Now that the c-fuck is well and truly over, we still need a place to hurl invective at the loser former president, since, like a case of herpes, he is never going away. I propose this thread to take over where the the earlier clusterfuck threads left off. Here’s a kickoff - the CPAC starts today. > **[It's All About Trump: CPAC Seems Poised To Ignore Republican Identity Crisis](https://www.npr.org/2021/02/25/971130755/its-all-about-trump-cpac-seems-poised-to-ignore-republican-identity-crisis)** > > The former president will headline the annual conservative conference with a Sunday address, his first speech since leaving office. His baseless election fraud claims could also get heavy play. ---

Should this thread also be for on-going legal activity against Trump, like following his tax and fraud investigations, e.g.? Or should we have separate dedicated thread(s) for those things? ---

This thread should be for everything, really. No need for multiple Trump threads, but we all know he’ll keep saying and doing stupid shit. The Trump Clusterfuck Omnibus ---

There’s already a thread on his tax mess, which can play out. I’d be in favor of putting his other legal stuff and woes yet to come (may there be many) here. The less geography he occupies the better. But that’s just IMHO. Ninja’d by @BlankSlate I agree that this should be the omnibus post-CF thread. ---

I’d be so happy if the asshole could stop inciting news coverage of any kind, if only for a few days now and then. Seems like every time I check CNN online, for example, there’s at least one story with his repellent mug prominently displayed. Yes, thanks to heaven, his Twitshit has ceased, and he’s out of the White House, but still his stench is pervasive. ---

That was because it’s in Politics & Elections, and someone (actually several ones, IIRC) objected to having “Clusterfuck” in-your-face on the thread list page, outside the Pit. ---

Oh, okay. That makes sense. But, as I said, since the CF = his (so-called) administration, it’s just as well to refrain from recognizing its existence. > [@digs](#): > > since “The Donald” will keep clustering, it’s good to stay outraged. Clusterers gotta cluster and fuckers gotta… you get the idea. ---

CF is probably better than clstrf\*ck in a title. Many of us navigate the board by Latest, New or Unread buttons rather than specific forum checks. So it is nice to keep even pit threads clean. (Not required by any means). ---

I’m all for having an omnibus thread. I was just reflecting that I miss the SD pre-Trump. It’s angrier and that asshole is really pervasive. He’s tainted these boards for me and it’s nowhere near as fun and free- wheeling as it used to be. Let’s get his stupid petty shit in one small place where it belongs. ---

When it’s all said and done, the country will have suffered eight and maybe even 12 years of Trump as a force in national politics. I’m nearly exhausted already and we’ve got to gear up for another major effort in just 45 months. Think of dat awful man regaining the presidency in '24. The country really might not recover.
