Mitch McConell says the quiet part out loud.

Exact full quote from CNN:

“People think, increasingly it appears, that we shouldn’t be doing this. Well, let me start by saying we haven’t lost a single American in this war,” McConnell said. “Most of the money that we spend related to Ukraine is actually spent in the US, replenishing weapons, more modern weapons. So it’s actually employing people here and improving our own military for what may lie ahead.”

It's not inane, maybe I'm a cuck who likes to take it in the ass. Now what? How are you supposed to offend anyone with that? In what way is putin like me?

PS: I'm not trying to be hostile, btw, I just think it's filthy language that we absorb and then becomes mainstream and all of a sudden we're like "cuck this, that cuck that" and we already have enough of that around. :/

PPS: back again. I'm not trying to stop anyone swearing or to police speech, if you wanna say it, whatever. Swearing is a healthy practice that helps vent and we have plenty of shit, dick, fuck and assholes to go around, I just don't see how that is a good offense, does it help you vent to see putin be fucked in the ass? Maybe he likes it, lol (ew), it just gives me 4chan PTSD :)
