'F-bomb'. US media is hilarious sometimes.

Especially when they go on to literally quote whatever hateful shit Trump spews out.

Yeah but he didn't curse! He jumped through the boomer hoops, so he's ok.

Gotta say F-Bomb, but totally fine describing the violence in Gaza or Ukraine including pictures. Violence is A-okay, mean ol bad words? Pearl clutch

Remember this is the media that was offended by the word "pussy" being used, as opposed to the sexual assault that was being discussed. The word pussy is so locker room talk...if Ronald McDonald had only used another term when bragging about sexual assault that would be okay?

“We have to know that sometimes people will open the door for you and leave it open,” the US vice-president said. “Sometimes they won’t, and then you need to kick that fucking door down.”

Whelp it's decided, I am going to kick down a bank vault door. Because Harris said fucking.

/sarcasm

Make sure you leave it open for me so that she doesn't have to swear again

This kind of language from our Vice President is going to outrage evangelicals even more than Trump grabbing women by their ......

Oh, wait. That didn't bother them at all.

Never mind.

Is that the kind of bombs we’ll be sending to Israel soon?

Ah thanks Kamala.

Just not when kids are protesting genocide or anything like that. Then they should be quiet and shut up

I'm trying to break down the barriers between the working class and the means of production. That barrier is the rich and we will eat them. Thanks for the inspiration

Oh no she said a bad word... STOP ALL MONEY & WEAPONS TO ISRAEL

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Twelve minutes into a health forum discussion for Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander organizations, Kamala Harris on Monday offered a punchy piece of advice to younger members of the audience.

Harris, who is out front for the Biden-Harris re-election campaign on women’s and reproductive rights, made the remarks at a leadership summit at which she also described how her parents had met at a civil rights march.

But while presidents and vice-presidents do not customarily use profanity, it is becoming more common, though often in private or leaked conversations.

Joe Biden recently referred to rival Donald Trump as “a sick fuck”, and to the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, as a “bad fucking guy” and an “asshole.”

Lyndon Johnson swore so much that it would be impossible to document all of it, according to a recent essay by the historian Tevi Troy in the City Journal, including the lament: “I don’t know what the fuck to do about Vietnam.”

But few of those were meant as calls to action, leaving Harris, as she said in her discussion, “breaking down barriers”.


The original article contains 364 words, the summary contains 182 words. Saved 50%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Good bot, but as a teen I read those newspaper transcripts of the Watergate tapes, and they were one fucking (expletive deleted) after another! Nixon couldn't string two sentences together without profanity. He may not have used them to urge college students to make their mark on the nation but he sure as fuck used them to urge his henches to get some fucking dirt on Kennedy (which should have been easier with all his fucking around).

She broke her barriers by blowing the Mayor of San Francisco.

Sorry but I'm not going to take orders from a cop

Yeah. Stay within those barriers. That'll show em!

What a weird comment. If a cop tells me to go eat pizza, I'll say "one, fuck you. Two, okay, pizza is delicious that's a good idea."

I think you're reading into it a bit much. Cops love to rile people up to break the law. They get off on it. I was just making a joke off that

Yeah, now I'm just hungry

While you’re ordering, would you grab me a gluten free crust? I’d appreciate it!

You paying me up front? Those things are twice the price!
