...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...

Not even his photos?
"In the footage, Putin, 53, is shown walking up to a small crowd of tourists in a Kremlin courtyard and crouching down in front of the boy, who appears to be five or six years old. As the Russian president talks with Nikita for several seconds, he tugs at the boy's shirt before finally lifting it up and kissing him on his bare stomach.
"He seemed to me very independent, very serious, but at the same time a boy is always vulnerable. He was very sweet. I'll be honest: I felt an urge to squeeze him like a kitten, and that led to the gesture that I made. There was nothing behind it really," Putin said, smiling.
I guess, I’m one of them. I implied it as any of its definitions.
I’ll tell you what a ‘species of disrespect’ is, its flooding my town, state and Country with third worlders. Cursing is not a big concern of mine.
Could I have a show of hands of posters who have used the term or would use it to describe someone to their Mother?
A yes or no will do. For one I would not
Why?
RESPECT and we seem to have lost it in our response to others here.
A wise Freeper once stated the following:
The closest thing to a universal truth that I have found is that people respond to being treated with respect.
It is sad that there is a lack of respect for OURSELVES and others here!!!
I believe it is called a raspberry.
I love Trump but sometimes I wonder if he takes this as seriously as the rest of us. This stuff makes it hard to get volunteers to work in a phone bank or knock doors. Trump basically knows nothing about campaigning. Nothing. I’ve done it a lot.
It’s sad. Trump is an authentic patriotic man who has a lot of potential, but television in some ways, gives him the wrong feedback.
If he does not pull it together he will never be able to get enough people in his corner. He is getting lousy or no advice, I am convinced.
You still haven’t answered my question about why you would monitor some guy’s butt.
Once more.
A question do you think Mr. Trump is a proud man?
Surrrre he did. That's why he had her repeat it several times.
Glad I came across your post. I actually am like you, I’m for Trump because he get’s it on things others didn’t. But there are things about me that makes me wonder and go “hmmmmm.” I’d like it much better if he could get his point across without getting vulgar.
Sure, because ignorant people become billionaires all the time. Hey, anyone can do it.
Seriously, the Washington Compost!? Sure, they’re impartial. They don’t have a dog (maybe a hag though) in this hunt.
They don’t want the apple cart upset anymore than all the other whores in DC.
He has said that there are not a lot of people he respects.
Suspect that is one reason.
The culture has become vulgarized, it’s part of the big problem of American society.
Not being vulgar is not fighting PC; it’s contributing to the degradation.
Are we sure they're not Russian spies?
Edit: Misquoted!!!
States they are “not worthy of respect.”
In the south we are not as Provential as you might think. Trumps rallies have been order of magnitude more impressive and enthusiastic than Cruz’s.
Another PC press nitwit chimes in with a complaint. Their real complaint is they can’t cow Trump like they can most every politician on the Right. He fights back. That disturbs them and it defeats the only power they have over politicians on the Right.
Trump made SURE that everybody in the audience knew what she said and when some still didn't hear he repeated it himself. You're not a fool, are you? Because I'm sure not.
