I'm proud of you, DUers! the loathsome name is in OP titles of only 7 of the over 80

posts on latest threads. It's been not even a month since Jan 20, and already, you are all making that monster a name we rarely have to even see. I am sure that the MSM will keep the big blob as its binkie for some time yet, and the terrible tangerine will throw whatever hissy fits needed to keep its name in the headlines.

But we don't have to take the bait and go there. Hope has returned, and their names are Joe and Kamala.

Keep up the great work!!!!

There are infinite variations on that theme, counting all the typos and misspellings.

never wrote it associated with the word "president." Never. Got to keep up my self respect, somehow. He was always dump to me. Read into that whatever you please.

I never say "president" before a GOP POTUS's name. It was always Bush, Reagun, etc. NEVER "president so and so".

I only wrote his name a "tRump". This was a purposeful decision that I made in 2016.

When I was a 1st grade teacher I never celebrated "Presidents' Day" with a specific, current GOP POTUS. They didn't exist in my classroom.

Nixon: crook, tried to subvert an election he couldn't possibly have lost. Ford: feckless. Reagan: with Ollie North flouted the law, loved trickle down economics. GHW Bush: feckless--there is no economic problem. Other Bush: international crook and liar. dump: not a Republican, but anyway--unspeakable, anti-American, evil monster.

the awful and often criminal actions that the GOP does when they are the majority. They wanted chaos and elected tRump to give them chaos. Are they happy with what they got?

Dave Ball, the head repug in PA. Starting with Newt Gingrich, then growing with the Tea Party, and culmination (I fervently hope) with dump, a significant number of Americans want chaos; they want to tear it all down. It will hard to get that genie back in the bottle. This is what your avatar is screaming about.
