Well I'm sure the difference between good and bad is if you smug post about the death of a kid not if you order the execution of thousands or anything.

Yeah, but maybe if you spend a significant portion of your time and influence making GBS threads on another family's loss of their child because it's politically advantageous for you, you don't deserve the peace that you denied them.

That's what I tried to tell people when poor little Helmuth Goebbels died. It's the death of a child, have some respect for what the father must be going through!

All the Goebbels children were murdered when their parents committed suicide. And it's like sure, he was a monster, but do you really need to get off on a 4 year old being poisoned to death? Is that how sad and broken your life has become? You can just poo poo on the dude, don't need to bring a kid into it.

I don't care what else happens in 2017, if Trump becomes self-aware, that will be the most surprising and unlikely event of the year.

Even if he found himself actually having such thoughts, his ego and senility would team up to smother those new feelings in their crib, and he'd bounce back more awful than ever, further inoculated against future introspection.

That's pretty loving sad for the Goebbels kids. Most likely at least one of them would have grown up to repudiate their parents horrible actions and become a decent person. I don't want to dance on their graves. They were victims too.

I really hope its wrong, but it seems a little odd that he turns up dead as soon as Eric got the full boot.

"You're gunna break it!"

A retrospective on a disgusting career.

https://www.mediamatters.org/people/eric-bolling

quote:

During his time as a host on Fox News, Bolling was a major Trump sycophant who consistently expressed racist, xenophobic, and misogynist views. He had to apologize for asking on-air whether the first female UAE pilot who conducted bombing against Islamic State terrorists “would be considered boobs on the ground.” Bolling also once claimed Obama was "chugging a few 40’s" and said Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA) should “step away from the crack pipe.”

It could have been suicide because he thought he was going to be poor. I mean, this is a conservative family and a teenager so unfortunately, that is a possibility. But even if that kid wasn't so intelligent, it isn't like leaving Fox these days is a kiss of death for a conservative media personality.

It turns my stomach whatever justifications you give it.

I want fascists to shut up/stop hurting people/apologize/go to prison. Having something randomly horrible happen to them is just unsatisfying. Like if Cersei Lannister were to die between seasons, of the flu.

Gloating on it is hateful.

If Donald Trump resigns next week in shame, I'll gloat as hard as anyone. He deserves it. If his granddaughter gets cancer, I will not loving gloat because a) that's just random bad luck, not justice and b) she is a separate human being with no involvement in his crimes so it would be vile to gloat.

By all accounts he was still seeing bad press, in large part because random people would walk into his office and rile him up about fake news.

Posting a crass post about some horrible person isn't even in the same moral spectrum as a real world impact. It doesn't hurt the kid and it won't hurt the dad since he's not a goon.
