    It’s wild how one single guy pretty much opened the flood gates for brazen stupidity to be a brand instead of an embarrassment.

      To be fair, they were building up to it for a very long time. Like everything else, donnie just slaps his name on other people’s work.

      Assholes like Murdoch, Ailes, Limbaugh - and all his imitators on hate radio, the Koch Brothers, Alex Jones, Newt Gingrich, the Blessed Saint Ronnie Raygun himself (PBUH), etc…have been working to dismantle any semblance of sanity, reasonableness, and consensus reality for decade upon decade.

      The arrival of someone like donnie is just the latest and most visible symptom of this conservative rot.
