(658 posts)I seriously doubt the forgotten Americans are all sitting around waiting for someone to be "speaking to" them with profanity.
Why can't you folks who aren't offended by foul language understand the nuance of optics and leadership? We DON'T care if Tlaib says motherfucker ten times in a row to her peers behind closed doors. But in the public limelight, first thing, it would have been prudent to show some solid leadership and, oh I don't know, some imagination. I mean, is fuck, fucker, etc. all we got? Calling for impeachment would not have gotten the same attention had it been said without the profanity. As silly as that may be to YOU, it isn't to everyone. Why play into Trump's hands?
But whatever. This debate has already so beyond jumped the shark. Oh, wait, let me rephrase that so I too can sound like I'm a progressive rebel - the motherfucking shark!!!
