So, ordering the complete destruction of a country’s civilian infrastructure would be OK as long as no foul language is used?

These people are strange.

@mattblaze Complete silence from Congress.
@mattblaze TBH, that is exactely the impression of the US the rest of the world has.

@cm @mattblaze

There is a quote I've seen online:

There are fascinating little differences between Americans and Australians.

Americans get terribly offended by the word cunt.

Australians get terribly offended by schoolchildren being slaughtered by people with assault rifles.

@davidtheeviloverlord @cm @mattblaze I woke up to Matt's Toot as the first (latest) in my notifications, and with no context, have no idea what the cunt has announced, but this is appropriate: https://chaser.com.au/general-news/aussies-miss-when-morning-routine-didnt-involve/
Aussies miss when morning routine didn't involve finding out whatever the fuck this cunt did today – The Chaser

There's always some shit going on with old mate.

@mattblaze It goes with banning books and allowing toddlers access to guns. Completely consistent.

Nothing new under the sun.

Came here to post this exact quote

@mattblaze I just started reading Zinn's People's History of the United States, and he starts by describing Columbus showing up in the Americas, meeting all these kind, generous people. And of course he immediately decided they would make dandy slaves. It gets worse from there. So much worse. We descendants of those European sailors haven't changed a goddamn bit. We haven't learned a thing.

@mattblaze Half way through visiting the Hiroshima Peace Museum. A reminder, if one was needed, that USA and Israel are the current clubhouse leaders of bombing civilian infrastructure and killing civilians.

Trump obviously feels like Netanyahu has the current lead on war criming killing civilians, and feels like he needs to catch up.

@mattblaze too obsessed with optics and politeness

@mattblaze

A concern about proper language and manners was kind of a running joke in Gilbert and Sullivan's H.M.S. Pinafore. You know we are in trouble when a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta seems more sensible than the evening news.

@mattblaze jazz hands respectability politics!

(I wanted to say, "The Respectacrats!" but)
@mattblaze I'm sure there are some who are desperately clutching their pearls at this profanity, but I think there are more who think 'What new low is this?' because you use profanity when your vocabulary fails due to your emotional response, which CAN have no place in Diplomatic discourse. It is less a threat to Iran than displaying to the world that the Tangerine Tyrant doesn't feel the need to care.
