from someone who was tired of "obscenities."
we have a fucking walking talking obscenity in the WH. A collection of obscenities in the senate. children in cages is obscene!

sometimes the right word is considered profane. and i'm one of the nicest fucking potty mouths you'll ever meet. i try to watch my mouth around my grandchildren but let's face it they are exposed from pre school.

there's just so much else to get riled up over.
