"rules for thee but not for me". People who said _anything_ they deemed disrespected after Kirk died was basically crucified but when it's against someone they deem an enemy they dont care at all.
Trump supporters and voters will have to live with the fact that they enabled this for the rest of their life. I do not envy them. Especially those that will snap out of it at some point.
They won't just have to live with it. They like it.
My aunt is a republican lobbyist. She is also a drunk. This means she regularly texts us the most incredibly odious beliefs. Stuff like how my other aunt should kill herself because she is a leech for taking disability from the government. MAGA voters aren't sad that Trump is out here saying "fuck you, libs" on a regular basis. They love it.
That was true after 2016, and plenty of them did. The problem is that Grump was able to attract a whole bunch of new scumbags - from his destructive politicization of Covid, the surveillance industry seeing a more direct route to become an inescapable part of the government, the growing performative chest-thumping "manosphere" etc. At this point I don't see much shame on the horizon.
It would, but only once you have fallen under the spell of thinking meaning and authority was to be found there. Consider your zone has been flooded maybe?
> His 448-page report released in April 2019 identified substantial contacts between the Trump campaign and Russia but did not allege a criminal conspiracy. Mueller laid out damaging details about Trump’s efforts to seize control of the investigation, and even shut it down, though he declined to decide whether Trump had broken the law, in part because of department policy barring the indictment of a sitting president.
It still boggles my mind that Trump was even allowed to run for president again, when he publicly and very evidently did whatever he could to try to stop the investigation of himself. In what world does it serve democracy well to let people like that even be candidates or involved in politics at all?
I get why this got flagged and I'm kind of sad for that.
I found Mueller to be highly ethical at times and driven by irrationality (to the point of disingenuousness) at other times. There was a lot to cover about him.

“Robert Mueller just died. Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people!” [1]
What a great guy.

Edit: I am sadly expecting some brigading on this thread.

His entire MO
On the other hand, I can see myself feeling something identical were someone else in particular to die.
If this is just ok now, can I say something like "I'm glad Donald Trump was shot. He's a colossal douchebag"?
Edit: I’m being sincere with this question. I didn’t think he had a beef with Mueller and forgot the original report was never made public.
