Now that the profanity riddle is solved, back to politics and Ann's giant adam's apple.
Also, there is scuttlebutt that there is a dress with some of Cheeto DNA on it.

Profanity filters are trivially easy to get around. There were several easy hacks on the old board.
But I still like the filters. Makes you work a little harder so that it is easier not to use the words, and then you only use them when you feel it is really necessary to the point you are making.
Or not, but, whatever. Sometimes I think family friendly is more for parents than kids. Apparently, I have a true conservative side.

I agree that bypassing the filters can be a crutch.

"An ignorant American bigot can... thrill in pitting his democratic power against men whose views are obnoxious to the uneducated.
There is perhaps a special danger in democratic abuses of power- namely, that being collective they are stimulated by mob hysteria. The man who has the art of arousing the witch-hunting instincts of the mob has a quite peculiar power for evil in a democracy where the habit of the exercise of power by the majority has produced that intoxication and impulse to tyranny which the exercise of authority almost invariably produces sooner or later."
-Bertrand Russell, 1940

I wonder who is benefiting from Trump's assault on Amazon.
It's rich hearing him criticize another company for taking full advantage of the incentives and deals that are legally offered to them.

He said that they avoid sales tax, but I am charged sales tax on every purchase. There are thousands of retailers that have no brick and mortar. He singled out Anazon simply because the owner also owns The Washington Post.

He could also be trying to create a buying opportunity for someone by driving the price down. He let his buddy Carl Icahn in on the news about steel tariffs so that he could unload his holdings in Manitowoc before the news hit the stock price.
