Can we have a 24 hour moritorium on you know who?

I know it's a lot to ask but can we just ignore what's his name for the next 24 hours? Just like not drinking for a couple of days after a particularly hard weekend. Clear out our heads. When next we talk about him may we be referring to him as "the defendant". Just a thought.

in the first 20 years of DU, until the birther stuff showed up, that was a name you just didn't see much of around here. I look forward to returning to those days.

That means his Senate trial, any potential criminal or civil actions, bankruptcy, etc.

Otherwise, I'm not wasting a second more on him.

You cannot comment or "update" ANYTHING about BunkerBoy.

IF YOU DO:

You will be subject to JURY ACTION!

All JURY members will have to select ONE option:

1. IDIOT (OP) has NO clue what is going on

2. IDIOT (OP again) kinda' has a clue, but has been busy with work/family/other 'life' issues

3. IDIOT (OP, yeah, same one) does have a clue - just wants to see if he's able to stay in Putin and Ted's good graces

4. IDIOT (OP) Yeah, we know it's you, Donnie!! STFU!!!!!!!

I thought it was just a dream, like the last episode of Newhart.

Extra credit for the "Newhart" reference.

However, you could have won the "BONUS ROUND" with mentioning St. Elsewhere!

I had the strangest dream last night. You'll never believe who was president in my dream. And he did all of this messed up stuff. And people loved him so much, they stormed the Capitol Building when he didn't get re-elected. I know that sounds crazy....no more Japanese food before bedtime.

An Italian restaurant adding shredded Parmesan to your dish at your table would have linked the "Snow Globe" to the whole dream!
Either that, or an earthquake in San Francisco!

And I feel like Biden's inauguration is going to be an important first step in waking up from this nightmare!
