Not a historian, but to my knowledge, this is the first time a sitting US Senator — or member of Congress, generally — or perhaps any senior US gov’t official — has included an f-bomb in an official press release. www.duckworth.senate.gov/news/press-r...
I mean they did include an asterix
It’s clear that Democrats have finally decided swearing is okay when talking about [waves hand around]
A chat, that included the VP, the man, who when don flabby and crabby at 80,dies, will become president, used emojis while discussing killing people in a foreign country by actually dropping a BOMB and she, a retired soldier, is being chastised for typing the F BOMB, this is the spin??
A redacted f-bomb in print less impact. The video by Pete Buttigieg is far more impactful. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP82tnNR9/
💙 I'm with her on this. I think I've used the "F" bomb more in the two months the orange terd has been in office than I have my 69 years of life.
I’m here for it💯
AMEN......
Trump said experience wasn’t necessary for the job. Now the entire system runs on sticky notes, crossed fingers and text messages.
These inept fools. Dangerous, mind-numbing, and total ignorance. Administration of freaks!
You go, girl.
I love Sen Duckworth❤️
Accurate description of the person she's referring to though
It’s about fucking time!
"From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe." .....Secretary Pete Buttigeig
And that is great!
Shes bought and paid by aipac which is extra despicable as a disabled person. Much like pelosi if it aint big enough she dont care. I mailed her an idea about helping trans ppl and got a chatgpt letter back in gibberish a month later
It's 2025 and almost everything is fucked.
She's had it with them like the rest of us
She explained she was using her "military language." Good for her. Sen. Duckworth knows what's at stake.
She explained she was using her "military language." Good for her. Sen. Duckworth knows what's at stake.
And we need more of it. Decorum and old playbooks won't get rid of these fascist, criminal motherfuckers! Unfiltered, organized anger just might. And I am going to give them everything I have! We all should!
As a German I have noted in my book of vocabulary that “Decorum” refers to the feces left all over that house by the insurrectionists.
It was about time.
👏👏👏
It’s about fuck’n time!
😂💕🙏🏻
At least I can be fcking proud of ONE of my Illinois senators.
Serious times call for f bombs
I fuck with this.
Illinois is so proud of her. We wish we had 2 senators with the courage to fight!
Given the person and the situation I found it completely acceptable and actually laudable. Well done Senator, 👏💯🥂
I love it! Talk dirty to me...
So proud of my Senator out calling calling a fucking liar a fucking liar 🤥💙
I’m sick of the GOP Congress holier than thou attitude when they have mocked, laughed and shown penises while in Congress. Good for her.
It came from the fucking heart!
Met the moment. Yay.
@duckworth.senate.gov has always been a trail blazer.
She's my girl...ain't playing.
That is my senator!!!!!! Love Tammy!
Go, Tammy Duckworth! I agree wholeheartedly. ALL of the idiots in the group chat, with the sole exception of Daniel Goldberg, should be up on charges ALREADY.
Long overdue tho...
I'm not mad either
Good
Watching those two or three goons being questioned several days ago reminded me of asking which of my dogs destroyed my old feather pillow. They want to pass blame. They want you to be distracted. You know, lets paint the Washington Monument Red, White and Blue.
Difficult times need to be punctuated appropriately. This situation absolutely was F bomb worthy.
That “F” bomb was certainly warranted for the degree of malfeasance of these imbeciles
You just kind of have to swear your brains out over this reckless disregard for safety or basic OPSEC!
I'm happy with my senator speaking out. As a father to a daughter in the military, I share her outrage at the incompetence that puts our people in uniform in harms way.
It’s about time they did! and STOP voting for Trump appointees. @kaine.senate.gov @markwarner.bsky.social
Good for him
Senator Duckworth saw the need.
That’s my Senator. Love her. Not only Hegseth but all of the administration are liars. That was a qualification of being chosen for a cabinet position.
That’s my senator!
I want to know if this method of communication has been going on for the past 60 days they have been in office. The site states Signal Chat, and it was lazy to not know your job convo system. This is not high school, this job is not a training job; learn as you go. Hegseth is the bottom line.
I love her! Sweary and brief. Chef's kiss!
It's about fucking time
Fuck yes
Deservedly so. 👏
Good for her! It's about time!
She knows what can happen.
That's what she calls her Army vernacular
She was simply stating the truth. I applaud her!
I like it.
About damn time. These are not ordinary times.
CHICAGO!
It's not like she called him a Jagoff. That's more of a last option.
Sometimes it’s the only word that works.
Thank you for standing up to the tyrant !
I’ve been dropping them every day since November when reading paper after years of abstaining!!!
Amen! She is absolutely right!
You can say the word fuck. What are we, 13?
Unlike many at the top of this administration, this woman has more than paid her dues & has done more to make America great than the whole lot of them. If she uses the F-bomb over concern for them putting the lives of American soldiers at risk, then you know it is merited.
Where are the defenders of the United States Constitution?
It was a perfect official press release. Perfect.
It’s about time
The times they are a changing- we are being destroyed by this regime.
😮
Personally, I don't think F-bombs are used often enough in (public facing) government pressers and press releases. Enough with the "manners" already (I'm talking to YOU Sen Susan Collins) we need to get shit handled.
Yes!!!!!
and it was well deserved
Fuck yeah!
"needs to" got shot by "not gonna happen" people don't give up power we all know what has to be done i'll be over here chillin when yall realize finally come find me.
STFU, while the orange criminal is running rough shot over the US government
Duckworth means business.
If only there were more like her!
Good for her!
I’m ok with it. Fuck yeah
F-Bomb is indeed needed!
Apropos
Maybe a really old one, where they’re saying, “thouest may fuck thyself.”
I’m OK with it. It struck me the first time I heard Pete Buttigieg throw an F-bomb. But now I’m kind of liking it on some of these people. You know, like Ms. Crockett.
IT’S ABOUT TIME!
Excellent choice of words, I'd say
Agree with her. We are outraged. She lost both her legs in combat!!! She is livid!!! As we all should be !!!!!!!!!
A well deserved f-bomb!
And…I am here for it!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
👊💙
Good for her and all of us. The energy of every awake American right now: youtu.be/B2LLB9CGfLs?...
My Senator! 😁 (The good one of two.)
And I think we are all here for it at this point
wow, an F-bomb! omg, could you imagine if she actually fucking did something next? wouldn't that be WILD?
Wow - just wow!!!!!!
Well justified. Plus a few more expletives could also be added
probably SHOULD have been happening since Jan. 20th. Better late than never!
isn't it so sweet seeing people trying to keep women like @duckworth.senate.gov and @repjasmine.bsky.social in their little plastic Barbie boxes of docile subservience? so cute. making it into a story. a longer story than it has to be. really. it's adorable.
Yes!! More F bombs please!!!
I think it’s an American concern.
And it needed to be said.
Let’s see the times require drastic measures Even my WWII vet dad would be so angry and frustrated he would have droppped an f bomb
"Nuts"
You do what you have to do when the times call for it.
Okay, but according to my Discover feed, this sort of thing is useless because she’s not specifically calling for his impeachment. Or successfully impeaching and removing him, depending on how completely fucking stupid the skeet is.
I heard Elon Musk was going to get to the bottom of what happened on Signal and find out how Goldberg was able to hack into the chat, so Sen. Duckworth can probably relax. The DOGE kids are on the job. /s
If I was gonna put money on it I'd have gone with the Great State of Chicago.
Maybe it’s appropriate when our country is turning into an authoritarian state. Reminds me of when David Ortiz dropped the F bomb addressing Fenway park after the Boston Marathon terror attack. He got a pass
Come after me go ahead! I think it’s demoralizing to speak like this to the public. Act like you’re a Senator even when your opponents are scum.
I don’t feel “demoralized.” I feel like, “FINALLY!!!”
I get that!! Yes I do!! Lots of demeaning language available to say it! Granted, she might have to look up the words, but they’re there!
What are your thoughts about representative MTG? 🤔
She is the most morally, reprehensible, repugnant, and ignorant person out there!
I needed to be said.
Missed the letter “T”. Lol
Maybe this is like when you heard your parents curse for the first time when they were chastising you and suddenly you KNEW you had screwed up. One can only hope
Coming from a pilot who herself was shot down by enemy fire, it’s entirely appropriate. Glad to share a last name with the Senator.
Read her memoir, Every Day Is A Gift, she’s more than earned the right to speak her mind.
Oii6
The funniest news I've seen today 😂 www.toolzo.online/2025/02/repo...
Well, Schiff is swearing like a sailor on shoreleave in his official videos. I find it rather refreshing.
I see no problem here, do you?
None !!
We could use a lot more F bombs, IMO.
It was overdue.
I don't know but it was the right thing. Hegseth is a fucking liar as are all the rest of this administration
I agree completely
That'll show em
It’s probably the first time it is totally appropriate and beyond reproach.
It was very appropriate in this case......
Senators used to stab each other on the congress and senate floor man. Ask for more.
A glorious f-bomb.
She lost both legs serving this country—she’s earned the right to say whatever the hell she wants. She knows firsthand the price service members pay, unlike Pete and his idiotic Signal fiasco
i'm not worried about people cussing at all
Best and most true post on this thread! HEAR FUCKING HEAR!
He’s an alcoholic.
bsky.app/profile/kati...
She’s just telling the truth with a firm adjective!!
These harsh times warrant the harshest language.
Bravo! I love that I’m seeing this everywhere 👏🌟
Thanks : )
Listen to the women...
She 'gets' it ... you don't need to be demure when dealing with playground bullies & thugs. All they use & understand is profanity or being knocked on their filthy arses.
Hegseth needs to go!
It's a Sign of the times. Sometimes, there is NOT an alternate word that will effectively communicate the intent.
Seems that this administration doesn't bring out the best in anyone.
We need more F bombs from people angered by the incompetence and lies. The time for decorum and polite disagreement has passed.
If anyone has the right to cuss in a press release about the biggest security breach of classified war plans in the Middle East in my lifetime is the woman who lost both her legs when the military helicopter, she was piloting, or just in went down in the Middle East.
Yes!!! 1000 times YES!!!
Lol
Some times certain words need to be spoken…and I’m sure she was doing her best to refrain from saying it more
Good for her. It’s F bomb season. It’s a fucking nightmare
F 💣👊🇺🇸🔥
She is a fighter. She loves the United States and she gave her legs for her country. She is my Senator and I'm proud of her.
This is exactly what I thought when I saw her statement. 💙
You should be
She did not have "bone spurs"
Polite has not been working. Got her attention which is exactly what was needed.
And bless her for it!
This is also the first time in my lifetime that a President has directly employed an “f-bomb” on his own people.
👍🙂
Tami Duckworth is a TRUE patriot. A powerful Senator who kicks ass even though she lost her legs (in armed service). Bless the heart of the spineless Reichpublican that tells her to be more mannered. Fantasize about her bitch slapping that jerk Hegseth, but that would be wrong... Wouldn't it?
Only if caught on film, recorded or documented. Wrong? Not in the least.
Bout freaking time
Because it’s that fucken serious !
Let’s go!
I’m with Tammy!
The question is how the hell did this cabinet get confirmed - who in their right mind thought any of these mouth breathers belong in a place of power. We all know that EM bought the presidency - who bought the Senate and House?
The democratic leaders have some explaining to do if any of their caucus voted for these pricks…..
Leonard Leo with the $1.6 BILLION he got from Reclusive Billionaire Barre Seid.
The Senate majority of fools rubber stamped every unqualified candidate. The only qualification is bend the knee & kiss the ring. They have a slim majority. Any R Senators with a spine? Republican Party is no more. It is full MAGA who don’t care about their constituents (only power). Disgraceful. 🙁
Great question. Many are wondering the same.
I'm guessing Leon did also. He donated to certain Senate and House seats too right? Too many Democrats in the Senate are confirming unqualified nominees
Getting down to brass tacks. The Executive Branch is destroying our country so that it can be overtaken by Russia, but it will probably be China. It's about time a senator has shown some outrage.
Sen Duckworth is a decorated Iraq War combat veteran, but if Hegseth had his way she wouldn’t have even been allowed to BE in combat simply because she had a vagina He’s a disgrace to his position & the military May he continue to see ‘fucking liar’ attached to his name until the end of time
But it was well deserved.
She's a legend..💪and can say whatever she wants.. unlike the incompetent imbecile who is merely posing as Secretary of Defence.
While I am not a frequent user of four letter expletives, on occasion they’re helpful in communicating the seriousness of a situation and to get attention. You go, Tammy!
Vague, but I think I see where she’s going with that.
I'd be angry too, knowing my former fellow friends and soldiers I've been in combat with had their lives put at risk from complete carelessness. Total disregard for those risking their lives in the field.
Senator Duckworth would be a good choice to replace Senator Schumer as minority leader.
An empty chair would be a good choice to replace Senator Schumer. Tammy would be awesome!
Good for her 👍🏼 She’s rightfully pissed and so am 😡
It’s also the only infix in the English language…
Sometimes an f-bomb is the most appropriate word to use…
this is what the dems need fuck schumer and his mild mannered betrayals
We need people with spines
Works for me
They don’t care. Do you? Does anyone care that civilians were killed in this fucking farce to protect Saudi oil? That this entire “war” is at the behest of Saudi Arabia? Flame flag fist bump for these fucking assholes. Raise your voice.
Wish they had run out of oil already. So the royal family can get just what they deserve.
They will pump this poison as long as it makes money. It is so obvious if anyone just wants to learn.
That's why I've got a V8 mate, to run them out of oil quick as I can......does that make sense? 🤔
The oil will burn until we are done. They don’t care. The easiest thing we can do is drive less. Just for starters.
BTW...I got finally booted off X permanently for calling out stupid MAGAts, some of it really bad I admit, involved stuff similar to the below. Only regret is, I can't be on X when trump fails and I would let fly!!!!!.....
Well that’s certainly saying something!
Like the greenies want I've been trying to get all the wind and wonderful sunshine I can into the tank of my V8....but DANG!! It just ain't workin.....!!
Imagine that.
When that happens we won't even know the middle east exists. It will be back to exporting dates and advice on how to handle camels.
Rofl , people should buy more suvs
Sometimes only an F 💣 will do.
Fuck yeah. Especially during the Trump era! 🤬🤬🤬
More please
These “family values” Republicans need it screamed up close in their face until they repent.
In times like these words matter because the actions are killing people. No time to be gracious or courteous towards the inept fascists in this administration
It's about time - there is no other word for this regime!!!
She's earned it, and then some.
I loved it and agreed 💯. The "bomb" was well placed.
With good reason!!
Not news Peter Not even remotely relevant What’s your point? Wait wait, don’t tell me 🙉
Fuck because some times no other word will do!
Exactly!
This has almost taken over and it doesn't seem the US can stop it. www.newsweek.com/fascism-expe...
Some things need an F bomb to describe their f**ked-up-ness.
@votevets.org Y’all better get louder!
I love this so much. Brings to mind the fabulous Jasmine Crockett who got “shitter” into the Congressional Record. More Jasmine and more Tammy, please. And less of the Schumer-esque.
just wait for republicans screaming about it while their dear leader is the worst
We need to get over the concept of "dirty" words. People use bullshit, fucking, asshole, shit and others so regularly that people who are scandalized by them need to just get over it.
Who the fuck cares
Oh I know this one! “Fuck Your Feelings”
Drop all those f-bombs you want Senator Duckworth - they deserve to be told exactly who they are - scum who shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a government office!
There are no polite words that adequately express the disbelief and anger we all feel at this massive fuck-up
SANE people anyway !!
Good for her! He is a FUCKING idiot along with the draft dodger!
Bone spurs
She is a combat pilot for Pete’s sake. Those of us that served know the f bomb is about 4-5 different parts of speech. Can be used as a noun, verb, adverb, adjective….
And the intonations. Context, intention, impact. Swearing in the military is high art.
Steady.........you'll be saying there is actual military intelligence next. 😜
Haha!
And I’m here for it
She said she was using military speak when she wrote it
Her “army voice”! 🫡✊🏼🤩
That’s what she said on Rachel Maddow
We’re beyond decorum. If this is what it takes for America to pay attention, then throw all the f-bombs.
