Funniest episode of the season.

HBO’s “Veep” Breaks a Huge Language Taboo, Using the “C” Word For Real

Tonight’s episode of “Veep” is officially called “C—gate.” Apparently the word is used quite liberally in the episode.

Outside of the N word, I can’t think of anything other than the C word which is completely verboten everywhere. Even the f- word finds its way into some mainstream things, and shit so do some others.

But HBO and JDL are going for it. I’ll watch at 10:30 and we’ll see how they do this. “Veep” is the best comedy on TV outside of “Fox and Friends.” And the latter is unintentionally a hoot...

You know I have to think rjsquirrel Jul 2016 #1

you make a good point. I believe this topic will become less and less, as more folks here will still_one Jul 2016 #56

In other words it's perfectly fine to debase women Happyhippychick Jul 2016 #2

So how exactly does one post there if they are not a member? hobbit709 Jul 2016 #3

Did Trumad say non-members can post? No. emulatorloo Jul 2016 #51

It certainly is implied by the OP if you use certain words. hobbit709 Jul 2016 #53

This obsession with a splinter site here makes du suck. morningfog Jul 2016 #12

You don't enjoy the mocking of idiots? snooper2 Jul 2016 #25

As a Hillary supporter, I tend to agree. auntpurl Jul 2016 #29

They seem to be getting more trafffic. bemildred Jul 2016 #13

It's not surprising since a handful of DUers are obsessed and post links morningfog Jul 2016 #14

It's surprising to me. bemildred Jul 2016 #15

Indeed. It seems some people are upset that they can't have the same kind of disruptive shouting Chathamization Jul 2016 #21

Or people are upset that those people still have posting privileges here. JTFrog Jul 2016 #32

Right, people are using it as a way to complain about posters here while pretending they aren't Chathamization Jul 2016 #40

That's nothing new. Hell, one can admit to alert-stalking and still serve on MIRT! n/t arcane1 Jul 2016 #42

I bet they get a lot of traffic today if Bernie endorses Hillary as expected workinclasszero Jul 2016 #17

You have strange tastes. nt bemildred Jul 2016 #20

Some members here have a odd desire to shunt traffic to that site. Lancero Jul 2016 #27

I can see that, lots of former DU posters there, too. bemildred Jul 2016 #30

They drove a lot of em away, just like they wanted, yet they can't leave em alone. Lancero Jul 2016 #33

I think some people like to argue. A lot. Even with people who clearly are not listening. nt bemildred Jul 2016 #34

Some act like sore winners. R. Daneel Olivaw Jul 2016 #49

Didn't put much stock in those claims at first, but seeing this site the past couple weeks... Lancero Jul 2016 #59

For some, it was never about Hillary or Bernie, or even about politics in general n/t arcane1 Jul 2016 #46

Agreed, most evidenced by those who are now attacking Senator Sanders on JPR emulatorloo Jul 2016 #58

I agree with this cyberswede Jul 2016 #60

This is incredibly childish. Marr Jul 2016 #35

Plenty of current DU members there. Kingofalldems Jul 2016 #36

There sure are. R. Daneel Olivaw Jul 2016 #50

There it is again---the old grow up meme. trumad Jul 2016 #38

Maybe it isn't a 'meme', but just a suggestion you keep inspiring. Marr Jul 2016 #47

Agreed about JPR. Some very good posters. Disagree that DU is overrun by racist right-wing trolls emulatorloo Jul 2016 #67
