1. I think we should start putting anti-psychotic meds in the water supply.

2. Kick!

3. The night DU was hacked . . .

. . . what was there was "god emperor trump". This is not new.

For those who don't know, this is a reference to Dune.

4. I do know, was here,

Election Night 2016.

But, "Dune"?

[Richard D]

8. It's a long story . .

. . . might have been in Dune Messiah where the God Emperor was a big subject of the book. There was also one in the series that was titled God Emperor of Dune.

6. I remember that night.

What a frightening image. I still remember it.

[Richard D]

9. The moment I saw that . . .

. . . I knew that the election was thrown and would dishonestly go to trump.

11. Totally, Richard - same here!

We were hosting an election night party and as guests arrived and the TV was on, while they were unaware I already had a sense of doom.

I have PTSD from it!

14. Me too.

5. I can find no independent reporting that actually shows Trump supporters calling him "God emperor"

Mind you, I wouldn't put it past them, but I can find no reporting showing where it actually has taken place. Accuracy, and the avoidance of overblown reporting, remains important no matter what the excesses of the Trumpers.

10. Since it was a feature of the DU takedown, it's worth noting--tho I've never heard of anyone...

...outside of DU mentioning it. If Malcom Nance is aware of the reference, it makes me wonder...

12. on reddit's "the donald " sub board "god emperor" was the preferred term for

he who must never be named. i think 4 chan and 8 chan as well.

[Hekate]

13. Hence my surprise that someone in this thread wanted sources. The perps attacked us, and tried...

...to destroy us. I logged in and DU was just gone.

[ExciteBike66]

7. If I recall correctly, the original "God Emperor" of Dune...

ended up being hated by his subjects, and even his own daughter plotted his death.

[peppertree]

15. This is like something out of a Frank Herbert book

Except the rebels are supporting Baron Harkonnen.

[Pharlo]

16. "God Emperor"? That's it?

No one tell him about Idi Amin, or The Orange One will never be happy with a simple 'God Emperor'.

17. K&R for Malcolm Nance!

We always need to hear what he has to say. Thanks for posting!
