Although I'm too lazy to count, my guess is that there are more posts about tfg than Joe on DU.

[Magoo48]

WTF, over.

[Walleye]

1. Keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer?

[Magoo48]

2. Perhaps?

[secondwind]

3. Tired of reading about tfg. Enough already.

[Magoo48]

4. Exactly, and post without his picture if post you must.

[Blues Heron]

5. so you start another? lol!

[Magoo48]

7. Point taken. At least there's no picture.

[kentuck]

6. Well, Joe is not about to be criminally referred to the Justice Dept....

Hard to keep that off the front pages.

[Magoo48]

8. This is a long, long slow "about to be" with coverage bordering on the fetish-obsessive.at times.

[samnsara]

9. cuz Joes not an attention addict and does his best work quietly and privately

[Magoo48]

10. Is the best way to treat an "attention addict" to keep pouring on attention?

[muriel_volestrangler]

11. We don't treat TFG; I'm sure he doesn't read DU

Problems and disasters are news, quiet competency isn't. That's why TFG (and now Musk) come up so much, both on DU and in the media.

[Magoo48]

13. Let's say your thesis is accurate. Shouldn't DU and the media be bulging with

Climate Catastrophe stories?

[muriel_volestrangler]

24. When specific effects happen, eg hurricanes, they are

Steady "things are getting worse" stories don't get the attention. But tfg says and does stupid, illegal and/or evil things, a lot.

[kentuck]

14. Also, ignoring a problem does not make it go away...

...It only continues without your knowledge.

[Magoo48]

25. Agreed, a problem must be acknowledged, faced. and met with appropriate action.

Yet, lack of power is our dilemma where tfg is concerned. Action is called for, but we must rely on politicians who’ve set themselves beyond our reach and control. Therefore we resort to shaking our frustrated word-fists while posting pictures of our despised enemies and descriptions of their latest vile utterances. Mine is an annoyance of frequency and photographs.

[treestar]

52. +1

[doc03]

12. That also goes for the Muskrat nt

[Magoo48]

15. Indeed it does.

[Irish_Dem]

16. We deserve to watch Trump's spectacular demise in exquisite detail.

After all he has done to this country, it is only right we witness his destruction.
And watch the MAGAs turn on him.

Also it is foolish to ignore what our enemies are doing.
The people who wish us dead.
We ignore them at our own peril.

[Magoo48]

17. "We", are you speaking for all of DU?

[Irish_Dem]

18. My observations are based upon facts which speak for themselves.

Looking at the frequency of posts by topic.

[dalton99a]

19. For the same reason that Charles Manson got more attention than Mother Teresa

Besides, it is not mandatory to read any particular thread or post on this forum

[Magoo48]

27. Very true. It is, though, almost impossible to not see his face at any given time now on DU.

[Genki Hikari]

39. Mother Teresa got plenty of attention

And far more of it than that evil wretch ever deserved. She was NOT a good or kind person.

She never met a rich person or dictator she wouldn't both adore and suck up to.

Her "charity" was no such thing. She MADE poor people suffer rather than give them pain relief they needed, because she was such an evil psychopath that she got off on their pain. She thought their suffering was "holy," so she made them do plenty of it to feed her religious lunacy.

Anyone who calls that a good thing is as evil as she is.

[Johnny2X2X]

20. Joe Biden is the best president of my lifetime

His achievements are astounding. I agree, we need to talk about President Biden more.

[Deuce]

21. For some time i have felt that way...

[Mr. Ected]

22. Joe is doing what we want Joe to do, and he's properly applauded for it every day

Trump is undermining democracy and all of his utterances need to be examined, dispelled and rejected.

The DU message board is a perfect venue to handle that task.

[Magoo48]

28. With plenty of photos, of course.

[Mr. Ected]

30. You can't close your eyes and wish him away

You're not the only one who wishes we could.

[Magoo48]

31. I don't want to wish him away. We all know who and what he is. Much posted now is redundant.

[JuJuChen]

23. Joe's not a train wreck, and we stop and stare for train wrecks

[Magoo48]

26. We don't simply stop and stare.

We write down the gory details, take graphic photos, and share them with our pals.

[ProfessorGAC]

32. Speaking Of That...

...I was coming home from a school where I subbed to our southwest.
Coming home through a town to our WSW, the trains were stopped, all the intersections & crossings were blocked, and so on.
A 60 something guy jumped in front of the train. As I got through the main intersection & continued on, I saw people standing on top of their vehicles with their phones taking pictures of the bloody front of the train.
Accurately describes what you're talking about.

[Magoo48]

40. Constant string of dopamine bursts.

Perhaps we’re all strung out.

[Prairie_Seagull]

29. Staying with this metafore, tfg has already wrecked a few of times.

Now we are waiting for the injury reports and trying to understand.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

33. Ha... In quarantine so was actually counting... And saw this.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

34. Went back for about the last 48 hrs in GD... Trump threads 70

Unscientific, just looked at thread titles in GD for the last 48 hrs


Trump threads 70
Musks threads 57
President Biden threads 7 *


* Includes one about the cat in WH

And you wonder why people blame the media ?

[WarGamer]

36. yup

[WarGamer]

35. I JUST DID A "HIDE BY KEYWORD" including TFG, Trump, Musk, Twitter and Nazi

The most recent thread was about the passing of the Queen.








Just kidding... but not far off!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

37. Lol. Trump sure does stick with his mantra all news is good even if it

Is something bad.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

38. Supposedly he posts something similar to this like clockwork twice

A day. He's literally brainwashing people!!! And we on the other side, remain in an awed, obsessed state, that he seems to be getting away with it.

[Magoo48]

41. Yes, how can we be awed at this point?

And, here it is blazing at us on DU. At this point it is redundant a hundred times over. Old news over and over.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

48. Great point! And you were able to put it into words! Noticed

It moons ago and couldn't.. " Redundant a hundred times over"

And it's like some kind of torture device - the harder we try to stop it the worse things get! And for the other side, our complaints just pile up in the " they hate him" pile. Our complaints actually give HIM fuel .

It's years too late to stop the now out of control speeding train. Shout out to the 6 brave Democratic House Members who brought impeachment charges to the floor on November 15 2017!

Even if he loses at the ballot box, he's not going away. All we can rely on now is the courts to throw him in prison.

[Magoo48]

51. Yes, yes,yes.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

53. Actually, after I hit sent, I wondered "do they have internet in prison?" :)

[48656c6c6f20]

42. Joe hasn't plotted to overthrow the country

So, there's that.

WTF over?

[Magoo48]

43. Yes, and?

[48656c6c6f20]

45. Why would people talk more about a man that

Is doing his job and doing it well, than one still engaged in insurrection? Yes, and?

[Magoo48]

46. Joe is simply an example of the new and the possible.

We already know all there is to know about tfg. Everything now is unpleasant redundancy.

[hunter]

44. I've had "Trump" on my trash by keyword list for years. Now I'll add "tfg."

Thanks for the reminder!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

49. Wow. Does it keep a tally?

[David__77]

47. People often write about what they are passionate about.

…

[ChazII]

50. I agree 100%. n/t
