Kanye West has branded himself a ‘crazy motherfucker’ during an Oval Office meeting with Donald Trump. Addressing reporters with a lengthy monologue Thursday, Kanye said: ‘Trump is on his hero’s journey right now. ‘You might not have expected a crazy motherfucker like Kanye running up to support.’

25. After 4 years of Trump using profanity hundreds of times?
Thu Mar 4, 2021, 07:28 PM
Mar 2021
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/19/us/politics/trump-language.html

WASHINGTON — In modern times, presidents have rarely been church mice afraid of a little salty language. But President Trump has grown increasingly willing in recent months to say in public what most of his predecessors tried to keep behind closed doors.

His is the profanity presidency, full of four-letter denunciations of his enemies and earthy dismissals of allegations lodged against him. At rallies and in interviews, on Twitter and in formal speeches, he relishes the bad-boy language of a shock jock, just one more way of gleefully provoking the political establishment bothered by his norm-shattering ways.

In a single speech on Friday alone, he managed to throw out a “hell,” an “ass” and a couple of “bullshits” for good measure. In the course of just one rally in Panama City Beach, Fla., earlier this month, he tossed out 10 “hells,” three “damns” and a “crap.” The audiences did not seem to mind. They cheered and whooped and applauded.

Instead of apologizing, Biden should say, "I am sorry, that was deeply unfair to Neanderthals. I meant to say single celled paramecium" or something of that nature. "Governor Abbott is dumber than a protozoa." Double down, triple down, don't apologize.

I think all republicans are a bunch of AH's............I don't think they have a brain.................Republicans have said so much..............worse than neanderthal - they have no morals or ability to look at themselves and their own behavior. I just about wish we could keep the immigrants and send Republicans packing...............lol. That is what should happen. Reps are not fit to be in our country or hold a government office. All they do is speak stupidity.

about a politician who wanted to insult his opponent with truthful claims but using words which were meant to suggest other meanings. I don't remember all of them, but I remember one was the claim that the opponent's sister was a "known thespian."

Does any one at Fox know what "Neanderthal" means?
