We should not Take for Granted that That Fucking Guy is Too Far Gone.

It's like the zombie apocalypse, always starting over and continuing.

Mr. Biden referred to it as "the former guy".
It rang bells here & other liberal sites. It was quickly shortened to an acronym.
But, those using it may have varying mileage.
