of them were in the process of being played, but they’re not. Rapist/racist is in the middle of being played, meaning that the previous turn ended with just “sa” on the board, which is not a valid word.

                I don’t think you understand what I’m saying. I’m saying it is impossible for the board to ever look like this during a real game of Scrabble, even if someone is in the middle of their turn.
