This isn't LBN so the more, the merrier.

When Trump resigns/is removed from office/indicted/keels over from a KFC induced coronary, I want to see it from top to bottom on GD.

Seems like it would easy enough if all the similar posts were moved under the first OP on that topic.

If it's something important, I can usually count on reading it on DU at least three times.
