Media is already "Bushing" Trump..

[SoCalDem]

Remember when media would change the wording to obfuscate/clean up the Bushisms? Today someone on MSNBC said "Trump said he would bomb the "HECK" out of 'em"

Sorry Dear, He SAID he would bomb the SHIT out of them..

When we have a profane, lewd lunatic for a president, and he says crude things, they deserve to be quoted.. If the president's words are too "rough" to be repeated on tv, what does that say ?

When he SAYS "grab a pussy"...that's what should be said...

not "the P" word... or the "B" word, the C word..or the N word.. pretty soon the whole alphabet will be off limits..

All that's needed is the following blurb at the top of every newscast:


WARNING..

Our president uses profane language..

He will be quoted.. watch out for your own children

1. I love this argument.

This is our 45th president. Let his words speak for themselves.

2. True but Trump is not the first profane President in modern times. ...

(Of course that all depends on the meaning of modern times. When you are old as I am you may have a different definition than a much younger person.)

Harry Truman was considered to be extremely profane in his day. Of course there is no doubt Trump takes this to a new low level.

From Lincoln to LBJ, dirty words are nothing new in the White House

Harry Truman

The folksy "Give 'Em Hell Harry" was beloved by some and tsk-tsked by others for the colorful language he attributed to his youthful days working on the Santa Fe railroad, when he slept in hobo camps. In Truman's eyes, General Douglas MacArthur was a "dumb son of a bitch," and Nixon was "a shifty-eyed goddamned liar."

"I never did give them hell," he once reminisced. "I just told the truth, and they thought it was hell." It was an earlier, simpler time.

Richard Nixon

The Watergate tapes put the phrase "expletive deleted" on the map – White House protesters held signs that read "Impeach the (Expletive Deleted)!" The tapes covered a lot more mundane moments than the wiretapping operation that got the president impeached. In one, Nixon is watching his beloved Redskins attempt to complete a major comeback against the Dallas Cowboys. "Son of a bitch," he mutters when the push falls short.

Lyndon Johnson

"People said my language was bad," recalled Nixon, "but Jesus, you should have heard LBJ." Few if any presidents have been quite as coarse as Johnson, who famously consulted with cabinet members while he sat on the crapper with the door open. His language was salted with profanity. "I do know the difference between chicken shit and chicken salad," he once said.

One of the big differences between Trump and other Presidents who used profanity is that he uses it far more often in public. Of course the use of profanity is now common throughout our society. That makes we wonder how much more profane and obscene out society will become in the future.

3. And also remember that the press tended to keep the secrets back in the day so who the hell

knows what else went on...where and with whom.

[spin]

6. That is definitely a valid point. (n/t)

4. Good post n/t

5. Grade school age boys are already emulating Trump's

Most vile offenses, like sexually assaulting girls on a whim.

7. Yes, they are. My daughter works in an elementary after-school program.

She told me about a 10 year old girl who has a history of having been raped by a family member. *Somehow* the kids in her class found out, and now, 10 year old boys are taunting her and saying absolutely FOUL things to her. When questioned about their behavior, these boys said, "Trump does it." So far, it's all verbal, but that is bad enough. This poor child! It makes me heartsick. What is happening to my country? I weep daily.

8. This is very disturbing and heart wrenching. I really hope they are addressing this situation

with these boys who will grow up to be men.

[Silver Gaia]

9. They are, but the damage is done.

It makes me so very sad. It seems like all it took was just a little shove for the fabric of our society to tear away. Maybe we weren't as strong and good as I beloved us to be. The world we leave our children is now a horror.
