I’m relieved he outlived the Trump administration. Can you imagine him lying in state in the Capitol Rotunda, his all-too-real Presidential Medal of Freedom prominently displayed? ---

Oh, you motherfucking sack of racist angry loathesome female-hating thin-skinned shit. Lung cancer? Oh good. That means you suffocated to death. A horrible aware death. A wretched terrifying slow end. Filled with fear. And frailty. I hope it lasted for endless days and nights. And I hope the assdribbles that pass for family in your life are just miserable. And remain so for many years to come. ---

You know what my favorite thing about Rush’s show was? Turning it off in mid-rant. “Obama, the halfrican-American…” **Click** “COVID-19 is the common cold…” **Click** Now I won’t have the enjoyment of doing that any more. Sad face. ---

He is exaggerating the effects of death. He isn’t moving and it’s purely an act. This is the only time I’ve ever seen Rush Limbaugh portray any of the symptoms of mortality. He can control himself to keep breathing. And he can control himself enough to keep his eyes right on the lens, the teleprompter. But his head and shoulders aren’t moving. This is really shameless, folks. This is really shameless of Rush Limbaugh. Either he didn’t take his chemotherapy or he’s acting. ---

I’m going to brag and say I don’t think I’ve ever heard more than 10 words that ever came out of his mouth. But 7 of them offended me somewhat. Fuck that guy. ---

That’s why I’m not too bothered either way about his death. He opened Pandora’s box. He was around a long time and he influenced a lot of voters who continue to live, and created enough imitators (Beck, Jones) to have his disgusting legacy live on well after his death. You can’t undo what this idiot has done to America, whether he’s dead or not. ---

So? Half the country thought he was a good president, he can rant on the radio just as easily as from the Oval Office. ---

But he wouldn’t be occupying the same space as Rush. Not that I listened to him, but my understanding is that Rush could be intelligent and funny (although in the service of evil). ---
