...makes my knees go wobbly. Mmmmm, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, mmmmmmmm!

Deciding to become a US citizen in order to help resist Trump is an impressive commitment.

My only complaint against DU is the overuse of this type of "clickbait". I am probably older than you, so I think of "the little boy who cried wolf". But I agree with you completely. "Clickbait" is the perfect description. The information is what matters, not the colorful description of the information. For me, credibility suffers from the grandiose use of superlatives.
