or so when he decided to go where the morons are, as speaking to them for effect in the simple terms they prefer isn't a difficult skill to learn eve n for a functional illiterate like Trump.
And entirely appropriate when discussing Donald Trump, whose decision to do wnplay the seriousness of the Covid-19 epidemic does seem to have contribut ed to the deaths of 500,000 American so far. He's not unique in his incompetence - a number of advanced industrial count ries have been too worried about the economic consequences of going for eff ective lock-down to do it early enough for it be useful, or to persist with it until the infection has been cleared from the community, but nobody els e seems to have done significantly worse.

To be fair to Trump supporters, I doubt of many of them favor of mass executions of traitors and sending millions of immigrants and gays to death camps. The problem is that many of them are so deplorably ignorant that they will tolerate pretty horrid behavior. John Larkin certainly fits in there.

The Trump party says there will be no further compromises. As such, all potential "solutions" to political differences from this perspective are final. What else is there.
To be fair I believe this is a losing position for them which they will ultimately regret.
Why? If they report facts, they'll be the same. If they apply spin, I'll want to ignore that, and make up my own mind. There are good newspapers, and bad ones, but you can't tell one from the other without looking ELSEWHERE than those secondary sources.
No matter what the 'stop the steal' folk say, they couldn't find an election official to testify to any fraud.

WTF, more anger? I think the dead should be respected. Mostly 'cause that 's the kind thing to do for those still living that loved him. If you have no thing kind to say, be quiet out of respect for the living. (And bad behavior by others is no excuse.) Next year sometime you can remind us all how much you hated him. (If you even care by then.)
To paraphrase Tammy Faye*, "We're all sinners, that doesn't mean we shouldn 't be loved and cared for." This while visiting gays dying of aids in hospitals.

That might be kind, but it would also be condoning some remarkably appallin g behavior. His relatives must have known that he was nasty piece of work, and that kind of reaction won't come as any kind of surprise.

My question was "why". Did you READ the question you quoted? Do you have an answer?
Sure. The left should really find some nice things to say about guys like Rush, who worked tirelessly for 30 years to encourage the idea that the left should be killed and exterminated, and if it can't they're the "haters."
It's hard to say what makes the average boomer such habitual liar and gas-lighter. Lead gasoline exposure is one of my hypotheses.

Grin, Yeah that's what I thought bitrex should raise.
0.) I did warn you about the first bits... 1.) 'you' in this case should be taken in the plural and not singular. 2.) I'm pretty sure Scott could write a same/ similar thing about democrats. (There was a nice hit piece in the NYT a week or so ago.) 3.) There's dark humor (satire, irony) that runs through the piece. It's written to his audience, after I get over the shock of it, the truth underneath makes me laugh. I guess that's a lot of humor, it depends on the audience. 4.) I know this is going to sound weird to you, but to me, hidden underneath is a support for some of Trumps policies, immigration restrictions, bring back manufacturing. 'Everyone should go to college' is dumb. A pushback against the liberal wokeness. Maybe the offensive parts are there to piss you off so you won't read any further.From what I can tell he's a pretty awesome guy.

Sorry, that was a silly thing for me to say.

Note that for one side socialism is an issue of concern and for the other side capitalism is.
Democrats are delusional.
If you can't get a government "official" to admit they were involved in corruption then there's no corruption. All those hundreds of "unofficial" people under oath mean nothing.

Of course Republicans confuse socialism with communism, and seem to imagine that capitalism will regulate the free market perfectly well on it's own - no need for anti-trust legislation.
Whereas Republicans seem to think that Donald Trump won the 2020 US presidential election in a landslide, and was denied victory by massive voter fraud.
They couldn't persuade any US court that this had happened, but they still seem to be attached to the idea.
Tom Del Rosso seems to be the delusional character here.
