Could be wrong, but I thought we were not going to mention the orange turd anymore

[tiredtoo]

And yet this morning I see two posts concerning him. ???

[hlthe2b]

1. He isn't going away. He shouldn't be a focus, but we can't ignore our enemies.

But, you can trash threads with keywords if you simply can't handle such discussions.

[Ocelot II]

2. You just did....

[PatSeg]

3. He is still part of the world we live in

and his crazy supporters are still among us. As much as we'd like to, we really cannot ignore him.

If he shows up in the news, he will show up here. Someday he will be a distant, unpleasant memory, but not today.

[empedocles]

5. Yep

[brooklynite]

4. I don't recall that "we" agreed to that policy.

[ShazzieB]

28. I know I never agreed to any such policy!

And I would strenuously object if asked to do so.

Like it or not, he still exists, and he is still a threat to our democracy. He is dangerous and will continue to be so until he dies or is beyond bars (or the GOP regains its senses and tells him to go pound sand). Ignoring him or pretending he does not exist would be very unwise, imo.

In addition to that, there has been an uptick of news lately regarding legal action that involves him, and I'm
pretty sure that's only going to increase.

I'm all for not uttering his name any more than is necessary. We have plenty of nicknames to choose from. But never mention him here at all? That's not going to happen.

6. I didn't vote for it

Not that a vote was taken in the first place.

8. How on earth can Trump not be talked about? He exists to the detriment of America

and the world.

[Autumn]

12. I think he's getting fluffed by his sycophants at some State Fair.

16. When I was in college we didn't have computers.

[USALiberal]

10. Silly to not! Really silly not using his name. Nt

[dalton99a]

11. Republicans are controlled by the cult - you can't ignore the cult leader

He won't be gone anytime soon

[Sugarcoated]

13. I just trashed those two threads

[Thomas Hurt]

15. It is dangerous to completely ignore the leader of a political cult...

Particularly one with so many zombies in his control and one who still wants to be the Putin of America.

[Indykatie]

17. We Can Do With Less Reposting of His Batsh*t Crazy Stuff at DU But Shouldn't Ignore Him Altogether.

[muriel_volestrangler]

18. Who was "we"?

If you had a specific agreement with those 2 thread starters, maybe you should remind them in a PM.

[Treefrog]

19. You are simply not paying attention lol.

Some days I’ve seen as many as a dozen threads about him.

Obviously, many just can’t quit him.

[Sneederbunk]

20. Right now Dotard photos with stories appear 14 times on Raw Story website.

Just can't quit him.

[MineralMan]

21. What people make up your "we?"

I never agreed to such a thing, and you have mentioned him in this very post, besides.

He will play some sort of role in politics for some time to come. I'm not going to ignore that, and will post if I think what is going on is worthy of discussion.

There was no decision made by the administrators of Democratic Underground regarding mentioning the former guy, by name or other wise. The rest of us are all just forum members, and do not set policy.

[Baked Potato]

22. He's a big turd, it takes many flushes. Maybe have to call Roto Rooter.

[BlueWavePsych]

23. THIS

[totodeinhere]

24. As long as there is a possibility that he might run again in 2024 we cannot completely

ignore him, as much as we would want to.

[Crunchy Frog]

25. I guess this makes three? Honestly, if it bothers you that much,

there are ways to filter out threads on the basis of keywords in the title, though you might need a star in order to utilize it. Otherwise you can simply hide the thread.

26. Could be wrong, but I thought we were not going to mention the orange turd anymore

On New Year’s Day I thought we could have a more peaceful time after Joe’s Inauguration and try not to discuss Trump as much. I was so excited.

Then January 6th happened.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

27. Nope, I never said I would never mention the former guy.

He and his spawn and associates continue to do shenanigans.

[tiredtoo]

29. Thank you all for sharing your thoughts/opinions on this.

I misspoke. Never meant to imply we had an agreement. Just thought it was an unwritten idea shared by many to keep him out of the news/headlines. Many years ago a politician told me "if my name is in the press whether good news or bad news, it is good for me."

30. I know, this was the third
