The prudes all voted for the most obnoxious repulsive human being imaginable so its even become a stretch for the hypocrites to moralize too much about foul language on television when he's tweeting and calling people dogs and sons of bitches.

Too much actual drama in real life, i.e. Trumpville for example.

You still can’t say “Fuck,” but I think that’s the only one. I’m advocate for the ability to use any swear you want on cable TV.
