What if DU blocked any mention of Donald Trump for 24 hours?

Just to show the cable news and mainstream media that it could be done?

Would it be possible?

No doubt, it would be healthy for the psyche.

The guy simply monopolizes all of media with his insanity. He's crazier than a shithouse rat.

The idea that the media would take notice that DU didn't mention Trump for a day and have that influence their editorial decisions is far-fetched in the extreme.

And do you think DUers would simply ignore other media sources, including other social media sources for the entire day to avoid being contaminated with a mention of Trump?

Silly idea.

If people don't want to read about Trump on DU, they should take the day off from DU.

maybe a trumpless tuesdat beginning at midnight?

I am tired and depressed every time I hear his name, which I am sure is the desired effect.
