God I can't wait to not have to scroll past her dumb cunt of an existence.
Comment (and others like it) is being reported for strong language, I'd note on the civility rule, targeting the subject of an article with strong language is ABSOLUTELY fine. Just not other users, and no user is being targeted here.
The only removable language are words that rise to the level of slurs and I wouldn't say, as strong as this one is, that it's at that level.
Fuck her, she's a cunt and a useless cunt at that.
As my wife would say "neither the depth, nor the warmth".
Well said. Also, that particular word is interesting for how it is received in the US (generally) vs. the UK (again, generally).
Or Australia... but I'm 100% certain they meant it in the US sense, not the Aussie sense. ;)
~~Northeast~~ Northwest Georgia will never get tired of sending that person to Congress.
Edit: because I still confuse my right and left
I agree, but she represents Northwest Georgia.
Honestly it's funny, I read right and left wing content and the only people who ever mentioned this dumb treestump are people on the left. It's like the right doesn't even want to admit she's on their side.
She was on Fox news just a few weeks ago.
Press X to doubt.
I don't watch Fox News but that's not too surprising.
I gather that is more recently. Before she became a household name, they seemed into her enough.
