...In real life, expletives are often used as a form of aggression or cruelty. A co-worker who tells you to Trump yourself is usually being unpleasant. A co-worker who does this every day is often creating a hostile or demeaning work environment. Language suitable for decent company is a form of politeness, which is a species of respect, which is an expression of morality. And if I am the last holdout on this issue, so be it.

That’s Trump in a nutshell.
LOL! Easterners swear like pirates! Seriously.
I’m for Trump because of immigration and trade and foreign policy, but I REALLY don’t like his crudity
LoL WaPo is sooooo offended.
Sure. Ignorant people build real estate empires while the smart ones become columnists for the Washington Post.
Much more of this and the pc police will be back with a vengeance using Trump is their mascot. All the progress against the pc police will unravel and we may end up worse off. Lovely.

I will take someone with some salty language over a career criminal who has committed high treason any day. FUWP!
You Putinistas must ping each other privately before posting a thread.
Trump only respects money. He uses people to get power, as tyrants throughout history have done. No thanks. We’ve had an egomaniac for eight years, and we don’t want another.
It didn’t ping anyone to this thread.
You wouldn’t believe one of my sentences when I’m angry if you heard it.
Why lie?
Staten Island here and in a good rage, they can account for maybe 60 percent of my sentence lol.
just look at all the ####s I have to use on this board lol.
Aright, i’m at work and have to get back to my ######ing ##### #### of a job :)
Yeah he chastised the women who brought it up today.
Remind me please, what progress against the PC police has taken place? We can’t even put up a banner to acknowledge and celebrate the Chinese New Year because it’s a flippin monkey!
We are a nation of thin skinned babies, imho.
What about the established ruling cabal in America should be shown this respect he mentions?
Win or lose, Trump has brought the language and sensibilities of cable TV to presidential politics.
Duh. Donald's a TV star. Newspaper guys like you always told me how important TV is in all elections.
