If the Earth disintegrates the day after Trump is put in jail... lame54 Jul 2021 #48

The solution to that is: elect more Democrats apnu Jul 2021 #2

Dump? NurseJackie Jul 2021 #8

Well, pardon me for trying to help. Jesus. CurtEastPoint Jul 2021 #9

I just don't understand the purpose of it. It does nothing to promote intelligent/adult conversation NurseJackie Jul 2021 #10

Bye, Felicia. CurtEastPoint Jul 2021 #11

LOL! NurseJackie Jul 2021 #13

we dont dignify TFG by using it's name Blues Heron Jul 2021 #12

Ridiculous. NurseJackie Jul 2021 #14

It's not about him/it seeing it- it's a way of blowing off steam Blues Heron Jul 2021 #15

It's a juvenile fad... I'll be glad when it runs its course and fades away. NurseJackie Jul 2021 #16

I completely agree. Those on the right have their own pet ways of referring to Democrats, Dial H For Hero Jul 2021 #17

I can't take any of them seriously. NurseJackie Jul 2021 #18

I feel the same about those who revel in foul language. Dial H For Hero Jul 2021 #26

Ppl on other platforms use nicknames to keep their posts from being taken down PortTack Jul 2021 #34

Oh no! Someone's post was taken down. It's the end of the freaking world! NurseJackie Jul 2021 #39

I don't want to see his name or photo. Call me childish if you want. Seems I'm not alone PortTack Jul 2021 #30

Yes, let's just pretend he doesn't exist (and never existed)... NurseJackie Jul 2021 #36

Acronyms drive me nuts. I googled TFG and came up with a boatload of options. None fit the bill. Firestorm49 Jul 2021 #29

It's just that it gets tiresome having to spell out "the former guy" all the time Blues Heron Jul 2021 #42

People who want to engage in an adult conversation just use his name, Trump... NurseJackie Jul 2021 #61

It's Biden's nickname for Drumpf - therefore it has presidential authority Blues Heron Jul 2021 #62

It was a throwaway line... let's leave it in the wastebasket where it belongs. NurseJackie Jul 2021 #63

Part of his power came from the fact that he was so successful at dominating the media for Scrivener7 Jul 2021 #22

You're overthinking it. NurseJackie Jul 2021 #25

No, actually, I'm not. Your arguments about my post are ridiculous, but I don't care to Scrivener7 Jul 2021 #27

I'm not surprised. NurseJackie Jul 2021 #37

"I don't like it! Therefore you must stop!!!" Scrivener7 Jul 2021 #45

Nobody said that. NurseJackie Jul 2021 #49

It sounds ridiculous to you. Obviously not to the multiple people Scrivener7 Jul 2021 #65

Well, that's not an excuse, is it? NurseJackie Jul 2021 #66

You're overthinking it. Your reaction boils down to: "I don't like it! I don't like it! Scrivener7 Jul 2021 #67

Nope. Some things can be stupid completely independent of how I feel... NurseJackie Jul 2021 #68

You're overthinking it. "My response to it is RIGHT! All yours is stupid! Stop it!" Scrivener7 Jul 2021 #69

Oh, good lord. NurseJackie Jul 2021 #70

Algorithms matter..a lot! The less his name is used the less exposure he has in all kind of ways PortTack Jul 2021 #32

Yet he still exists and his name appears in newspapers and websites all over the world... NurseJackie Jul 2021 #38

I'm going to go with Biden on this one Blues Heron Jul 2021 #41

It's a fad. People have glommed onto a throwaway line. It's now overused, meaningless and annoying. NurseJackie Jul 2021 #46

People come here to vent, have a good time Blues Heron Jul 2021 #50

You know perfectly well I have said no such thing. NurseJackie Jul 2021 #51

well you never know who's reading - maybe it will piss off a member of the "other board" Blues Heron Jul 2021 #52

I hardly think that the purpose of DU is to "piss off" members of other boards. NurseJackie Jul 2021 #55

I see it as a feeding two birds with one hand thing Blues Heron Jul 2021 #56

It doesn't even rise to the level of "mean"... it's just childish. NurseJackie Jul 2021 #57

On the other hand- if the shoe fits Blues Heron Jul 2021 #58

You're overthinking it. NurseJackie Jul 2021 #59

Thank you StarfishSaver Jul 2021 #43

Excellent analogy. In this race to the bottom, I hope our side doesn't win. NurseJackie Jul 2021 #47

Thank you. I was trying t figure it out. Sounded like talking Trump but didn't fit. I was gonna ask. LizBeth Jul 2021 #44

Lots of people have trouble focusing on multiple things at once. Nothing wrong with that. nt LexVegas Jul 2021 #19

I agree, but there is some linkage. Turd is driving a lot of the voter suppression and theft effort lagomorph777 Jul 2021 #20

Umm...we can't care about both? Tommy Carcetti Jul 2021 #23

Yes, most of us have a more than one track mind. we can do it Jul 2021 #33

The media's ratings are in the tank since he left office Sympthsical Jul 2021 #24

Exactly Right. msfiddlestix Jul 2021 #28

I will be happy to stroke out about all the 🐂💩after we get legislation on voters rights. Murphyb849 Jul 2021 #72

I care about both. we can do it Jul 2021 #31
