The idea of a presidential meeting with everybody swearing is kind of disturbing.

I swear on this board though I shouldn't. I rarely swear in public and I never swore in a business meeting.









ON EDIT- It wasn't that one person was using profanities. Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen suggested everybody in the meeting was using profanities.

Sound more like a Sopranos meeting.

it's the insults and name calling that I find offensive, along with being disparaging to other countries.

After all Bill Clinton apparently threw around f-bombs like candy at a Fourth of July parade. For me it’s the context and unabashed, open racism.

The swearing isn't the problem. It's what was said and the racism in that comment.
