6. Fuck if I know
Wed Nov 12, 2025, 11:20 PM
9 hrs ago

As my favorite protest sign says, “Only 6 weeks [at that time] into this administration and I’m using ‘fuck’ like it’s a comma.”

Please don’t go all word police on those of us who do use ALL CAPS and say FUCK FUCK FUCK a lot. There are a lot of cunty people (British usage) tearing down everything our country has functioned on for 250 years. Honestly, if you don’t like that we use lots of salty language about it, you might be on the wrong board.
