The FBI has no sense of humor.
I hate it when the FBI knocks on my door or serves me a subpoena. Please spare me and maybe yourself from this very unpleasant experience.
Well stated and well timed.
Thank you.
My point is that Cancel Culture is hunting Conservatives and Trump supporters from all walks of life. Conservatives need to guard their statements so that they can’t be twisted and FR shut down as being dangerous and fomenting violence.
Reading you 5X5.
OK, but can we threaten to send them to their rooms without supper?
That’s what they all say ;)
Guess I’ll need to brush up on my Spanish and French “colorful language.”
We are simulation. Thanks!
LOL! I second that motion!
Why, you dirty son-of-a-Mitt!
He’s so full of Mitt!
It’s a really Mitty situation!
You would win a bet with if you said this site is being monitored. Given the focus by the DOJ in tracking people who might have been in DC on the 6th I would bet good money the are looking at ALL sites that contain certain language,expressed views,etc.
If any poster here said they were going to DC I won’t be surprised if they get a visit.
We will be living in interesting times to say the least.
The S word has been part of the English language for centuries and only became ‘vulgar’ as a result of snobbery and prudery. As soon as rich folks could afford to have private throne rooms, bottom humour became fashionably impolite. Everybody knew what S was, but they weren’t allowed to use it in polite company.
Many a monocle was dropped, and many a pearl clutched, at a bon mot of the bot.
It’s the earliest example of political correctness gone mad, basically. Down with that sort of thing! (Careful now.)
PS: in defense of the beauty of a well crafted bodily function, I nominate
1. Samuel Johnson’s dictionary illustrated the meaning of “fart” with this poem by Sir John Suckling:
Love is the fart
Of every heart;
It pains a man when ’tis kept close;
And others doth offend, when ’tis let loose.
2. Samuel Pepys, wry diary entry 1660: “...and going down into my cellar to look, I put my foot into a great heap of turds, by which I find that Mr Turner’s house of office is full and comes into my cellar, which doth trouble me...”.
“House of office” = “next door neighbor’s sh@#t falling into my home”. Literally. Hence political office = cesspool.
Your gaff, your rules. I’m with Chaucer, Pepys, and Cousin Eddie. Turd talk is honest.
What’s missing from the use of “s@#t” is the dry and ageless wit.
Sad we have to tell seemingly adults any of that. Thank you Jim for all you do.
And wipe your obama?
You joined this month.....
.....your name calling quote is unacceptable
I think you’re a troll
Funny, but the more I think about it, the more it rubs me the wrong way. I’ll just avoid posting when I think only an impolite word would best express the thought.
Bump.
Don’t be silly.
We have been through this before.Guard our forum.If you see bad guys hit abuse-easy.
