    Oh fuck no, not swearing! Shit, how are we going to deal with this?

    I’ve never cared when a politician swore, it meant more meaning behind their words like Beto. I care more about his “shithole countries” remark, his “grab them by the pussy” remark, the “they’re eating the dogs, they’re eating the cats” remark, the “they’re bringing in crime” remark… etc.

    Genuinely, when a man is deporting citizens left and right, and trying to just change everything because no one is willing to stop him, I don’t care if he says fuck.

    It’s not that uncommon…

    Nixon, Johnson, Biden, Carter, Bush Jr, and JFK also have been caught on camera saying some permutation of “fuck.”

    What is surprising here is that the orange felon hasn’t said it more.

    Not trying to defend him, but I never understood why swearing is such a big deal for Americans.

    He didn’t drop any kind of bomb on camera, he just said the word “fuck”, like a normal human being. How this could possibly become news is beyond me. Americans are so weird.

      Look. If you want to have 150 guns, thats fine. If you want to watch viplent scenes of sawblades torturing victims until they’re chopped up into teeny tiny bloody corpse bits, that’s fine. But you show half a titty at the superbowl???

      THAT’S TOO DAMN FAR!!!

      I’m also confused by the title, as even the article says ‘fuck’ has been said by presidents before crowds.

    Don’t worry. He’ll act presidential one day. He’s right on track to be presidential by… (checks notes) 2017. Oops.
