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...

I meant that since most if not all of the first posters to this thread just happened to be big fans of KGB/FSB Putin (also Trump), that it looked like there might be some kind of coordination going on.

Trump would feel right at home on DU.

[AmericanVictory]

Yes, of course, unlike, let us say, “Give ‘em hell Harry.”

[Psalm 144]

“You Putinistas must ping each other privately before posting a thread.”

Have you tried cold compresses around your head? It might work for fevered imaginations.

[blackdog]

Like Hillary calling people “Fu#$!g Jew Bastard?” if they hand her a bill for services she contracted for?

Julie Newmar as Cat Woman

The other Cat Woman wasn’t bad either, Eartha Kitt

I was stating a fact based on personal experience. Being a left coasty, I find that northeasterners swear s great deal more and in their general speech, not just when mad.

Kiss my grits, oh ye of vaunted mental and moral superiority.

That’s been my experience in life. Cussing is a bully’s weapon.

Cruz hesitated on his answer because I guess how something sounds or is deemed politically correct is more important than the truth of what he believes. Or even worse, he doesn't know what he really believes or would do.

[Psalm 144]

LOL!

[huldah1776]

I thought it didn’t matter what you did in your own house but it does matter what you do in public.

There goes the neighborhood.

[Salvation]

I don’t think Trump is ignorant at all.

[pilgrim]

Would you call your mother one?

[ETL]

I know who is and who isn’t a Putin butt kisser. It’s pretty obvious. You of course are one yourself. Why you slime balls are allowed to remain on this site to do what you do is a mystery.

I know Pussy Galore. Pussy is a friend of mine. Ted Cruze is no Pussy Galore.

[Psalm 144]

“I meant that since most if not all of the first posters to this thread just happened to be big fans of KGB/FSB Putin (also Trump), that it looked like there might be some kind of coordination going on.”

A True Patriot who was more than a keyboard commando and who was actually smart enough to figure itt out, would design a flow chart to show what happened and post the image.

[PJBankard]

No I wouldn’t because she isn’t one.

[Psalm 144]

In the immortal words of Ronald Reagan, there you go again.

[Chode]

And if I am the last holdout on this issue, so be it. I don't really give a damn.

ohhhh, so it's the degree of swearing it's opposed to then

the WaPo never struck me as a moral authority anyway
