“JD Vance full on potty mouth discovered at 52:07”
Ex-military here. I’m impressed by his self-control. Not sure my Baptist pastor would be, but he puts up with me. So I think he’ll cut JD some slack.
BTW - I don’t ADMIRE cussing, but it is a much easier habit to start than to quit.
He learned it as a child, from his GRANDMOTHER. I think we're just going to have to tolerate it.
There’s a lot to that: I worked installing and maintaining audio equipment in bars, nightclubs, etc., for many years, and that stuff (cursing) creeps in...
Still, I worked in professional settings for many years after that, many meetings and such, and I don’t think more than one “damn” or “crap” ever slipped out. Talking @ church and such? Never, though I’ve had to choke off a couple.
Whack my shin on the trailer hitch I forgot was still on our Tahoe and put a good gash and bruise on my leg? Well, yeah, I can turn the air blue with the “best” of ‘em.
The Rogan Show is supposed to be a quite relaxed, conversational setting, so I sort of understand the occasional bad word. OTOH, this appearance is also a job interview in front of many millions of voters - you want to put your absolute best foot forward.
In this particular instance (52:07) “f******” conversation doesn’t convey anything more than if JD had said “freaking”, except a lack of self control.
I can better understand President Trump at the Green Bay rally relating his thought of “oh shit!” in describing his reaction when he saw the height of the step into the garbage truck. There, he is just honestly conveying the intensity of his apprehension, and I’m ok with that honesty. In the retelling, “Oh shoot” would be, for lack of a better way to put it, less honest.
in any event, on a 100 point scale to “grade” JD’s interview, the language here is only a couple tenths of a point deduction, IMO, and that’s mostly because the foul language distracts AWAY from the point of his joke.
For the most part, JD did very well. He is very “personable” in a very unforced way.
