I'm about to lose it

Just saw a FB meme with one frame showing MSNBC announcing the death of Sen. Warren's brother. The next one said, "He was 86, had cancer and was in a nursing home". As if to say, so what, his death was not important. What's with these "pro-life" folks? I'm beginning to hate them and will lash back just to keep my sanity. Thank you for allowing the rant my DU friends!

as a matter of fact most of are going to die. I mean a great majority of us are going to die, Heck we are all going to die.

It is the timing that is the issue.

10. Excess Deaths tell the tale. It's always somebody else's family that "was going to die anyway".

I turn it in it is like sleeping pill. George Noori always has right wing nut jobs on unless he is talking about remote viewing. You give someone a microphone they all become political experts.

15. An Illinois State Rep...

...referring to a fatal outbreak in a downstate nursing home, Tweeted "They was dying anyway"
Yes, "they WAS".
A state rep callously dismissed the death of 10 people, without the ability to grasp person of the verb " to be". "They was..."
Jackass!

as CNBC Rick Santelli said weeks ago.

To heck with people, the economy is all that matters to goons. Cull the herd/ social Darwinism aka eugenics.

It’s why so many of them are for the death penalty.

until the fetus leaves the womb. After that it's, "pull yourself up by your bootstraps, kid".

I see these goons with their big-ass guns, brandishing their "substitute dicks" in public, in a way that was INTENTIONAL. They meant to look as big and threatening and intimidating as possible. You don't stand around in public, at that kind of event, decked out with "substitute dicks" like that because you're posing for some modeling job, okay? You do it because you want to intimidate. You do it because you want to scare and threaten and bully and intimidate. You do it because you think you need to "send a message" about your stupid fucking "grievances."

And the minute you do that, you lose the argument. You forfeit the high ground. You admit you're nothing but a stupid thoughtless gun goon trying to force YOUR rights on everybody else regardless of the prevailing conditions or situation of the moment. You'll get NO sympathy from me, and you have NO HOPE of convincing me to see "it" your way, whatever "it" is.

You do, however, earn a big fat "FUCK YOU!" from me, and a nice view of my extended middle finger!

I wouldn't give you 50 cents for most of what pretends to be Journalism while selling us more groceries and debt than we'll ever need. Many of the J-school grads are failed actors which is why they must sit behind a desk when they speak on camera. MSM is too often mental training wheels so we'll feel the correct way when the dog whistles blow.

I could go on but, sadly, this is hardly news nor a new rant.
