Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsThe attack on Mr. Pelosi is the result of the toxic stew that comes from the right's hate talk
... media, web sites, and politicians. In Ohio JD Vance has been running commercials linking
Tim Ryan to Nancy Pelosi 24/7 as if she some kind of devil. It includes a pictures to make
Speaker Pelosi look ugly too. Fox News also owns this attack big time as do all the other
hate talkers.
We need to crush these bastards in this election.

to rig the vote in OH. She got real life death threats from some of Fox's mouth breathing watchers
to the point she wasn't safe in her own home. Bill O'Rielly got Dr. Tillerson killed too.

(16,273 posts)SO MUCH goes back to Trump, from January 6 to the armed vigilantes watching ballot drop boxes to all the scads of election deniers running for office in this election. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. The list of fires he's poured gasoline on would easily fill a shelf full of books. It's insane how much anger, hate, violence, and other horribleness this one asshole has unleashed on this country, and he is nowhere near finished.
The worst part, to my mind, is that his sole motivation for all of this goes back to his desperate need to bolster his giant yet incredibly fragile ego, starting with his desire to get back at Obama for embarrassing him at the 2011 White House Correspondents dinner. Just look at what's happened since then. How many people have DIED, and how many others have been harmed in a multiplicity of ways, all because of ONE malignant narcissist who couldn't take a joke?
And as I alluded to above, he's not even close to being done. Even IF he were arrested tomorrow, his influence will be with us for at least as long as as any members of his "fan club" remain in office. That's why the stakes of this election are so incredibly high. God knows how much more havoc he'll be able ro wreak if we don't hold on to AT LEAST one house of Congress.
I refuse to even entertain the notion of his running in 2024, much less anything beyond that. There's a finite amount of abject terror that my brain can process at one time, and it's maxxed out for now. "Sufficient unto the day is the evil therof."

(70,447 posts)was arrested in Pittsburgh for soliciting an undercover male policeman to buy sex,
traveled to the Dominican Republic so he could pay to fuck little boys in the ass,
was married 3 or 4 times but never had any kids, had his wives sign NDAs, and
died a painful death from lung cancer after telling his listeners that smoking his
cigars was harmless?
A former high school teacher who taught honors chemistry and was a very good tennis
coach and player started to listen to "el Rushbo" and he was gone.

Botany
(70,447 posts)... hate talk. I don't want to sound petty but the man didn't suffer enough. Even with 1 foot in the grave he was pushing Trump's hydroxycholorquine snake oil for C-19. Trump and Kushner had bought a shit load of that crap on 2029.

DENVERPOPS
(8,790 posts)It should apply to anything broadcast over the air waves, especially Fox News.........
The Networks didn't even broad cast Biden's speech a few weeks ago, but the sure as hell allowed Trump to go on during primetime, every night for an hour during the pandemic. Of course he baited them with that he was going to give an update on the virus, which he did for about two minutes, and then launched into a tirade of his angry, demeaning corrupt rhetoric for the other 58 minutes.........That went on for two months before some of the networks let him say anything about the Virus, and then cut back to normal broadcasting at the end of his two minutes about the virus....
Prof. Toru Tanaka
(1,943 posts)Remember him talking about UV lights and disinfectants? Or how the whole thing was either: a) a complete hoax and "fake news" or b) "it'll be gone away before you know it!". And the dipshit never wore a mask to set a good example for others.

(70,447 posts)... "the big lie" that Trump really won the 2020 election to the dumb fucks. It used to be
easy to find but now it is all but impossible to find "it." For some reason some of the super
rich wanted to promote "the big lie" in order to cause division in America.
BTW I grew up and have been a big Browns fan but after the way they left the city, with Jimmy Haslam
being such a shit, ( https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/11214330/jimmy-haslam-company-pilot-flying-j-pay-92m-fine )
and bringing in Deshon Watson I now want them to lose every game as long he owns the team.
When Haslim's scam of his customers was busted his #2 called him up and said said something like, "They have
caught us." To which Haslam did not ask what it was about.
