Chappelle  is both funny and sarcastic (which sometimes bites too hard to be funny - but maybe that is the purpose). As for the language, it is vulgarity, not profanity. They are different. Resisting German vulgarisms is also racist, i.e., fucked up.

Regarding Donald Trump. He needs to be arrested, evaluated for mental stability by NIH (not the Navy), removed by Pence (as part of his plea deal), impeached, tried in the Senate, DC and NY (with his children)  and subjected to civil asset forfeiture. Let his kids off, as long as they are left poor.

I responded to the America Magazine post on their site and my Christian Left blog. The sexual revolution did not bring about abuse (nor did celibacy), Hellenistic stoicism did (with its attendant misogyny and glorification of the asexual ideal. Asexuality needs to be recognized in the Church and asexuals need to be outed to themselves. Most asexuals are not abusers - and anyone who has childish sexuality should be feared, not venerated. That is how the Church can support priests. Celibacy should still be junked, as well as Medieval governance. Ordain married lesbians and everyone else in the spectrum between them and the status quo.

The GOP pundit and non-profit class is coming apart at the seams. I am neither surprised or saddened. We do not impeach for spelling errors. We have enough reasons. I hope some of these mistakes are deliberate moves to embarrass Trump. I can't wait for the tell-all book. Once the GOP dies, class issues will be laid bare by competition between the neo-liberal and socialistic branches and create two new parties in its wake. The death of the GOP will end the debate on abortion. Both new parties need to clearly state that getting rid of Roe also gets rid of Brown and brings back Plessy. Congress could act, but not in the first trimester because that would require investigating miscarriages. Not doing so would be unconstitutional under due process rules. Selective enforcement of abortionists is not allowed. The Church needs to throw its weight to the socialists, shout out the environmental wing and encourage enactment of a refundable child tax credit ($1000/month/child).
