We have no control over this, "Kind of wish that they would hide them instead of deleting them". When we nuke someone under 100 posts, all posts within 24 hours are automatically removed. Also, no posts are "hidden" any more, they are all deleted. The transparency of hidden posts was removed back in June of last year.

First thing that popped up was a request to do jury duty. It was for the 2nd post in this thread.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028441181

I voted it should be removed. Once I completed JD, I went and found the thread. She had posted numerous times. I alerted on another. Before I went back to bed, I checked. She had been removed.

Good Work MIRT!

Yes, I supported Sanders in the Primary, and then supported Clinton in the General and FOR THE FREAKIN' LIFE OF ME do not understand how any thinking, rational person can believe IN ANY SHAPE FORM OR FASHION that somehow Trump is a better choice than Clinton for President.

TRUMP IS NOT BETTER FOR ANYTHING AT ANYTIME. The man is dangerously mentally unhinged.
The man knows absolutely nothing about politics or world affairs, and is a CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER to this country.

He also has a short attention span, among other problems!

He's not loyal to anyone except the people who serve his interests. If anyone thinks Putin and him are going to be peaceful/helpful to each other forever, they're deluding themselves! Trump didn't even stay loyal to his supposed "friend" and mentor, Roy Cohn.

http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/07/25/donald-trumps-ghostwriter-tells-all

As far as Schwartz could tell, Trump spent very little time with his family and had no close friends. In “The Art of the Deal,” Trump describes Roy Cohn, his personal lawyer, in the warmest terms, calling him “the sort of guy who’d be there at your hospital bed . . . literally standing by you to the death.” Cohn, who in the fifties assisted Senator Joseph McCarthy in his vicious crusade against Communism, was closeted. He felt abandoned by Trump when he became fatally ill from AIDS, and said, “Donald pisses ice water.” Schwartz says of Trump, “He’d like people when they were helpful, and turn on them when they weren’t. It wasn’t personal. He’s a transactional man—it was all about what you could do for him.

He grew up as a little shit spark from the ol' shit flame, then he turned into a shit bonefire and then, driven by the winds of his monumental ignorance, he turned into a raging shit fire storm. We need to unleash a shitnomi tidal wave that'll engulf Trump and extinguish his shit flames forever... and with any luck... he'll drown in the undershit of that wave... shitwaves.

EDIT: Sorry... I watched some old episodes of Trailer Park Boys recently.

that bothered the living hell out of me but I don't know if it's in the alert category. And another poster supported that post.

Is it okay on here to say Trump winning may have been the best thing that happened for democrats. Not the exact words, but it was said meaning it will help them with their little damn revolution.
I asked if poster was glad trump won. Got no answer. Thread still there. It really doesn't seem right to me to support trump win on here for any reason.

I've wondered if it's going to take another Great Depression to get through to some voters, for example.

It blows my mind how frequently Americans vote for Republicans after Democrats finally improve the economy and reduce overall suffering.

ready to change up the democratic party just like we told them before the election.

In two months I will be a member of DU for 14 years. A good, loyal, easy to get along with member. This is where I can be to keep away from right wing dung. I don't watch tv or listen to radio.

But if I have to see support for trump here, at all, including threads I innocently click on not expecting any such support, well hell, I just can't be here if that is going to be acceptable.


Being happy trump won to back up someone's previous agenda is just as bad or probably worse than the obvious trolls.

I really don't know what to do. I can't accept support for trump on DU for any reason.

I looked for what I think you're talking about, but I got weary of looking through threads that I previously perused.

Trump is a nightmare, so I wouldn't like to see anyone act happy about him as POTUS either.

I've stated the US is the same way. We need to hit rock bottom before people reject this conservative Republican bullshit. We aren't there yet because too few white people are hurting yet.
