Now I am not certain that is true.

I am not speaking about people on this board. But the language in politics has gotten so coarse that I just don't want to be a part of it anymore. And this is coming from a person whose very favorite phrase in the whole world is "cluster fuck."

Now this whole administration is one big cluster fuck. It has kind of lost its luster.
