Remove all of that.
DU software unfortunately displays parts of URL's that on many other boards are hidden.
YouTube videos also need to be URL trimmed when posted on DU. Same for many image URL's.

Next up, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, the ladies of THE VIEW, and perhaps the longest running show on TV....Saturday Night Live.
Watch this space.

(3,037 posts)I remember way back during the Bush-Cheney years when none other than Brian Kilmeade called for a resurrection of the American Department of Censorship which, he noted, did a superb job protecting our WWI efforts against the Nazis. Except, of course, there has never been a Department of Censorship in the U.S., much as Kilmeade might have wished there had been.
But what Trump is doing is not canceling. He's censoring comedians and others by getting them fired.
Anyway: WHERE ARE THE GODDAM EPSTEIN FILES? (I laugh. Because everybody knows Pam Bondi and Kash Patel have destroyed the juicy ones and redacted the rest beyond any use -- except , maybe, for the Clinton stuff.)

(87,916 posts)The letter you see just before it doesn't have a horizontal line leading rightward from its bottom like you'd imagine "KILL" to have. Looks like it might be an "I". And it looks like it might be a longer word than the four-letter "KILL."
Heck, anybody's guess!

(12,029 posts)No sense of humor. Come to think of it, they don't smile unless a camera is pointed in their direction.
A picture of happiness they are not.
llmart
(16,878 posts)Their "smiles" are never sincere - always phony, so not really a smile at all. They also don't laugh unless it's a Snidely Whiplash sort of laugh as a result of a "joke" which is usually just when they or someone else is demeaning another person. That's what is "funny" to them.
ReRe
(12,029 posts)that last rally they had in Madison Square Garden in NYC. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry at what came out of their mouths. It was definitely R-rated (you wouldn't want your kids or grandkids to hear it).

(16,878 posts)I value my mental health now that I'm old and outside of DU postings, I watch no coverage of them. I refuse to spend the remaining years I may have on this earth poisoning my mind with their hatefulness.
you're better off for not seeing it It was very mean and hateful. Particularly for Puerto Ricans. Charlie Kirk was probably in attendance that night. There was a point I had to turn it off. Maybe someone else can pipe in and tell us whether he was there or not.

A family member used to harass my dad all the time, as if he determined how much your phone bill would be. Then after the Bell companies were broken up due to being a monopoly his phone bills increased. He never harassed my dad after that.
