Apparently it's a trendy thing to do rather than simply typing "Trump" (or DT or DJT for those who can't bring themselves to use his actual name). It rather performative and except for the "in crowd" and the "cool kids" it's a bit exclusionary and not very conducive to conversation and an exchange of information. At times, you really do need a decoder ring and decoder book to know who the players are.

Meanwhile, people keep making up new ones. It would be easier if people just spelled out what they mean, so as not to appear to be exclusionary.

Plus the writer might save a fraction of a second, but the reader may have to go hunting for the meaning. If it's worth saying, surely it is worth spelling it out.

22. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence....

... and you’ve provided none. I'm not going to spend time debunking a conspiracy theory that hasn't even met the basic threshold of proof.

You made the claim that the state is censoring this forum... the responsibility is on you to provide evidence for it. I don’t have to prove a negative to remain skeptical of an unverified theory.

I don't have time for this. Bye.

Nothing can deter me from that task. It is my life's work. And in all candor I can't bring myself to say his name or refer to him as president, and using his initials is a dignity i only bestow on presidents I resprect like FDR and JFK.

Glad to see that we have broken through that plateau on the way to lower and lower ratings.

The floor is the limit. Let's go there.

And meanwhile that is still a hell of a lot of people - 35 out of every 100!

Of course, give him a chance. He'll do something to piss off even more people. It feels like it is his goal.

With below 36% then I'll celebrate. With any luck 🤞 this is the start of a pattern.
