Folks, can we stop the shit shaming here? [View all]

I am guilty of it too, bigly. I call the shit show we are living in exactly that. I call unfounded allegations "bullshit" or sometimes "horseshit" as a change of pace, when I am merely talking about alternative facts without any supporting evidence. Why draw attention to something we all do, as quietly and unobtrusively as we possibly can, just to make some point about truthiness or the lack thereof? That stinks, another thing we try to avoid with sprays and such. Just because a piece of shit was elected President and he is an ignorant orange anus is no justification for shit shaming. Shit is just turds that cannot be polished until they fossilize eons from now on the dead planet the Republican shits will leave behind after they have raped it for every dime they can squeeze out of it.

Shit shaming may have psycho-physical consequences like constipation or Montezuma's revenge. Isn't it bad enough that Drumpf makes us want to puke all the time? Can't we just throw "fits" instead of "shit fits?" Couldn't we just say "f**k this" without adding the "s" word at the end?

So, what say you DU? Are you with me on this? Because I'm not. By the way, is it shit storm or shit-storm?
