Please allow me to make a personal observation.



Something I have noticed ... I never used foul language in posts here on DU until the last couple of years. That lowlife scumbag has gotten on my last nerve. I turned on MSNBC just a few minutes ago and I couldn't stand it. That treasonous idiot was lying his ass off as usual and I had to turn off the TV. If you've seen one bullshit session you've seen them all. Okay thanks. It was an effort but I made it through a post without using too much vulgar language.

I worked hard to get out of the habit of using foul language, but the last four years have caused me to relapse.

I turned off OrangeAss and vacuumed. It was the better thing to do.

Another few days and I'll find out whether or not I've got hardwood floors...

that the computer keyboard industry doesn't sponsor ads on DU, this place certainly seems responsible for keeping them in business!

I have run out of adjectives sufficiently derogatory to adequately express my loathing for Trump.

I used to be mindful of cussing-as a teacher I do not swear in the classroom but this year I have been called every name you could think of (PBS students really have no filter) and it took a long few months to learn it was not personal.

However, the result was an increase of my swearing at home and now thanks to #fatdonnie I swear like a sailor WHAT THE FUCK

To swear like a sailor. I was an Ops Specialist from 1970 until 1978. F**kin was an adjective used in front of every other word. Took me years to change, which became necessary in my career as college faculty, though sometimes students could bring it out of me off campus. But I do not believe I have "ever" threw out the F bombs and any other non PG 13 words, (I know words, I have the best sailor words) like the last 4 years. Good for the world I am isolated. My lab gets nervous, but she still loves me. So....Fuck all trumps and all GOP. My daughter just started in Trauma today, so yea....Fuck trump and all GOP, especially Fox and Rusty Limpballs.

And we ALL should be pissed at this treasonist shit show now. Vets stand together for the oath we still believe in. The enemy IS within, financed from outside.

Why take the time to express your anger in a thousand words when one expletive can do it better?

It certainly comes in handy in these turbulent and insane times.

I cussed like a sailor before Trump, and I will cuss like a sailor after Trump.
