IS BARACK OBAMA PLOTTING A COUP?

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Off topic but these days the 'f' word features in mainstream family movies. So maybe what you're talking about isn't family friendly so much as 'church friendly', you know for people that feel the need to cover up table legs because they are too phallic.

Not that it's got anything to do with the topic of course.

Except there isn't a topic because it is based on a false premise.

If your looking at today's events within a context of 4-5 years, it doesn't seem to be a big deal. But I think 10 or 15 years from now, it will become obvious how much executive power increased, starting in 2001.

I think ol' Teddy Roosevelt started the trend. And it was a good thing when he did it.

God forbid you get a new idea for a topic.

When have I posted this particular topic before? Be specific.

that wasn't very family friendly

So happy not to see his race-baiting tripe. Quite pleased with the 'ignore' function.

There aren't enough eye-rolls.

That probably deserves a little more clarification. What 'race-baiting tripe' are you talking about?

Or facepalms...

That's only offensive if you are over 60 and from East London.

It has no offensive connotation outside of that.

Trust me, I'm British and studied linguistics. I know what it means ;-)

Obama doesn't plot anything.. He does what the Democratic Committee tells him to do.

if it isn't intended to be offensive, why did you use it?

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Probably because I assume people have more self-esteem than is actually the case.

idk. you studied linguistics. you couldn't find a better term???

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

No, pretty sure that's the one I wanted to use.

Why does it matter to you?

As of lately one must be careful. Using polysyllabic words is this forum is frowned upon. Some are scared of big words they don't know or understand.
