Pussy grabbing, incessant lying, backstabbing allies, tongue bathing the enemy, paying for sex with hookers while married - all okay.
Opponent swearing = mortal sin!!!!

The trouble with Rashida TLaib publicly calling Donald Trump a "motherfucker" with no censure from her party is that it undermines the Democrats supposed moral high ground and shows them to be no better and possibly worse than their opponents. If you play the "I'm better than you" card for years and then suddenly lower yourself to your opponents level it shows the world how hypocritical you really were all along.

But, now that we've established that people like Rashida Tlaib are the new voice of the Democratic party let the games begin, because it is now open season on name calling and the vilest most repugnant names are no longer off the table.

So, have fun America because Pandora's box has been opened and it's gonna get nasty, very nasty and it's likely gonna stay that way for a long time after Trump and Rashida have faded from the public stage because you can't just turn off the hate that's being used by both sides.

Unfortunately the US has been a Kakistocracy for a long time and we're not far behind.

That previously unusused word has been in high use for almost 2 years now to describe Trump. For example this article in Atlantic from 2017 called “American Kakistocracy”:

Go ahead, goofgle it, you’ll find countless articles using that term to describe Trump. Just shows what a bubble you’re living in, and how the right wing garbage outlets rip off and repackage other people’s ideas and try to deflect the criticisms against them

The earliest use of the word dates to the seventeenth century, in Paul Gosnold's A sermon Preached at the Publique Fast the ninth day of Aug. 1644 at St. Maries:[3]

"Therefore we need not make any scruple of praying against such: against those Sanctimonious Incendiaries, who have fetched fire from heaven to set their Country in combustion, have pretended Religion to raise and maintaine a most wicked rebellion: against those Nero's, who have ripped up the wombe of the mother that bare them, and wounded the breasts that gave them sucke: against those Cannibal's who feed upon the flesh and are drunke with the bloud of their own brethren: against those Catiline's who seeke their private ends in the publicke disturbance, and have set the Kingdome on fire to rost their owne egges: against those tempests of the State, those restlesse spirits who can no longer live, then be stickling and medling; who are stung with a perpetuall itch of changing and innovating, transforming our old Hierarchy into a new Presbytery, and this againe into a newer Independency; and our well-temperd Monarchy into a mad kinde of Kakistocracy. Good Lord!

So, it would appear that it isn't just the right wing outlets who rip off and repackage other peoples ideas.

Nice try. Do you even hear yourself? I never said they invented the word. How is it a rip off to use words that exist?

It’s an archaic word that was in disuse but has been brought back into popular use over the past 2 years by many to describe trump. And suddenly the Right is now starting to use it indiscriminately.

Former prime minister Kim Campbell cusses out Trump in tweet

Facebook
Twitter

Campbell's tweet mirrors language used by Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib earlier this week

CBC News · Posted: Jan 06, 2019 2:11 PM ET | Last Updated: 3 minutes ago

Former Progressive Conservative prime minister Kim Campbell caused a stir online when she referred to U.S. President Donald Trump with a profanity over the weekend in a nod to a speech that landed a newly elected Democratic U.S. congresswoman in hot water earlier this week.

Responding to a tweet about building a border wall, Campbell, who was in office from June to October 1993, tweeted on Saturday that the president "really IS a motherf----r!"

The tweet echoed the language used by Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib during an event on Thursday while predicting the new House will impeach President Donald Trump.

...After receiving a flood of response — a mix of angry and supportive — Campbell followed up on Twitter saying "if you don't get the reference to the comment by Congresswoman Taib [sic] - can't help you," adding that her views are much tamer compared to former Mexican president Vicente Fox Quesada.

"I am MAGA compared to my pal," she said.

As of Sunday afternoon her original tweet had more than 2,000 retweets.

So, you're saying that if someone scours the dictionaries of archaic words to come up with a term that hasn't been in popular use for an extended period of time they then get to claim ownership of the word and no one should use it henceforth?

I'm sorry but, it's a cool word describing politicians of all political stripes and should get much more air play than it does. But, I doubt the ultracepidarians of the world would understand that.

kakistocracy - government by the least suitable or competent citizens of a state

Entirely fits the bill for the last two years of all-GOP government, as well as the all-GOP congress from 2010 to 2018. They have no intention of running the government properly, and never had that intention at all. In fact they do what they can to make government more dysfunctional, in order to turn around to their idiot supporters and go "ha-ha! see? told you the government can't do anything right!" even though it's they who deliberately hamstring the ability of government to work. They're only interested in a big military to scare others with and in arranging that the wealthy never get bothered by excessive rules or laws. Other than that the government can collapse altogether for all they care.

It probably can't get any worse than it is now. The next step would be a full-blown government-by-gangsters the way Putin runs things in Russia, with the express built-in purpose of his government being to channel as much money as possible into his personal overseas bank accounts. Donny-boy is a piker compared to the likes of Putin when it comes to committing nation-crippling larceny but that doesn't mean he won't cause as much damage as he can in his attempt to emulate his godfather.

Kim Who,

The second worst Minister of National Defense in Canadian history, most undeserving Prime Minister in Canadian history, third worst Minister of Veteran Affairs in Canadian history and now, apparently the most foul mouthed female who was Prime Minister for 132 days in Canadian history.

That's Kim.

It's unfortunate that she still hasn't clued into how irrelevant she was as PM or why she even became the PM. Because, if she understood her real place in Canadian history she'd be avoiding drawing attention to herself rather than grand standing.

No it’s like how Trumpers are now calling liberals ‘Neocons’ and ‘Corporatists,’ they’re just parroting anything they can to try and take control of the names they’re being called...also because they don’t have any original thoughts of their own.

Oddly enough with her serving in a Mulroney Gov't I'd have to agree with you.
