I have a request for folks, whenever referring to the piece of shit please don't

Use his given name, please refer to him as “the piece of shit.“

Of course, when you are posting articles about the piece of shit, you have to use his name because you don’t want to alter the article, and of course many of you will not want to do this, but if I can just get a few of you to start doing it and I mean EVERYWHERE.

For instance, I do it everywhere including Facebook, Bluesky, and any conversation I have with anybody ever, etc.

which stands for "this stupid fuck"

I'm not sure what TSF means to other people though.

But I believe it’s important that he be shown the least amount of respect one human being can show to another one without dehumanizing them, which this might actually do but we are desperate.

Anyone who thinks doing this is bad, I don’t wanna talk to them. I don’t want them anywhere around me get away from me.😡

actually believe that doing so will accomplish anything more than to invoke a positive response from people who already agree with you?
This doesn't really produce any gains. In fact, it does the opposite.

I’m not sure what you mean and I’d love to understand it.

I just mean on any webpage on a computer laptop whatever that isn’t an app.

Thanks

I assume you’re talking about this site only that it’s built into the code of this site to bring up the emojis or smiles?

And I will repeat again in case anyone is confused, if you think calling him a piece of shit is bad or wrong. You are in the wrong fucking place.

I am obviously not talking to the person I am responding to here.

I have this thing where I refuse to respond to anyone who I can tell is absolutely not here for the right reasons.

and assholes are necessary body parts. There has to be some word for something that's nasty, malodorous, and completely offensive while being absolutely useless and having no reason whatsoever to exist. That's a hard word to think of because all creatures and their secretions, no matter how weird, icky, smelly or dangerous, have a place in some ecosystem. Cockroaches, slime molds, toadstools, naked mole rats, tarantulas, snot, shit, whatever, all have a reason to exist. Even vomit. It's stuff your body doesn't want and a dog will probably come along and eat it anyhow. But there's no purpose for Trump except to bring misery. I don't know if his body would even grow maggots.

Not much into name calling, in the first place, and all this does is exclude people who aren't in on the joke.

Note how many times someone asks who's TSF, or Krasnov, or whatever the current cutesy name is.

it would require me to have to consciously think about him everytime before posting, takes too much effort.

Not using his name will mean your thread won't show up in search results, though I suppose people could spend a lot of time guessing what he might've been called in some post or thread title, putting all the possible alternatives in as keywords and hoping they guess the right one.

At the moment GD is so active that the threads at the bottom of page 30 were started July 5.

So if you remember there was some particularly interesting thread about Trump from even two weeks ago, it's no longer on the board and you're shit out of luck searching for it if the DUer who posted it called Trump a piece of shit or anything else as an alternative to his name.
