Jeff Tiedrich - Judge Chutkan gets back to work

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Tanya Chutkan — the judge presiding over the Big Trump DC Election Interference Fuckery Trial — is baaaaack, baby.

Donny’s DC trial had been on hold since forever while the six bought-and-paid-for Federalist Society SCOTUS hacks farted around and took their sweet time pretending to figure out how to rule on this whole are presidents actually kings? thing — as if the corrupt outcome was ever in doubt.

of course, they finally declared that Donny is A Very Special Boy Who Gets To Commit All The Presidential Crimes He Wants — and then dumped the whole thing back in Judge Chutkan’s lap and said here, someone needs to decide if trying to overturn an election is a Special Presidential Not-Crime, or an Ordinary Person Crime-Crime. that someone is you, so figure it the fuck out.

on Friday afternoon, Judge Chutkan received the ok to start the figure it the fuck out process, and she did not waste a moment.

1. Limited vocabulary

I enjoy reading your insightful posts but the profanity is not appreciated. I can’t share your posts with my children or friends. My parents always told me profanity was a sign of limited vocabulary. I know you have a wide and deep range of knowledge and you can be better.

2. Quoted text

Jeff uses that salty language is ALL his posts.

4. Your parents were wrong.

5. Polite society

A flawed study to excuse swearing?
I’m sorry I can’t agree with you, but I respect your incorrect opinion. Of course I’m inclined to defend my parents and the way they raised me.

6. If you have issues with the post or poster then put them on ignore.

Simple.

Oh, and welcome to DU.

7. I can do that

Thanks for the welcome sheshe2!!

My comment is that I can’t share Jeff’s posts with my children, NOT that i disagree. I know how to handle issues.
It seems profanity is that much worse when I consider the source “above that” language and Jeff certainly is that.
Like people that think it’s cute to teach children to swear. Or for me personally when a lady swears.

12. This is going to be a tough place for you

Just a heads up. I am known among my friends as a champion of foul language if I think the situation warrants it, and sometimes I'm even a little surprised around here. Fasten your seatbelt!

13. Fear not

I am not easily offended. I listen carefully to people that disagree with me, they may be the only ones that pay attention to me.
I like spirited conversations, I consider the source.

8. meh.

9. Look where "polite society" has gotten us.

We're THIS CLOSE to Mussolini.

This is too important to "high road" to hell.

11. Agree-disagree

I can agree with your position
I can also disagree both without f-you.

The F word has lost it’s edge but I still find it offensive in daily language. I don’t mind standing alone e/my opinion. Just me, eh?

14. Can you show us on the chart where those bad, bad words hurt you?

15. Reading for comprehension

I never said the profanity hurt me, perhaps you can reread. My issue was not wanting to share the posts with my children.
Snarky comment however.

16. I've been able to read quite comprehensively since the age of five or so. That's a good half-century.

Now, this was before the internet. But I don't remember either of my parents ever saying to me "I was going to share this (book, article, anecdote) with you, but the guy used profanity, so I'm afraid not. See how he ruined this moment for us?"

17. Things left unsaid

I whole heartedly agree with you. Because they didn’t say it to you doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. Parents tend to protect their children. My parents didn’t point it out nor did they intentionally expose me to profanity at a young age either. There are points of view I don’t share with my children because of profanity, not because they’re false or misleading, they’re just plain vulgar.

But then again profanity wasn’t common or welcome in our home, as you point out correctly, pre internet.

3. Improvement

I am painfully aware of that. Improvement can happen anytime, even in the famous and popular.

10. "Sundowning Grandpa Schitzenpantz"

is even better than "weird". It'll make good song lyrics, it's got rhythm.

And with the Deutsch spelling (appropriate for Drumpf), it's not even technically profane.
