DU fundraising suggestion for EarlG

Have a feature ready for the day when the bloated orange toad-in-the-oval finally croaks.

When he drops dead or is removed from office, whichever comes first, offer a fireworks or confetti or popping-champagne-bottle special effect for $10 each so that every post you make contains this effect in the background when you open it, and then fades (if the effect is persistent it could become overly distracting). Once purchased the feature would be active for maybe a couple days and then turns off automatically. Keep the effects available for purchase until the flag-at-half-staff bullshit is over.

Or some variation of this. Others might have more creative ideas.

I would like to think we will have some celebratory party treats ready for this festive occasion.

Let's make DU feel like Mardi Gras for a few days!
