“this one dumb man who, quite frankly, isn't particularly interesting.”

You dont consider the complete dismantling of entire US agencies worthy of discussion? This is happening now, take a break if you arent up for it.

I call him "the orange slime". My friend calls him Dump or Dumptruck.

I choose not to avoid using his name, so I'm sorry, but I will continue to do so when it makes sense.

Can you go a single day without using his name? You can start tomorrow.

I'd hazard avoiding his name for 24 hours has the same net result as the here and the now. I think if I wanted to avoid getting distressed by his name, I'd avoid political message boards.
