            Probably. Don’t courthouses have cells? Put him in one of those with the security detail. Hell, even just put him under house arrest with an ankle monitor and take away his cell phone.

      Idk the name of the phenomenon but humans would rather appease the loud overbearing fuck sticks in our society rather than tell them to eat shit.

      Because these people make the most noise despite having the least to say rather than tell them to stfu we coddle them to get them to be quiet.

      I think they actually call it “sucking a limp dick”. Really, they want it to be different than sending a tweet or sending an insta, so they say, “hey my bros, I was just logging into truth social and I had so many uneducated things to say, yeah, I sucked so many limp dicks on Truth social, it’s insane my bros!” or “hey that child getting vaccinated really makes me angry, I’m going to suck a limp dick about this so friggin much on Truth social!”

        I was about to complain about your suggestion being homophobic, but obviously the “limp” part is key.

        It’s not an insult towards people who suck dicks, it’s an insult to people who are very bad at it and show no willingness to better themselves!

        Any (blow)job that’s worth doing is a (blow)job worth doing well, as they say!

          I think one should still complain that it is kinda homophobic. I would like to suggest “rimming an anus” as a replacement with a non-gendered recipient.

      One used to Tweet. MAGA will Truth.

      Something odd, late night host Stephen Colbert will say “[ex-president’s last name] Truthed [some post]”. He wouldn’t even say the last name for a while, and would censor it Tr*mp when written on screen. So I’m surprised he uses the branded form of “post” (“Truth”).

        I l’m always torn with the media when it comes to reporting him. They do say the shit he does, which they should, but it usually for more views. By censoring his name it removes some of his power but we have a country filled with dumbasses. So I guess either way it won’t really matter.

        Someone suggested using floppy dick, which is great. Unless you are gay or a woman, then it defeats the purpose.

            It’s neither. It is saying something that just happens to trigger or infuriate a certain type of people.

            Like you could say it to me and I will laugh my ass off. If it was run by an open-minded group of people that understands history and that things are very complicated, I would be sending floppy dicks none stop. You could call me the floppy dick King 👑.

          I require you to submit three photos of the event with five witnesses who were there, and then I might believe your Internet tie post. I am very smart, and know how to dismiss anything out of hand with a [citation needed], even when the events are trivial.
