Donald Trump's foul mouth is just a cover for his ignorance

...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. I don't really give a damn.

Win or lose, Trump has brought the language and sensibilities of cable TV to presidential politics...

That’s good. It is not playing well here in Utah, I’m thinking.

It's certainly not out of the realm of possibility that some of these posters are paid trolls. Because it's a known fact that the Russians have people working internet sites like this one

Thanks for the information. Do you have a list of those you suspect of working with the Russians on this site?

The Country landed in the crap house through aristocratic deceit.

jospehm20,

Thank you VERY much for a cogent reply.

Understand that a response is necessary!!!

What is being attempted is to bring respect into those responses. (I am MORE human than any one I know.) It is hard for me to respond in a respectful manner to an attack. But it is needed. I am calling me to account in this post as much as anyone else!!! I ask if you see my response as being not respectful, please remind me to this post. (I hope and pray my response will be respectful to that reminder! LOL!!) But it is said in all honesty.

Have seen the "They did it first!" in many posts. If we can be respectful to each other, especially to each other it would be in my view a lot better.

When my Lady was alive she used to be critical every once in awhile. (Not me I was and am perfect!!! . I would respond, every occasionally that the world I worked in was a very demoralizing situation and that when I came home I needed building up, not cut down to size. That happened too much outside the home. (No did not always respond that way, just occasionally!!!!)

To me Freerepublic has been home and would like to see us attack, respond to each other with respect. It has been said, "A kind answer turns away wrath or anger." (Paraphrased!) Or my version of the quote.

Again thank you for your response, it is appreciated!!!

Take care.........pilgrim

LOL!! In reviewing the post all html breaks and stuff vanished.

I'm surprised he didn't drag her up on stage and give her the microphone.

True. Given his and his followers' propensity for vulgarity, it's truly a wonder that he didn't do that. As they say, smarmy is as smarmy does.

Why? What difference would it make? Besides, it wouldn’t be much more than a guess on my part anyway. And it’s not all that important if they are being paid or not, or otherwise actually working for the Russians.

[Lopeover]

You vote for your Rinos! I will vote for Trump!

[TerrisFriend]

Your question reflects your own values. I would rather be Ted Cruz 1,000 times over than to be Donald Trump! Ted Cruz is not perfect but I have no doubt whatsoever that he knows the source of true happiness, Jesus Christ. A personal relationship with Jesus Christ is the only way to everlasting life. Having that relationship is vastly more important than the source of Trump’s happiness, his earthly wealth, power and fame.

[r_barton]

Many Cruz supporters are religious bigots that try to use God to shame others into submission. A tactic that has been used before by nuts and tyrants. Good luck with that.

Patton used profanity so his soldiers would remember what he said.

[Finalapproach29er]

Like Antebellum south ladies, they have a case of the vapors!
lmao

[onyx]

LOL.
Yes, indeed.

[American in Israel]

Actually his foul mouth uncovers his ignorance.

[r_barton]

That’s probably how Donald Trump got rich. From the money in his cuss jar. ;-)

[tdscpa]

Why don’t you spell the word instead of using an asterisk?

[Gator113]

Well said.

It isn’t a curse word as long as a Woman says it.

However, it is a curse word if a Man repeats it right after a Woman says it.

The only exception is if Goldfinger or James Bond says it.

Tempest in a Teapot #???. I think I’ve lost count.

[Heart of Georgia]

He’s always been in the #2 spot for me, as an outsider, taking it to the establishment, but I literally cringed at this. It’s one thing to be vulgar, if that’s something he enjoys, fine...

The thing is, it was the way he joined right in there with one of his supporters and gleefully snickered at another human being in that way, where all the world will be watching on youtube now.

Pathetic.

[Impy]

Every one of them cusses in private. Kasich has an extremely foul mouth or so I’ve heard. His dad should have washed it out with some mail from a soap company.

[maine-iac7]

LOL! Easterners swear like pirates! Seriously.

Wish you guys would slow down a bit on the blanket-'profiling' of 'easterners - least wise up here in Maine.

My family's been here just 4 yrs short of 400 years. I grew up on a farm with my Grampa - a 6'4" Maine guide - Same for Uncles, cousins - Guides, Wardens, woodsmen, hunters, fishermen, School superintendent teachers, military -

Never heard one of 'em use foul language - least wise around us womenfolk - nor in public or mixed company. It's crude.

I raised my 4 sons and daughter with the principal that people who use foul language do so because they don't have the intellect - or respect - to use proper words.

As to us 'easterners' up here in Maine - we've been heavily overrun by liberal flatlanders from Mass. and NY.
