“_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

They’re both words but it’s irrelevant because “sa” is not a word, so this could never happen in a real game.

Standard scrabble ruls require words be valid when read left to right or top to bottom.

If you were a player with known good two-letter word knowledge, playing someone without, you might try it as a bluff knowing you may go unchallenged

“Sa” is an Egyptian hieroglyph meaning “protection”, an Arabic measure of volume, a type of Mandaean sacramental bread that is rolled up, and a character in the Javanese script.

Cool! It’s not a valid Scrabble word unfortunately, but I’ll try to remember that next time I’m in Mandaea.

You could argue that it’s a descriptive of the Javanese character. But someone would come back with that being a proper noun for the character, and that would force a table vote. Which descriptive would win because the other players would see the obvious chance for a double-triple.

This scrabble-scribble has got layers.

“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?

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

He is correct about both things. Trump hates black people, so you are a traitor to your race if you vote for him, and the black community’s culture is based on American culture while Latino culture is based on the cultures of countries across the Americas and the Caribbean.

I mean the second one is just objectively true, the black community tends to vote as a bloc while latine communities can vary in a variety of ways because they’re basically as diverse as the rest of the US as a whole is. Even from within the same country of origin there can be significant splits in opinion, northern and southern mexicans pretty frequently vote for different parties, because northern mexicans tend to be from longer established communities and families while southern mexicans tend to be much more recent newcomers.

Meanwhile the split in the black community is mostly just some dudes who got sucked into the manosphere and literally everyone else facepalming at their bullshit.

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.

If you accept that ‘rapist’ and ‘racist’ both apply to Trump, I’d say it’s a pretty good meme.

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.

For a person to be in the position depicted the word would have had to be “sa” which I don’t believe is a word. But you can play words that aren’t words in Scrabble as long as no one challenges you. But it’s also an incredibly bad choice of a word, setting up an opponent for a triple like that.

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)
