Is it too much to ask that no one posts 45+'s damn face here??? I just CAN NOT LOOK AT HIM......

and I kinda hoped here on DU we could at least NOT SEE HIS ORANGE FACE. Am I way off to request this??? I don’t watch ANY news so I won’t see the orange piece of shit…..and was hoping when I come here I WON’T see it either. Thank you.

Here's a fact. He's going to be in charge of our country and it's people. We have a front row seat to watch him do as much damage he can do. Buckle up. It's going to get worse. Way worse.

Sun Dec 8, 2024, 07:54 PM

and I agree with him.

One of the reasons I'm beginning to prefer DU to Daily Kos is that I see the hog anus face much less often here. Folks at Kos have been clamoring for them to stop featuring photos of Fuckface, but Kos just ignores them. Callous indifference to the feelings of others isn't a monopoly of the right, it seems.

What news value does it provide to show his nasty mug over and over again?
We already know what the lying dirtbag looks like.

don't want to see something. There are tools here so one can tailor their DU experience to suit themselves There are no tools to control what other people post. We are not supposed to baby sit posters here because the stupid face of a US president offends them. You control what you see, it's not our job to protect you from politics. Get used to seeing that ugly, nasty, hateful face. His party hasn't even fucking started yet.

But just hearing his voice or his name causes me physical distress. I will NOT subject myself to this fucking BS for 4 more years. If I hear his voice or see his name I immediately change the channel or I discontinue reading. I have a choice and I'm not a masochist.

My physical health can't handle the stress he creates for me. He is literally killing me by causing me ongoing emotional and mental distress on top of taking away my ACA subsidies so that I will not be able to afford health insur.

If I went to Notre Dame I would've taken my two "poison pill" rings. Easy...I would just sit next to him and when he is distracted by talking about himself I would pour the contents of my rings into his Diet Coke. Ooops. That's slipping a very deadly mickey. I watch too many movies.

from Santa last year I exclaimed out loud to my family. "WOO HOO, now I just need to get next to tRump to complete the picture". They knew I was serious. That is one reason I love Murphy Brown reruns, her character has money and connections and always finds a way to get revenge on those who deserve it. She is my hero.

We have rules about posting extremist content and not posting NSFW content without warning, but without a direct statement from a forum moderator it probably wouldn't stick on appeal - although a DU jury might well agree that posting that face rises to the level of a violation

I saw someone mention the Trash feature the other day and have thought about trashing anything with traitor's name in the title of the discussion. I'm afraid that might be too extreme. I think that on DU, like anywhere, it is hard to post news that isn't about that pos. For now, I scan the forums and click carefully.

If you want to look at the Trash feature, go to MY DU and click on TRASH CAN There are instructions about the feature.

I sympathize. I hate that no matter what I do on the Internet, it seems like traitor is insinuated into what I'm viewing, even if there is absolutely nothing political about what I'm doing.

I have extensions on my browsers to “TrumpTrump” and “Firewall Trump” so that some articles and web searches come up with absolutely nothing.

It is pretty good. Only the DU home page ignores my trash and ignore lists (and yours, too)

My main problem is that I do indulge in computer artwork, and it does come up. (Prior to trashing it).

An artist suffers for their craft. What can I say?

Oh, and one or more of them substitute the poopy emoticon for that name. It’s kind of cool.
