  Here’s what Rush (rest in piss) had to say about Pete during the 2020 run.

  RUSH LIMBAUGH (HOST): A gay guy, 37 years old, loves kissing his husband on debate stages. Can you see Trump have fun with that?

  They’re looking at Mayor Pete, 37-year-old gay guy, mayor of South Bend, loves to kiss his husband on the debate stage. And they’re saying, OK, how’s this going to look, 37-year-old gay guy kissing his husband on stage next to Mr. Man Donald Trump? What’s going to happen there? And they got to be looking at that, and they’ve got to be saying, that despite all the great progress and despite all the great wokeness, and despite all the great ground that’s been covered, America’s still not ready to elect a gay guy kissing his husband on the debate stage president. They have to be saying this, don’t they? Now, there may be some Democrats who think that is the ticket. There may be some Democrats who think that’s exactly what we need to do, Rush. Get a gay guy kissing his husband on stage, ram it down Trump’s throat, and beat him in the general election. Really. Having fun envisioning that.

  I’ve also seen tons of disgusting comments from Republican politicians and conservatives online speculating about the sexual positions he prefers with his husband.

  There are also lots of disgusting comments about his family - here’s Mike Pence:

  “When Pete’s two children were born, he took two months maternity leave, where upon thousands of travelers were stranded in airports, the air traffic system shut down, airplanes nearly collided in midair,” Pence said. “I mean, Pete Buttigieg is the only person in human history to have a child and all the rest of us get postpartum depression.”

    I just think it’s funny that Rush Limbaugh thought that much about two guys kissing, and encourages others to do the same.

      “There’s nothing good about drug use. We know it. It destroys individuals. It destroys families. Drug use destroys societies. Drug use, some might say, is destroying this country. And we have laws against selling drugs, pushing drugs, using drugs, importing drugs. And the laws are good because we know what happens to people in societies and neighborhoods which become consumed by them. And so if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accused and they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up.”

      Oddly enough, he married four times and never had any children….

        When i was a kid, my grandma lived with us. She’d listen to this piece of garbage non-stop. She had me parroting the drivel he spouted. Nothing could make me forgive this dude for poisoning her mind, and nothing will make me forget how she helped make me into a hateful little kid. Glad they’re both dead, only hoping my own mother doesn’t take up the mantle with my nieces and nephews. She does not understand the harm and the trauma she perpetuates.

    I always laugh when anyone seriously refers to Trump as a “man’s man”. He’s so pathetic and weak. Is that now America’s idea of masculinity?

    It’s always the grossest old men who are like “I just don’t want to imagine two men fucking, It grosses me out.” Like buddy… do you think I want to imagine your fat saggy self sweating and grunting away, regardless of partner choice? No, no I do not. So I don’t. It’s not that hard.

    Mike Pence is so deeply in the closet he’s coming out the other side. He needs Buttgieg at work or his whole world falls apart and he gets depressed? Buttgieg isn’t in his office so planes are gonna fall out of the sky? Very forlorn and unrequited.

    Somehow Palpatine Rush Limbaugh returned.

    Oh, someone quoted him? Don’t even do that, y’all!

      I think it is important to quote him. He’s like Alex Jones - context damns him.

      When we read these quotes, we need to remember that Trump gave him a Medal of Honor.

      “So, Ms. Fluke and the rest of you feminazis, here’s the deal. If we are going to pay for your contraceptives, and thus pay for you to have sex, we want something for it, and I’ll tell you what it is. We want you to post the videos online so we can all watch.”

        I guess we can reasonably disagree on this. Posthumous damnation of Limbaugh sounds less likely to me than letting him trade into obscurity. He was already damned to anyone who would care now.

  Americans being sexist, racist, and homophobic?

  Why is it that’s way? Other western countries have managed to elect gay, female, and people of different races to lead them. Sure, Obama won, but I very much doubt the people that voted Trump in would do so with someone like Obama.
