This dude is finally dead and everyone here knows how much of a piece of shit he was. I don't want to hear another thing about him ever again.

Please allow for 2 weeks of celebration, then he can fade into obscurity

[–] krashmo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I'm fine with celebration. This doesn't seem like that to me but if that's what it is to you then to each his own.

I'm split between feeling like he doesn't deserve to be remembered or thought about at all and needing to remember how awful of a human he was as a warning.

Don’t even need him as a warning when we have blaring sirens in office now who are as bad or worse.

I remember watching that rant as it happened, and my immediate reaction was "Oh, he's pissed they've almost forgotten that they don't care about rape."

Graham was always going to be a rubber stamp for Trump judges. Kavanaugh was part of the team that shut down the Florida recount for Bush, so he was already a Made Man.

I'm far more disgusted with a senile Dianne Feinstein waving through ACB a month before the 2020 direction, after McConnell had successfully stonewalled Obama nominees for over a year.

Long gone are the days when you can Bork a nominee from the liberal end of the Senate.

They've fucked

I like to believe that a worm is wriggling its way up his dickhole as we speak.
