I wanted to take the higher ground. I really did.

[Soph0571]

I wanted to go on to posts and say if you can't say anything good maybe you should not say anything at all, but then I thought fuck that, what has that miserable pissant ever done to deserve one iota of compassion in death. This is who that wanker was...



This fucker did more to radicalise the ill educated and those without critical thinking skills over the last couple of decades than anyone else in the media landscape. He enabled the seditious fucker that squatted in the WH and tried to destroy America to be elected, not because of conviction but for ratings, drugs and blow jobs (I made that bit up but I am sure it is true!). His rotting, sordid, hate filled heart will rest in piss (I stole that from Arkansas Grannies post! - such a great turn of phrase), and the world is a better place without him.

Rush right now but without the moves...

1. TY

[lunatica]

2. Everybody dies. It's not some sacred thing.

If you hated them in life what good will it do you to suddenly not hate them in death?

[cab67]

10. It's generally a matter of respecting those who mourn a loss.

Criticizing someone who's just died can make things worse for those close to that person.

That being said, if someone had no redeeming qualities and caused great harm in life, I'm a lot less disposed to be respectful of those in mourning.

[sarge43]

12. That's assuming anyone is mourning. n/t

29. My brother in law will not know what to do for a couple hours every afternoon.

[lunatica]

30. He'll have withdrawal shivers and shakes

and fill in the emptiness by feeling sorry for himself.

[appleannie1]

33. Once they visited me for a couple days

On the first day he asked where my radio was. I told him there might be one in one of the kid's rooms. I asked what he needed it for. I found one and went out to the front porch. He followed wanting to know why I went outside instead of plugging it in by the air conditioner inside. I replied "I don't allow hate in my house" and showed him where the outside plug was. He could not even forgo Rush on vacation.

34. Rage is addictive

I’m being serious here. Strong emotion, especially rage starts in the brain which floods the body with adrenalin. This creates an adrenalin rush and part of that is a flooding of the brain with blood. It’s more complicated than what I’m saying here, but some people actually do activity that creates that rush. Any activity that is inherently dangerous can cause it. It’s why some people are athletes in dangerous sports. Sky diving, bungee jumping, cage diving with sharks as well as watching horror movies. I’m no doctor but I think rage works this way too.

Some people have to have a fix. I think MAGATs are all pretty much addicted to rage. So is Trump and everyone close to him, like family, because he is who generates that rage.

[mousegirl]

32. Apparently

His wife seems to be mourning him, at least from her public statement.

[SlogginThroughIt]

35. Anyone mourning rush supported him.

And so I say fuck those people too!

[sammythecat]

36. My sentiment as well. n/t

[sarge43]

37. Not so much mourning as bewildered

Who else told them exactly what to think and validated their bigotry?

*ucker Carlson will take his place very quickly.

[lagomorph777]

38. Why should I respect anybody who mourns that piece of shit?

They are as bad as he is.

[cab67]

39. I'm with you in this case.

[FakeNoose]

3. Oooh, righteous gif!

Well done Soph!

[Soph0571]

17. I thought it appropriate!

LOL

[Tommymac]

4. Exactly.

I'd sooner mourn a dead slug.

[niyad]

5. At least the dead slug can be useful in the compost heap. . .

[MyOwnPeace]

9. To be honest......

I'd rather not subject my tomatoes to him.....

[niyad]

13. Exactly. Was referring to the previous poster mourning a dead slug, not rush.

[MyOwnPeace]

14. Ha!!!!!

I don't like slugs either, and I have to use "beer traps" to be rid of them - and I HATE using the beer for that!

[niyad]

15. Fortunately, we do not have a slug problem here. And I don't drink beer. But I do

understand. Akin to wasting wine!!!!

[MyOwnPeace]

23. Ah! You GET it!

When a recipe calls for adding some wine while you're cooking, I always note that it does NOT call for a vintage date! The '2 for $8' Chardonnay always seems to work just fine!

[niyad]

31. Those of us of a certain age and location fondly remember "2 buck chuck". Of course, I also

adhere to the maxim of "never cook with a wine you won't drink."

[Tommymac]

26. Cheers! nt

[sobenji]

6. Celebrating aids deaths.

I’ll never forget that. My best friend had just died of AIDS when he did that shit.

[bucolic_frolic]

7. Rush created mental certainty in stupid people while Russia gaslit the rest of us

to the point where we doubted every thought, move, and action. Trump was the result.

Politically, society is divided between certitude and doubt. We have to make the other side doubt everything.

Gaslight them. Work on your technique. They need to open their minds, and I'm convinced this is part of the solution.

[dalton99a]

8. For DECADES, day after day he brainwashed and poisoned the minds of millions

[Evolve Dammit]

11. x1000. Truth. since 1986 (or so). I remember hearing him on AM in '89 wondering WTF??

[Ferrets are Cool]

16. You were being much too kind

I wish there was a hell, but if it is "only" reincarnation, I hope he comes back as a slug that crosses a hot highway, meets a 6 year old with salt on the other side and dies a miserable death squirming in pain. Multiple times.

[Hekate]

18. KnR, Soph. I was going to rise above it until I was reminded of some of his lowest sayings...

You cured me.

[Soph0571]

19. I take a righteous bow to you

I struggled about this for a minute. But literally a minute. Horror show of bile, vile, far right male, far right stale, far right white, far right privileged insurrectionist he was. History will not be kind, and neither should we.

[MyOwnPeace]

25. Whoa!!!! Soph - GREAT words!

"History will not be kind, and neither should we."

Absolutely awesome!!!!

[Maru Kitteh]

20. I am Maru Kitteh, and I approve this message. nt

[dchill]

21. The obvious question is "What good thing did he EVER do or say?"

IDK.

[BigmanPigman]

22. Joy Reid and Charlie Sykes are being honest

about all the evil he has done for 30 years. The GOP became the paety of hate due to him. I am having a great day since I learned he died...

[yardwork]

24. Right there with you.

[stage left]

27. My take is

If you don't want people to rejoice when you die, don't be a vile and ugly asshole.

[speaknow]

28. He got the medal of freedom and

now he's free, rotten to the core. There is NO high
ground when it comes to people like him, nor should
there be. Lets give him the 3 hymns, HIM, HIM, HIM,
Fuck him!
