As good a slogan as any.
Most people understand who the "bums" are, in my opinion.
It's time to clean house and put in a new government in the Senate and the White House.
It's time for a slogan that can synopsize the current political reality in the fewest words possible that people can understand.

Yes, part of me cringes after writing that, but I am damned angry and we have gained nothing by taking the high road--with all due apologies and respect to Michelle Obama.

(6,044 posts)Everyone will know who we mean and it is a nice counterpoint to the Pugs calling us the "Democrat" Party instead of Democratic
We need a 3-4 letter word to fit in headlines anyway and GOP doesn't seem to fit as that party has changed so much. By using Pug instead of Pub, it keeps the "G" of GOP -giving it historical weight.
A new phrase for the Urban Dictionary could be "getting pugged." (which plays off mugged) This could refer to stealing an election or perhaps the Pugs getting candidates placed in office by any means necessary in order to destroy our institutions or government agencies.
America got pugged when the Pugs got Tillerson into the state department to destroy it or de Dos into the Dept of Education or Carson into HUD or when they got Kavanaugh onto the SC to politicize it.
