—@BrianStelter asks Robert De Niro about criticism he gets from Fox for speaking out against Trump.

"Fuck em," De Niro replies. "Fuck em."

Stelter reminds him, "This is cable, so it's not an FCC violation, but it is still a Sunday morning."

37. I am not aware of any Biblical prohibition

against using explicit language to designate or describe bodily functions or the products thereof. In fact, Scripture itself uses quite a bit of such language - disguised, especially today, but the use of euphemisms in translations. There is a good deal of dung, and a good deal of carnal knowledge, in Scripture. And occasionally, there's an allusion so obscure it requires a translator to translate the translation. "Surely he covereth his feet in his summer chamber" actually means, "Isn't he just in his room taking a piss?"

"Taking the name of the Lord in vain" means swearing (taking oaths) and, more loosely, cursing. It doesn't mean scatology or obscenity. Those are considered impolite, but that is because of social prohibitions, not because of any command from God.

Let's not invoke "Sunday" to limit language which God does not prohibit (especially when a good God would absolutely be on board with the sentiment.)

[Farmer-Rick]

53. Thanks for that info

Very interesting even though I don't believe in any gods. I do though enjoy real history about the bible.

[House of Roberts]

10. Watched trailer for The Irishman coming to Netflix...

De Niro, Pacino, Pesci

The Irishman is an upcoming American crime film produced and directed by Martin Scorsese and written by Steven Zaillian, based on the 2004 memoir I Heard You Paint Houses by Charles Brandt.
The film stars Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, and Joe Pesci as Frank "The Irishman" Sheeran, Jimmy Hoffa, and Russell Bufalino, respectively, and follows Sheeran as he recounts his alleged jobs as a hitman for the Bufalino crime family. It is the ninth feature collaboration between De Niro and Scorsese.

[lunasun]

[Zambero]

11. OK then, un-fuck 'em for now

And re-fuck the dumb fucks around noon.

[Iggo]

12. Right?

[OAITW r.2.0]

13. I think he gets the gravity of the situation.

Won't move white evangelicals, of course, but this might break thru to some of Trump's current base.

[Blue_true]

15. The young Godfather. As far as he is concerned, they can sleep with the fishes. nt

[shockey80]

16. DeNiro speaks like I do. Love it.

Impeach that motherfucker!

[jalan48]

17. How many thousands of innocent people have we killed in wars since 9-11? And yet some

are offended by swear words.....

[Buckeye_Democrat]

42. They're hypocrites.

Mark Twain's "The War Prayer":
https://warprayer.org/

“Lord our Father, our young patriots, idols of our hearts, go forth into battle — be Thou near them! With them — in spirit — we also go forth from the sweet peace of our beloved firesides to smite the foe. O Lord our God, help us tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with their little children to wander unfriended in the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames in summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it —

For our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimmage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet!

We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.

[LuckyCharms]

18. We need more people speaking like this.

[lindysalsagal]

49. We need an effing busload of celebrities and a telethon of them!! We need songs, video, rappers...

If he were as innocent as he claims, he wouldn't need to threaten everyone and their mother.

[spanone]

19. YES Robert, FUCK THEM one and all

[shanti]

20. Sunday mornings, lol

It's just another day. Good on De Niro! Fuck 'em!

[mucifer]

21. Watch the deplorables whine about DeNiro and Hollywood and not acknowledge that their

beloved "president" is Hollywood, too.

[IcyPeas]

44. that's right - he has a star on the hollywood hall of fame

he has the best star.

[NCjack]

22. It is sad that our language has degenerated to this. But,

sometimes "fuck em" is the best response. Such, as this case. On Sunday morning.

[BunnyMcGee]

24. Agreed

Completely

[Wounded Bear]

25. A more "religious" version: Hymn! Hymn! Fuck hymn!

[tclambert]

47. I think you're looking for paisan.

[Blecht]

28. More polite than they deserve

Fuck 'em all!

[The Genealogist]

29. Perfect response

As to the concern about this being a Sunday, would the host have said anything about it of it was on a Saturday or a Friday? both are sacred days in Abrahamic religions.

[barbtries]

30. so what's with the guy

i know his name but can't remember it. this is why: instead of discussing TRUMP, he talks about how DeNiro is cussing! fuck that, this president is destroying the country.

why isn't that asshole just working for fox?? he's on his show pushing them. what an asshole whatever the fuck his name is.

i know i know his name, i just can't think of it!

[GReedDiamond]

31. Yeah, like Sunday is some kinda "holy day" or sumthin...nt

[riversedge]

32. Thanks Robert. I do not care if it is Sunday

[dem4decades]

34. Love me some Bobby D.

De Niro should have run the Mueller probe instead of Bobby Do Nothing.

[yaesu]

35. he should have responded, fine, fuck em every day of the week and twice on Sunday. nt

[BlancheSplanchnik]

36. I love you, Robert Deniro!

National Treasure ❤️

[Evolve Dammit]

38. Fuck 'em X infinity. Obama couldn't wear a tan suit. We have a criminal in the WH.

[StarryNite]

39. Sunday morning? Really?

What the fuck does that have to do with anything?

[Demovictory9]

41. k&r

[Blue Owl]

43. Twice -- it's Sunday!

n/t

[7wo7rees]

45. TWICE on Sunday

[paleotn]

46. That's a good start.

I'm over the namby pamby niceties of polite TV news. This is a fight for the heart and soul of this nation. This is a fight for or against democracy. In my mind, "fuck 'em" just begins to describe my rage against that orange buffoon and his idiot followers.

[AdamGG]

50. Can't wait for The Irishman to be released on November 1st

Scorsese teaming back up with Deniro, Pesci, Keitel and a supposedly great performance by Al Pacino.

[calimary]

51. Fuck 'em! The Godfather says so.

Good enough for me!

[NCLefty]

52. As if this cuss word is somehow worse than a corrupt president on a crime spree...

Stelter covered his butt by rebuking him, and he is getting how many re-tweets because of it. I think everyone will survive. :p

(And as if the kind of person who would be offended on a Sunday morning would be less offended at any other point in the week...)
