Well the gloves are off and it's about fucking time:

[PCIntern]

Since Orangina used the word “fucking” in his shitpost on Lie Social, MSNOW has gone over the top using profanity.

And I couldn’t be happier: it is about fucking time that we got MAD AS HELL and stopped pussyfooting around with these motherfuckers who are trying to destroy the whole goddamned country. I have said for ten fucking years that the Republican candidates for President stood there and smiled like stupid bastards while the shithead was destroying their records, their families, and their wives looks, for Chrissake. If only one had opened his or her mouth and let him have it both barrels he would have been decimated.

As Rocky Balboa said to Clubber Lang “Go for it”.

[senseandsensibility]

1. Didn't the NYT actually have the nerve to write some scolding story

about how the Dems are using too much profanity? Just a couple of days ago? I mean, after trump's infamous Easter message with the F-bomb? I thought I saw something about that.

[PCIntern]

2. They are the fucking worst

I was related by marriage to one of their executives and posted my story about him some time ago. He was an officious prick.

[BattleRow]

12. Officious prick you say?

And THAT was just ONE of his more endearing qualities...

[paleotn]

21. Fuck them.

[CountAllVotes]

3. why not add the word FUCK to the dictionary?

Everywhere I read and listen, every one is saying the word FUCK now.

Is this appropriate now?

I can remember the day I'd be confined to my room if I used this type of language.

I guess it is just AOK these days.

[PCIntern]

5. Your President thinks so...

So who am I to contradict that stable genius?

[CountAllVotes]

9. He makes me so sick!

[mr715]

7. Oh Jesus Fucking Christ...

... sorry... I had to

[calimary]

27. Make that A-O-Fuckin'-K!

[Wounded Bear]

28. Last I looked "fuck" was in all of the high end dictionaries...

the kind you would see in college level libraries. Not necessarily in more "children" oriented editions.

[buzzycrumbhunger]

47. I think it's been okay for ages, actually...

Ooops… or not. I saved this video on youtube ages ago and it seems it’s now age-restricted. Bullshit! Such a versatile word!

?si=wJNP523mL9zkOyVR

[vapor2]

50. Can't help but use it for the destruction this maniac is doing to all of us

[radical noodle]

52. Fuck is in many dictionaries

Just FYI

[travelingthrulife]

61. I play a word game and I find it so annoying that naughty words don't count.

[mwmisses4289]

64. Been using that and its variations for years, lol.

[ColoringFool]

77. I Hear You, I Agree With Your Stance, But Alas, It IS In The Dictionary.....

Since I taught in the 70s!

But yeah, just one more example of the degradation and coarseness wrought and "normalized" by Trump upon the United States.

My hatred for him extends beyond the known Universe.

[ShazzieB]

78. I'm pretty sure it's been in the dictionary for a while, lol.

But I know what you mean about how it's being used more and more often these days, not just in casual conversation, but in situations where you wouldn't expect it to pop up.

Appropriate is a subjective term, imo. The way I look at it, words are just words. Humans make them up, humans determine what meaning to ascribAll that said, I do agree that the word seems much more out of place in some contexts (like the president's tweets!) than others, and it can be jarring (even to me) to encounter it unexpectedly in done of those contexts. e to them, and how much they upset us is also up to us, imo. That said, I do agree that the word seems much more out of place in some contexts (like the president's tweets!) than others, and it can be jarring (even to me) to encounter it unexpectedly in done of those contexts.

At DU, where we're often discussing the latest horrible thing(s) Schlump has done, I often find myself resorting to the f word and its derivatives (f***ing, f***er/y, as f***, etc.) because it's gotten really hard to find other words that are strong enough to express how I'm feeling. I do have a much more extensive vocabulary, but there's nothing else that expresses the full extent of my loathing and contempt for that Orange Hellbeast tne way the f word does. I'm sorry if that offends anyone, but it seems to be something I almost can't help doing these days. I know some of my recent posts have been pretty liberally laced with it, but that is a reflection of how distraught I was when I made thise posts.

Unfortunately, Schlump has reached a stage in his dementia where he is losing his impulse control and his ability to filter his thoughts before they come out of his mouth. He's always been a vile, despicable person, but he used to be able to behave in a way that concealed his worst qualities, especially when speaking publicly. He can still do that sometimes, but those times are getting fewer and farther between and will eventually be nonexistent. I'm afraid we're going to see more and more posts that are laced with cuss words from him, more and more disjointed and nonsensical "speeches," and more and more incidents where he calls someone "Piggy" (or worse), until he loses his verbal communication abilities completely. I just hope he's out of office before he gets to that point, because it's not going to be pretty,

[Goonch]

[usonian]

6. Dear PCIntern, it's Sunday!

Yes. I know.

I am reminded of a joke I read about Arthur Marx. Can't find it right now.

He was asking an uncle for sugar.

"Pass the sugar, you sun of a bitch"

Father Groucho had to remind him of his manners.
After being duly admonished, Arthur asked politely:

"PLEASE pass the sugar, you son of a bitch"



That said, in proper Bostonian: Screw these bastids to hell.

I do miss Boston, but not the weather, as a lightning storm runs through the Sierra Nevada foothills, bouncing electrical power up and down. Three times lately.

I am typing as fast as I can. (POST RIGHT THIS INSTANT)

[usonian]

60. I learned from my grandmother. (Slightly off-topic)

When I feel like yelling JE*** CH****.

I remember her saying Gesu Cristo Aiutomi.

Jesus help me!

I am not very religious (It's Monday, The F-Word Lamp is lit. ) but I am respectful.


Besides, everyone knows that a preposition is bad to end a sentence with!

[mwmisses4289]

65. Grammar rules are made to be broken!

[SCantiGOP]

66. Absolutely right

Ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I will not put.

[usonian]

72. That's easy for you to say!

[Skittles]

8. I've said it many times regarding profanity

it is AMAZING what offends some people and what does not.........

[MLWR]

15. I'm long past finding the "traditional" "swear words" offensive.

What I do find offensive is racial, religious and ethnic slurs.

[Skittles]

35. ?

I see those as two entirely different things.

[paleotn]

22. This. 1000%

[Boomerproud]

10. It's lost its shock value.

[CountAllVotes]

11. It does not shock me

It is plain inappropriate.

I'm listening to some woman on MSNBC and every other word is FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK.

This is indicative of a poorly educated individual that lacks the ability to state what they think they are addressing.

It reeks of stupidity and yes, exactly, the SHOCK value of it has worn off!

It is plain stupid now. STUPID!

[efhmc]

14. I so agree.

[WizumbODaSage]

16. It Works for Trump Because Lowered Standards Give Him More Running Room

...but context is STILL important. Trump lovers like how he smashes boundaries but this really won't work for DEMS... not for journalists, not for Chris Murphy. They will still play a double standard. I get that people are angry and fed up but ultimately the ADULT still has the upper hand and expressing yourself as a mature adult should be the USUAL way to express ourselves .. though alone in front of the TV is a free fire zone!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[CountAllVotes]

17. I am able to watch MSNBC online

I do not have cable TV and I do not have a phone.

I find it here: https://usnewson.com/watch/msnbc-live

[liberalla]

40. Wow! That works great for me on my phone. I haven't tried it on my tablet yet. Thank you so much!

I've tried 2 or 3 other streaming live but they are stop and start, and cover the screen with ads and stuff. This one goes smoothly!

[CountAllVotes]

48. I use it all of the time

It comes in great on my Windows 7 desktop that is still chugging along!

Glad you found this to be useful.

[chowder66]

18. You may find it inappropriate as I'm sure many do but it does not mean she is poorly educated.

In fact, a study by psychologists from Marist College found links between how fluent a person is in the English language and how fluent they are in swearing.

The former - verbal fluency - can be measured by asking volunteers to think of as many words beginning with a certain letter of the alphabet as they can in 1 minute.

People with greater language skills can generally think of more examples in the allotted time. Based on this approach, the researchers created the swearing fluency task. This task requires volunteers to list as many different swear words as they can think of in 1 minute.

By comparing scores from both the verbal and swearing fluency tasks, it was found that the people who scored highest on the verbal fluency test also tended to do best on the swearing fluency task. The weakest in the verbal fluency test also did poorly on the swearing fluency task.

[mr715]

45. That is fucking cool.

[chowder66]

49. lol

[paleotn]

23. Oh horse shit.

I am quite educated, thank you very goddamn much, and know exactly what I'm trying to convey. Your point? Is there a point somewhere?

[mr715]

46. Educated as fuck!

[Betty Boom]

42. Utter Nonsense

It’s a word that has great power for emphasis. It can be used as every part of speech. Knowing how and when to use profanity appropriately is an art. Not everyone can do that and even on my ears, it can sound vulgar at times. But to make a blanket statement that the use of profanity implies lack of education is complete and utter nonsense.

[enigmania]

71. The unread can't use profanity to effect.

[Marie Marie]

75. It used to be a strong word. In these times, I find that it is no longer strong enough.

But then, cursing has never offended me.

[mwmisses4289]

67. Yes, used too much it is rather boring.

In one of the most boring films ever made, fuck and its variations are used 17 times in the first four minutes. If it hadn't been for fuck, there would be almost no dialouge in that movie.

We should take lessons from George Carlin- his use of profanity in his comedy was always well and carefully placed to make a point.

[vanamonde]

13. Dick Cheney, 2004

Well, fuck, fuckin' Dick Cheney told Leahy to 'go fuck himself' on the fucking floor of the fucking senate, so I don't know why the fuck we waited so long to add the fuckin' word 'fuck' to our fucking government's fucking vocabulary.

/sarcasm

[popsdenver]

19. Doesn't matter

The MAGAot Voters will not see him saying Fuck, on Fox....... ....but Fox news will broadcast any foul language by Dems for all his Quasi Christian followers.....

But I am glad to see someone get upset, more than the normal "concerned letter" BS......

[BidenRocks]

20. Fuckin' Ay Skippy!

[Aussie105]

24. The best insults and swear words aren't in the English/US language . . .

But we have added 'couch fucker' to the list.

[paleotn]

25. It's a word. Like any other word.

Those who find it offensive should look inward, not at me.

[Iggo]

26. Kill the tone argument.

I’ve always been for that.

[EndlessMaze]

29. Spanish cuss words are the best!

Calling trump a pedo puto is quite satisfying.

[underpants]

30. I've noticed NPR not being so dreadfully delight for the last few months

The lawsuit to keep them federally funded is ongoing.

They cut through their soft analysis to state the painfully obvious now.

[BaronChocula]

31. Bring Sen. Mazie Hirono

back on news shows. She doesn't pull punches or F-bombs.

[Joinfortmill]

32. You said it, brother.

[Exp]

33. Netanyahu has hurt the USA as well, Bibi is helping TSF to destroy the U.S.. nt

[Blue_Roses]

34. Finally

There's just something that makes saying "Fuck" feel so good! It's like when you stump your toe on the coffee table, who really thinks of "oh no" or "ouch". No, I'm way past that and my "Southern Hospitality manners". It's got to be a good ol' FUCK!
I think you got to hit Trump back with what he's giving. He doesn't understand anything else. Oh, hell, he doesn't understand anyway...

[Orrex]

36. Obama was castigated for using the phrase "we kicked his ass."

But Trump swears like a drunk toddler and our housebroken, obsequious media can't be bothered.

[Cha]

37. Good to know.. TY!

[BurnDoubt]

38. I grew up on Frank Zappa, the Fuggs , Captain Beefart...

After Mario Savio Liberated Language.
And I’m really disgusted by how these assholes have dragged down my favorite words.

[Martin Eden]

39. I think Trump was justly criticized for dropping the F-bomb

We can excoriate him with powerful statements without emulating his profanity, stooping to his level.

[PCIntern]

43. Yes:when they go low, we go high, right???

😂😂😂😂😂😂

That worked out real well.

[Martin Eden]

54. So we go relentless, pulling no punches

Call a liar a liar, a criminal a criminal, and a traitor a traitor. Do you honestly think saying fucking liar, fucking criminal, and fucking traitor will strengthen our argument among people who don't already agree with us?

It won't. It will exonerate Trump for his use of the F-bomb, and convince many folks on the fence that we are no better.

It may provide some temporary satisfaction in venting our rage, but it will not help one bit in rallying more people to the cause of fighting fascism.

All it will do is lower the national discourse, which is probably what our enemies want.

[PCIntern]

55. The national discourse cannot be lowered

You have a President who posts photos of himself as if he were Jesus.

Dont you get it? The people you’re talking to only vote Dem when Republicans fuck it all up. Then they vote Republican when it’s all cleaned up by a Democrat . Ask President Gore, President Hillary Clinton , and President Harris how it works.

[Martin Eden]

56. It would certainly get lower if Democrats act like Trump

Not just profanity, but the lies and the jevenile level rhetoric.

The people can't be painted with such a broad brush. Elections are most often won on the margins, motivating souls to the polls and persuading the swing voters. If you think those people don't exist, you are terribly mistaken. I have yet to hear a convincing argument that Democrats in office and pundits on the left dropping F-bombs will help our cause.

Sure, Democratic leaders need to demonstrate more fire in their belly and passion in their speech. They can do that without profanity on their lips, which would turn more people off than on.

[PCIntern]

58. No one is advocating the abrogation of principle.

But this propensity we have with our mealymouthed sternly worded letters and speechifying is worse than useless. You can’t fight a Trump with politesse.

You have to drop the equivalent of a bunker-buster into the debate.

[Martin Eden]

62. Profanity from Democratic leaders is being advocated in this thread

My point is our leaders can be strong and effective without using profanity, which would turn more people off than on.

[NoSheep]

70. I agree. Be direct, but not fucking direct, dipshit!

Call a liar a liar. A criminal a criminal. Elected officials using profanity and name calling lowers my opinion of them.

[Torchlight]

44. I think others curse besides and beypnd Mr trump

engaging in cursing is not emulation of his character any more than drawing a breath is emulation of his biology.

[oldsoldierfadingfast]

41. If I remember correctly...

the Latin that I studied 70 yrs. ago, 'fucare' is the Latin term from which we get the word 'fuck' and it means 'to sow seeds',
No matter how we say it, we need to be spreading the 'seeds of democracy' any and everywhere we can.

[The Roux Comes First]

51. There's No "Fuck" in Broccoli!!

[JoseBalow]

63. Hold my beer...

[Jack Valentino]

53. Rec'd for the 'Rocky III' reference....

Still my favorite 'Rocky' movie, when the brawler learned to 'box'





Movie quote:
'OH, THIS is not the 'Rocky' we expected-- --
he's out there looking like Apollo Creed!!!'

[PCIntern]

68. So I have a story for you:

Many years ago, I was invited out for lunch to a restaurant now gone, Arthur’s Steakhouse on Walnut Street in Philadelphia. Next to me were three men dressed well, and one of the men was very familiar, but I couldn’t place him. Its not like I was I’m eavesdropping on their conversation but eventually I heard him say “OK I’ll do it, but I can’t have any controversial lines because I’m a well-known pitchman in Philadelphia from the 1940s to today for Acme Markets and cannot cannot afford any controversy.” As soon as he said that, I realized that It was a local personality by the name of Gene Crane, who wound up portraying the mayor of Philadelphia during the Art Museum scene with Clubber Lang verbally assaulting Rocky and Adrienne in Rocky III.

Gene Crane’s son is David Crane who produced some notable tv shows. Gene died I think in his late 90’s.

[phxjurist]

59. Just remember: Water seeks its own level.

[patphil]

69. Fuck is a very versatile word.

The following sentence shows off it's amazing linguistic properties:

Fuck the fucking fuckers.

[jfz9580m]

73. Nicely done PCIntern

[Gary 50]

74. Profanity is a linguistic crutch used by unintelligent fucking assholes. Wait a minute....

[deurbano]

76. I hadn''t turned on MSNBC in forever, but wanted to see Budapest celebrate... & I not only heard Alex Wagner say "fuck,"

but found MSNBC has been rebranded as MS NOW!

I felt like Rip Van Winkle!
