I’ve had “Trump” on my trash word list since before he ran for president. It’s one of the very first words I ever put on there and it’s never left. Does that mean I’ve never seen a thread about Trump in the last ten years? No. I just don’t see threads with “Trump” in the subject line. It really cleans up the mess, especially on days when he says something real fucking stupid and fifty DUers have to post identical threads about it.
