<Don't do that.>



Sorry...

Doesn't count, he technically wasn't POTUS at the time.   *****rollingeyes*****

President Johnson couldn't get through a sentence without profanity.  Never made the news like this.

Different times.

ALL Presidents were protected from scandal back then.  Kennedy got away with womanizing and Clinton and Trump don't.

We didn't find out about Nixon's language problem until the tapes came out.  We know about Trump's because he was televised long before he decided his next gig was being President.

Many more things make the news now.
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

"Sometimes I think the Church would be better off if we would call a moratorium on activity for about six weeks and just wait on God to see what He is waiting to do for us. That's what they did before Pentecost."   - A. W. Tozer

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.

I don't believe Trump used profanity, especially after the profanity from Tlaib.  That being said, I really don't care if they come to physical blows --- just as long as it's not in front of the cameras.  A 2x4 to the heads of Pelosi and Schumer may be exactly what the doctor's ordered.   :laugh:

Yessiree.  Donkeys, including Dems, of course, have an Attention Deficit Disorder.  A 2X4 isn't coercive, but therapeutic.  A 2X4 restores a donkey's attention, as any good Behavioral Health Specialist would surely tell you.

I should add that if the 2X4 doesn't deliver a therapeutic dose, one should not just swing it harder, but switch to about a nine-pound sledgehammer.  Titrate for effect.

Yeah - and if he does again in that capacity, the reasoning away will be ‘we already knew this about him,’ ‘he’s a NY street fighter,’ or something to that effect.
I disagree.  Circle gets the square.
