I was thinking today, after all of the vile news, (voting rights gutted, dewine signing an anti-LGTBQ budget, cosby getting out of jail, just examples), that hearing about indictments just isn't enough to lift my spirits.

I want a win for progress. I want the federal government to protect voting rights for all people. I want all of the Ohio r's to stop their revolting and repressive regime in my state. I want rapists to be punished for their crimes.

If, for every indictment that was brought against traitor, an r senator or r judge got booted out of office or off the bench, or one of their crappy laws was repealed and forbidden to come up ever again, I'd feel like Karma was really Karma.

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

It is a known fact ... NanceGreggs Jul 2021 #3

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

Yeah well that ship sailed in 2016...when 'but her email' voters didn't vote for the Democratic Demsrule86 Jul 2021 #35
