There is no comparing Biden to King/Czar/Dictator Frump who wants to take away your democracy. Continue to follow him and his ways bur do not complain and cry to us when he controls every aspect of your life.

    1. Rush represents the worst of America. His death exemplifies they idea that you can only take with you to the other side what you have left behind. Imagine his attempts at explaining his actions on earth to God. God isn’t going to have any of it. You are what comes out of your mouth. How sad that Rush helped to create the world according to Trump. A dark time in American history. I pray that they have learned the lesson of what happens when you idolize the worst of human nature!

    1. ****MEDIA FAIL**** — Apparently, Smercartoonish would say Hitler was a “gifted showman” and orator, too. Limbaugh used divisive demagoguery to peddle lies, fear, bigotry, hypocrisy, and hate–purely for his vanity and greed. He may have achieved the most popularity among the Republican cult he was partly instrumental in creating, but he was only one instrument out of many who exploited the masses in the same way. Together, they were all the “John the Baptist,” making way for America’s version of Hitler, the Traitor-‘n-Thief, Toxic Trump. There was nothing complicated about any of it–many of us have been calling out this Reich-wing demagoguery for what it is and where it would lead us for decades. Media BE better, WE be better!

  2. Freakin pill head got caught smuggling a bottle of boner pills after conviction of oxy abuse,no jail time typical Republican

    1. I remember years ago, there was a popular bumper sticker that said; “Rush is a Band”. Al Franken wrote a book, ” Rush Limbough is a Big, Fat Idiot “. Read it.
