Regardless of a person's beliefs or skin color, it is never okay to call someone a 'f***ing b***h' in the workplace.Post edited by stuckinline on0

For sure- especially anyone in a position in government. The best leaders set a good example. Trump and his supporters started the slide in the other direction when he started talking about "grabbing pussy" and somehow that was acceptable-- to some. Now its representatives calling a woman an effing bitch. Here in the U.S., we're on a fast race to the bottom.

I don't like the B word. I also don't like the D word. We can certainly agree that both are rude....not nice, etc.
As for the press sec, I'd just say she's a liar. The other words are completely unnecessary, right? Being a liar is a terrible thing.
Listen, stay safe everyone. This quarantine is difficult but your safety is the most important thing. Get nice masks...maybe with a sports team or something on them? Sending out big hugs; have a nice weekend.

My point is that people do see Trump as someone who thinks the way someone who says p... grabbing and other gutter language and are probably not surprised to hear a politician use that language in public.But, yeah, fair enough, I'll retract this incident as being attributed to Trump. What I will say though is that any politician worth his or her salt will know better than to talk that way in public. I'm guessing many politicians have and do swear a blue streak in private. But a good public servant knows not to do that outside of in private. I'm no saint and I'm no prude and I'm guilty of using such language myself, but I'm also not a public servant. When I was a teacher, I did consider myself a public servant and spoke appropriately as one in that capacity.My concern is that the crudeness of some of our so-called leaders is becoming more and more acceptable.

That's low.So true! I see it as a sign of the times that does not bode well for our future.Should rock and rollers cuss now and then? Hell yes. Steve Wynn played a song today on his live-from-home show called:"Ted Fucking Williams"Everyone's so kind and humble
Don't you know that I can see right through it?
Keeping all their comments down
You know it ain't a boast if you can do it
And everyone says "Say hey"
And everyone says "Did you see that kid play?"
I've got to give the kid a hand
But there's nothing that he can do better than I can
I'm Ted Fucking WilliamsBut failure's not a sign of grace
It only means you don't know what you're doing
And everyone says "Hey, Mick"
Mantle this, Mantle that, it makes me sick
It's just so hard to see
Why do they like him better than me?
I'm Ted Fucking Williams
And everyone says "Hey, Duke"
Like everything I did was some kind of fluke
I gotta give the Duke a hand
But there's nothing that he can do better than I can
I'm Ted Fucking WilliamsBut president, congressperson, others in office? No way!

This is about far more than AOC...but it’s a good read

”All these words somehow cast Ocasio-Cortez and her female colleagues as the disruptive and chaotic forces unleashed in this scenario, suggesting that they shattered norms in a way that Representative Yoho’s original, profane outburst apparently did not. (Perhaps Yoho’s words weren’t understood as eruptive and norm-shattering because calling women nasty names, in your head or with your friends or on the steps of your workplace, is much more of a norm than most want to acknowledge).”

it's funny how all the people who criticize AOC for her response to "how are you going to pay for it?" with regards to basic human needs/rights might just be the same people that are a-ok with the government writing blank cheques in the name of protecting their "freedom".
you know what she's doing? showing you for the hypocrites you are.Hugh Freaking Dillon is currently out of the office, returning sometime in the fall0 -

And I’m not okay with blank checks for military either. I think everything should be cut back until we can reduce, or at least stabilize our debt.
There’s nothing hypocritical about criticizing someone who wants to spend $40 trillion with zero clue on how to pay for it. Who’s it going to help when the economy crashes and there is no government assistance at all?0
