Now I feel bad, teaching my kid cuss words

See, whenever trump is shown on TV, which is constantly, I instinctively blurt out, "trump is a dirty bastard". Now my 10(almost 11 which she wont let me forget) year old daughter says it every time she sees his ugly face on the tube. I dont want my child to swear, but this dirty basyard brings out the worst in me.

and Trump admitted to grabbing women by the pussy.

I think she is smart enough to understand why he would make any sane person cuss.

Cut yourself some slack.

Your daughter will proudly say "the dirty bastard." This story will be hilarious when the teacher calls.

You know who the bad parents are? The ones letting their kids watch Fox "news" and teaching them that MF45 is a "good godly christian man who loves america". Those are the bad parents.

which was “I’m not going to tell you not to swear because I know you will. But I’m telling you that if any teacher of yours or grownup tells me they heard you swear, you will be grounded for a month.”

I also said that when they’re adults they can swear like I do.

It worked, to my great surprise.
