    Rush, Carlson, Hannity, O’Reilly, no one remembers them or will remember them after they’re gone. Agitators who screamed into the void and only served to fatten their pockets and make the world worse.

    My brother was into him back in the day (he still has shit taste) and another sibling and I found a clip of him telling fox news he makes things up and does it all for the money. Brother didn’t care and just kept listening to the guy

    That’s not true.

    I look at Rush Lindburgers children’s book for plenty of entertainment value!

    I also remind people that being an opiate addicted, insecure, racist waste of human being is NO impediment to winning our Medal of Freedom !

    So there!

      He died of lung cancer from all the cigar smoking after decades to claiming that smoking doesn’t cause cancer.

      I wouldn’t wish for anyone’s death, but I can certainly celebrate it after the fact.

        He’s also the reason no conservatives believe in climate change. He started the meme that it’s a socialist conspiracy to extract money out of the US. So her didn’t only not contribute anything worthwhile, he actively worked to make money at the whole world’s expense.

        That’s okay, after filling out a USPS online change of address form I’m now wishing for the death of DeJoy, I can add a random conservative pundit to the list no problem to make up for your lax hate game.

      Nor did I. Wikipedia says complications of lung cancer from his lifetime of smoking

      I suspect the complication was inability to breathe

    While he was replaced, and he’ll continue to be replaced, I still found this to be somewhat uplifting.

    Now I’ll go back to forgetting that shit stain ever lived.

    I’d say his replacement is Alex Jones, and his replacement is Joe Rogan. It’s just a series of ignorant men with microphones and an even more ignorant audience.

    Dana Gould: Hey guys, I was just not remembering Rush and not remembering how influential he was and not remembering how much I hated him.

    Everyone: Yeah, I don’t even remember that he made millions of dollars and I’m not even remembering the exact cemetery that he was buried in. Yay, I’m glad we’re all not remembering this.
