In remembrance of Charlie Dick

Just when I thought I had a bead on how hateful, ignorant and racist Americans can be, it has become clear I got it wrong. I had severely underestimated the festering ugliness that has engulfed this nation. This was ironically revealed by the murder -- I won't say it's an assassination -- of the right wingnut pictured above.

His sudden demise has certainly captured a lion's share of the digital ink across all social media platforms. Much more so than the assassination of Democratic Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman, who was slain in her home with her husband and her dog. Even if the dog did nothing more than deposit poops to fertilize midwestern lawns, he/she contributed more to life on Earth than the hate monger who is being honored with flags at half staff.

As I write this, Trump and his taintlicking GOP lawmakers are pushing for his body to lie in state at the Capitol building rotunda. I'm shocked they haven't called the Pope calling for beatification with full sainthood.

I may make crude jokes or enjoy undue schadenfreude, though fruitless, when the president found himself in trouble with the law, but I stand firmly against political violence. And know from my limited knowledge of history, that no good ever springs from it. 

Red Hats on the other side of the aisle seem a bit more mercurial on the matter. 

So much so that when the Senate and the House were attacked on January 6th, 2021, many of the cowering congressional GOP representatives have now whitewashed the tragedy and repainted the greatest example of partisan political violence as nothing more than a "Tourist Visit." 

And since his disastrous election in 2024, the president has gone on to pardon the same people who trespassed, broke through police barricades, smeared their post-corndog feces all over the building and injured 140 Metro Police Officers, protecting the aforementioned representatives, with fire extinguishes, bear spray and flagpoles.

Trump is even encouraging the "violent political criminals" to file suit against the US government, seeking reparations for their hardship. Reminder, Crazy Trashli Babbitt's family got $5 million for her treasonous mischief.

I had, and still have, no love for Charlie Cuck. 

His death, at the hands of a young man raised in the bowels of the very gun culture Charlie celebrated, might not have happened if we had sensible gun laws and stopped glorifying the 2nd amendment. But that's not going to happen, especially during this, the Fourth Reich. The best we can offer his friends, family and fellow members of the Red Hat brigade is the same we offer grieving parents of schoolkids who are gunned down every damn year -- Thoughts and Prayers.

Before you or corporate America, bullied by the buffoon behind the Bully Pulpit, deify Charlie, I suggest you read some of his prior comments/tweets/positions. 

I'd also suggest you acquaint yourself with the likes of Nick Fuentes, Pepe the Frog, The Oathkeepers, Groypers, Three Percenters, Proud Boys, and the entire cast of the racist and misogynistic Right Wing World that are determined to divide whatever it is that still manages to unite us because as of today we are hanging on by the barest of threads.
