Right, which is why I’m rather confused as to why we’re getting at her for her language. They were looking for an excuse, using “****” instead of “bitch” would not have made any difference to them, so why does it to us?

You seem to be saying we are throwing Samantha under the bus. I don’t think we are. We were hoping she wouldn’t have used the word because of how this is working for Trump and outraged wingnuts.

We are also hoping she doesn’t lose her show over this. That is what “they” want.

I bet if you could ask Samantha about it today she would be in agreement.

The right is a perpetual outrage machine that has the political field covered in their landmines. You just have to watch where you step.

One word. Was it needed?

If I am outraged over anything it is the fact that these are the rules of the political wars. Is it fair? Oh hell no. But what has been fair since Trump announced in 2015?

And the media isn’t helping. They love the outrage.
