Maybe one of our resident trolls will pass this on to Lara Ingraham----

Ms. Ingraham:

Recently it was revealed that, on last January 6th, you were VERY concerned that Donald Trump was "destroying his legacy". After only a moment's reflection, it seems that you somehow do not understand that MOST of America is praying that we will be able to destroy Trump's "legacy" within our lifetimes. Have you ever taken stock of just what Trump's "legacy" amounts to?

In the course of Trump's four year regime:

---he gave us more racism, religious bigotry and misogyny;

---he told us that Klan members and other violent white supremacists were "fine people";

---he made "grab 'em by the pussy!" his most popular quote;

---he fed us over 30,000 verified lies;

---he represented us on the world stage as an arrogant, rude, vulgar and classless fool;

---he coddled foreign butchers and cozied up to any powerful autocrat who flattered him;

---he left us with hundreds of thousands of unnecessary dead Americans by ignoring the seriousness of the covid pandemic;

---he caused nations that have been reliable allies for decades question whether WE were reliable friends;

---he used the prestige and power of the presidency to enrich himself and his spawn;

---he was impeached twice---a record---and was spared conviction and removal from office ONLY because of the transparent partisan corruption of his party in the Senate;

There's more, Lara, but I will end this by reminding you that, not only was he not re-elected, he threw a tantrum about his defeat and incited a violent insurrection in an attempt to seize the presidency he had just lost.

This has been but a sampling of the loss, pain, grief, disgust and fear which constitute Trump's "legacy, Ms Ingraham. It will be difficult to "destroy" and impossible to forget.

But, we are damn sure going to try.

Bookmarking because it's THAT good.

Deserving of more audience than Ingram. She's gonna hate this. 😏

May I respectfully pass your writing along to a most appreciable audience?

I will credit your screen name if you wish.

Thanks

Although it would make for some interesting dispatches from reporters in the field.

What does it take to bring her down?

We should boycott her sponsors maybe? That worked for Bill O'Reilly.

I noticed something odd abut Ingraham et al. broadcasting on That Day after their frantic texts to Meadows. When Rachel posted a clip of each of them saying (a) it was no biggy, and (b) the whole crowd was sprinkled with Antifa but 99.9% of everybody else was causing no trouble — I noticed that each of them was very pale, and speaking with obvious strain.

Hmmm. I guess some days the weight of all the BS is just too much.

And he called those that served in the military suckers and losers!

He said those that stormed The Capitol are very special people and that he loves them!

The only thing I would add is the Big Lie. He didn't just throw a tantrum about his defeat and incite a violent insurrection; he did his best to convince as many people as possible that the election was stolen from him via rampant (actually nonexistent) voter fraud. He also tried very hard (unsuccessfully) to influence election officials in various states that he lost to, in effect, help HIM steal the election.

Everything in the list is great. I would go a little farther in certain areas like the Big Lie, but what's there is *chef's kiss.*

... but it's going to take more than words to bring Laura Ingraham down.

We need to boycott her sponsors, or at least start a letter-writing campaign. (?)
I don't know, but a boycott finally got Bill O'Reilly fired when his sponsors dumped him.

to be directed at a whole slew of trump enablers and rabble rousers who would think of nothing else other than trampling the constitutional rights of millions and millions of us to put a mindless and soulless, pathetic little weasel in power again. Thank god we have people like you (and millions of others of us) that voted this gutter mouth out of office.

Thank you for your powerful words. They go a long way to show the power of the written word.
