The more videos, blogs, social media threads that get out there, the better IMO. It is hardly isolated that there is a common feeling about this, and the majority of us are just beyond being scolded for rightfully detesting a certain someone. Expressing that may have once been taboo, but so too is the total loss of civility, racism, and violent threats coming from that corner of the universe and his supporters.

4. There's a difference between wanting someone gone and claiming that he is either dead or is on his death bed.

own--albeit some Trumpists try to claim otherwise--even that we are somehow 'plotting...' (which of course is beyond the pale, both in theory and in truth)... The FB guy was talking about his playlist planned for a celebration when I got bored and tuned out. Did he say something else?

I know we had many threads "wondering" if he was missing for some nefarious reason over the weekend, but did we have any that absolutely claimed that he was deceased? I worked much of the weekend so I missed it if so...

I don't think we are doing anything wrong. It is cathartic dark humor (only).

I often get lambasted and vilified for posting a link to FB or Instagram. I figured I’d pre-empt that.
