    And it inspired me to live more healthily so I can see the deaths of Tucker Carlson, Donald Trump, and Jack Antonoff, not because of Jack’s politics, I just find him annoying.”

    That’s optimistism.

    he may still be dead, but our kids’ kids will still be living with the consequences of the shit he spewed for years.

      You don’t really think of cancer as taking one for the team, but that one really did.

    It’s canceled out when you remember Kissinger is alive though.

    Unfortunately, there’s so much recorded Rush Limbaugh that it would be trivial to produce centuries worth of Rush deepfakes. I’m surprised there’s not a podcast of this shit already.

      No, he and his spawn need to be put in prison first. He can die, but not until after he’s found guilty, seen his reputation/legacy destroyed, and watched his inner circle tear each other apart in a cannibalistic brawl to avoid jail time.

      If he dies first, I worry that it will be too easy for anyone with the last name Trump to use him as a scapegoat and get off scot-free.

          wasn’t downplaying public health efforts

          Uh well… He campaigned relentlessly saying tobacco didn’t cause cancer (ah the sweet irony he died of lung cancer) and that seatbelts were a way for government to control you. So…

          You can trace a lot of modern maga movement to Limpballs. He had a massive following and turned a lot of people extremist. Watch the documentary The Brainwashing of my Dad.

              Having taken care of an elder who listened to this asshat spew his hate every morning I can agree with OP. And also, fuck you!

      This is such a cop out, low effort, parroted phrase to passively aggressive say “forget the past and how fucked up it was, especially since it was my in-group that did the fucking up, and we reserve the right to fuck up the same way in the future”.

      So no, I’m won’t forget the shitty past, as I do not want that to be mistaken for tacit forgiveness, and I do not want to see that shitty past repeated.

          I also forgot he existed, but I don’t mind being reminded now.

          If you forgot he existed and someone reminded you while he was still alive, that would be a bad thing.
