OK. Now It's OK to Say "Motherfucker" in the Godamned Fucking Oval Fucking Office.

[MineralMan]

Apparently, anyhow, if you're a has-been entertainer who is manic. Who knew?

[superpatriotman]

1. Looking for video

Just got home and missed the daily circus

"... And Trump is on his hero’s journey right now. And he might not have expected to have a crazy motherfucker like Kanye West run up and support, but best believe we are going to make America great...."

[ProudLib72]

17. He's fucking nuts! And the orange shitstain is hanging on his every word

Good God this is horrible!

[smirkymonkey]

86. They should both be in straitjackets and locked up in high-security mental

hospitals for life. I can't believe what I'm seeing.

[lagomorph777]

28. He says "motherfucker" while speaking to a daughterfucker.

[jberryhill]

37. That's 8 minutes. Do you have a time cue?

[dalton99a]

73. The famous sentence is at 15:25

[Greybnk48]

41. When does Kanye West say "motherfucker?"

I have avoided watching this ridiculous shit show all day, I'm not going to watch it now.

[Duppers]

60. Zactly.

Thank you.

[saidsimplesimon]

68. I agree.

[USALiberal]

76. So why do you need to know when he said it? nt

[jberryhill]

81. I never watched two hours of a porn movie either

[Trueblue Texan]

46. Well that dang 'ol Kanye is a reg'lar genius!

Ain't he? Boy why didn't any of us think of moving jobs to Amerka? No wonder the prez is so impressed! An' hey, look, ya'll! We can wear hats indoors now! Even in the Ovil Office!

[VOX]

57. Another episode in a genuinely shitty reality show.

Unfortunately, the entire United States is in the goddamned cast, most of them against their will.

Get rid of Republicans and get rid of 45!

[iluvtennis]

63. +++ agree.

[elmac]

58. Kanye, a nobody impowered idiot, belongs with tRump. nt

[MrScorpio]

74. I lasted for two minutes

Where’s my prize?

[Trueblue Texan]

96. Embarrassing.

I feel so ashamed watching that clip. They have brought humiliation and disgrace to this nation.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

2. I'm sure Jesus wouldn't mind. Just ask Jerry Falwell Jr.

Also, isn't an unaltered version of this required by the presidential papers retention act? Sorry, can't remember its actual name.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

3. What the fuck?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. But it's not OK to wear a tan suit. Or at least, it didn't used to be.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

5. That better not be a jar of Dijon mustard I see in your cupboard. NT

[MontanaMama]

6. Well not for a black guy

anyway...

*sarcasm thingy

[Skidmore]

8. On tv when

kindergartners and preschoolers are just home having their lunches.

[SCantiGOP]

55. It was bleeped on TV. n/t

[Mime-Is-Money]

9. Meh, it's not the first time, nor will it be the last....

let's focus on things that actually matter. What the current Troll and his minions ramble about in a televised fluff fest in the Oval Office is a distraction.

[MineralMan]

12. So, we shouldn't comment on this? Is that what you're saying?

Really?

[Mime-Is-Money]

16. we can comment on it

by laughing at the absurdity.....or just ignore it. The current WH wants us to get in a tizzy with junk like this.

[MineralMan]

23. So, you're in close touch with the White House and know what

they think there? Is that it? I'm just wondering why you bothered to reply to this thread. Ignoring something is not the same as commenting on that thing, you see. Laughing might be, but I'm not feeling the humor in this, really.

So, I commented on it. It's DU. I post here.

[techne7319]

34. Do what you feel...

Criticism and public displays of dissatisfaction with Trump (including those by MSM) only play into his games of manipulation. Our voice is best heard at the polls come November.

[mokawanis]

44. Criticism plays into his games???

So you think we shouldn't criticize or display dissatisfaction with tRump until election day??? We should remain silent until we vote?

[techne7319]

75. We win...

We win at the polls by electing representatives that will make the changes necessary to right this ship and save our country. Finding common ground in principle and agendas is necessary. Bashing this guy on a daily basis achieves nothing aside from promoting anger and resentment. Criticism by MSM only fuels his message and empowers his base. Contacting your congresspeople makes a difference. Voting in local and national elections makes a difference. I prefer a focus on the positive and a hopefully better future than a constant rehashing of the negative.

[mokawanis]

95. what you said and what I responded to

you stated that criticism and public displays of dissatisfaction with Trump only plays into his game of manipulation. I'm simply disagreeing with your statement. Discussion, debate, and criticism are a necessary part of democracy. As for the anger and resentment of his base, that fuel is spoon-fed to them by Trump himself on pretty much a daily basis. Our silence would not diminish that one bit.

It sounds like you are arguing that individuals and the media should just shut up or somehow stay positive in the face of Trump's lies, distortions, and lunacy. I couldn't disagree more. I think those things should be called out every time.

[techne7319]

97. To what end?

Reporting what’s going on is one thing. Continually complaining about every daily occurrence in the the White House is another. We all know this guy’s a dirtbag. When the majority of The general discussion thread on DU is people whining and crying about Trump it’s not helpful. The beginning of this very thread is a post about Kanye saying “mf” in the Oval Office. Who cares? It’s a pointless waste of breath. It’s been going on for over a year and public outrage and responses have not changed anything. All this crap he pulls is out of our control. Elections can change that. Wallow in negativity all you want, but it’s not helpful.

[techne7319]

98. Yes, that's what I said

He’s the master spinster. He can twist anything said or done against him into a positive. The classsic “I’m rubber, you’re glue” game. Somehow, he does it. It must be a machine or something. He’s a celebrity and in that sense “any publicity is good publicity.” Yes. He wants us to get all worked up over Kanye. It’s not really all that important though, but all the new sites are going to blow it up... who cares. It sounds as if you’re say that it’s more important to spend time calling out trump on all his crap and complaing about it on DU, than trying to spread a positive message from your democratic candidates the upcoming election or something that is actually “meaningful and helpful.”

[techne7319]

99. In case you still don't get it:

All the calling out trump, all the complaining on DU and in the MSM has not and will continue to fail in having any effect on this administration. He craves the criticism and thrives on it. Critics are used as bait for his base, spoon-fed by Trump as you say.
What can create a change to this administration:
Mueller investigation
State of NY investigation
Midterm elections

So,yes, ignore his crap.
Report the news, but ignore the rest.
Quit whining, no one cares. This country is totally divided and trumpism is the deciding factor. No minds are going to be changed by all this coverage. It just affirms people’s positions. The complaining is pointless. Vote, promote your national, state and local candidates.
Most importantly- VOTE!!! and get all your friends and neighbors to as well

[techne7319]

79. Please...

Please give me one instance where this administration has “had a change of heat”or given in to social pressure or criticism - MSM or otherwise. He recently turned the #MeToo movement (which has had meaningful implications in our country) into a weapon for his base. Same with the Kavanaugh nomination - even worse.

[RandiFan1290]

13. Welcome Back to DU! nt

[Mime-Is-Money]

25. thx! Figured it's kind of a big month so had to get back in the mix

nm

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

10. I'd guess Richard Nixon muttered a few fine expletives in the Oval Office.

As did Lyndon Johnson.

Probably others.

The office survives.

[NewJeffCT]

26. Kanye did it in pubilc on air

Nixon and LBJ did it behind closed doors

[mahatmakanejeeves]

11. That sound you hear is Eugene Meyer rolling over in his grave.

About Us

Policies and Standards

By Washington Post Staff January 1, 2016
....

Mission statement

The mission of The Washington Post is defined in a set of principles written by Eugene Meyer, who bought the newspaper in 1933. Today they are displayed in brass linotype letters in an entrance to the newsroom. (His gender references have been supplanted by our policy of inclusion, but the values remain).

The Seven Principles for the Conduct of a Newspaper

1. The first mission of a newspaper is to tell the truth as nearly as the truth may be ascertained.

2. The newspaper shall tell ALL the truth so far as it can learn it, concerning the important affairs of America and the world.

3. As a disseminator of the news, the paper shall observe the decencies that are obligatory upon a private gentleman.

4.What it prints shall be fit reading for the young as well as for the old.

5. The newspaper’s duty is to its readers and to the public at large, and not to the private interests of its owners.

6. In the pursuit of truth, the newspaper shall be prepared to make sacrifices of its material fortunes, if such course be necessary for the public good.

7. The newspaper shall not be the ally of any special interest, but shall be fair and free and wholesome in its outlook on public affairs and public men.

Eugene Meyer, March 5, 1935
....

Taste

The Washington Post respects taste and decency, understanding that society’s concepts of taste and decency are constantly changing. A word offensive to the last generation can be part of the next generation’s common vocabulary. But we shall avoid prurience. We shall avoid profanities and obscenities unless their use is so essential to a story of significance that its meaning is lost without them. In no case shall obscenities be used without the approval of the executive or managing editors.
....

[cwydro]

14. That guy is an idiot.

Anyone who has to use profanities to make a point is lacking in vocabulary.

[former9thward]

87. Does that apply to internet discussion websites?

[cwydro]

91. Oh yes.

Indeed.

[former9thward]

92. I agree with you but I think I will leave it there.

[WeekiWater]

15. Trump as an individual is so much more offensive. N/T

[MineralMan]

19. And so? I'm not actually talking about Trump.

I sometimes do, but this thread is not about him. It's about maintaining at least a bit of decorum in the People's House.

Trump is just the current tenant in that house. He has guests, apparently, who don't understand that. But, it's up to individuals to behave appropriately when there.

[WeekiWater]

33. "And so?"

It was a simple observation. Just as your op is a simple observation.

The guy has had Ted Nugent as a guest.

[MineralMan]

35. Yes? And so.

I wouldn't invite any of those people into my house. Not Donald Trump. Not Kanye West. And especially not Ted Nugent. Would you?

[WeekiWater]

47. Not my house, no.

I would take them all hunting with Cheney.

I don't get your "and so" references. To each their own.

[Tipperary]

48. I truly doubt Kanye knows anything about polite behavior.

That is just normal talk for him. Sadly, I hear it amongst school kids regularly.

For some reason in rap circles, calling oneself a mf or a n-word is not only accepted, but expected. I find it to be very sad.

[R B Garr]

18. Yes, and can you imagine what the reaction would be if this took

place in Obama's White House?? Wow.

[MineralMan]

22. I can, indeed.

I don't remember Barack Obama inviting anyone to the Oval Office who would speak like that. Obama had great respect for the People's House on Pennsylvania Avenue.

[thesquanderer]

69. Well, there was Rahm Emanuel. ;-) (nt)

[Vinca]

20. That was one of the weirdest things I've ever watched.

Trump, for a moment, was totally outcrazied.

[elmac]

59. I got through the first 10 seconds, that was enough for me. nt

[ProudLib72]

21. And you think that Sarah "Dead Fish Play Basketball Downstream" Palin

And Ted "I Shit Myself to Dodge the Draft" Nugent didn't have some nice words about HRC when they posed in front of her portrait?

It's just that the select crowd he brings in to the Oval Office usually aren't caught on video ranting and raving.

[Mime-Is-Money]

27. can't argue with this

nm

[MineralMan]

32. I'm very sure that's true.

[FoxNewsSucks]

30. How do we know he got a blowjob?

Did he brag about it publicly?

Did he get it during a news conference?

Did he make a habit of getting blowjobs at every televised rally every day?

How exactly did anyone find out he got a blowjob?

[MineralMan]

31. Thanks for letting me know your disdain for such things.

And also for reminding me what this forum is all about.

I can't hide your post. Also, I never alert on replies to me. So, if your post gets hidden, someone else will have alerted on it. Just so you know.

[FoxNewsSucks]

29. 2 things -

1- The jackass is not only nuts, he's an idiot. He unlocked his phone in front of the camera and apparently his unlock code is 00000. It's scary how closely the pussygrabber paid attention to him,

2- the pussygrabber is truly miserable. When the jackass was talking about the iPlane, or whatever, for almost 2 seconds the pussygrabber seemed to have a sincere smile on his hideous face. I've never seen that before. It's small consolation, but good to realize how miserable he is all of the time.

[lunasun]

36. Idiocracy . I kept wishing all the press would leave! It would be him, trump, SS & a few flunkies

and no one else would be wiser about what they said and many never know it happened
Now the crazy is out . Just another small cut MM

[Duppers]

65. Exactly how this should be handled.

Ignored. Damn the press enablers.

[njhoneybadger]

38. I don't mind him saying Motherfucker as long as he didn't mention Dijon Mustard

[Garrett78]

39. Just bread and circuses without the bread.

Meanwhile, what isn't being talked about?

[andym]

40. We need Mr. Robinson (Eddie Murphy) on SNL to explain

all about MFs in the White House.

[ADX]

43. Bernie Mac explains it better...

[Separation]

42. This is bullshit

Not that Kanye said fuck, but the ridiculous coverage by the media that he said fuck.

So

Fucking

What?

It's just some bullshit false decorum that in the last 2 years has been completely removed from the office of president.

I've still only heard bits and pieces, but the message should be, "Great fantastic Kanye! Now let's hold Trumps feet to the fire to reduce the industrial prison complex, lets get a federal investigation and look into what can help Chicago, Detroit, & Flint a better place to live. Which has a direct connection to the prison industry. Let's hold Trumps feet to the fire and make his cabinet not look like a sauna scene from Caddy Shack.

This type of reporting only enables him, just like they did during his campaign for president. I'd love to start reporting, I dont have the brain to fingers to paper ability and being %100 disabled sure as shit doesnt helo.

Lmao maybe I need to start a blog that nobody else would read.

[MineralMan]

50. Thank you for your concise explanation.

[Separation]

83. LOL

That's one of many things that I hate about the internet. There is no voice or tone inflection.

I'm gonna take a guess and say you are not being sarcastic. ? ?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

45. Well fucking a

Isn't that just fucking something

[RedSpartan]

49. Remember when the racist mouth-breathers were OUTRAGED

at President Obama sullying the Oval Office my putting his feet on the desk? (As many other presidents, including W and Reagan, had done.)

Good times.

[Zambero]

56. And of course the tan suit at the press conference

"Oh the humanity!"

[hurple]

51. I guarantee...

That was not the first time that word was used in that office...

[MineralMan]

52. Do you? Amazing that you have such knowledge.

[hurple]

72. Not really...

Just look at some of the other people who have occupied that office.

I promise Nixon used that word, frequently.

And Johnson, too.

Both seem very much the type.

[DoctorJoJo]

53. Trump Said It Himself on National TV at One of His Campaign Rallies!

[MineralMan]

54. Link to a video?

[Lady_Chat]

61. "Be Best"

I have no words to describe what this country is becoming.

[SunSeeker]

62. Kanye admits he is bipolar and not taking meds for it. Trump is exploiting him.

That is the real outrage here. It is sickening.

[Glimmer of Hope]

66. I find it sad. He needs help.

[badhair77]

64. Remember when Common visited the Obamas. Right-wingers went crazy.

[mcar]

67. I want to say unbelievable

But it's not.

[magicarpet]

70. Can't wait until Kanye runs for president.

Just imagine the disjointed rally speeches this dude would give. 10X the headache you get at a trDump rally, he is all over the map once he starts his diatribe.

[VOX]

71. Wonder how this plays with 45's base of white nationalists, Proud Boys, neo-nazis, KKK, etc.

If true to their sick beliefs, this should have them destroying everything in sight. But even with the reddest of necks, IOKIYAR.

[DBoon]

77. Snakes on a Plane! (and in the Whitehouse)

[Turbineguy]

78. I always wondered what made this guy so famous.

It seems to be the same thing as Sarah Palin.

[2naSalit]

80. I think it is

a purposeful way of showing how distasteful "his kind" are and that they would behave like that in the Oval Office, just disgraceful. That's why shitstain was eating it up. He'll use it in some rally eventually.

[jcgoldie]

82. Guess now the rednecks are ok with him cutting off Taylor Swift at the grammys

Or whatever awards show that was. What a shitshow.

[bluestarone]

84. The very sad part is

RUMPS base thinks this is just great! Our white house turned into something like this is just something i never thought i'd see or HEAR! This country better see the light and see it soon!!! (WHERE ARE THE REPUBS??) They must love it too? SAD SAD SAD!!!!

[Ferrets are Cool]

85. The evangelicals will be doing the

LA LA LA LA LA LA LA song for days.

[MineralMan]

89. What do you think? Answer soon, though...

[MineralMan]

90. Oops! Too slow...

[spanone]

93. I watched it as it unfolded. Never in all my years....trump just sat there nodding.

just when you think we've hit rock bottom...

[kwassa]

94. Profanity has a long history in the Oval Office.

and Nixon is on tape.

[ck4829]

100. It sure is.

[madashelltoo]

101. Why not?

They LIE, CHEAT, STEAL and accept BRIBES to cover a multitude of sins including TORTURE AND MURDER in that office.
