This Is What Scum Looks Like

“We have come to live in a society based on insults, on lies and on things that just aren’t true. It creates an environment where deranged people feel empowered.” – Colin Powell

When the cruelty is the point, did you even have a point to begin with?

When unabashed hatred becomes your calling card, were you just a hateful person all along who’s been exposed by your enthusiastic participation and support of your tribe? Were you just looking for a chance to show your true self, and now you’ve found it?

The photo above is a compilation of the responses of some Republican politicians and public figures to the brutal attack on Paul Pelosi, the husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, by an assailant in their San Francisco home last year.

An 82-year-old man was almost beaten to death with a hammer, and this collection of scum thought it would make a great joke. They figured it would somehow be a keen talking point in their endless attempts to “own the libs” because life and death is no big deal when it involves the other side.

Surveillance and police body camera footage of the incident were released last week, showing that those on the Right making false, and sometimes homophobic, claims about the attack were simply lying.

Yeah, real funny.

About Rick Elia

Rick Elia wrote for a newspaper for over 20 years, until he stopped doing that. After that he did some (mostly perfectly legal) stuff we don’t want to talk about. He started writing Facebook posts as therapy for the trauma of the 2016 presidential election. One day he came up with the idea of putting his writings into a blog. So he did. Previously, he created two other blogs: The Folks from Patterson Avenue: http://www.pattersonavenue.blogspot.com 3 Dog Productions Video Village: http://www.3dogproductions.blogspot.com

    Rick, well done. Tell it like it is. All the childish nonsense reveals the republicans for what they are; circus clowns, filled with hate and hungry for power and money. God help us 👍👍👍👍👍.
