A humble request to DU...

I know before I say this that this is impossible, but I will toss it out to the universe anyway:

Can we remove all the images of the Convicted Felon from this site? For stories/videos where he appears, put a big black box over his face, or maybe a picture of a puppy? Also, when we have sound out of that awful mouth, we have someone dub over the sound (maybe a great voice-over actor like me! )?

A boy can dream.

4. No we can't. Unfortunately he was elected president. He's in fucking control for the next 4 years.

Everything he does and says is going to be news. Democrats don't hide their heads in the sand.

...just want something more pleasant to watch and listen to is all.

An annoying thing that the MSM and posters do is put his picture on stories that do not feature him - think it drives clicks, apparently.

my wife and I are doing what we can to continue to remove him from our eyes and mind - have been doing it for a long time and will continue to do so

exposing him to yourself is a choice. make the wise choice.

7. I trash the name, and have a browser extension that substitutes 💩 for it.

But I had to temporarily disable it to search for graphics to deface.

Like Lady Liberty sticking her torch where the sun don’t shine.

It ain’t easy. An artist suffers for their work.

I do agree 99% of the time I’m not defacing things.

12. That's a start, but unfortunately not everyone spells out his name.

Hey, maybe that's a good request: always spell his name as "trump." No variations or nicknames allowed. That way, the people who are trying to filter him out will be successful.

Speaking of impossible requests....
