Where he referred to Trump as a "sick fuck"

So it stands for "The Sick Fuck"

Enjoy.

who you are talking about by using their name as well, so people you are trying to communicate with don't have to play guessing games.

I hate him so much that I can't even mention him by name anymore. Even hating is childish and logic should be used instead but this maniac has no place in the political world. The only reason he became a thing was a complete series of things that were wrong and went seriously wrong. Now sane people have to deal with this madness.
There is no other word that "thing" can properly be called. I understand where you are coming from because I am the same way but I can't stand that miserable creature.
on edit: on the positive side, at least on this forum we are the left wing together and should be able to vent frustrations in the form of an acronym that tells it like it is but for courtesy keep it in the acronym and not spell it out. I think there is a dictionary somewhere on this site with acronyms.

I figured capitalizing trump was according him some measure of respect and he is due none. I think sometimes spell check will do so but if I notice I remove the capital “t”.

If you want to call yourself childish, that's up to you. But my comments were behavior-focused, not person-focused.

a good thing in threads where only the title lines can be viewed, necessitating clicking on each one to view the rest.

Though personally I prefer to view the panel where the titles and texts are displayed at once (for threads where the whole reply can still be viewed that way).

Some threads don't allow that viewing option. Perhaps where there are too many replies or maybe after the thread reaches a certain age, I'm guessing?

- He has no BELIEFS!!

- He has no MORALS!

- He has no ETHICS!

- He has no VALUES!


He is an ignorant, petulant, undisciplined, mentally damaged child with a God complex.

He is motivated by ONLY two things.

1. Enriching himself and stoking his overblown and undeserved ego, and

2. Harming and destroying ANYONE that interferes with Number 1.

He desires the presidency, because it's the ONLY thing in his miserable, vapid existence that requires people to pay attention to him.

I know that's not the question you asked, but typing my response is cathartic for me.
