Thanks, monkeyman1 and GoodRaisin!!

Why couldn’t I have guessed that one? And it’s fitting as can be. Especially when it refers to a self-absorbed adult-size three-year-old who lives only to hear his name repeated one everyone’s lips, and see it plastered all over everywhere in public, spelled out in oversized gold-colored letters.

That’s one of the worst insults you can hurl at him. To ignore and never use or invoke his fucking name.

TFG. Emphasis on the “F” - for a few reasons!

You can expect a drumbeat of these types of characterizations as the American people awaken to exactly what went on, and why.

But we have to make the connections, and make the case.

They repeat each other or soundbite their way through what once was news and information. They don't ask follow-up questions nor do they appear to do any research beyond the latest headlines.

They were raised on what we used to call gossip and innuendo, which they now glibly report as if it were revelatory information.

Yes, I know they're in the business of selling beer, soap, groceries, insurance and anything else they can package.

We need a new standard and should demand better from them as we indeed need to do from too many of our own in Congress.

... though I would myself not use that label, in respect for the way larger suffering in other countries. But TFG used his military power way more bloody actively than the media showed, eagerly continuing the endless wars:

In labeling Trump a war criminal, Bernstein specifically pointed to his administration's response to the Covid-19 health crisis and the January 6 Capitol riot. The journalist said it's important to look at the "tens of thousands of people who died because of his homicidal negligence in the pandemic" and his "fomenting a coup to hold on to office." Trump put his own electoral interest above the health of Americans "as they were slaughtered in this pandemic," Bernstein added.
