Rittenhouse has become a hero to that cult, how long until we see T shirts on MAGAts saying something like "I'm with DePape" or "Free DePape'My guess is they are being printed now.

Jokes about Paul Pelosi aren’t just in bad taste. They normalize political violence. "Rightwingers are laughing about an attack that left an 82-year-old in hospital. It’s a watershed moment in politics" https://www.theguardian.com...

The guy on the left, giggling, is Dr. Lionel Holden Lee. He lives and primarily practices in California. He’s an ER doc. Laughing at the brutalizations of an 82 yo man.

He's hilarious. He did a routine on the 24 hour news cycle that ought to be watched by everyone in J-school. As for Hans Christian Anderson, he was kind of a dork, at least according to Dickens, and he's been dead so long I think he can take a punch--particularly in the context of a joke on idiot bothsidersism.

Nice attitude. A comedian tells a joke you don't like and you're glad he's dead. Well I'm glad you're not in charge of peoples' lives.

He's been dead so long? He died less than 14 months ago.

I think it is a perfectly-constructed joke.

First, he leads you think that it has something to do with people from Denmark looking down upon Americans for having Donald Trump among our (widely-hated) number.

Then he pulls the rug from under the supposed-Danish person by looking down upon one of his cultural icons.

I miss Norm and his wise-ass shtick.

I know someone on the TV mentioned a guy laughing and covering his face with papers but this was the first pic I saw of it. Geez.

Trust Cruz to misspell Berkeley. Also, the newspaper reports I've read say that Paul Pelosi is expected to make a full recovery.

1875 was less that 14 months ago? You've got Obama's time machine, don't you.
