Those terms have now been forever associated with the American Presidency.
How low need we go?
How do the Christians who say they support him continue to do so?
How do good and decent Americans support that? How do they screen their kids from this? How, for example, do the parents of Boy Scouts feel about this?
Those two phrases will be a part of the Two Scoops legacy.
This is NOT normal.
And our country is the poorer for that.
I know. I have a deep and abiding familiarity with blue language. I am a once and still sailor and have always been all in on the legend of the language. But I am just one nobody out of more than 300 million other nobodies. The standards of decorum for me are VERY different than for the President.

(2,559 posts)It's hard to imagine any sane woman wanting to marry such a creepy person.
On the other hand, there are women who marry convicted serial killers in prison.
Takes all kinds.
My congratulations to the soon-to-be-former Mrs. Scaramucci for getting out of what must be an abusive relationship.

(45,427 posts)it was entertaining watching him defend his statements while people pointed out that trans women don't have periods, most trans men stop getting periods, and the Israelis, Kurds, Russians, and many others have put women soldiers on the front line for decades with no dog-related problems.

(45,427 posts)Bloodhounds sniff out people by scent (both genders) and some pet dogs will sniff a crotch (both genders) from time to time but no evidence of hunting down people by their menstrual blood.
These women soldiers are not worried about dogs

(2,187 posts)For people in a POTUS's cabinet, or for a POTUS himself to use it on the official public record is absolutely disgusting. This is no "Harry Truman moment" either. It's just punk-mouthed garbage.
This administration is bottom of the barrel SCUM.

What's esp. funny about that to me (in a horrific sort of way) is that this isn't even the proper use of the term 'cock-block'.

Personally, I'm more wrought out about the stolen SCOTUS seat and the incompetence and the hate and the racist keebler elf, etc.
but I know.... dirty words are upsetting too. At least to the "good and decent" "Christian" Americans.

And I am wondering...how does Scarumucci know what Bannon is doing with his...you know?
DI'd he watch? If so, why?
And if Reine was doing the block, isn't that like protection kinda like condoms which Pence and team can't stand? Does that make Reine a ...rubberhead?
Now I am getting a visual, so I will stop.
