Poor Dr. Fauci having to put up with all this. Then again, all the people he helped with fighting AIDS are people despised by the right. Argggh!

Sounds like how a short-fingered vulgarian would talk

This memoir sounds fascinating. I feel so bad that Trump and his gang of moron lickspittles turned Fauci into this lightning rod for controversy. I'll be interested in hearing his own words.

"The feral possums of the Right..."

FERAL POSSUM LIBELS! Possums may be a weird assemblage, and one of Nature's more whimsical creations, but an unrelated possum will take care of orphaned possum babies. Unlike Republicans.

"Picture a hailstorm, only the hail is just the word fuck pounding the roof of your house like it’s being fired out of the rotary cannon of an F-35."

I'm Australian, this is daily life. But yeah, not appropriate language from the President of the United States of America to a top government official.

I have always considered "fair dinkum" profanity.

did Tony Robbins make Smelvis walk barefoot over heated rocks?

The F-35 is okay, I guess, but it's got nothing on the Fucking-A-10 Warthog.

I think it's interesting how the Air Force leadership always wants to get rid of the A-10 for much more expensive planes that aren't versatile, cost billions more, and can't do close air support.

The other branches love the A-10 and don't care for the top gun doesn't work bullshit that makes the Air Force hard.

An Army friend of mine said the same thing about the Hummer - the Chevy trucks they used performed much better, cheaper and could fit in the smaller European streets.

What about those robo-machine guns in The Matrix? I don't know the exact specs, but must be somewhere around a gazillion rounds a second.

OK now I will have to cut back on my usage of fuck every 5 words or so.

This might just be just the thing to motivate me.

I don't want people to think I am emulating Trump.

I thought the same earlier today 😊

Lesson learned from the COVID pandemic: asking Americans to modify their behavior for the common good is political suicide. If this bird flu thing takes off, we are all dead.

And this could apply to *any* sort of national crisis.

Which is why we got squat for EVs here and they are everywhere in Portugal; BMWs, VW IDs, Audis, MBs...

President Klan Robe, ever the vulgarian.

And he is determined to strike in America this Fall. The counter is us, each one teach one and get them to the polls. Have your voting plan together as well, www.vote.org because there's always suppression out there.

Mount up!

The man is a demented moron and a pathological liar. Someone should either write a book or make a movie called "Donny's World".

We all lived more or less near each other when I was growing up.

One day, I was walking past my aunt and uncle's house, and Cousin Garlic was out front trying to fix his piece of crap car.

I was like, "What's the matter with your car, Cuz?"

He gestures with exasperation and yells, "THE FUCKIN' FUCK WON'T FUCK!"

The sad thing is, I knew EXACTLY what he meant.

During apartment living, I amused myself with the couple next door who could use that and SHIT as a noun, verb, adjective and adverb. Constantly.

Major Kong's avatar

The French do the same with "merde".

I fucking hate it when the fuckin' fuck won't fuck.

AlbertCamus's avatar

gotta fix the fucker.

Johnny Appleseed's avatar

As long as the fuckin' fuck doesn't fall the fuck off!

At least Trump had the two synapses firing that told him firing Dr Fauci would make TRUMP look bad.

Republican Presidents : B-movie Actor; Delinquent Son; Felon. Democratic Presidents : Rhodes Scholar; Constitutional Scholar; Career Politician. 🤔 Which party to choose...

John Thorstensen's avatar

Well, Bush Sr. wasn't a total loser, having flown torpedo planes in the Pacific. But he was the personification of dweeb and not especially distinguished, to say the least.

Hank Napkin's avatar

Bush the Elder seemed a decent chap — as decent as an ex-CIA director can be — but as a single-term blinding Five Rob Roy hangover from Reagan, I discount him. To use his own words: “Nah gonna doit”. Latin? For something?

Don’t forget the nuclear submarine officer.

Johnny Appleseed's avatar

Do Trump's kids! Jr alone would be worth the price of admission.

Hank Napkin's avatar

Jr. is proof that you can get pregnant from a toilet seat.

John Thorstensen's avatar

Or the clap.

"I got it from the toilet seat,

I got it from the toilet seat!

It jumped right up [zip!]

and grabbed my meat!"

Hank Napkin's avatar

“…grabbed my meat” doesn’t explain how Mr. Trump got it…

Hooker P Tape's Epstein files's avatar

I blame reality TV. Everything is entertainment now when it should be the opposite.

The party of the common man, naturally. Don't want those elitists in charge! They don't understand real America.

Hank Napkin's avatar

You mean ‘Murka? Odd Glory U.S. spells “us” ‘Murka?

"Donald Trump says some variation of “fuck” a lot"

But it's still a good word. He can't ruin it--we won't let him.

Caepan's avatar

Fuck that felonious fuck!

Tessie's avatar

That's OUR word, and we're taking it back!

VwllssWndr's avatar

In that case he should be honored when I say "Fuck Donald fucking Trump, that fucking fucker."

Daniel O'Riordan's avatar

John Lennon's Working Class Hero interview with Rolling Stone, fuck was practically every other word out of his mouth. It felt like poetry.

This, not so much.

Clark Nova's avatar

Pronouncing it as "fook" gives it a lot more class.
