UAW President Shawn Fain: Donald Trump 'doesn't give a damn about the working class'

[geojazz]

1. I don't like the swearing!!

[Skittles]

2. that is too fucking bad!

[GreenWave]

4. A trumpster once said he didn't want to hear it either

How can they pretend to have virgin ears when they are so fucked in the head?

[Skittles]

5. it always amazes me what offends some people

and what does not

[markodochartaigh]

32. Growing up in Amarillo

I knew so many people who were horrified seeing a woman in a movie in a low cut dress but enjoyed the most graphic of war movies. I also knew one guy who said that he couldn't understand anything that was said in Monty Python's Flying Circus (he was a monolingual English speaker) but enjoyed watching it because the showed animation of bare women's breasts.

[Skittles]

36. Amarillo!

I was there once and I felt like I was in another world - on the one hand, the diner food was excellent but.......culture-wise, there is some heavy-duty judging going on there

[markodochartaigh]

45. By the time I was in my teens all of our relatives had moved to

California. They used to say that Texas was twenty years behind California, and Amarillo was 20 years behind most of Texas. Unfortunately that is what my dad liked about it so there we stayed. Growing up, I worked since 14, within the first hour after starting a new job I was always asked what church I went to. I would say that I was Catholic and more than once I was asked why I wasn't a Christian.

[Kittycatkat]

7. They are mean as vipers, yet a potty mouth offends?

Are their ears offended by the racist, misogynistic, hateful dog-whistles that are constantly said by maggots? These weirdo’s need to STFU.

[OAITW r.2.0]

30. Perfect reply.

[2 Meow Momma]

3. Let Fain be Fain. nt

[Cha]

8. How Sad.. We Swear a Lot on DU!!

[BigDemVoter]

11. When we're dealing with the swine we deal with in the Fascist Party,

it is practically impossible not to swear!

[Cha]

15. I started out in the bush/cheney fucking years...

and slowly Escalated to Full Blown Drunken Sailor talk.

Oh NO.. I just saw this.. LOL

Why swearing is a sign of intelligence, helps manage pain and more

There We Go! :

[Hekate]

56. You and me both, sis

[Cha]

57. It's perfectly Understandable!

And now it's reported that it's "a sign of intelligence and a way to manage pain..."! It seems to work for me.

[SamKnause]

14. Seriously ???

Using the word fuck offends you ???

It is just a word.

It has many meanings.

It was used for emphasis in this case.

I approve.

Fuck has been my favorite word for many decades.

Fascists offend me.

The word fuck does not.

[OAITW r.2.0]

33. It's the swiss army knife of words.

Can be a noun, verb, adjective, or adverb...depending on application.

[SamKnause]

38. Exactly.

Big fan of using it as a verb.

[edisdead]

16. Aww thats too bad.

Personally, I don’t give a fuck about the swearing.

[edisdead]

17. Seriously though it is a rilliant strategy

Why is it brilliant? Because no doubt the media is going to say something about it and the answer is “well people are sick and tired of being treated the way they are and their emotions are raw”

Once again we will control the narrative.

[orange jar]

18. Yes.

Ninety-something-percent of Americans are completely unbothered by swearing — hell, some may even find it endearing in a "they're just like us!" sort of way. Not sure why some still act as if a speaker, politician, or some other professional publicly swearing is some highly offensive thing equivalent to being a fascist, bigot, or felon.

[aggiesal]

20. A comedian once said (I believe it was David Brenner) ...

It's easy to get a laugh by swearing. A great comedian can get a laugh without swearing.

In this case, it's easy to get a cheer by swearing. Try getting a cheer without swearing.
This loses respect & dignity to me.

[bagimin]

21. F U....and

Welcome to D.U.!!!

[FoxNewsSucks]

22. "Fuck" is one of the most useful and versatile words in the English language.

[BOSSHOG]

27. Got a great t shirt in the French quarter for my boss

A Navy Commander

black shirt, white lettering

FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING FUCK

He wanted to give it to his boss. Why I don’t know, but the guy was pretty cool. 25 plus years ago.

[debm55]

48. Thank You, That is great.

[TBF]

23. Style over substance -

if that's your concern I suspect you're not going to like this place very much. We tend to focus on issues here.

[TNNurse]

24. I understand your thoughts on that,

but there are times when it adds enough to get the point across.

I swear, but I use it pretty carefully.

Actually, I never would share anything online that had swear words in it...until Trump.

He has changed the need for the narrative.

But I respect your belief.

[sheshe2]

25. Doesn't bother me.

I am fucking angry too that the male maggots are trying to take away a woman’s choice over her own body. They want to ban birth control now too. You do know that some forms of that protect both parties from sexually transmitted diseases. They are not stopping there, they are coming for our voting rights as well hand more.

Sorry if the words offend you because I find their actions far more offensive than a swear word.

This is DU. This is how we react at times. We are a family here, disfunctional at times, but still a family.

Welcome to DU. I hope you find your footing here.

[dem4decades]

28. Then don't hang around the United Auto Workers.

He's talking to his members, they don't mind.

[AkFemDem]

37. I don't like jazz.

[orleans]

47. i'm reading replies about the swearing, and reading the replies and reading the replies

and then i see yours!
and i crack up

so random, so left field
then i read the name to whom you are replying!
omg - geojazz

that's funny too.

[GiqueCee]

42. You don't get to dictate...

... anything to anyone, cupcake.

[Gore1FL]

44. Welcome to DU.

Quite the subthread you inspired, lol.

[H2O Man]

49. Gosh.

[mucholderthandirt]

52. You should probably go ahead and put me on ignore, then.

Because sometimes I fucking swear. Suck it up.

[Hekate]

55. Merciful heavens!

Tough shit — the man is a Union boss and champion of the laborers.

[geojazz]

6. The point is not to go into the gutter like the other side!

[Cha]

9. No that's No "point"... They're Fascist Fucking Traitorss.. and we are

Pointing it OUT. There's No Equivalency.

[speak easy]

39. Cha, you spoke French!

💋💋💋

[Cha]

54. lol... I've never used that expression lololol

Why swearing is a sign of intelligence, helps manage pain and more

https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/26/health/swearing-benefits-wellness/index.html

Mainly because I don't cuss in RL except im head.

[orange jar]

19. A tiny bit of swearing vs. bigotry, oppression, and actual criminal activity.

Yeah, only one side here is "going into the gutter."

[onecaliberal]

34. Thanks for the judgement.

[DinahMoeHum]

40. Your "concern" is noted.

n/t

[orleans]

51. you know what i like to do? i like to go to someone's house for the first time

and pass judgement on those assholes

why the hell did you put the flat screen on *that* wall?
why don't you let your damn dog out? he's been scratching at that door for ten minutes.
how come you let your kids run around like a bunch of fucking idiots?
don't you ever tell your husband/wife to just shut the fuck up?
wow--your attitude really sucks; this is supposed to be a goddamn party not piece of shit madhouse!

sound familiar? no? but it sure as hell feels familiar doesn't it?

my advice: grow up or get over yourself

[SamKnause]

12. Fain is telling it like it is.

We are fucking angry and we have every right to be.

Keep telling the truth Fain !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ananda]

13. And I fucking agree with him!

Now let's channel that anger into a win!

[Codifer]

58. Perfect -- Pete Seeger singing this was exactly what I was thinking of

[Mysterian]

29. OMG this guy is superb!

Thank you for posting these great videos.

[geojazz]

31. Actually, our culture has increasingly become more ude & coarse! I choose a higher ground! Sorry to offend so .any of u!

[OAITW r.2.0]

35. Yeah, you can credit Trump for this situation.

Jesus Fucking Christ, give it up.

[AkFemDem]

41. Pearl clutching from a newbie with 15 posts

I'm not one to be especially suspicious of newcomers in general but this nit picking is pretty telling Especially you're on multiple threads doing this.

[GiqueCee]

46. "Higher ground"...

... is not determined by mere words, it is determined by your actions and how you treat others. Judgmental condemnation of another's choice of words when describing abhorrent actions by monsters is not how one wins friends.

[LizBeth]

43. Sanders needs to listen to his union leaders if he is going to campaign for Harris.

He needs a bit of educated.

[RussBLib]

50. Donald Trump doesn't give a shit about the auto industry

...you know it. I know it. It's good to hear that belted out at a rally.
