and maybe some shoes.. or sweatpants or something. Oh and since it's obviously escaped everyone's notice, we are ASKING should there be a change. Not saying we think there should be one. THAT WAS ON PURPOSE. ARE YOU GOING TO OUTLAW TYPO'S TOO? SEE, COMRADES? THIS IS THE WAY OF THE OPPRESSOR. FIRST, THEY TAKE YOUR President Trump AWAY, NEXT, YOUR INTENTIONAL TYPOS!!! WHAT WILL COME NEXT? WILL THEY TAKE OUR CONJUNCTIONS? 1. I'm screwed! 2. The mods would be so busy when I post they won't notice your infractions.

It's because the word "Trump" has positive connotations (trump card, came up trumps) while President Trump sounds rather silly.
As for being his immigrant grandfather's name: I don't remember whether the grandfather deliberately changed his name to sound more American, or it got changed by immigration personnel, as did so many others. My great-grandparents came through Ellis Island, and all three of their young children wound up with different spellings of their last name.
Well, if that's all this is about, I think it's pretty petty. I mean, really, Trump/President Trump, who really cares. I have to agree with DJ on this one that the political landscape is full of all sorts of derogatory mudslinging. It's not a big deal. UNITE AND BECOME UNITED WITH CITIZENSUNITE AND President Trump!!!! UNTIE YOURSELVES. YOU HAVE ONLY YOUR BEARINGS TO LOSE!!!

We'll take your conjunctions, your ending sentences with prepositions, and your unlawful and unjustifiable use of apostrophes.

Is it too late to get chocolate because I changed my vote before you began offering bribes?
And if you want more votes, you need to attract more voters to this thread.

How about if we only be allowed to use derogatory versions of their names for people who are actually IN office at the time? You know, compromise?

Ok, when do I need to start checking the mailroom. I do NOT kid around about either (dark) chocolate or red wine French & Dutch cheese are good too. Or are we back to Freedom cheese with dt in the WH? NOTHING imported! Except you know hats, suits, ties, jewelry, but you can only have those imported things if you supported 'that man'. Double standards are the new IN thing! IF I WIN THIS ELECTION, I WILL MAKE SOME HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE USING 100% COCOA BUTTER THAT I HAVE IN MY FRIDGE, AND SOME TRAIL MIX!!!! I HAVE NEVER MADE CHOCOLATE BEFORE, AND IT MIGHT BE AWFUL, BUT I AM BROKE LIKE GEORGE SOROS AFTER THIS ELECTION!!! I HAVE BEEN BEATEN DOWN BY President Trump!!! HELP ME BEAT BACK!!!! (seriously, tho. i am doing way better than that. just email me your address, and i will send you some dark chocolate Truffles. , dj)

I'm curious as to why all of a sudden this is an issue. We had a year of "Crooked Hillary" but now all of a sudden, it's not okay? Sounds like one side can't take what they spent a lot of time dishing out. we had Barry Soetero for EIGHT FUCKING YEARS, steff . this "decision"- this "vote"- at THIS TIME, is utterly outrageous, inappropriate, unwarranted, unfair and..... WRONG.We had "Shrub", "McSame", etc. for years too. Don't spin this into a partisan issue.

I voted but I may change my mind after the answers to a couple of questions:
1. What is the punishment for breaking the rules as I've been known to slip on occasion. I try really hard. I slip sometimes. Is it just a deletion and a warning or is it progressive working towards a ban?
2. Will this rule accept "orange sack of (insert whatever)" as opposed to Mr. Orange Sack Of (Insert Whatever) Trump"? Or "that nasty woman" as opposed to Hillary Nasty Woman Clinton? In other words, are people going to be able to work around it by saying stuff like "I didn't say his/her name."? Will we be limited to just saying President Trump, Former President Obama, Mrs. Clinton, etc.? Is "The Donald" included in this ban? I don't find that particular one to be offensive - just kinda dumb.
I'm stressing more on how to vote in this poll than I did on who to vote for in the election.
" Is "The Donald" included in this ban? I don't find that particular one to be offensive - just kinda dumb." Naaaaaaaa...fits the Donald to a Tee....
