Donald Trump has warned the ‘crazy b******s’ in Iran to open up the Strait of Hormuz in a foul-mouthed social media post on Easter Sunday.

I'm so proud of our president. A great diplomat and a great public speaker. The world is such a better place without him being fucking dead like he should be

Here we are, in a strange world where I have to count fucking a*******s to find out, if the P***S said "bitches" or "bastards" in his latest social media post. Or wait, maybe he said "butchers", or perhaps "bollards"...

It's a god-damned direct quote and the distinction what the asshole in the W***e H***e exactly said is kinda important.
So why is something like this censored on a news site?

Because US Americans are a bunch of P****ES that can't handle swear words and boobs. Mass shootings are okay, though.

...Prudes

"co.uk" TLD ... I assumed it to be a British site?

[–] RustySharp@programming.dev 4 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

They're afraid some American might be smart enough to read, and try to sue them.

(To be honest I just loved the comment about counting asterisks and wanted to use it to comedic effect. When one mentions 'prudes' it's usually associated with Americans, and it so happens that it shares the same letter count as, um, a swearword)

Hey now, bollards are cool.

The Lord sometimes uses imperfect tools to do His Will. The ends occasionally justify the means.

The end times justify the meanness?

Who hasn’t fucked a few kids anyway?

I'm ok with the fascism, reduction of our rights, human trafficking, pedophilia, rape, forced deportations, economic wars against our allies, bombing of civilians, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and bigotry against anyone that is not a cis het white man, but I draw a line at an American President cursing on Easter Sunday.

[–] Soulphite@reddthat.com 24 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Jesus didn't rise from the dead for a dumb pedophile to curse for the entire world to observe. Ridiculous!

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 16 points 4 hours ago

That's right, Jesus did it to find those DEI eggs.

The USA allowed this [paedo, rapist] knob head to take it to war. Amazing.

[–] StillAlive@piefed.world 15 points 3 hours ago

But they were so concerned about Gaza, don't you get it? Both parties are equally bad or something.

Remember when everyone turned on Howard Dean because he yelled weird?

I really liked that dude. Wonder if he's still yelling weird these days.

[–] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 19 points 4 hours ago

Yes and that was a moment of genuine excitement, however unbecoming of a candidate. It torpedoed his character, and career. Absolute farce tbh.

Pepperidge Farms remembers.

Yyyeeeee-aaaahhh!!!

Trump really killed political comedy in the US. Comedians don't even have to change anything. The guy just says the things that used to made fun of. I remember how that journalist said he was working on an exposé for months, and Trump just tweets it out.

I'm enjoying the Jon Stewart approach. Describing totally normal things you'd expect from a president, followed by j/k roll the tape of insanity.
