Aside from Trump issues, why did Flake defend Cuba for attacking our diplomats? I think he’s a secret leftist, or just a misguided fool.

FR has resisted the gravitational pull of profanity all these years. Now because Dick Durbin (Democrat, and documented liar) publicly puts a pottymouth expression in President Trump’s mouth, allofasudden that expression becomes mainstream lingo on FR???

I object. I know it’s an uphill battle, but I object. Where do I send my complaint to the FCC?

Haiti has a murder rate of over 100 per 100,000. I don’t think any major U.S. City is that bad. Haiti sounds like a hell hole.

What is wrong with voters in Arizona? They are the same as anyone else. As we saw in Alabama, big money buys elections.

They operate on three fronts. First there is denigration and smear of opponents. On the second front are big money advertisements with lies about the Democrat/RINO who is presented as a staunch conservative. Election fraud is the baby that makes three.

. . . OR maybe you can realize we’re all adults, living in the 21st century, and that strong words exist to express strong emotions.

“”OR maybe you can realize we’re all adults, living in the 21st century, and that strong words exist to express strong emotions””

Are you kidding!! No thanks. We should give in to the lack of decency on the part of all the creeps in the country because it’s a different world? I’m assuming it’s nothing new for some “adults”...Moderators at FR need to monitor a lot of postings more carefully as it’s getting out of hand.

how does a single state end up electing the likes of John McCain and Jeff Flake to be its senators?

Universities,transplanted Californians and 'illegals' that's how.

In a private meeting in the Oval Office, President Trump allegedly uses the term “shithole countries” to describe countries that are, let’s face it, shitholes;

If the poo fits......

IMO, Flake’s IQ is nowhere near 3 digits.

Precisely, as in the previous eight years, or the current “russia stole the election with trump’s help” investigation.

. . . OR maybe you can realize we’re all adults, living in the 21st century, and that strong words exist to express strong emotions.
Years ago after a Sunday School picnic which we had hosted for our little church, I was informed by my wife of two statements by our daughters. An argument had broken out between two people, and our younger daughter remarked to the pastor that “I never heard adults argue before.” And our oldest had remarked to the pastor, “I don’t think Dad knows what ‘PO’d’ means.”

When next I saw the pastor, I remarked that in case he was under any illusions about that last statement being true, I had been on a high school football team. And just being in high school would by itself have been quite sufficient, thank you very much.

The claim by Durbin that Mr. Trump had used a pottymouth word to denigrate foreign countries, in and of itself, compromises the international influence of the United States and thus runs counter to the very raison d'être of the US government. Note well, that is true irrespective of the truth - or more likely IMHO the absence thereof - of Durbin’s claim. The claim will likely never be adjudicated, except in the sense that journalists propose to do so by “arguing beyond the sale” of its taken-for-granted “truth.” Durbin had an obvious motive in making the claim. And in doing so he counted on, and got, the support of the sub rosa Democrats of national journalism.

The FCC has rules against the use of that sort of language, and neither an individual senator alone, nor broadcast journalists be they never so unified in supporting such senator, have the authority to abrogate those rules. And as far as I am concerned, Jim Robinson has always been right in his decision to enforce, at least approximately, those same rules on FR. That is not to suggest that I am under any illusions that the language in question is not understood by Mr. Trump, or indeed by any and all readers of this forum. It is a matter of traditional societal norms - and thus of class and good taste.

Why don’t you just grow up and stop trying control what people say on a public discussion board? If it bothers you, go away.

Meanwhile, California continues its devolution into America’s first third-world state. The government announced on Friday that the Golden State now sports the highest poverty rate in the nation. Yep, that’s higher than Mississippi, higher than Arkansas, higher than all 49 other states. That Jerry Brown and his Marxist policies sure have done a world of good, huh

What is that equality thing they whine about all the time?.
