Why do we bleep out swear words? Like... "Fuck Trump"?

This is 2018. Do we really think we are protecting young ears? They've heard it. Believe me.

"Fuck Trump"

Everybody is saying it.

It's the response of a majority of Americans. It has nothing to do with sex. It's simply the best explicative for the current situation.

It's what the lyin' main stream media would say if profits weren't their primary motivation.

Fuck Trump.

It should replace "In God We Trust"on our currency... if you ask me.

I had a well-stocked supply of profanity by the time I was about nine or ten. So, to answer your questions...I don't know.

One reason I don't read Buzzfeed is all the vulgarity.

Intelligent people don't need to use those words.

But, intelligent people are losing this battle right now.

So, fuck this.

I know it's an unintelligent phrase but it fits.

Ask any scientist.

As for Smeghead Don... He's an arsewipe, a prick, a piss artist who talks absolute gobshite. A total dickhead.

#45 is a complete berk who talks a load of bollocks.

Also if you believe Urban Dictionary, followers of Donald Trump are "fucktrumpets".
