Things learned today:

You can call Bernie Sanders a motherfucker for no reason all damn day, and not get hid.

Call Bill Clinton a motherfucker for talking down to BLM, twisting their words and essentially looking like he just got a job as a political correspondent at Fox News, and everyone loses their goddamn minds!

The hypocrisy is fucking glaring. But hey, what else am I supposed to expect? Guess the wind blew a tad too hard at an inopportune moment.

Maybe it's because I'm from the South?
But, we just don't use that kind of language very often.
In fact, the only person that I think should always be called that is Dick Cheney.
It should be reserved for him.
Dick M.F. Cheney.

"Motherfucker" has become close to punctuation level for me, and to be fair, prior to now I've only felt it useful to describe three people: George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and Tony Blair. I suppose motherfucker's a bit harsh, but internfucker doesn't roll off the tongue, and ratfucker is easily refuted.

Besides, it was a hypocrisy check for DU. They failed.

He was complicit with Cheney.
So, let's call him Tony son of MF Blair.
I can't hate W. He was just a pawn. A clown that Rove managed to mask what Cheney, the real President, was getting by with.
Cheney is the most loathsome creature of our generation.

I just... I have a hard time believing someone with enough ambition to get to the White House could be so fucking stupid.

Well, I guess she could be described as the mother of all fuckers though.
