How did those idiots elect such a aberration?
But the idiots didn't care, and the masters wanted it so.

(16,955 posts)Why should we expect any decency or decorum when we have such a crude fuck-nuts in the White House?

(6,050 posts)We have run out of 4 letter forbidden words. We have no inventory.
We need some new forbidden sex words.
Need new forbidden excrement words also.
Maybe we need a national contest.
Think the new forbidden 4 letter words should be 3 or 5 letters to distinguish them from the old 4 letter word supply.
We can program the ne forbidden words Ito our robots so they they exclaim them when a situation is really bad.

(9 posts)we already have new taboo words. new sacred obscenities. no need for new ones. i would love to make the list, but of course, it is functionally illegal. just think what words i can't say here on this list now, and you have em. the list has certainly changed since George Carlin and Lenny Bruce were brave.

(21,839 posts). . .'cause other times they've substituted the forbidden word with parentheses or they spelled it with asterisks *** or a mixture of punctuation marks.
And for what it's worth, the unredacted phrase is repeated in full on page A24, in the editorial/opinion section.

(14,605 posts)Years from now, when he is looking longingly out of his prison window at the blue sky and fantasizing about Russian prostitutes, he can shake his head, cast his eyes down, and say, "I'm fucked."
How melodramatic. He needs to be impeached, removed from office and then tried for criminal acts that include racketeering, and crimes against humanity.

(523 posts)If the f-word can be shown (spelled out in full) on the front page of the NY Times, it would appear that from now on that word can be shown in full on DU and everywhere else on the internet (it already is being uttered in prime time on the FX channel).

(6,831 posts)In my mind, I'm seeing some guy, with a maga hat on, wearing a dirty (trump) Tee shirt and sitting in front of his TV in his shorts, beer on the end table, three days worth of munge on his face (and under his armpits), Faux news in the background (Hannity screeching something incomprehensible), trying to read the NYT and actually, well, understand it.

(6,535 posts)Like FDR had "all we have to fear is fear itself" and JFK is remembered for "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country" (among other things), and we have Nixon on the other end of the spectrum with "I am not a crook!"...and now Donny Bonespurs has finally come out with a truly memorable pronouncement that is truly poignant and appropriate for his tenure: "I'm fucked."
Oddly enough, this is fairly close to what I said the night of 11/9/2016, after the election was called, speaking of us collectively as a nation. I turned to my wife and said, "welp...we're fucked."
Also I was thinking of ordering a red hat from one of those custom hats & shirts places, with that instead of the MAGA slogan. Just "I'm fucked" on the hat. I'm thinking of having a few of these made for some of my relatives; their 2016 campaign hats are getting kinda worn, and they'd probably like a new hat with a more up-to-date slogan from their Supreme Leader and all, right?
"I'm fucked." Hopefully that motto holds true for the dipshit from now until Nov. 2020 (if Bonespurs lasts 'til then, which I doubt.)

America needs to hear exactly what Donald is saying, and not just report as "Donald said, 'That report is Bee Ess'." or print "Donald said it was b*!^%$*%t. Print the words. Let people be offended.
