It never should have been translated as “retarded” since there basically can’t be a word in Persian that means what that means in English, it’s too culturally loaded.
Still, the correct translation given in the article is basically the same thing without using a pejorative term, isn’t it? I don’t see how it isn’t equally insulting.
Under the circumstances, I think it is safe to say it was meant to be insulting, so, maybe?

As I’ve said before, accountability is for suckers. And Democrats; but then, I repeat myself.
First of all, fuck this guy with his own steel-and-barbed-wire border fence.
Second, what the hell is “slavedom”, besides possibly an ugly kind of fetish porn that he’s obviously completely into?
He somehow got even worse.
Also, Trump has had undocumented workers in his businesses.

Kellyanne Conway is getting a subpoena.
I don’t know how many more existential gut punches I can take before I lose my mind.
Hell yeah. Good job, SCOTUS.
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK, SCOTUS??!!!?!
The Presidential Appointee Accountability Act would empower OSC to hold senior political appointees accountable by:
- Expanding the Office of Special Counsel’s (OSC) authority to pursue accountability for Hatch Act violations against high-level presidential appointees before the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) without running afoul of the Appointments Clause;
- Permitting the MSPB to impose a fine of up to $10,000 per Hatch Act violation;
- Requiring OSC to provide the President a written complaint outlining appointee Hatch Act violation(s) and recommended remedies, up to and including termination, and to make such statement available to the public; and
- Requiring the President to issue a public response within 30 days explaining whether he or she will follow the recommendation, and if not, providing an explanation for their lack of response.
The last time I felt this pessimistic about the future was November 9, 2016.
Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Thomas have got to go. I’m sending them an all-expenses paid trip to a sausage factory in the hope that they will “accidentally” fall into an industrial meat grinder, be made into ballpark franks, and be eaten and shit out by red-blooded 'Muricans attending the 2019 World Series.
The bill to empower the MSPB allows a $10,000 fine and a “recommendation” to their boss? What’s the current punishment, a back massage and a kiss good night? Jesus.
