(15,139 posts)stripes can handle one F bomb. People pay to hear multiple F bombs at movie theatres, on cable tv, at concerts, etc. If Brian Williams owes any apologies, he should consider one to the American people for abrogating his duty as a journalist by too often kissing Republican ass.

(23,295 posts)I think Betos F bomb endeared him more to most folks, if thats even possible. I wish I could give him a big old hug.

(113 posts)If Beto arises to any national prominence (something that I at this moment feel will happen), FOX "News" will play this soundbyte over and over and over and over again. "He doesn't talk nice! A real Christian would ain't never talk like that!!!"
Sigh.....

I'd like to give him a hug, too
Thank You for the report, MontanaMama.

(23,295 posts)I just love Beto and wanted this so badly for him. Hes been campaigning for 22 fucking months. The guy has got to be beyond exhausted. He was raw and emotional and ON. He deserves a rest and then I hope we get him back.

Yes, I'm sure a lot of us are wondering what's next for Beto O'Rourke! I'm thinking maybe when a Dem wins POTUS.. maybe something there? Who knows!
It does feel better to be able to commiserate with kindred spirits about our losses and our WINS.
Thank You, MontanaMama! At least we have the freaking HOUSE!

It was absolutely authentic and needed no apology. The man worked his butt off for nearly two years and was expressing gratitude to all his supporters.
If anything, the words made him all the more real. Which is what people loved about his campaign.
Brian Williams needs to chill.

TBH, I THOUGHT HIS WORDS WERE A PURE AND AWESOME REACTION!!!!
It's not like he bragged about grabbing Women by the pussy like Chump did...
