Apparently, that doesn't qualify as "ghoulish" either.

Meanwhile, have they bothered to care about the people who have to wait 6+ hours to vote because Republicans designed it that way? What about their feelings?

deserve. They are not innocent; many spread misinformation that harms others.

My husband spent almost a week in ICU on a ventilator after he had uncontrolled seizures on Christmas Day. He has COPD, is vaxxed & boostered. He did not have Covid, but had a bacterial pneumonia and high CO2 levels that caused the seizures.

I spent many hours in the ICU & met families of Covid patients and the nurses & staff caring for them. If these sedated, unvaxxed idiots waiting to die could only see the pain they cause.

They are not like the unhelmeted motorcycle rider, who puts himself at risk.

They are like drunk drivers who think it’s all about themselves and their individual choices, until they kill that innocent family. You can mourn them, sure, but let’s place responsibility where it belongs.

Not only did she choose her own disease, she likely directly infected others and encouraged other people to endanger themselves and the community.

Mockery is appropriate if she mocked others. I feel for her family.

But she died of her own bad choices and took a lot of other people down with her.

sober. You have brakes and a steering wheel to stay out of my way. If we do crash, you have airbags, seatbelts and insurance. Car wrecks are 99.6 percent survivable.

Some will open their eyes to that and some…will be dead…no one should take pleasure in that, the fault lies with a national mass media that demurs to the crazy rw media that pollutes everything.

It actually brings joy to my heart when these dumb ass fools get hit, and hit hard with the Covid. Shame on me! Such a sad little man I am. After all, these idiots are being thinned out of the masses, and I have zero remorse with being happy to hear they are no longer above ground....especially those idiots who PROFESS their stupidity and convince their dim witted followers to take their insane advice.

Nope...I feel no remorse whatsoever. Sad...but then, they are sad. Too many are still walking upright, in my humble opinion. There...I've said it. Now, attack...those of you with nothing better to do, because I honestly don't give a shit.
