I click on DU for news, opinion and comment. NOT more tRump threads. All so offensive.

1. Hear, hear...

Same here.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

3. Even the news thread headline today...Trump backed Mastriano loses...omit tTrump, just as happy!

The very name now offends me, it’s gotten that bad!

[FarPoint]

21. DITTO!!!!

I quickly glace at listed threads...when the population is tRump....I leave...

[Alexander Of Assyria]

77. Yes, last few days been a nightmare...news threads are mere punctuations among the boring gorging...

maybe he was right, media should pay him for all the eyeballs?! 👁

Only threads of interest to me…the ones stitching together his jail clothing.

[GreenWave]

2. But if IQ45 is destroying the pachyderms merely by blaring his mouth...

...I, for one, find that most entertaining.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

4. I get it, even my wife finds the destruction of democracy kinda entertaining, it kinda is!?

[GreenWave]

34. Not at all, the pachyderms are engaged in internecine warfare!

And the destruction of pachyderms should intrigue us both! (Ancient tactical blunder in India?)

Sincerely,

Greenwave,

Son of Alice of Macedonia,

5. It's a discussion board, get it?

[Alexander Of Assyria]

6. I don't have my own social platform, or any other I enjoy as much, so really no choice!

[MarineCombatEngineer]

22. Well, the choices to you are easy,

you can either:

A. Alert on a thread you think is inappropriate or violates the TOS,

B. Not read it, or,

C. Use the Trash option.

Other than that.............

[Autumn]

65. You do have a choice. Use hide by keyword and type in Trump. Much easier than trying to control

what other people will read. This social platform is for all Democratic members, not just you.

Got any books you want banned?

[Tomconroy]

18. It's a democratic party discussion board. Get it?

[Firestorm49]

58. Bingo!

[Firestorm49]

59. Bingo!

[Better Days Ahoy]

7. It's cheap clickbait

Agree that members can do better than, say, posting a TMZ photo of a miserable TFG at Tiff's wedding rehearsal. Really?

I don't want to see every moment of TFG's worthless life. I don't watch OAN and Fox for the same reason.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

19. I read that thread! Commenting 100x on a photo interpreting emotion.

tRump thanks all for the extra attention!

Are y’all not entertained!!

Democracy or entertainment, roughy call.

[mercuryblues]

24. Go to (I think it is) your account

Find the trash word option. Type trump in the text box. Instant reduction of trump threads

[Alexander Of Assyria]

26. I'll think on it! Probably not tho cause how else will I know if I've convinced anyone?!

Unlikely as it is. 😂

[Blues Heron]

56. cool story bro!

[Blues Heron]

8. so you started one of your own? LOL

Maybe edit/delete this post?

[Alexander Of Assyria]

9. See comment 6

[CurtEastPoint]

11. GOOD ONE!

[Treefrog]

40. It needed to be said.

Quite revealing to see how posters are getting all butthurt because some of us are not interested in reading about that fool 24/7.

[Lars39]

10. Use the tools provided

Ignore, Trash Thread, and Trash Word

[Alexander Of Assyria]

12. Of course. Didn't work!

[yardwork]

20. Just Trash some key words: Trump and TFG.

That will eliminate most of them, and then you can trash additional threads each day.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

33. Never trash a thread, poster has taken time and energy to do so. Better just not comment

and it self trashes.

[yardwork]

67. Um, you're the one who started a thread complaining!

I never trash threads. I don't have anybody on ignore or wherever it's called. I was trying to help you. Lol.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

68. You try trashing all the irrelevant tRump threads, sort from the real news one! It's a royal pain!

[Niagara]

13. Then purchase a star membership.

There's no required amount to do so.


Then can go to "My Account" and auto-trash whatever you don't want to view.

[MissMillie]

14. When is the last time any news feed or any news program didn't mention TFG?

Just saying.

Like it or not he's part of the news narrative.

And there are those of us who like to keep tabs on him. Some would argue that it would be dangerous to not pay attention to his antics. He's like a little toddler--leave him unattended and he's likely to burn the house down.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

17. Absolutely tRump must be not ignored! But every nonsense he spews gets it's own thread!

The man is a human embodiment of the Big Lie. Ofc the big lie feeds on repetition.

To my way of thinking, silly as it may be, don’t feed the animals.

In example, the Clorox remedy to Covid wasn’t a mistake or an idiot blabbering, the comment was purposely meant as being such a big lie it would be repeated for years with his name attached…and so it was. Mission accomplished.

[MissMillie]

25. I hardly think DU was responsible for the spread of the Chlorox story

That thing went viral in the media all on its own. That's what made it newsworthy--and thus fair game for discussion on DU.

Reading about it on DU did provide some of us DUers with some comic relief. No, it's not funny that some people actually took him seriously, but it is noteworthy that some people took him seriously. And it IS funny that he actually believed that he had a good idea.

It WOULD be nice if the filters worked for you. One of the reasons the filters don't work is because people don't put context into the titles of their posts. That's something I have posted about many times, to no avail.

As much as I like DUers, my nearly 20 years of membership has taught me that I can't get them all to behave (in their post titles) the way I wish they would.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

27. Thanks for reply! Honestly just venting, don't expect miracles until maybe 🤔 shortly before I die!

[Treefrog]

42. I see plenty of news without a trump mention.

But I never see a day here without at least a half dozen threads about him.

So many people just entranced by the wedding yesterday! I was gobsmacked.

It would be funny if not so pathetic.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

66. What wedding?should be the answer of all. Can dream?!

[48656c6c6f20]

15. We shouldn't talk about the face of the destroyers of America?

Until I see differently he is still a threat to the world. Why wouldn't he be discussed here? Sorry I'm not near a beach so I can't bury my head.

[Treefrog]

31. So posts about his spawn are somehow necessary?

Yesterday was like reading the tabloids. "Trump might have lied about his height!" "Gilfoyle cut out of pic!" "Trump uses thumbs up in wedding pic!" The horror of it all!

Breathless stories like this have zip-all to do with politics.

[48656c6c6f20]

32. I try not to be the judge of necessary

That job is better left to. Well maybe you I guess. I know it's a job I don't want.

[Treefrog]

36. Hey, you're the one who said we can't hide from the face of evil.

So it appears you think tabloid info is somehow important.

It's ok, it's clear he's enjoying a rent-free existence in many heads here.

[48656c6c6f20]

53. Best reporting in the world is tabloids.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

55. Ok, so I really want to buy with my last pennies... cause the Father could be a father, right?

[Blues Heron]

44. no one is forcing you to read anything

why not just scroll past the offending posts like everybody else does?

[Treefrog]

49. It's a discussion board.

The OP is expressing an opinion.

Many of us agree with it. M'kay?

[Blues Heron]

52. LOL!

too funny

[Treefrog]

62. Well, see there?

Lookie, we agree on something!

Too funny is exactly right!

[Demsrule86]

48. I found all of that pretty amusing personally. Don't read the posts.

[Treefrog]

64. Very amusing.

But not for the reason you think.

And, oh so revealing.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

54. In a nutshell your comment excellent and to the point! 🤚

[Tomconroy]

16. Agreed. He is so 2020 news. Nothing more until indicted.

[JuJuChen]

23. we all hate Trump and DU is our bitch wagon

[Alexander Of Assyria]

28. 😂😂😂 don't know it's appropriate but bitchwagon made me laugh!

[Treefrog]

29. So agree!

People cannot get enough of that creep.

[msfiddlestix]

30. This 10,000 %

[lapucelle]

35. This you?

[Alexander Of Assyria]

38. The mocking threads are the best!

[Treefrog]

47. You should check out the one about Gilfoyle.

Quickly became a mean girl thread about womens' looks and attire.

Took me right back to middle school. People are in need of a hobby.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

51. Evil, always been irrelevant, highly ignorable, even in mocking! 😂

[Blues Heron]

46. lol! good bust!

[Mr. Ected]

37. Some Trump threads are more pertinent than others

If the title has something to do with a rogue statement he made on social media, I'm not interested either.

But if the thread says that "Trump indicted by DOJ on several charges", I will read it and every single thread about it for the coming months and years. He's still alive, he's still free, and until one or the other changes, I'm keeping one eye open.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

39. Absolutely.

[Chakaconcarne]

41. I get to see threads about Trump here more than anyone else....

Would be nice if that were different, but I guess people need clicks.

[milestogo]

43. I come to DU for discussion, and I hate threads telling me what to discuss.

[Demsrule86]

45. I understand how you feel...I am sick of Trump and during the election I was so annoyed by

the doom and gloom posts...but a wise poster told me ...trash them. The posts would be here and wouldn't be getting lots of interest if others didn't want to read them. Like it or not, he is news.

[Doc Sportello]

50. I've got the answer!!

dump gorged on chicken and cake at what's-her-name's wedding and in a few days his flabby heart finally gives out. It'll take a couple of weeks but the dump threads will go away like the POS never existed.

[H2O Man]

57. Yet you start one.

[Kaleva]

60. The auto trash by keyword function works very well

[Torchlight]

61. Sounds serious.

Good luck.

[ForgedCrank]

63. For me,

the bigger problem is I can't use the auto-trash filter because instead of using his name, some use made-up kindergarden names for him. You can't really filter for all of them without a lot of work.

[Act_of_Reparation]

69. Fascinating.

[RealityChik]

70. Offensive but...

If we don’t hear what the opposition has to say, won’t that turn DU into an echo chamber just like FOX?. I say, bring it on and let me decide what to believe!!!

[xmas74]

71. Isn't it interesting how we all like different things? Nt

[demmiblue]

72. ...

Is it really that hard to use the tools the admins gave us so you wouldn't have to see those threads?

[Alexander Of Assyria]

74. ....trash a dozen irrelevant threads an hour, sort out the real news ones? Is there an EZ tool?

[treestar]

73. But we need a place to trash him!

And make fun of him, and his awful family.

[Texasgal]

75. I personally wish we'd

stop talking about him! He's a nothing berder!

[Caliman73]

76. Unfortunately, Trump is news, people have opinions, and will comment.

Trump, until he is gone, is the de facto head of one of the two major political parties in the United States. Granted, there is a great deal of salacious information, but that is what gets eyes. He is news. He has sway over a good amount of the Republican base. What he says and does has an effect on the country so he will continue to get coverage.

I only read very few threads and respond to even fewer. I may click on a thread, but usually know where it is going after the first sentence, or sometimes from the title. It is a good skill to develop.
