"MF" is a slang term, and highly insulting to all women. I get that what one is trying to express by the use of the term "MF," is that the person being so labeled is degenerate and depraved, lacking in morals and common decency. So why not just simply say that? That Trump is degenerate, depraved and lacking in morals and decency.

As a Buddhist, I aspire to acquire very clear speech that communicates and gets through the mental fog and obscurations of the RW knuckleheads out there. Calling someone a "MF," just gets their back up and gets them all defensive and hurling insults back. That doesn't seem too effective to me. What I want people to really consider is not only is Trump degenerate and depraved, but in what way he is so. That's my 2 cents about it.

Language doesn't mean much anymore. Slang used to be cute, but now anything that used to be an insult is carried with pride by some folks. Look at what happened when the mindless wretches were called "deplorable", they wore it as a badge of honor.

So, I'd like to see Louis Black or Samantha Bee (she did a great job with names for Trump), come up with a an insult that is beyond hideous and then dare Trump or his pack of deplorables to pick it up and wear it for the 2020 election cycle.

1. I'm all-in for freedom of speech, expression, etc. If you wish to use a term which would imply that our POTUS had an unnaturally close relationship with his maternal parental lineage- fine! (Score yourself 3 bonus points for accuracy) 2. To avoid POTUS from wearing term as a badge of honor however I may again humbly suggest a combination of terms given too him by Robert Mueller and Stormy Daniels. Both of these folks probably have more intimate and revealing knowledge of Trump then any of us could stomach. Individual One and Mz Daniel's reply could be used to create: TINY UNO Sorry long day

Mon Jan 7, 2019, 10:51 AM

As so politely referred to.
Before I cut the cord, I had CNN and msnbc on a lot. I don't use mf as much as fu, which I was saying quite a lot. Trump, Turtle, Walker, Ryan and Meghan McCain bring the fu's out more than anytime else in my life.
My husband pointed out we have young children who live above us. So I was more careful. I don't cuss in front of the grandson either. He is 7 and can learn the words from those not his grandma.
So the cord has been cut, and I choose my news via internet sources. And I find myself watching many more streaming services. Lots of f words there. I find it refreshing women now express themselves openly.
And I don't scream cuss words at the tv any more. I think them in my head as I read.
I also use fuckhead a lot.
I am not shocked by language, not picky about prose. Don't give a shit about sentence structure, as my deceased speech teacher high school principle father rolls in his grave.
But we do need to communicate to these motherfucking assholes that we are tired of and will no longer put up with their shit. And women and people of color and in particular women of color have every right to curse about these fucking republicans. And these republicans have to know women are not saying fuck me, they are saying fuck you, loudy and publicly. And that it needs to be repeated again and again. Republicans have been fucking us over for years, but more so the past 2 years. And everyone of those motherfucking assholes needs to be held responsible for the damage they are doing to our country.
