        Is the hyphen (Tr-mp) a thing? Can't be like G-d. More like f*ck?

        .@abasedlife Given that @sapinker is Jewish, does he not realize the implication of not spelling out Trump's name? http://www.jewfaq.org/name.htm

        Seriously, Trump is like Voldemort? He is he who must not be named.

        Can't type his name? That doesn't seem terribly rational.

        Pinker is in the tradition of charlatan SJ Gould -- their politics, values , beliefs trump reason and empiricism

        Why the hyphen instead of a "u?" Just to deligitimize? OK, then, I'm there.
